(English)Ar Tonelico 2 METHOD_REPLEKIA/. with lyrics

[renation89]

is this really akiko shikata?? the voice sounds like a man's

[1stclasswarior]

@renation89 This is her alright. This is her at her most amazing.

[morningmusumefan]

This song is amazing. No matter what you're fighting in the game, small or large, once this song starts playing, the fight just turned epic.

[thunderhogTH]

This song can be pretty damn silly if you decide to waste it to power up a super deadly Funbun...

[Kumori001]

@ludosfaverus Seriously? If you've played the game, and got to this point in the game, and used the technique, you should've known. O.o

[NeoPhyro]

I remembered someone commented about this hymnos: "No matter how fierce the battle is, when this song cut in it gives such an overwhelming presence!" SO true!

[MagiNosferatu]

@ TheLasr130 "Challenge Accepted." Just have to practice one part.

[granis1233]

haha 1mill + charge battle over no matter what ^^

[ludosfaverus]

I never knew that this song is fully sung in hymnos language until now o_O

[xirilia]

This is one special attack that the music for it absolutely never grows tiring. You look forward to it every single time.

[kanamekurangal]

Love this song!!! x3

[TheLasr130]

I dare someone to sing karaoke to THIS.

[nejixdragon]

@TheLasr130 challenge accepted and failed shortly after :(

[Ginobi666]

time to make a big hole in the ground

[jetbutut90]

Now, I'm hoping that Ar Tonelico worlds IS our future. Imagine that. I wonder how life will be....

[akito989]

@jetbutut90 Destruction. Lots of destruction.

..But fun. 8D Yeh, i still want it ne ways XD

[jetbutut90]

@akito989 we're going to need our Reyvateil, and some secret attack.

[akito989]

@jetbutut90 Yes, let our resistance team fight against the government! 8DDD 

[renation89]

@jetbutut90 then our world will be a musical one. lol

[MrHookerJay]

First time I heard this in the game ... it reminded me of the same passion and intensity Howard Blake and Queen delivered with the "Flash Gordon" soundtrack. If Freddie Mercury were alive today, he'd worship the ground Akiko walks on. Just an absolute killer track ... literally, of course ... =]

[RuyiVamp]

Very powerful

[Ginobi666]

Using Replekia + Phantasmagoria is like burning an entire mansion just to kill a flea

[rickicker]

Ahh, Replekia.

I usually only release it as a Super Hyper Overlimit Penultimate Fuck You Attack when the boss pisses me off too much. What's that, Raki? You wanna use a move that freezes my PS2 system? I'm sorry, but did you hear that Hymnos? Yup. You're fucked, bitch!

[dfs317]

@rickicker lol I thought ny ps2 was freezing when raki attacked is it really the attack?

[KingKamor2]

@dfs317 Yeah, there's a glitch in the US version of Ar Tonelico 2. When she uses that attack on the third turn, the game freezes. So you have to beat her before the third turn.

[4dr1c]

@KingKamor2 It's an attack so awesome that the PS2 just can't handle it, quite ultimate, no? ;)

[granis1233]

why have a giant cannon if you get one shot then win ^^

[Kuromimi505]

1:37

xA harr nAtLYInO hymmnos/.

Would be:

She strongly continues to sing, very angry at this world's pain.

Wow I am actually learning Pastalie complex emotion verbs. That's alot of emotion info for one line. Mah geek level is redlining.

[Existance0]

I don't understand I've heard this called "replekia" and "replakia" and I'm unsure which is the correct spelling.

[missdeona]

@Existance0 Both are. One's from the Japanese version and the other is from the English version.

[andretatontos]

i got goosebumps at 1:15 :D

[abundantloglc]

I'm still having so much trouble following along with the lyrics. e-e

That noise at the beginning of the song, where the screen (in this video) flashes, for some reason really sets the mood of the song.

Badass. Simply badass.

[Naltharial]

I think I managed to hit the final boss with Replekia + Phantasmagoria w/ Synchronicity for about 5 times their total HP. :)

[sanktkaiservia09]

consider yourself SPAMMED

[operationflux]

Akiko Shikata has performed some of the most hardcore songs of AT.

Chronicle Key, Harmonius, Replakia, Sublimation...what a voice.

Would love to hear her an Yuuko Ishibashi (Hybernation) on a duet. That must be some experience.

