こんにちは、土屋です。
先週発売された「謳う丘～Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor～」、皆様は入手されましたでしょう か？個人的にも相当お気に入りで、久し振りにヘビロテが止まりません。同時開 催のWEB企画「皆の想いでアルシエルを復活させよう」にも、沢山の方のご参加、 本当にありがとうございました。当初、２週間程度で達成するくらいののんびり企画だったのですが、初日で既に１／３を越え、関係内外の人達からは「３日で 終わる！どうしよう！！」と騒ぎになっていたほどです。実際にはきっかり１週 間で達成しまして、皆様の関心の高さにビックリしています。こういった、皆さんと一緒に何かを創っていくような企画というのは楽しいですよね。また機会が あればやりたいと思っております。
さて、今回の編纂室でも９割程度の質問に回答させていただきました。また次回 以降の投稿も受け付けておりますので、ふるってご参加ください！	
Hello everyone, I'm Tsuchiya.
Have you all already gotten [Singing Hill ~Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor~], which was released last week? Personally, I've liked it a lot, and haven't stopped playing it back over and over since some time ago. At the same time, I'd like to thank the large amount of people that participated in our sponsored Web project [Let's Revive Ar Ciel with the Feelings of Everyone!]. At first, I thought it'd be a laid back project that would take around two weeks to reach a number worthy of a milestone, but on the first day alone we had already crossed 1/3 of the maximum threshold, and there was even an uproar from our internal staff, who were saying "They'll finish this up in three days! What should we do!?" Actually, the project reached its conclusion in just one week, so I was very surprised to see how interested you all were in it. I'll be looking forward to making some other project like this with you all at some other time. If I ever get another chance, I'll seriously do my best for it.
Well then, this time I replied to roughly 90% of the questions I received. I'll continue receiving your submissions next time too, so please make sure to participate!
毎回毎回、解答ご苦労様です。
コスモスフィア関連で質問があります。
　
①Lv9まで到達するカップルは何組中一組くらいの割合なんでしょうか？
②そこまで行けなかったカップルは、主に何が原因なんでしょう？
　・ダイブする側が深層に恐れをなした
　・トークマターがいつまでも足りないのか、深層に行けない
くらいしか思いつきませんが、どっちの方が多いのか、あるいは何か他に理由が出てくる事もあるのか……
③唯一無二のパートナー以外、例えば単なる友達とか、行きずりの相手とか、
そういうレーヴァテイルにどこまで潜れるかは、ダイブに向いているか否かで変
わってくるものなんでしょうか？
作中でダイブに向いていないと言われたクロアがLv5、他二人がLv9と8ですのでちょっと気になって……
まあ主人公ズに関してはぶっちゃけ話の都合やらもあったんだと思いますが、それは置いといて一般論
としてどうなんでしょう。
(にょぉぉぉぉっ！)	
As always, thanks a lot for the answers to our questions.
This time, I have some questions about the Cosmospheres.
1) What is roughly the ratio of couples that have managed to reach Lv. 9?
2) Which was the main cause for couples that weren't able to reach it?
- The Diver became afraid of going into the deeper levels.
- He or her couldn't collect enough Talk Topics and thus could never access them.
I couldn't come up with anything else, but I wonder if any of these two are the main cause, and if there are any reasons for not being able to reach that level...
3) If anyone aside from their one and only partner, such as for example, a friend or casual companion managed to get the Reyvateil to Dive with them, how deep would they be allowed to Dive, and would it change depending on if they are suitable for Dive or not?
I wonder about this because, in the games, Croix was said to not be suitable for Diving and thus could only get to Lv. 5, while the other two main characters could even reach levels 8 and 9... 
Well, I think that regardless of being a main character or not, anyone would be able to do so by being frank and open, yet I wonder how they would stack against the prevailing view of the Dives.
(Nyooo!)
