I think this is about J. Let's go over the imagery, first. Joshua's emlem, then the Foundation symbol, and then J's emblem. It's akin to how J started out as Joshua, became corrupted by Isaac/The Foundation Man once he entered the scene, and now he's as he is. Now, for the lyrics. While Remember was said to be about stagnation and fear (as said by Kota Hoshino), this version of Mechanized Memories is like J remembering who he used to be. "The storm was bad that day; Everyone was swept away and blown away" I think it's about Anatolia's death. "I just watched the devastation" Joshua was forced to watch as innocents died by his hand. "Ears ringing with terrible thunder" The battle between Anatolia's Mercenary and Joshua. "Even if I lose my body; These are mechanized memories" J is heavily implied to be a cyborg, and maybe even a Phantasma Being during Mission 10, someone who was digitized. Isaac and Maggy are Phantasma Beings, for example. "Even if it destroys all of me, I'm just a fantasy" J doesn't care about Isaac's genocide anymore. He broke free from the brainwashing, and now he just wants a fight where he can die quietly, surrounded by chaos, not even a mere footnote in history. J's life sucks.
"There is no place for me but the battlefield. To live as I please... and die a senseless death." Honestly, this version fits J perfectly. Since It is heavily implied that he was cloned from Joshua and only fought because it brought meaning to his existence, as he was tormented by his ''mechanized memories'' that didn't belong to him. In the end, the was just trying to make sense of the fantasy that was his meaningless life.
If I'm understanding the lyrics correctly, I like how this remix is on the line between the myth of the "Dark Ravens" and the hard reality of their lives, but instead of balancing, it tilts back and forth, unable to be both at once. I would guess that's because _we know._ We, the player and protagonist, know the truth of what it means to be the most dangerous mercenary alive. It's a hellish life, having the power to destroy everything we see, and knowing one day someone else is going to kill us and become the next Dark Raven, the next Nine Breaker, even if they don't want the title. It will be forced upon them, because legends will grow uncontrollably about how unstoppable they are, until they fall and something even *worse* takes their place. So, I guess we are a fantasy. Because nobody will accept the truth, until they become it.
I like that, while unnofficial, this is essentially the third remix of "Remember" from Armored Core For Answer. And I think that this is a remix that armored core fans all over the world would enjoy
The “now I’m scary” part gives me chills, absolutely phenomenal song, you’ve done it justice. I listen to this on repeat while working on my books, a number of which take huge inspiration from Armored Core. Thank you for keeping this song alive!
I really like your own lyrics to this song, just turns it into an actual fan arrangement with people's own interpretations, just like Touhou in that sense.
Thank you for everything! It's true that Touhou's secondary works are more numerous than others. It's good that everyone has their own interpretation of what they like. I'm learning a lot! And thank you for liking the lyrics! X)
Remember is one hell of song, every new remix I found, either official or fanmade always has something to give still being recognizable as remember, great job!
Thank you for your comment! :D "Remember" has a lot of mysterious charms. The unusual lyrics, the characteristic melody, and the scenes where the song was used left a big impression on me.
I don't mind that the lyrics are different, this feels like a sequel to Remember, and the call back to "Oh, I'm Scary!" made me smile like an idiot when I heard it. All sequels to themes need to do this.
I recently learned about Armored Core through getting the original version of mechanized memories recommended to me by UA-cam music.. But this sounds great..
I'm impressed by the original lyrics; they both blend with the originals while also conveying a more coherent and uplifting story that contrasts with the gritty nature of Armored Core.
Back at again with another amazing remix I love how you completely changed the lyrics and removed the "minute to the end and does it still hurt" part and yet it still some how made it feel like the orginal song. Very risky move.
To be honest, there was a part of me that was scared to adopt my own lyrics, even though this song has lyrics to begin with. Of course, most of the people who listen to this song know the original. However, because AC tends to be lacking in interpretation, and because I am one of the AC fans, I dared to create a song with my own interpretation. :) Also, as an excuse, I couldn't come up with the lyrics for the verse, so I had to reconstruct the whole song. XD

