Summer 2021 - Tuesday July 13th: I'll be streaming the entirety of Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia & Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafaliss on Twitch - so come on over and vote which waifu I go for and a bunch of other stuff!

if you want a fun challenge, use cheats to freeze EXP so you don't level up, and use weakest equipment. I got almost to the end, I believe game is beatable that way.
For those of you new and discovering this masterpiece, the ghost laugh you hear at 7:07 are the producers celebrating that they finally had their perfect take after hundreds of hours, and unfortunately had to leave it in.
Always wondered what that laugh was and if that's the real reason, man, I'm even happier it's there. It's such a pure laugh of joy after such hard work.
well i think it enhances the song, considering the meaning of it. laughter of hard work paying off, hoping for it to last forever as a new era is heralded in
Agreed. This song is also the one that best represents what the Ar tonelico series is about. I've personally made a tradition out of letting it play whenever a new year begins, as I thought it'd be great for it to signal the end of a year and the beginning of a new one.
It's a PS2 exclusive sadly. The main characters all use magic powered by singing. Made by GUST; mostly known for the Atelier games. That's about all you gotta know. Soundtrack is incredible. This is the Credit's theme. My personal favorite song is either EXEC_HARMONIUS or EXEC_LINCA from the first game at least, there's quite a few entries. They actually sing the credits theme in-universe.
What the first reply said! The in-game lore is fantastic! They even created a whole functioning language for the three games, which is Hymmnos! and even has its dialects! 😊 that, aside from the Surge Concerto ones (Surge Concerto is a couple of games which serve like a prelude to Ar Tonelico) There are playlists here on youtube that have a lot of Ar Tonelico 1, 2 & 3 songs and the Surge Concerto ones :D (SORRY IF I SEEM TOO EAGER AAAA
This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Even now, more than ten years after I first heard it, I still come back to listen. It fills me with peace and joy and love for the world.
This music shows what Ar Tonelico is... It's perfect, great history, great characters and great music, after hours playing it that's what you get, a great reward, more than a music, a masterpiece.
touche, i cried the 1st time i listened to this song. I was like 13 back then and i can barely understand any English text in the game but this song touched me on a whole new level of feelins
I love how there is a string trio playing starting from 1:19. The instruments are placed like the three reyvateils too. One on the right, one in the middle, one on the left.
I remember the first time I beat the game. I was so captivated by the song I didn't look away from the ending credits once. I was like a little girl in a show. My eyes were wide open and I had a smile on my face. It's my favorite Ar Tonelico I song and it has such beautiful lyrics... It's an amazing work of art
Amazing job with the switching, since the transition between the three vocalist is what I love the best, you highlighting each when they sing is just pure excitement for me. :)) This song will never get old to me. Though I love Metafalica, I thing Phantasmagoria lash out Mitose Noriko's singing prowess to the max. :D
Noriko Mitose is really an All purpose singer. In this song she through Shurelia made me shiver with excitement and gratitude but in exec Xaaaaaci AT 3 song she made shiver in fear and repentance........ Power of hymmnos.
This is my favorite song of Ar Tonelico, so reading the translation after so much time knowing about it, just made me cry... Thank you really much for your hard work. (:
Songs may come and go from our life, but some others touch our soul and are meant to stay with us forever. Both Phantasmagoria and Chronicle Key are the songs that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
I can’t believe this video still exists. And its been 13 years. Immediately burst into tears when I heard this, i can feel all of beautiful memories, joy, smiles and excitement as a 15 year old girl that likes to play RPG game with her sister. Thank you Ar Tonelico for giving me, my sister, and all of us fans beautiful memories that i will treasure forever ❤️🥲
when this song plays for the first time, I suddenly understand that this is the ending (and yet I still wish to have "continue" option after save file is prompted (just like the previous chapters "save prompt" appeared)) the song gave me a "glad" kind of feel that everything is going to be better for them... happy... and also sad... T.T
***** Have you played Ar Nosurge yet? You might get a surprise.... ;) Probably my fav song in the entire series this- I adore the way the 3 singers work together, as well as the strings at 1:18 moving in a kind of 3-part answer/question phase.