	
１ですが、Lv9まで到達するカップルは、その時期の英雄になれる程希です。ですから、例えばソルシエール全体で数名と言ったところでしょう。
２ですが、そもそも結婚前提でもなく、生涯を相手に捧げる気もないパートナー同士は、潜在意識的にレベル５を越えさせる事はありません。それは無意識的に「レベル５程度で終わりのシナリオ」を作る為です。実際はもっと流動的で、必ずしもレベル５固定ではなく、レベル２～７くらいまでの間でシームレスに限界線は存在します。原因ですが、そもそも世界観内的回答をするならば「トークマター」というもの自体が存在しませんので、トークマター原因でもありませんし、ダイブする側が恐れを成して到達できない、というのも中には存在するかもしれませんが、確定要素ではありません。大きな理由は先にも述べた、「必然的な潜在意識のシナリオ」によるものであり、それは顕在意識（恐れなど）が決める物ではありません。そもそも「ダイブレベル」というのは、ダイブ屋がダイブ中に監視するFFTの中で、特に揺らぎが大きかったりエネルギーが高い部分（周波数帯）を指して、それにランクを定義して言っているだけの「定義値」であり、科学的数値ではありません。ですから、そのレーヴァテイルの中でレベル５相当で終わりならそこで終わり、たまたまエンディングを迎えた最終的な周波数がレベル５相当だった、というただそれだけなのです。
３ですが、もちろん特に前半（レベル４くらいまで）においては、ベテランダイバーのような人は存在します。これは「人の心を開くコツ」を勉強した人です。ただ、レベル４以上ともなるとそんな子供だましでは潜れなくなりますので、最終的には「本気のぶつかり合い」が必至です。そんな理由から１つだけ向いている、向いていないを挙げるとすれば「誰に対しても心を開けないダイバー」「真剣に取り組めないダイバー」は、深層まで潜る事は出来ません。それは、そういった感情（恐れや怠け）をレーヴァテイルの潜在意識が敏感に受け取り、レベル４や５で終わるシナリオを組んでしまう為です。
ライナー、クロア、アオトそれぞれの到達レベルに差異があるのは、完全にゲームシステムバランスだけの理由であると正直に言わせてください。	
1) The couples that reach Lv. 9 are rare enough to be considered heroes of their current time period. Therefore, only a few people from the general populous, for example, from Sol Ciel, can say they have reached it.
2) Originally, it wasn't done on the premise of marriage, but on the fact that if both partners aren't committed to devote their entire lives to each other, they won't be allowed to subconsciously go beyond Lv. 5. That was because subconsciously, they decided that [the scenario of the Soulspace was created to end around Lv. 5]. However, that isn't necessarily true, as the limit isn't actually fixed on that level, and the Diver could even go seamlessly from levels 2 to 7 before hitting the limit line. As for the reasons behind not being able to reach that level, remember that from a setting standpoint, things such as [Talk Topics] don't exist and therefore can't be a possible cause. As for becoming afraid of Diving and not reaching these levels, while it could be a possible factor, it isn't a definitive one either. The greatest reason for this is as follows: [due to the inevitability of the subconscious scenarios], as this is something over which the conscious self (including fears and such emotions) can't absolutely take any decisions. To begin with, what we call [Dive Levels] are no more than the consequence of Dive Shops looking at the FFT Spectrum they are supervising in the middle of a Dive, pointing at the highest parts (frequency bands) that have specially large fluctuations of energy inside them, and defining them by ranks according to their so-called [Ranking Values], which aren't grounded on science at all. Therefore, this means that if the zone equivalent to the Lv. 5 inside that Reyvateil ends, that's where that level will end, although occasionally they'll finally reach the frequency band equivalent to Lv. 5 only after reaching the end of the level.
3) Of course there are veteran Divers, especially in the first half of the Cosmospheres (up to Lv. 4). They are the people who studied on [tricks to open the hearts of the people]. Still, given that if they reached any point beyond Lv. 4 or tricked others they wouldn't be able to Dive any further, in the end it is inevitable [for their emotions to honestly clash with those of the Reyvateil]. It's because of this sole reason that this happens. If we talk about who's suitable and who isn't for Diving, [Divers that don't open their heart to anyone] and [Divers that don't honestly deal with the feelings of the Reyvateil] are unable to continue progressing to the deepest levels. That is because these emotions (fear and laziness) are perceived by the subconscious sensibility of the Reyvateil, which is why their scenarios end around levels 4 or 5.
As for why the final levels which Lyner, Croix and Aoto could reach differ between each of them, honestly that's completely because of how the game systems were structured.
「謳う丘～Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor～」の冊子の系譜を見て思ったのですが、ラプランカは半神ではないのですか？
(しろとど)	
I just thought this up while I was looking at the genealogy table from the [Singing Hill ~Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor~] booklet, but isn't Rhaplanca supposed to be a demi-goddess?