[Ginobi666]

Raki: hmmp! is this the best you can do? barely tickles me

Cloche: *sings Replekia*

Jakuri: *sings Phantasmagoria*

Raki: *pisses pants*

[poggg]

I always felt bad overriding other Hymnos with this, since you don't get to hear them nearly as often...but Replakia's just way too useful not to use.

...Maybe a little TOO useful. That thing murders all the challenge in the game about as efficiently as Orlandu does in Final Fantasy Tactics. And that's REALLY saying something.

[VictoryZetaMKII]

@poggg The best analogy for this song I've seen yet.

[poiyin]

I lov to hear Replakia

[Ginobi666]

Beautiful yet violent... Just like Cloche

[thunderhogTH]

Holy hell, this song still give me chills everytime i hear it, and even more so when i read out the lyrics!

[velcor]

gotta love the triplettes part.

[BeardyHobbs]

Need to find place to get this song. Was not on Sound Track with game... Many tears shed. Much unhappiness.

[GrandCrossX]

Good lord, my friend directed me to this song and game... never heard anything like this in an RPG before... and I've played a lot of them.

[kazuma88kiryu]

If any of u played xenogears which i am quite sure any RPG fan would. this song really fits the moment Fei turns to ID and weltall changing to true weltall....Pawning everything......

[SariaSchala]

I just played this at the same time as Rig Veda.

EPIC.

[NukerVideo]

of all the hymmnos songs i've heard so far, this is so far the most tongue-twisting, even among New Testament of Pastalie/Pastalian/I.P.D. Dialect Hymmnos songs

[Grzechu013]

Playing games isnt no life. Its like watching art, listening to music, watching movie and reading book in same time. Games are pure culture.

[Cixelated]

@Grzechu013

Innovator here: as much time there has been spent in front of a game (by the world as a whole), however, is just as much time it possibly could've been taken to make much of the fantasy of the games we play real. (i.e. singing things into reality, making our personas into things (Persona), space travel (Mass Effect).

Although, some say it's impossible to conceive; there's a lot of things that are like that, like concrete canvas....

[Knightofjapan]

I love this song

[nibelung34343]

this song makes me want to cast devestating spellls of darkness and despair

[Lord1of1all1elements]

this is the kind of song you brutally rip a monarch to shreds with.

while you look upon your newly gained empire, wondering what horrors you shal reak upon the people looking up to you as their new leader. they are assured you will bring them salvation, they are assured you will bring them peace. they are wrong. you shall reak horror across the land.

you will create slaves of them all, dominate all that stands in your way

you are a god

if anyone challenges you

they will perish in flame!

[Flamefurry72]

This song is the most brilliant piece of work to ever hit the world's media of music.

[ceselialarue]

My mom just went inside my room when she heard this and she thought I was doing witchcraft:3 And she felt creeped out with the song.

[Trazen4]

@TouyaHikaru21:

Actually,Frelia (She's just an Origin Reyvateil like Shurelia and Tyria/Tilia,NOT a Goddess) wasn't offended at all....

I'd say more,but I'd spoil the whole storyline of AT2 in doing so.

[VictoryZetaMKII]

@Trazen4 She might not have actually been a Goddess, but she was worshiped and viewed as one.

[omegaxeron]

The most epic song in all existence!! The first time I heard this song in Ar tonelico 2, I felt chills. The song is so intense and incredible! Greatest song in a video game, period!

[Fatality65]

Cloud and Squall disliked this.

[Kiwanja]

god this gives me goosebumps, it's that awesome.

[Vellauno]

For some reason every time I hear this song I think of the Hyrule Castle music

[animeotaku697]

I really need to finish Ar Tonelico II I am at the last boss battles. I haven't played since summer, but now i really want to.

[DwarvenGrudge]

This song always makes me catch my breath. In my opinion the greatest game song ever written.

[nikkun725]

I actually got a sudden rush of adrenaline while reading the lyrics... is it just me, or is this song making me crazy?

[TimDelta88]

@nikkun725 the song is supercharged with battle emotions......I also got a rush of adrenaline when i tried to sing along......now i'm tired after that......

