Shikata Akiko - 謳う丘 ～Exec_Harvestasya/.～

[KawaiiMangaArtist]

sounds simliar to the music in umineko

[tomonikachan]

@KawaiiMangaArtist It's the same artist, that's why ^_^

[miamouse54]

Must. Play. One. More. Time.

[Ironjagg]

i want all the albums. i only have 'Navigatoria' and all the songs are sooo beautiful ! i listen it from 7 in the morning :D

[ssramroop]

dam i love this song

[runimina]

One of my all time favorite artists <3 her songs are all so dramatic and melancholy and gorgeous in everyday. Songs from heaven!

[Krazytaco34]

This song is amazing :D I love her songs shes the best singer Ive herd yet :3

[Kunoichi1010]

I wish we could sing this for our choir, but we would never be able to achieve the fluidity and emotion..I love this song sooooo muchhhhhhh~~ Shikata Akiko has the voice of a goddess~

[akamaru3]

Just got into her cause of Umineko, crazy amazing

[Manamei4343]

なんという神秘的な曲･･････。

もっと世界に評価されるべき。

[Stormwake]

There are parts of it that remind me of Castle in the Sky a little, but it really is an amazing piece of music. I love it! <3

[animelovertaz1]

i love how she sings songs in different languages , sometimes in the same song :D beautiful , so powerful <3

[omegaxeron]

Incredible version of the first Ar tonelico opening. Actually, both are absolutely incredible!

[SeanAbesto]

@CrimsonFallenAngel Yeah I noticed XD Well, PM me if you want to keep talking, kk? : )

And I didn't know .__. I didn't even like Luca, but I'm somewhat glad that I AT LEAST got the Ar Tonelico magic xD Well, Phantasmagoria~ But yeah, Croix/Jakuri works really well, I agree : ) I just thought it was cute when Jakuri contacts Shurelia, and she's all worried about her and asks her to come back home quickly and safely xD <3 Mm, Jakuri/Spica is cute too xD So many couples~ XD

[SeanAbesto]

@CrimsonFallenAngel I didn't finish the Jakuri/Croix story line, unfortunately, only the [you guessed it] Croix/Luca ending =__= I stupidly made the mistake of clicking the X button too quick in her Cosmosphere level conversation, and couldn't go any deeper into Cloche and Jakuri =__=;; I'll rent the game and go through it with Jakuri instead, I SWEAR IT. But yes, they make an excellent couple : ) Their convo's made more sense too xD But Eolia/Jakuri are just... a perfect couple~ In my opinion~

[SeanAbesto]

@CrimsonFallenAngel ABSOLUTELY! She has depth and emotion, she has meaning and she really lives and stands out~ So much emotion too : D And yeah, Jakuri went through so much, and went through such an enormous change that Luca's problems can't even BEGIN to compare xDD Gah, Jacqli/Jakuri/Mir~ <333 Shurelia and Jacqli belong together, don't you think? Even though it's yuri-ish, they fit like puzzle pieces~ <3

[Hemmingfish]

Heh, i don't often hear 5/8 in a song with lyrics

[BeliMermer]

HOLY sht... This song goes crazy with time signatures.

Begins with standard 6/8, which is (3+3)/8,

then goes into 4/4 at 0:27,

then goes back into 6/8 at 0:35,

until it switches to (3+2)/8 at 2:22,

then morphs into 6/8 again at 2:41.

The crazy part beginning at 2:58 is in (2+4)/8, which is 6/8, but counted differently.

At 3:12 it goes back into standard 6/8, and remains so until the end.

Wow. If madam Shikata penned all that by herself, she really deserves a medal.

[SeanAbesto]

@CrimsonFallenAngel and agreed! EXEC_SPHILIA/. is beautiful. When I read the meaning to the lyrics, it was just so inspirational to see Jacqli communicate with the Heart of Gaea. We can see into Mir's true past and the feelings she had to live through, as well as her transformation into a new person, because she used those negative feelings to make a positive change using her song : ) I love Mir so much, one of the best Reyvateil's ever~ <3

[SeanAbesto]

@CrimsonFallenAngel I don't know... I just don't like her. She's a bit two-faced and deceitful. I think Cloche has such bigger problems then Luca, like she is an I.P.D. who was AGAINST I.P.D.'s, she had to remove her own ban on Dive Therapy, go against everything she ever believed in, she was removed from her mother [Reisha] at a young age and taken away, she had to become so many things at such a young age, and yet she's still strong. Luca is just petty ._.