***** Totally with you on that- the entire series left it's mark on me, in a good way. No coincidence that my 2 fav gals, Shurelia and Mir (or Jacqli, if you prefer) are from AT1 either! lol I actually played AT2 first though, so I'd say that's overall my fav of the bunch- by a tiny bit.
***** lol, yeah first time was definetly the charm for me. I'd give anything for another AT like these ones- classic 2d sprites and similar musical direction to the first 2.
at first I bought and play Ar Tonelico because the art style is similar to Atelier Iris 2 (which I love to bits) but then was mesmerized with the musical pieces. Atelier already has amazing songs but the hymnos in ar tonelico blew me away
Thanks so much for helping me appreciate this song. Although typical people can't understand hymmnos, it's a shame that english players can't understand the japanese parts of the songs. Maybe putting subtitles in the game wouldn't have worked, but looking at these video's inbetween playing the games really do improve it.
im writting this in the first hours of the last day of year 2012 and after so many years this song is just Amazing. i Just Love this song, thanks for your video
@ArmyAntAdam yup...especially the inuendo...and that shonen school romance theme. And that epic power charge during battle...and the inuendo as well...
Now that I've heard almost all of Akiko Shikata's music, I tried to distinguish her voice here when they were singing together. It wasn't easy, all I could get was "Akiko's is the highest voice."
I gotta say........When i have to run around talking to get this song...i was pretty upset....and i was thinking:" Come on it just a freaking ending song...at least let me hear it an easy way".....but when they start singing...i dropped my controller.......i was speechless.......That moment i thought : " This is THE BEST SONG I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!!" ....then for some weird reason tears starting to run down on my cheek......
I agree. I mean, it took 3 really good singers to do a very recent cover of this to match, or more so, capture the same essence from the original. But they made amazing!
@@maestromeister6971even so, much of the emotional singing in shurelia, or misha's nasalised voice was lost. I loved the cover, definitely, but this version is still the best
Although it has nothing of creepy considering that's the father of the series, as well as composer and arranger of this particular song, laughing in relief for the song coming out successfully.
Nice Translation !!! This is the Ar Tonelico Language!! WHAT THE!!!! DID YOU COME FROM PLATINA!!!!!! WHAT DIMENSION DID YOU ACTIVATE I WANT TO GO THERE MEN!!!
Yeah. It's unfortunate that the only recordings of her live performances we have are the ones for the HATS Fest and the Laylania Black & White concerts. I'd have liked to get at least a glimpse of her Harmonia and Pantalea lives.
Alex Pedersen mecha anime that came out last year. storyline a bit suck, but voice actor lined up pretty good and ost composed by shikata, so i'm following it. just for the song.
hi found this excellent video myraslokov video not figured it out leave me yours again struck by the truth I think is your best work greetings and thanks for everything ..............

Didn't know this lmao 🤣
That's really blessed actually
well i think it enhances the song, considering the meaning of it. laughter of hard work paying off, hoping for it to last forever as a new era is heralded in
I'll never forget how hard I cried when this song started up, it felt like such a perfect ending song to an amazing video game.
great song
If I heard this during the ending of a game I'd bawl my eyes out too, for sure.
It was perfect. An original song born from the wishes of eternal peace of everybody in the tower. ❤
Agreed. This song is also the one that best represents what the Ar tonelico series is about. I've personally made a tradition out of letting it play whenever a new year begins, as I thought it'd be great for it to signal the end of a year and the beginning of a new one.
I do that with Ec_Tisia.
i came from a nijien cover so i don't know any context about this game, but this is really an amazing song nonetheless
It's a PS2 exclusive sadly. The main characters all use magic powered by singing. Made by GUST; mostly known for the Atelier games. That's about all you gotta know. Soundtrack is incredible. This is the Credit's theme.
My personal favorite song is either EXEC_HARMONIUS or EXEC_LINCA from the first game at least, there's quite a few entries. They actually sing the credits theme in-universe.
@@freelia4209 ahh i see, thank you for taking the time to explain!