(White Sea-Lion)
	
	
ラプランカは半神ではありません。メタ・ファルス特有の聖女の名前です。そういう意味では、この「神」が顕在する世界において、メタ・ファルスはわざわざ「人でも神でもない空想の聖女」を創りあげてしまう事に、他の地域にはない特殊性を感じ取っていただければと思います。要は「神ですら人を裏切る、完全なる白ではない」と思っているということです。ある意味完全無欠で崩れる事のない偶像崇拝的な文化なのです。そういう意味では、最も現実の地球の宗教と近い文化であるとも言えます。俗な言い方をすれば二次元的であるとも言えます。メタ・ファルスが一番萌えキャラが流行る土壌かもしれません。	
Rhaplanca isn't a demi-goddess. That is actually the name of a saint unique to the region of Metafalss. This means that in this world where [Gods] have been proven to exist, Metafalss expressly made up [an imaginary saint who isn't either a God or a human], which could be perceived as a special characteristic that doesn't exist in any of the other regions. In short, we can end up thinking that [even Gods aren't completely pure and can betray humans too]. This also means that they were worshiping an ideal, flawless and incorruptible figure in her, and because of that, in the end they can be compared to the religions that exist in our real world Earth. In layman's terms, we could say she was quite a two-dimensional character, but she was still the most popular character that the Metafalssians ever conceived.
謳う丘～Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor～の設定料読んで疑問に思ったので質問させていただきます。
1.宇宙まで届く塔を建造する技術力があるのに惑星の探索や地域間交流はあまりしていなかったのでしょうか？
2.位置的に見てテル族の聖地はもしかして７つの血痕事件で消し飛んじゃいました？
(あっきー)	
Upon reading the Singing Hill ~Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor~ booklet, I came up with a few questions I wished to ask.
1) Since the people of Ar Ciel had the technological power to make Towers that extended all the way up to space, didn't they have enough of it to search for other planets or make each region interact with each other in a positive way?
2) From looking at its position on the map, was the Teru holy land destroyed by the Seven Bloodstains Incident?
(Evil Spirit)
	
	
１ですが、宇宙まで届く塔を建造する時代には、完全国際社会を確立していました。現在の地球の歴史において今から２００年前である１８００年代にはまだ全地球を網羅し、地球上の行けない場所、道の場所が無い状態にはほど遠かったわけです。それに比べてソルシエールとソルクラスタが出逢ったのが２０２２年であり、３０４０年のグラスノインフェリアまでに１０００年以上の期間があります。最後にメタファルスとの邂逅を果たしたのが３０１６年で、２４年前になりますが、当然両地域はメタファルスを知らなかったわけではありませんし、技術的国際協力をしていなかっただけでしかありません。寧ろ１は地球の文明に対しての方が当てはまる質問とも言えます。
２ですが、まさにその通りです。第三塔の真下、今ではマグマ溜まりでしかないその場所こそシェスティネです。	
1) Actually, an international community had already been established by the time in which they could build the Towers. If you look at the timeline of our current Earth, in the 1800s exploring the entire planet seemed to be faraway dreams, given the number of places that hadn't been explored yet as well as the ones for which there weren't any roads leading to them. Compared to that, it was over 1000 years between the time in which Sol Ciel and Sol Cluster first made contact (2022 AD) until the time in which the Grathnode Inferia happened (3040 AD). The final region with which contact was established was Metafalss in 3016 AD, 24 years before the Grathnode Inferia, but naturally, this doesn't mean none of the other regions knew about its existence after contact was established, so the technological cooperation between them wasn't something impossible. Rather, your first question seems to be more like an attempt at comparing Ar Ciel to Earth's civilizations.
2) Yes, that is correct. Syestine is located right below the Third Tower, and right now it is no more than a large pool of magma.
「謳う丘～Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor～」初回限定版を買った１人です。曲も冊子もとても素敵で幸せです！
２つ質問がありますが、万の一回答下さると有難いです。
(１) ３でアオト達がアルシエルに「ダイブ」しますが、アルシエルのダイブレベル１はどのくらいの周波数に該当するんですか？レーヴァテイルだと２万Hzくらいですけど惑星の場合はどうでしょうか。
(２) こういう質問は多分答えられはないと思いますが、あまりにも気になってしまうので、あえて質問いたします(汗)
「シャラノワールの森」の歌詞は何語なのでしょうか？視聴を初めて聴いた時から「訳は分からないけど、これは絶対アル・シエラだ！」とか思っていたんですが、冊子の歌詞にはヒュムノス語の文字が用いられていますね。
もちろん、アル・シエラとは別の言語、たとえば『テル族が自然と対話する時使う言語』という可能性もあると思いますけど…実際はどうですか。
また、本当に星語で謳われる「Ec Tisia~Tarifa」も歌詞が同じくヒュムノス語文字で書かれているんですが、もしかして実はこの２曲の歌詞が必ずヒュムノス語の文字で書かれるべき理由があるとか…
(シナモン)	
I'm one of the buyers of the limited edition of [Singing Hill ~Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor~]. I was pretty glad about how great the songs and booklet were!