[ZeranEmpire]

its a pity this game has no foursome option

*trundles off to fix that with fanfics*

[shionxallen]

ah Luca is so stupid.cloche is better

[Trazen4]

@shionxallen: Jaqcli/Mir beats all :D What other video game character dual-wields a pair of toy MAC-10s for one of here costumes "Because it turns me on"? Not to mention the conversation where she asks Croix if he likes big breasts,which made me laugh for a good five minutes. Also,for randomness reference here's the character ages of Croix and the girls: Croix:18. Luca:19. Lady Cloche:17. Jaqcli/Mir:382. Cocona:11.

[shionxallen]

@Trazen4 i do not know who i like better but it definatly isnt Luca. I think i might like cloche a little better but jacqli is funny so im not sure

[Firemaster7]

When you hear this song, you better start to surrender.

One of the best songs of all video games!

[Fatality65]

This song will play when Final Fantasy and Ar Tonelico battle to the death.

[shionxallen]

@Fatality65 ar tonelico is better big time

[HaseosAtoli]

@Fatality65 Awesome! And this song just might win! XD

[1stclasswarior]

@Fatality65 Result: Ar Tonelico wins!

[bestiedamo1]

is it me or does the start remind you of super mario final boss on one of the n64 games :O XD

[BlastCaliber]

Her song continues...

Her song continues...

Her song continues...

Her song continues...

HER SONG CONTINUES!

This has to be one of the best songs I EVER heard in a video game.

[nibelung34343]

this is my theme song when ever i enter aroom

[SilEntNiGHtPhanTom]

Simlish.. o.o

[Goldenkitten1]

@SilEntNiGHtPhanTom Actually though it sounds like nothing to most (some have actually bothered to learn it) this is honestly one of the most well thought out fictional languages ever. It has its own grammar, spelling, and overall syntax. So really it's the antithesis of Simlish which is just gibberish to stand-in for real dialogue, instead being an actual language.

(Note: Not being insulted, or trying to be insulting. Just pointing something out)

[amitabho123]

@Goldenkitten1

The actual grammar and syntax, with a lack of inflection and so on and so forth, are lax enough to brand it an analytical language- but the problem here is that it lacks fixed word order like Mandarin, so it can't even be called that. A simple sentence can be easily mistaken, and in that way Hymmnos is not a feasible language.

Den whai knawa Hymmnos? Forgandal envied mea en juellic meneg oz na wi lingua.

[VictoryZetaMKII]

@SilEntNiGHtPhanTom Not even close...

[TheBandkanon]

"Her chaotic singing is like thunder,

Her chaotic song shakes the town greatly."...

Ahhh, that bit has to be my FAVORITE of this song...

[Archimonde259]

@TheBandkanon Definitely. The change of voice at that point gives the song a twisted, evil tone.

[Kumori001]

Speaking of Raki, when you get to do the minigames with her, why does it glitch up like that? I mean, I save before I do it (THANK GOD!), but it pisses me off when it freezes up like that! Why does it do it?! T_T

[Divinehero1]

@Kumori001 dunno but if u have a codebreaker or action replay there's a code that will keep the glitch from occuring

[Silyamara]

@MrGillykins It sounds like Zektback, because Shikata sang a few times for Zektbach. ;D

[suiryuukishi]

@Silyamara

Though unlike Zektbach's songs, this was completely made by Shikata (excepting for the lyrics).

[LeonTheBest92]

Hell, this song alone is Awesome. Put you can hear all it's Epicness in a Boss Battle. I Try to keep my PM as higher as possible to listen to this song. xD

Epic.

Who the hell did sing this though? >.>"

[Skyrius]

Shikata Akiko, my official goddess of music <33 Her songs are amazing. Best part, all the chorus and voices are all her. Some of her songs have over 200 vocal tracks on them XD

[LeonTheBest92]

Woah. That's awesome. It should have been hard to sing it.

Thanks for the reply, though. :D

[Redtheundead]

Mmm, I love a good dose of rage every now and then.

[akito989]

I fail. I do not know how to activate Replekia... except for the Raki.... T.T Anyone teach me...?

[Jext77]

Hold up on the D pad to use attacks to build harmonics up. After harmonics is built up a couple levels in a few turns, a message will appear above the wavelengths saying "Replekia is ready" then press triangle to bring up the menu, go to Cloche and click the Replekia option to activate it, that's all.

[akito989]

D Pad...?

[Jext77]

Short for directional pad, you can use the analog stick too, either one.

[akito989]

Ooh... So, I just press it continuously or don't let go? Cuz there's one time, I used the... Cute Drive Song Magic while pressing UP continuously in a normal monster battle and it didn't come up...