@@cxlev01 This is a hidden gem of rpg, so ar tonelico fans couldn't believe that Nijisanji would actually cover this song.
minors(derogatory)

This is peak videogame OST
Since the Atelier series are very popular I really hope one day they will make a new Ar Tonelico or new Mana Khemia game. These were masterpieces
still waiting
Forever waiting... 💀
Exactly, their universe setting is just too good to be neglected. And the hymnos language is also beautiful.
True true. Those were the good stuff.
Man I didn't realize almost 15 years had passed since then
At the very least a PC port (that isn't region locked) with a potentially new translation...
This music shows what Ar Tonelico is... It's perfect, great history, great characters and great music, after hours playing it that's what you get, a great reward, more than a music, a masterpiece.
This song is beautiful. I love the synchronization between 3 singers, not often I heard that level to compatibility.
11 years and still love this song..
touche, i cried the 1st time i listened to this song.
I was like 13 back then and i can barely understand any English text in the game but this song touched me on a whole new level of feelins
Ar Tonelico is absolutely an astonishing video game, there will be a place for it in the history of video game.
I can't believe i lived without this for so long...
I love how there is a string trio playing starting from 1:19. The instruments are placed like the three reyvateils too. One on the right, one in the middle, one on the left.
Oh wow you're really perceptive!
I remember the first time I beat the game. I was so captivated by the song I didn't look away from the ending credits once. I was like a little girl in a show. My eyes were wide open and I had a smile on my face. It's my favorite Ar Tonelico I song and it has such beautiful lyrics... It's an amazing work of art
this is masterpiece, sad there are only few of us knowing this song. . . .
is under rated just becaouse is from a game, but this song is truly beautiful, lyrics full of hope, angelic voices and heartful melody
Misha's voice would be the only I won't forget. Also, Lyner is still a doofus 😂
im glad i found this on osu, this is a great song, really makes me want to play the games
I love Ar Tonelico
Agreed! I super miss my good ol' PS2 era. I'm old as crap! (33 yrs. old)
This is just Perfect... my Childhood was playing ar tonelico, Mana khemia, Atelier iris, and many other RPG'S like this... i just love it
can i shake your hand? :v
are you be any chance were born in 1996 or before that?
This is the real rpg
Because it was form the age of art. Not the age of captialism.
They don't make RPGs like these anymore
Bruh, you don't know how happy I was when I stumbled across this *gem* 👀✨🎶
八年前，我因為聽這一首生命同歡、極樂高潮的歌後，身心發生特殊變化，一種喜悅充滿心中、能量振動在身上，最後居然用念力操控了鏡子和煙，非常不可思議
她們歌詞中的愛、祝福、奇蹟真的發生在我身上
感謝Ar Tonelico
出会う運命だったのさ。
This song is so beautiful it gives me such goosebumps that are nearly painful! Wow
Это лучшая песня, которую я когда было слышал!!!
Check Maria Marionette's cover of this song, you will not regret it
YES
This music is beyond art. It is too amazing. What kind of mind can think of this?
Amazing job with the switching, since the transition between the three vocalist is what I love the best, you highlighting each when they sing is just pure excitement for me. :)) This song will never get old to me. Though I love Metafalica, I thing Phantasmagoria lash out Mitose Noriko's singing prowess to the max. :D
Oh wow I didn't expect to discover you here 🤣
Thank you for doing one of these multipart things for this song. It very much deserves it...
This is the most beautiful song in existence.
1:56 This is how enemies know that they're getting fcked up upon hearing this song in Ar tonelico 2
This song made my childhood unforgettable
I was like "REPLEKIA SYNCHRONITY CHANGE BITCH!!!!!"
Noriko Mitose is really an All purpose singer. In this song she through Shurelia made me shiver with excitement and gratitude but in exec Xaaaaaci AT 3 song she made shiver in fear and repentance........ Power of hymmnos.
And then, Ar Tonelico fires a huge laser that causes a giant explosion which then rains Judgement Beams down at everyone. Thank you, Mir!^^
@@syaondri me: Oiiiii Jakuri, can't you use any other songs to attack!?