Well then, I have a couple of questions, so I'd be very thankful if you could answer them.
1) Aoto and the others did a [Dive] in Ar Ciel during Ar tonelico 3, so which would be the frequencies that correspond to Ar Ciel's Dive Lv. 1? Reyvateils have that level around the 20000 Hz band, so I was wondering which would be the frequency for a Planet.
2) I don't think that a question like this has a concrete answer, but as it's something that has been bothering me, I decided to go on and ask it anyway (sweatdrops).
What's the language used in the lyrics for [The Forest of Shelanoir]? When I first listened to it attentively, I thought, [I can't understand this at all. It has to be Ar Ciela!], but the booklet has the lyrics written in Hymmnos letters.
Of course, Ar Ciela is an entirely different language, so I thought up the possibility of this being [the language used by the Teru when they talked with nature], so... would that be the case?
Also, while it's true that [Ec Tisia ~Tarifa~] is a Song Sung by the Planet, its lyrics are also written in Hymmnos letters, so I was wondering if there was any particular reason for these two specific songs needing to have their lyrics written in Hymmnos letters...
(Cinnamon)
	
	
１ですが、厳密にはアオトやパーティー…ティリア以外の全員は、アルシエルの精神世界にダイブしていません。アルシエルにダイブしたのはティリアだけです。また、アルシエルにダイブ…というもの自体も少し語弊があります。それはわかりやすく言えば「日本の精神世界にダイブします」というのと同義です。アルシエルは個体ではなく、様々な惑星意志の集合体ですから、レーヴァテイルに対するダイブとも違います。正確には「翻訳」です。ティリアは惑星の意志の「想い」を感じ取れる周波数帯を持っていますから、それを受け取ってハーヴェスターシャXPの処理をもって「具体的な物体の具現化（質量の有る無しにかかわらず）」として翻訳します。ちなみに惑星と対話する為の最低限の周波数は１８万HZくらいと言われています。
２ですが、シャラノワールの森の歌詞は律史前月読の原型です。アルシエラから月読に移行する段階の原型とも言えますし、アルシエラの訛とも言えます。テル族が昔使っていた言葉体系でもあります。	
1) Strictly speaking, Aoto and his party... that is, everyone excepting Tilia, didn't perform a Dive into Ar Ciel's Soulspace. The only one who actually Dived into it was Tyria. Additionally, Diving into Ar Ciel... that itself is a slightly faulty expression. To put it into simpler terms, it would be the same thing as [Diving into Japan's Soulspace]. As Ar Ciel isn't an individual being, but an assembly of several planetary-level Wills, Diving into it is different from Diving into the Reyvateils. A more accurate way of calling this would be [Translation]: this means that Tilia grasps the [feelings] of the Wills of the Planet from their natural frequency bands and sends them to Harvestasha XP for processing, which [materializes them in the physical plane (regardless of if they have an actual mass)]. By the way, it's said that the minimal frequency band that can be used for conversing with the Planet is around the 18000 Hz zone.
2) The lyrics for "The Forest of Shelanoir" are written in a prototype version of Carmena Foreluna. We could also call it an intermediate step in the transition from Ar Ciela to Carmena Foreluna, or even a corrupted version or dialect of Ar Ciela. It also was the linguistic system the Teru used a long time ago.
3の資料集にありますアカネのEXEC_METEMPSYCHOSIS/.のバイナスフィアコーラスの応用、というのは、どういう形でバイナスフィアコーラスの技術が生かされているのでしょうか。単に圧縮しないで複数ライン走らせる、ということでしょうか
(ぴょ)	
We were told that Akane's EXEC_METEMPSYCHOSIS/. made use of the Binasphere Chorus in 3's Setting Encyclopedia, so how is it used? Isn't it simply executed to compress several lines into one?