Or does it have to be boss-only battle?

[Jext77]

No it doesn't, you can use it in any battle, normal or boss. I just hold up on the pad and that does it for Harmonics attacks. After a couple rounds of up attacks, the message should then appear that it's ready. Then just go into the menu with the Triangle button, over to Cloche and choose Replekia. It doesn't automatically activate when the message appears.

[MrLuckystarz]

I like this song but it is very scary 0.0

[MrLuckystarz]

Dude replekia makes me look around when ever i hear if cuz dude... that song is scary 0.0

[VegetaCrews]

i love this song its almost a song i would go on a rampage with lol

[antisga]

It doesn't matter how hard the boss is because as soon as you activate Replekia, you know who's gonna piss their pants. >3

[OldSkoolAngel]

Unless you get the Raki glitch and you forgot to save your game...

[VegetaCrews]

ya i hate that glitch the last time you fight raki i wanted to see her ex attack but thats where it dies and it happens even on a new game lol

[HaseosAtoli]

That glitch doesn't bother me as much as the other one... I had just finished Cloche's ending and was almost finished with Luca... the glitch caused my internal memory card on my PS3 to corrupt and I lost ALL of my save data... I love this game, and it's a good thing I do or I would have given up on it after losing all of that!

[VegetaCrews]

o that does suck

[Divinehero1]

if u have access to a codebreaker or an action replay there's a code that will fix the glitch

[haolihfaioefh]

@antisga Try telling that to the level 9 I.P.D. who destroyed me the other night. :( I got arrogant and paid for it! *sob* She was by herself as well! :(

[Weegee900000]

@haolihfaioefh Level 9 the hardest what do you expect

[shionxallen]

@antisga sometimes when i listen to this song at night i almost soil myself

[nejixdragon]

@antisga the alien's you accidentally hit with your positron lazer from teh sky?

[LaviStrikesBack]

Felt like a divine punishment of sum sort lol. And it increased my working speed 2x.

[MetafalicaShine]

mine too

[MetafalicaShine]

must...sing feelings of.... sorrow...

must sing fellings..... of hopelessness....

Must sing..........REPLEKIA!

[Arutima]

@MetafalicaShine

hopelessness for who? the poor monsters at the receving hand?

[AndresxPaladin70]

Si que buena traducion

[Crestlinger]

Thnaks for the trasnlation! Nice to make sense of this kill switch hehehehe.

[Kenjisan]

Very passionate song, and another favorite. Makes me feel like breaking things. Haha.

[granadoespadafan]

awesome song <3

btw, this hymmos thing, it can actually be learned?

[Schaurfshutze]

Yes,It is possible to learn Hymnos,there is even a wikia page about it.

[OldSkoolAngel]

I can sing it up until the halfway point when the syllables get really fast and insane... x_X

[vinh060612]

this is one of the most epic songs i have ever heard. Too bad AT3 come with PS3 though :((.

Well, Replekia is orginally used to gather everyone power (she intend to use the power for metafalica). However, Infel went berserk over Nenesa(or is it Nanase ?) dead and alter it a little >>> we got a beam cannon :D

[Indignation211]

Wow, the first half is pure rage, but the second half is like a song of unification- and the Replekia is both- a weapon that unifies the power of all the IPDs and uses it to obliterate... well... anything.

[NightfallGemini]

I've been wondering, when someone sings a hymn like this, where the heck do all the instruments and backup chorus come from? xD

[envy400]

When you're a Revyteil, you're a one one-girl performance in the MET. ^^

[envy400]

I wonder what song in Ar Tonelico 3 will match the epicness of Replekia! xD

[Loravyre]

I love the bit in the middle with the "Her song continues"... It isn't easy making just lyrics appearing epic, but that is really good.

[cobbil]

This song is so very epic, but breaks the game. Cloche annihilates enemies with it. I beat the final boss in one blast due to this awesome song.

[HayaHamaOtsu]

Phantasmogaria + Replekia = OMGWTF!@?!@#

[OldSkoolAngel]

Nothing says love like collateral damage... ;)

[catijusto69]

This hymmnos gives a whole different prespective of a battle even if it is a random fight or just a boring boss with too much HP x)

[piinkme]

OhMyGAWD! i havn't tried the game, but i HAVE been watching videos. XD i LOVE this song..soooo EPIC!