Hey, Usuda! I'm coming back here to say that I think it'd be really cool if you covered Armored Core 4's song 'Twist It'. I feel like your style would suit it really well.
I just realized that white glint's emblem is faintly similar to J's, there is three pointed curves on the bottom two on the top with the eye in the middle in white glint's emblem and on J's it's the two legs and the tail as the three bottom points and the head and the wings as the top, the middle of the emblem is also empty as well
You're right, they do look alike! You have such a great perspective! I've been wondering if we might have something in common, but you've opened my eyes to yet another interpretation! Thank you so much! :)

I think this is about J.
Let's go over the imagery, first.
Joshua's emlem, then the Foundation symbol, and then J's emblem.
It's akin to how J started out as Joshua, became corrupted by Isaac/The Foundation Man once he entered the scene, and now he's as he is.
Now, for the lyrics.
While Remember was said to be about stagnation and fear (as said by Kota Hoshino), this version of Mechanized Memories is like J remembering who he used to be.
"The storm was bad that day; Everyone was swept away and blown away"
I think it's about Anatolia's death.
"I just watched the devastation"
Joshua was forced to watch as innocents died by his hand.
"Ears ringing with terrible thunder"
The battle between Anatolia's Mercenary and Joshua.
"Even if I lose my body; These are mechanized memories"
J is heavily implied to be a cyborg, and maybe even a Phantasma Being during Mission 10, someone who was digitized. Isaac and Maggy are Phantasma Beings, for example.
"Even if it destroys all of me, I'm just a fantasy"
J doesn't care about Isaac's genocide anymore. He broke free from the brainwashing, and now he just wants a fight where he can die quietly, surrounded by chaos, not even a mere footnote in history.
J's life sucks.
兄弟達。聞こえていますか？私たちの故郷が帰ってきましたよ。また戦場で会いましょう。今度は同士として、敵として。
"There is no place for me but the battlefield. To live as I please... and die a senseless death."
Honestly, this version fits J perfectly. Since It is heavily implied that he was cloned from Joshua and only fought because it brought meaning to his existence, as he was tormented by his ''mechanized memories'' that didn't belong to him. In the end, the was just trying to make sense of the fantasy that was his meaningless life.
Fr Damn that's deep just knowing that he actually is a clone of Joshua O'Brien
so defeating him put poor Joshua back to rest with Anatolia's Merc and Fiona
If I'm understanding the lyrics correctly, I like how this remix is on the line between the myth of the "Dark Ravens" and the hard reality of their lives, but instead of balancing, it tilts back and forth, unable to be both at once.

So, I guess we are a fantasy. Because nobody will accept the truth, until they become it.

Mechanized Memories was always one of my favorite tracks in all of AC.
I'm so glad you like it! :)
AC's got some great songs, and I'm having a blast making remixes of different tracks!
I don't mind that the lyrics are different, this feels like a sequel to Remember, and the call back to "Oh, I'm Scary!" made me smile like an idiot when I heard it.
All sequels to themes need to do this.
This is literally one of the dream remixes I have ever wanted to hear and you put it out in a goddamn week.
You are an absolute fucking legend.
I, for one, am so happy that I posted two songs in one week and got so many comments and views on both of them!
I'll try harder from now on! XD ----b
I recently learned about Armored Core through getting the original version of mechanized memories recommended to me by UA-cam music.. But this sounds great..
For me as well but through SoundCloud!
I'm impressed by the original lyrics; they both blend with the originals while also conveying a more coherent and uplifting story that contrasts with the gritty nature of Armored Core.
Awesome stuff as always! Keeping the AC flame alive
Yes, the flame for AC must not be extinguished. Even if Fromsoftware puts an end to it, let's scatter the flames from a different place!!!
Oh no, I'm being reminded of all the depressing stuff in Armored Core, great cover and little mix you have here
めっちゃ格好いい
ありがとうございます！^_^ /
元自体が中々カッコいい曲なのと、その人気ゆえか、要望がかなりありましたので、とりあえず作ってみました笑 もし気に入って頂けましたら幸いです♪
All I have to say is this: "THE ARMORED CORE 6! THE ARMORED CORE 6 IS REAL!"
This is weirdly fits with armored core 6's story, especially with the ng++
overall theme of all AC game are decently similar after all and this is also a boss theme remix for 5 so it help
The transition into the original Mechanised Memories just gives me chills down my spine. Absolutely amazing work my friend!
I like the new lyrics for the remix! Gives it a new feeling.