(Pyo)
	
	
だいたい仰るとおりで合っています。疑似並列処理と増幅に関して、感情主体の通常ヒュムノスよりも実効値が上がるように組まれています。単語に関しては、冗長な装飾に代わり、それと類似する短文で想いの相似補完をすると共に、縮まった時間分繰り返す事でその想いを機械的増幅する事を行っています。アカネが独自に編み出した手法で、彼女の詩魔法も大抵はこの手法が取り入れられています。	
Generally speaking, that's what it does. It's related to pseudo-parallel processing and amplification, as using it allows increasing the power of the main emotions of a Hymmnos Song to its root-mean-square value. As for the words themselves, in exchange for dispensing with the redundant ornamentation and adding the usage of complementary, equivalent words of a shorter length but with similar feelings to them, it becomes possible to mechanically amplify these feelings by continuously repeating the shortening in the execution time. As this is a method devised by Akane herself, she is the one who generally reaps the greatest benefits from it.
1）3本編でサキの詩によってクラスタニアの戦艦が雲海に落下していくシーンがありましたがあの後戦艦の乗員は回収されたのでしょうか。
2）アルシエルの人たちの死生観はどのような感じになっているのでしょうか。やはり教えや居住場所によって千差万別なのでしょうか。
気温の変化が激しい日々が続きますが、どうかお体にお気をつけてください。
(マスカルポーネ)	
1) There was a scene in 3, in which Clusternia's battleships were dropped into the Sea of Death due to one of Saki's Songs. Would it be possible to save the crew that was in them?
2) What's the opinion the inhabitants of Ar Ciel have on life and death? Is there a large variety of outlooks depending on the region where they live?
There will be some harsh days due to the constant changes in atmospheric pressure, so please make sure to take good care of yourself.
(Mascarpone)
	
	
１ですが、残念ながら回収はされていません。
２ですが、当然地域によって異なります。最も死を身近に感じているのは実はメタファルスで、ソルクラスタ、ソルシエールの順に、生に対して執着が強くなります。最もメタファルスにおいては「死」とは永遠なる虚無ではなく、再出発的意味が強いからというのもあります。ソルクラスタは、文化的な意味合いではなく情勢的な意味合いでサバイバルな世界観である為、自ずと常に死を覚悟するという意味では死が身近です。ソルシエールが最も死を恐れる文化です。	
1) It's sad, but there's no way to save them.
2) Naturally, these outlooks differ from one region to the other. Whenever they are about to die, the people from these regions feel attached to life from weakest to strongest: Metafalss, Sol Cluster and Sol Ciel. This is because the Metafalssians don't think that [death] is an eternal abyss of nothingness, and instead have strong implications of it being the beginning of an entirely new life. As for Sol Cluster, they don't really have any cultural nuances on death, but rather environmental ones due to having a survivalist view of the world, so they always feel death close by and are always ready to accept it. Therefore, Sol Ciel is the civilization that has the highest fear of dying.
ヒュムノスは声帯で直接歌っているわけではないんですよね。ということは、ヒュムノスを歌う際に男声になってしまうレーヴァテイルも存在し得るのでしょうか？
(つつじ)	
So to sing in Hymmnos, it isn't necessary to actually sing with the vocal cords, huh? So, would there be any possibility of there being Reyvateils that sing with a male voice whenever they sing?
	
	
基本ありません。なぜなら、レーヴァテイルは顕在意識で歌声を変える事が出来ない為です。妄想だから何でも出来る、というのは少し間違いで、ヒュムノスを謳う部分は潜在意識であり、潜在意識にはその個人たる「原型」が存在し、その形は滅多に変わりません。それは自身をこの社会の中で「価値ある存在」とする為に大変重要な役割を担っており、その為に自己を無意識に主張します。その渦中にヒュムノスのシステムは存在し、それは個を主張する為に、個である事を強く意識し無条件で「自分である事」をアピールします。それが「詩の個性（楽曲傾向、心情傾向、歌詞）」となって現れ、そして「声質」になって現れます。ですから仮に、これが「男性声」として発動するレーヴァテイルは「原型」にそれを良しとする何かがあるか、異常を来しているかどちらかです。何にしても、歌によって男性声、女性声、もしくは同じ女性でも別人の声で歌う事は、理屈上「声帯が唯一である揺るがない個性」であるのと同じくらい不可能な事なのです。	
Basically, no. The reason for this is that Reyvateils aren't capable of consciously changing their voices. It's a small mistake to think that because Song Magic is based on fantasies, anything is possible, but the part that controls the Singing of Hymmnos acts subconsciously, where the [model] for the personality of an individual is located, and that is something that rarely can be modified. That is because of it being the part that has the tremendously important role of deciding [the worth in our existence] for society, and because of that it's that we subconsciously try to assert ourselves. The systems for Hymmnos are located inside that vortex of feelings, and because that is the part for asserting our individuality, it appeals [what we are] strong and unconditionally to our consciousness. That is manifested in [the individuality of the Songs (musical trend, emotional trend, lyrics)] and in the [voice type]. Therefore, while it's theoretically very possible for a Reyvateil to have a [model] that allows her to invoke Song Magic with a [male voice], it'd be hard to say if that would be normal or abnormal. Anyway, as for being able to Sing with a male voice, female voice, or even with a female voice different from the Singer's own natural voice, theoretically that would be impossible due to [to the vocal chords being one of the unshakable parts of a person's individuality].