[hennaikimono]

This song (and the animation in the background) took over the battle with such force when activated that it got me re focused on the battle again. While I heard a lot of anger, the lyrics make it seem like there was more anger and I'm quite surpried to see the second half full of hope.

[Divinehero1]

rather interesting lyrics... esp w/ how it swap from a rather dark depressing tone to a more hopeful/cheerful tone about 1/2 way in.. if u think about it it kinda describles cloche to a t as she slowly goes form an uptight self centered person to a far more compassionate person

[ckhs16]

Wow. This song is absolutely amazing. I've tried to sing this, but have failed miserably every time lol. They have amazing voices...I wish they'd make a third Ar Tonelico game...From what I've heard, the 1st was good, and the 2nd, which I've played all the way through to get the ending in which you love Luca, is absolutely amazing.

[tantohalim]

I think there is a high chance they make ar tonelico 3

because, they said there are 3 towers

sol ciel, sol marta, and another one

[cobbil]

Especially after seeing the end of 2. With Cocona running off TO the third tower.

[tantohalim]

Ar Tonelico I takes place on Sol Ciel

Ar Tonelico II takes place on Meta Falas

Ar Tonelico III takes place on Sol Clusta

so cocona run to sol clusta

[exodiahunter87]

who is croix supposed to end up with? i'm really hoping it's jacqli AKA Mir. i just recently got her ending and boy,was i moved by it!

[tantohalim]

we cannot say it is with mir, cocona, misha or with cloche

same with ar tonelico 1, they don't want to spoil it

I prefer mir or cloche

[sylwyn]

Luca not Misha :D

[tantohalim]

ah yeah right, dang, messed up with ar tonelico one o_0

maybe croix will ended up with frelia lol..

[oblivionkey99]

Somehow I doubt it lol... but i like the idea of Croix and Mir. They are my favorite pairing in this one.

[4521585]

Can I know where is the website to download the Hymmnos font???

Someone please tell me!!!

I can read the hymmnos but can write it

[ZaMaBa]

You can download from 'hymmnoserver'.

[AndresxPaladin70]

jajaja lo que decian xD

[Positronology]

I love this song so much, though at first, having played the game with Replakia in-battle for so long, I didn't recognize it due to its beginning. XD

Incidentally, I notice you've been uploading a lot of Ar Tonelico II songs. I can't find Luca's second Cosmosphere song (not her first), and I'm not even sure what it's called. :( Any idea?

[suiryuukishi]

Dream Pattern ~ Shadow ~, and since it's not a hymn, I don't think that ZaMaBa will upload it.

[IrkenTrad]

I always found it so intriguing how well constructed the Hymmnos conlang was, yet for anyone who doesn't know better, it looks like someone kind of bashed their heads on a keyboard and whatever they managed to write down was decided to be lyrics.

Ingenious and beautiful (even the bizarre Pastalia).

[MyssTara]

Your comment made me giggle, in the bizarre way that I do. That, in turn, made my cat look at me funny.

[vcgfty]

i am really greatful about your translation it gave me an idea to make a poem

[damedatta]

would you upload the english ver. of sublimation 3 please

[rotinan]

ZaMaBa~ san please do despedia in english...please??

[GVNMadeInHeaven]

Upload the English lyrics of EXEC_SPHILLIA and Flame ~ Homura too. I'm looking for those two!

[ZaMaBa]

I consider your request. But I cannot promise positively to you. Sorry.

[4521585]

I have download the hymmnos.ttf from hymmnos server.

what shoul I do next? I don' t get it.

It can be opened but I can't use it to type hymmnos.

can the file installed ti microsoft word?

[ZaMaBa]

You must install a font on the control panel. It can use as alphabet font.

[PR1L1A]

Nice moon background, sooo match with the song section ^^

[RPGirl777]

I always love using replika during boss battles, I didn't know that she was singing this. Heh I love it even more now X3

[rhizero]

i really want this song.....

please anyone tell me where I can free download this song.......

hehehe thx.....

^^

[balasdair]

well, if you get Firefox and the Download Helper add-on, you can download the video. then (through a process that i don't understand and can't describe) you can take the song without the video (i think, but i'm not sure)

[GVNMadeInHeaven]

Google "OJOSoft Total Video Converter". It can convert .flv files into anything you want.

[GlassHeartPaperLocks]

This is a beautiful song. <3 It's filled with so much emotion. Thank you for uploading the lyrics! :D