[SeanAbesto]

@CrimsonFallenAngel Salaptor rings a bell, for some reason o__o And I haven't read any spoilers on AT III, so I wouldn't know about Saki xD

Guh, Luca was just so annoying... everytime she had a problem it was more irritating then normal ones ._. Her conflicts just felt so minimal and unimportant, compared to Cloche's or others. She came off as being bratty ><;; But anywho, my fav. was Jakuri too : D Her EXEC_SPHILIA/. is so beautiful~ <3 I love Mir ^^ <3 And oddly, Infel and Nenesha too~ <3

[SeanAbesto]

@CrimsonFallenAngel I see~ : D Hm, this Goddess is an awful one... Stealing Harvestasya's love like that. But it's kind of epic; instead of the male saving his maiden, it's the girl who ventures far and wide to confront the Goddess, the one who stole her lover from her. I like the twist : )

Ahh, I can't wait to play AT III... I finished AT II recently, and I absolutely hated Luca... but the hymns were exceptionally beautiful~ So far though, AT III's hymns are frightfully good o___o

[LazySnowKitsune1988]

i can't help but to hear the blissful voice of a goddess :)

[SeanAbesto]

@CrimsonFallenAngel I haven't listened to Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor yet... I want to though : ) Harmonics TILIA is such a beautiful song though, it's extremely moving and reminiscent of what's happening to our very own world. It'll be a hard song to beat, but I'm sure Ar=Dor Ar=Ciel has a deep meaning as well ^^

As for Afezeria Harvestasya, I began listening to it, but I don't like it that much... I know afezeria means 'to ressurect' I think, so maybe it's changing the maiden's story in some way...?

[SeanAbesto]

@CrimsonFallenAngel Ah, right, the legend of Rhaplanca~ Oh, a shrine maiden? That's cool~ It's strange, though, how Ar Tonelico III's tower is called 'Harvestasya'... Maybe it was named after the Shrine Maiden? Who knows : )

[otks0800]

@CrimsonFallenAngel I see,then.Sorry,I didn't knew.Thanks for the heads up!

[blairettaable]

i wonder is there any ar tonelico concert T.T

[abysswolf48]

why did you choose the name "Yggdrasil"?

[Yumistation]

i fucking love this song

[otks0800]

Wow,Ar tonelico really does recicles songs,isn't it? XDD It's so weird to listen to this it look just wrong.I know Ar tonelico's is the remix but I heard it first so this sounds messy XDD But really great song,I'm not saying it's bad at all.

[SeanAbesto]

@otks0800 No, Ar Tonelico's 'Uta Oka ~ Harmonics EORIA ~' [Singing/Expressive Hill ~ Harmonics EOLIA] is the original o__o This song, EXEC_HARVESTASYA/. borrows the melody from Harmonics EORIA. The song has a completely different meaning... I think this song is about Rhaplanca and Maoh, but I'm not sure, I didn't look into it .__.

[otks0800]

@SeanAbesto Ooooooohhhh...I see.Sorry,then.And thanks.But the beginning of this song is original or borrowed?Cuz I loved the beginning,and I played Ar Tonelico 2 and didn't heard any song with that part.

[SeanAbesto]

@otks0800 Like CrimsonFallenAngel said, this song is unrelated to AT 2. The beginning from 0:00 to 0:30 is borrowed from Singing Hill ~ Harmonics EOLIA [Uta Oka ~ Harmonics EORIA], but everything after is original : ) In Ar Tonelico 2, the beginning song is Singing Hill ~ Harmonics FRELIA, and it also has a 'remix' called Salavec Rhaplanca. Ar Tonelico 3's introduction song is Singing Hill ~ Harmonics TILIA and it's 'remix' is EXEC_Ar=Dor_Ar=Ciel/. I think...

[Vernvestiga]

This feels like goddesses sing it... Impressive.

[blairettaable]

uh~~~hymmnos~ <3

sigh...rhaplanca..

[Vandelesca70]

AAAAAH! This is great, I spent a year listening to the Ar Tonelico Soundtrack

[kaibutse]

@Vandelesca70 guess i found an ally XD

[Vandelesca70]

@Vandelesca70

And then there is the fact that this person's name is Yggdrasil which just makes them awesome. Either they play Tales of Symphonia (which is awesome) Or study Norse heathenism (Which is Awesome)

[Animeluvsme1]

this is a haunting yet beautiful song

[DrkRamzaNxt]

Ah~Akiko Shikata Godness~

[DarkRaven008912]

hmm? the song seems to stop for me at 1:07

[micary03]

quiero q alguien me diga cual es el verdadero nombre de esta cancion

[angelangelfairy]

I wonder if they'll do a remix of Singing Hills ~Harmonics Frelia~??? (lol is that the name of the Ar Tonelico 2 opening song?)

[LykaoAlSardAlGenes]

It is, and it was done last year;

google SALAVEC RHAPLANCA, if you would.

[Serrival]

@angelangelfairy

They have, it's called Salavec Rhaplanca, and part of Ms. Shikata's Harmonia album. It's on youtube, and it's awesomely epic :D

However, the story is a tragedy, unlike Harvestasya's.

[angelangelfairy]

@Serrival

Oh.. But from what I saw in the translation of the song, they only says that Rhaplanca is being sacrificed but the demon's dead right? So what's the tragedy?

[Serrival]

@angelangelfairy

Rhaplanca is sacrificed by the villagers in their selfishness, and the boy in love with her (Maoh) tries to fight the villagers. But, Rhaplanca dies and Maoh is told to be holding her corpse, thinking that the only thing he needed in the world was Rhaplanca, but she died a bloody death. So, even though the village was "saved", Rhaplanca and Maoh suffered greatly.