前回もお答えいただきありがとうございます。今回も出力について。
インフェル･ピラの最大処理件数は確か1万件と資料集に書いてありました。そのため、アルトネリコ2の最後にEXEC_with.METHOD_METAFARICA/.を謳った時、その最大件数を超えていたと思います。この場合、METHOD_MEAFARICAの効果はやはり1万人までしか現れていなかったのでしょうか?
(黒土)	
Thank your for answering my questions in the previous issue. This time, I have one about outputs.
According to the Setting Encyclopedia, Infel Phira can process a maximum of 10000 events. So, when EXEC_with.METHOD_METAFALICA/. was sung at the end of Ar tonelico 2, I think that maximum threshold was crossed. Considering this, that means that the effects of METHOD_METAFALICA/. would only take in account up to the 10000th Reyvateil and ignore the rest?
(Kurotsuchi)
	
	
簡単に回答するならば、「合体メタファリカ」は確かに１０万人のI.P.D.が歌いましたが、発動件数は１件です。１０万人のI.P.D.は「入力」であり「出力」ではありません。サーレ状態では「入力＝出力」ですが、それ以外のモードでは異なります。ちなみに、レプレキアの場合の最大件数は数十が限界、メタファリカでは１件です。ただ、間違えやすい事ですので改めてお話ししておきますと、モードレプレキアでもサーレ状態と同じ、個人詩魔法は謳えます。それはレプレキア発動時に個人詩魔法が謳えるのと同じです。ただ、モード・メタファリカにおいて、その「メタファリカモード」を要件として設計された詩魔法は１件しか謳えないということです。「合体メタファリカ」を同時に２箇所で謳う事は出来ない、それだけのことです。	
If I had to answer this in a simple way, while it's true that 10000 IPDs sang together for the [Combined Metafalica], only one event was executed. This is because these 10000 IPDs are counted as [inputs], but not as [outputs]. Infel Phira's Sarre Mode indeed has the rule of [Input Number = Output Number], but the other Modes work differently on this regard. Incidentally, Replekia has a maximum output limit of a few dozens, while Metafalica has a limit of one. Still, it would be really easy to misinterpret these facts, so let's go over it again with this new information added: both Replekia Mode and Sarre Mode work under similar situations, so any individual Reyvateil can Sing Song Magic while they are being executed. This also means that any Reyvateil can use their own Song Magic while Replekia is being Sung. However, Mode Metafalica operates differently, and given the great importance it was designed to have, only one Reyvateil can use Song Magic during its execution: the Singer herself. This essentially means that while the [Combined Metafalica] is being executed, no other IPD can use Song Magic at the same time.
いつも楽しく読ませてもらってます
①メタファリカが失敗したとき魔大陸と一緒に魔物もでてきたとありましたが、成功したメタファリカでは動物やモンスターも創造されたのですか？
②ヒュムノスを純粋な音楽として研究したりCDのようにメディア化したりコンサートを開いたりする文化はありますか？
(余談ですがメタファルスの人は『EXECwith.METHOD METAFALICA/.』をいつでも聴けるようあらゆる手段を講じるのだろうなぁと思います)
(rr)	
It's always fun to get this to read.
1) When Metafalica failed, several monsters were created alongside Deathlandia, but if it was executed successfully, it would still create animals and monsters?
2) The civilization has advanced enough to study Hymmnos as just music and record them in media similar to CDs, or hold concerts based around them?
(It's a digression, but I think the Metafalssians would have taken all possible measures to listen to [EXEC_with.METHOD_METAFALICA/.] whenever they wanted.)