Jakuri: *deal with it glasses*
This is my favorite song of Ar Tonelico, so reading the translation after so much time knowing about it, just made me cry... Thank you really much for your hard work. (:
In my opinion, when Shurelia and Misha hit those high notes, that's to die for....soo irresistible
Songs may come and go from our life, but some others touch our soul and are meant to stay with us forever.
Both Phantasmagoria and Chronicle Key are the songs that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

*stalks*

Nah, I'm not on tumblr, or twitter or facebook or anything like that- mainly just lurking around youtube lol
It's been years since I played any of the Ar Tonelico games. The musics in the Ar Tonelico games are always hauntingly beautiful...
at first I bought and play Ar Tonelico because the art style is similar to Atelier Iris 2 (which I love to bits) but then was mesmerized with the musical pieces. Atelier already has amazing songs but the hymnos in ar tonelico blew me away
Thanks so much for helping me appreciate this song. Although typical people can't understand hymmnos, it's a shame that english players can't understand the japanese parts of the songs. Maybe putting subtitles in the game wouldn't have worked, but looking at these video's inbetween playing the games really do improve it.
this song is really beautiful 😭
im writting this in the first hours of the last day of year 2012 and after so many years this song is just Amazing. i Just Love this song, thanks for your video
Best song in the whole Ar tonelico series. It wasn't the end, it was the beginning.
big love
I will never understand why popular songs are commonly shit, but unpopular songs like this are damn epic.
Basically old songs are way better then today's.
damn RIGHT!
Marzik Gaming LOL, i egree with u dude
Blinded by money...not art and beauty
popular songs are being pushed around like a marketing ad, hence good songs are piled up somewhere you can barely notice em.
This is just...beautiful. If only everyone in the world heard this song, it would be a much better place.
These three singers really NAILED IT! This is soooo wonderful!!!
My childhood so amazing with this song.. simply beautiful.
It's been eight years, and I suddenly remembered ar tonelico 2
I hope one day they make a live concert ... jut a simple dream of mine
There has been at least one concert performance each of the music from all five games in the series.
I doubt it honestly
:/ It's dead, let it rest my friend...
THIS IS THE PROVE THAT GRAPHIC IS NOT THE NUMBER 1 FOR GAMER!!!
@ArmyAntAdam yup...especially the inuendo...and that shonen school romance theme. And that epic power charge during battle...and the inuendo as well...
i see another victim fallen to hololive
Now that I've heard almost all of Akiko Shikata's music, I tried to distinguish her voice here when they were singing together. It wasn't easy, all I could get was "Akiko's is the highest voice."
even until this year. always love this game.
I hope the Exa_Pico series continue for a long time ^^
one of the reasons why i loved ar tonelico so much ! the story and music is jus awesome XD
偶爾回來聽神曲
经典神曲+1
i cant hold it i want to cry now 😢
one of the best Ar Tonelico songs... gosh.. i miss this so much T u T
I gotta say........When i have to run around talking to get this song...i was pretty upset....and i was thinking:" Come on it just a freaking ending song...at least let me hear it an easy way".....but when they start singing...i dropped my controller.......i was speechless.......That moment i thought : " This is THE BEST SONG I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!!" ....then for some weird reason tears starting to run down on my cheek......
God damn, when Mitose hits that note at 6:19.. blows my mind every time.
LA LA LA LA LA LA
Ahhhh.... After years of searching, I have finally found it- musical perfection. :) Now I may rest in peace....
I need to play this game again.
Damn it.
The memories are hitting me like a truck.
Beautiful I can never stop listening to this The Characters in this game are really great
Song Magic.
Doesn't matter if it wont summon fire balls.. it will touch the heart.
are you kidding me ? omg !! wow ! such memory such wow omg i cant stop cry in a river..
This song activates my tear ducts i don't know why.
They don’t make games like this anymore. I bought this when it came out when I was like maybe 13/14. Memories.
Sorry, but I "LOLED" at the "La La La La La" part XDDDDD
-cough- Good job in doing this =3
Un hermoso juego con bellas canciones.
Solo algunos hemos tenido el privilegio de encontrar esta joya y terminar la trinidad ,las tres torres.