The translation I read was much clearer on the ending than the one on Youtube.

[AttackChao]

@Serrival That's the story because Salavec Rhaplanca. This song isn't that one. There's this (which covers the story of a girl named Harvestasya) and then there's Salavec Rhaplanca (the Legend of Rhaplanca).

[Serrival]

@AttackChao

I know, I was talking about Salavec Rhaplanca xD It was a reply to another person.

[GoddessOfDarkness007]

i want this song

[Noiprox]

Well, they had to have recorded it somehow...

[crassiuswinson]

OMG Harvestasya was Jakuri's counterpart in tyria tower wasn't it? the wan cocona was gonna meet? So could this be like 3rd opening or something?

[suiryuukishi]

It's a remix of Harmonics EOLIA that was released before At2, so don't count on this being the opening to At3 (and try serching for the translation to the lyrics).

[crassiuswinson]

Yea well the opening is about to be release in the official webside...So in luv wif Finnel de!!!

[Squidprince]

Harvestasaya/Harvestasha is the name of the third tower, if the AT3 trailers are to be believed.

[SeanAbesto]

@Squidprince Uhm, I think the third tower is named Tilia/Tyria : / I mean, the Uta Oka song [each AT has one] for AT III is Harmonics TILIA, and so far, each Uta Oka song had their respective tower in the title.

[Squidprince]

Eolia and Frelia were goddesses. : ) As is Tilia.

[SeanAbesto]

Aha, I informed myself yesterday : D Now I know:

Eolia [Shurelia] is the Origin Reyvateil of tower Ar Tonelico.

Frelia is the Origin Reyvateil of tower Sol=Marta.

Tilia will be the Origin Reyvateil of tower Harvestasya. : DDD Figured it out XD

[AttackChao]

Congrats, you've learned how to execute EXEC_with.METHOD_GOOGLEFU/. XD

[SeanAbesto]

XDDDDDD

[sdfghiaqydhwjsgdhwkl]

I have ever listened to this music.

That is great.

[kowairyu]

[enternaldream]

[GirlintheWater]

[morpheus447]

by the way how come the length of your song is 5:27 while the one i got is 2:24 can you please tell me where to get it? i really want to use it on my suikoden amv T.T

[YggdrasiI]

The one you got is probably from the Ar tonelico intro, which is kind of a shorter version and a remix of this song.

[morpheus447]

oh ok, thank you very much for replying and giving me the link q:

[lukangel]

where can i download this?

[SeanAbesto]

@YggdrasiI Isn't THIS a remix of Singing Hill ~ Harmonics EORIA ~ ? EXEC_HARVESTASYA/. is Harmonics EORIA but with new lyrics and a new meaning, no?

[morpheus447]

i'm also using this song for my amv but whenever i import my music the lenght of the song always double up i tried cutting it from the part where the music ends but whenever i play some parts to see if the timing is correct but it always play different parts of the song does this happen to you too?

[MeguMeguhime]

wow! this song is really nice... where i can download this song?? ^^

[devilissobad]

well, if you heard of Limewire, you can download from there...

do you know what is Limewire?

[morpheus447]

yup i know what it is, its just that my cousin said that we shouldn't install one on ours cause sometimes some of those files might have some virus (something like that). my aunts computer has one so whenever i need to use limewire i just use her pc but its broken right now hahaha

[devilissobad]

[morpheus447]

[soranokyuubi18]

[devilissobad]

[oresika22]

They are Lyrics sad and nostalgic

[oresika22]

They are Lyrics sad and nostalgic

[ricky1423]

This song is wonderful...

[SenyaLoveLife]

Her music is divine.

[Suzuke15]

Is it possible she did all the music or all the songs on Ar Tonelico are her songs? If so, has someone used anything resembling Misha's Purger song? Please respond, I must know.

[Ithranna]

According to Wikipedia, she's not the only composer for the game...

[EdwardandBella4ever]

Wikipedia is a free site that anyone can put any information on. Much of the information on it are lies based on opinion, not fact. Take what is Wikipedia with a grain of salt.

[Kyoshiro973]

That's true, but he is right this time, she is not the only composer on this game, and not the only singer, she sings Misha's Hymn.

[kazumisierra]

i prefer suiren from shikata akiko..it's a very wonderful song

[terrypk1]

can anyone provide me with the lyrics? in japanese is GREAT

[EveLaurel]

とても悲しい歌ですね・・・

今宵の語りの　愛し巫子の魂が

貴方の胸にも　届きますように...

[sleepzuzuzu]

i love this song!

[alexisrage]

Ah. I indeed like her songs. I could never find the full extended versions. I only could find small demo size. Oh and also, this song closely resembles Harmonicas for Ar Tonelico Opening.

[YggdrasiI]

I can upload it for you, I'll write you a pm later.

[dokoru]

Do you know where I can find a full album download?

[DivineRonin]

any one know where i can download this song??