(rr)
	
	
１ですが、必要であれば作られます。実際にどうかは敢えて語りませんが、例えばもし「人間とは危機に直面する事で団結する」という固定観念が多数のI.P.D.に見られる場合、それはやんわりとモンスターの出現に繋がるでしょう。
２ですが、劇中で活躍の場はありませんでしたが「テレオン」という記録用のテレモが存在します。メタファルスでは高価なのであまり持っている人は多くありませんが、第三塔のクラスタニア民は大抵持っています。	
1) They will be created if they are needed. I wouldn't dare to say if that will actually happen, but as an example, if there were several IPDs with the idea of [the humans will band together and attack us during a crisis], that could be connected to a possible apparition of monsters in Metafalica.
2) This wasn't shown during the game, but there's a kind of Telemo that can record music called the [Teleon]. In Metafalss, they are pretty expensive items and thus not many people have access to them, but over at the Third Tower, in Clustania, pretty much everyone has one.
いつも楽しみにしておりますが、ほしかったEcTisiaはこっちじゃありません。
それはともかく、ハーベ様たちのデザインが片翼なのは、機能的な意味があるのでしょうか。
(santapiyo)	
I always look forward to this, but looks like my desired Ec Tisia didn't appear here either.
Well then, the design of Lady Harvy's wings have any sort of functional meanings?
(santapiyo)
	
	
主にデザイン的な意味合いのみです。XPとVISTAの２つでデュアルサイクルシステムを組めることの象徴です。	
They mainly have a design nuance: they are the representation of her being a Dual Cycle System formed by both XP and VISTA.
1)律史前月読の大文字は尊敬を現れると言われていますが、詠唱中だとどんな風に発音されるのですか（小文字を発音する時と何の違いがあるのか）
2)レーヴァテイル自分が自分にヒュムノスのダウンロードを行うことは不可能でしょうか。
(kara)	
1) We were told that the uppercase letters in Carmena Foreluna are used to express reverence, but how do they affect pronunciation during Singing? (What difference do they have in pronunciation from the lowercase letters?)
2) Reyvateils can't Download Hymmnos Songs all by themselves, right?
(kara)
	
	
１ですが、強めに発音したりします。律史前月読の表記とは、伝承者による指示的な意味合いが強いので、五線譜のスタッカート記号のような「強く、想いを込めて」という意志であるというだけのことです。実際にこの通り、強めて謳わなければ効果が出ないわけではありません（もちろん弱まる可能性もありますし、強まる可能性もあります）。
２ですが、できません。理由はセキュリティ上の問題です。	
1) They are distinguished by the uppercase letters having a stronger pronunciation. The notation of Carmena Foreluna has very strong implications of being handed-down instructions, so it's pretty much like the staccato symbols used in musical scores: they have the basic idea of being a marker of "put stronger feelings in this part". In practice it's just like this, as they won't show any effect if they aren't Sung in a stronger way (of course, there's always the possibility of they having either weakening or strengthening effects).
2) No, they can't. This is done in order to avoid security-related problems.
①アカネが持っている刀の刀身、真っ赤ですけど、特別な金属を使ったりしてあの色になっているのですか？それとも単なる着色ですか？
②メタファルスにテポのような存在がいたら、クローシェの三階層の欠落やジャクリの七階層の同じ階層に二つのステージがある、などもバグとして認識されていたのですか？
③「こころ語り」やコスモスフィアで七階層が二つ有ったりと、ジャクリってヒロインの中でもかなり優遇されていますけど、優遇した理由とかってありますか？
(ハーモニ)	
1) The blade of Akane's sword is bright red, but is that because an special metal was used to make, or simply because it was colored during its creation?
2) If there was a being like Teppo at Metafalss, would it be capable of recognizing bugs such as the collapse of Cloche's third level or the two Lv. 7s that Jakuri had?
3) From "The Heart Speaks" and the two Lv. 7s, it seems that Jakuri was given a very special treatment among the Heroines. There was any particular reason for that?