I have looked for this... thanks a lot
This must be one of the hardest song ever created
I agree. I mean, it took 3 really good singers to do a very recent cover of this to match, or more so, capture the same essence from the original. But they made amazing!
@@maestromeister6971 Ah you're talking about nijisanji cover, right? I see you're man of culture as well.
@@maestromeister6971even so, much of the emotional singing in shurelia, or misha's nasalised voice was lost. I loved the cover, definitely, but this version is still the best
I wonder who dislike this epic song
This is one of my favourite songs from ar tonelico .
Koei Tecmo/Gust need to pause with their Atelier games and give Ar Tonelico some chances too,.please..
truly lovely.
It's the series creator and main creator of this song laughing during the end of the recording. I don't see how that's creepy.
I'm just not big on showing emotion, so you can imagine that it frustrates me sometimes that my mom finds me teary-eyed over a song. You know? ^^;
who is still here 2024??
this.... AR TONELICO FTW
Listened for this song for 6 years at least, still loving it :)
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
i feel you bro...finished this game around 4 to 5 years ago...definitely the best song in the game...chronicle key is good too...
@calebXcouture You can probably find it online somewhere. The CD is called Ar tonelico Hymmnos concert Side Red (has a red cover with Aurica on it)
amazing song 💓
I can't believe it... 2021 still hear and enjoy like myself 10 years ago.
How beautiful the lyric is. What is world becoming in the recent years? FULL of Hatreds, racism, supremacism, separatism.....Its just hopeless
A beautiful song indeed.
Yeah.
I feel bad.
I thought we were supposed to love each other.
And that has happening since ancient times.
Please don't lose hope. As long as you nurture love in your heart, nothing is ever hopeless.
@@SariaSchala true
*This is a cruel world. And yet...so beautiful...* - Mikasa Ackerman
this song kicks so much ass in ar tonelico 2! strongest song in the game for sure
Few masterpieces that aren't exactly well known. It still haunts me though
Nice Translation !!!
Although it has nothing of creepy considering that's the father of the series, as well as composer and arranger of this particular song, laughing in relief for the song coming out successfully.
Got the chills. I am learning this language.
Nice Translation !!! This is the Ar Tonelico Language!! WHAT THE!!!! DID YOU COME FROM PLATINA!!!!!! WHAT DIMENSION DID YOU ACTIVATE I WANT TO GO THERE MEN!!!
This> Let It Go.
I was saying this is Better than Let It Go
Homura Hino you made me laug, i hope it was sarcasm, remember what the symbol ">" means...
uraharaYorrch he didnt see ">" as a math symbol, he saw it as an arrow
oooh, that explains everything
I really would love to see the singers sing this together live.
Maybe someday we'll see them holding a live concert for the series again like it was done back in 2006.
That would be awesome! I especially want to see more of Akiko Shikata, since there are so few videos of her live performances.
Yeah. It's unfortunate that the only recordings of her live performances we have are the ones for the HATS Fest and the Laylania Black & White concerts. I'd have liked to get at least a glimpse of her Harmonia and Pantalea lives.
Nosurge is on psn store
And what does it have to do with what we're talking about?
Best song on Ar tonelico - melody of elemia.
Best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!
~The three most beautiful reyvateils in the world
i really like this song :) it's so beautiful
JUST found this playlist... why has it taken me so long? Anywho~ This song really reminds me of one song in Cross Ange... well some parts at least xD
Alexander T. Cross what..
Alexander T. cross ange ost is mainly composed by akiko shikata, who composed majority of hymmnos in ar tonelico..,, so yeah... ofc
Meilisa T What is Cross Ange xd
Alex Pedersen mecha anime that came out last year. storyline a bit suck, but voice actor lined up pretty good and ost composed by shikata, so i'm following it. just for the song.
X Ange is pretty good.... if you ignored its nude fanservice hahaha
Amaaaazing.
hi found this excellent video myraslokov video not figured it out leave me yours again struck by the truth I think is your best work greetings and thanks for everything ..............
SHURELIA FOR THE WIN!!!
@dmcd93 Yes, that is their Cross edge artwork. I personally love their Cross Edge look more than their AT1 look to be honest (Especially Misha's :3)