１ですが、特別な金属というわけではありません。デザイン的な意味合いが強いです。
２ですが、テポはクラックとして検出したと思います。ただ、フィンネルのそれとは違いますので、その対処法は「世界を連結する」という方法を取る事ではなかったでしょう。少なくとも介入してきた事は間違いありません。
３ですが、優遇はしていません。もし優遇と捉えられた方が多数存在するようであれば、私の判断ミスであり、今後の制作において、十分すぎるくらい気をつけていくべき部分であると捉えます（といいますか、AT2リリース後すぐに皆様の反応からそれがうかがえておりましたので、AT3では、より他方面から全ヒロインが平等に見えるような作りになるよう、全力をもって臨んでおりました）。「こころ語り」につきましては、制作当時ED後の詩曲というものがここまで皆様の中で反響を呼ぶ物になると当時想定できず、自分の先見と想像力の無さを現時点に於いてもただただ反省するばかりです。精神世界の二層化につきましてはギミック的な要素であり、その基準で考えますとフィンネルなどは１３階層となります。実際はジャクリ第六階層もフィンネルの２，３，４，５階層も、２つあれどセリフ量合計は通常コスモスフィアの１階層分でしかなく、各ヒロインごとのボリュームについても、私の至らなさはあれども細心の注意を払って設計はさせていただいておりました。ただ、この件に関しましても、今後同じ愚行で皆様に不快感を与える事の無いよう、より細心の注意を払っていきたいと考えておりますので、何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます。	
1) No, no special metal was used for making it. It's just because, from a design standpoint, that would imply how strong she was.
2) I think that Teppo would detect them as cracks. However, as they are different from Finnel's case, what he did to solve the cracks by [connecting the worlds] wouldn't be possible in either Cloche's or Jakuri's Cosmospheres. At the least, it wouldn't be wrong to let him intervene in these cases.
3) There was no special treatment. If there were many people that perceived it as such, it means that I made an error of judgment, so whenever I create something from now on, I'll make sure to take much more care to avoid committing this same mistake again (by the way, upon seeing the reception that AT2 got upon its release, I made everything in AT3 so everyone saw that its Heroines were being treated equally, and I put my all in making sure of that). Regarding [The Heart Speaks], I could never imagine that what we devised as a post-ending Song during production would become something that would cause so many ripples, so I could only reflect on how my lack of foresight and imagination caused things to come to this. As for the two Lv. 7s in the Soulspace, that was made as an important gimmick, so if you think about it with that mindset, you would see that Finnel ended up having 13 levels. And actually, Jakuri's two Level 7's and Finnel's fake Levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 have no more lines put together than a standard Cosmosphere level, so as for the volume of attention that each Heroine was given, I planned and paid quite a lot of attention to make sure that everything went as it was planned, despite how incompetent I am. Still, about all of this, I'll make sure from now on to not continue causing you all discomfort with my foolishness and pay much more attention to everything I do. So please, always continue looking over me.
アルルさんがティリアさんと融合し、ムーンシェルの機能をていしさせたにもかかわらず、フィールドやラストダンジョンをのぞくダンジョン、ムーンシェルて今に抗体が襲って来るのは何故なんでしょうか？
ラストダンジョンはアルルさんの制御下ではなくアルシエルの総意が統制しているのでおそって来る理由は解かるんですが・・・。
(sasurainohito)	
Why are there always Antibodies attacking in Moocheriel (this excludes the final dungeon and the fields), regardless of if Tilia and Ar Ru fused and the facility itself was shut down?
I understand that in the final dungeon the Antibodies weren't under Ar Ru's control anymore, and were instead controlled by the Consensus of Ar Ciel, but...

申し訳ございません、ゲーム制作上のリソースの問題、作業工数の問題としか解答する術がございません。	
I'm very sorry. I can only answer that this is the consequence of several problems we had with the production costs and resources while making the game.
お疲れ様です。
1．クロアとココナの仲良し兄妹ですが、ケンカのエピソードとかは無いのでしょうか？
2．シュレリア様のあのスーツはシュレリア様専用ですか？（着ようと思えば誰でも着れますか？）
3．アルトネリコのキャラ達を使って、まったく別の作品を作る予定はありますか？
(kou)	
Thanks for all your hard work.
1) Cocona and Croix look like siblings who get along quite well, but have they never had any quarrels or anything of that sort?
2) That certain suit used by Lady Shurelia can only be used by her? (Would anybody else be able to wear it if they tried?)
3) Do you have any plans to use the Ar tonelico characters for any different, unrelated franchises or products?
(kou)
	
	
１ですが、もちろん沢山あります。ご要望が多ければ何らかの形でエピソードとしてお届けすることもできると思います。
２ですが、シュレリア様専用となっております。
３ですが、私個人から回答できる質問ではありませんので、無回答とさせていただきます。	
1) Yes, of course they had quite a few. If there's a lot of interest, we could reveal these occurences to you all in some way.
2) No, Shurelia is the only one who can wear it.
3) I can't answer personal questions, so I'm afraid I'll have to stay silent about this one.
お疲れ様です。ヒュムノスについて気になっていた事があるので、いくつか質問させて頂きます。
１．アオト達に出会ったことで、700年前と現在とでティリアの心には様々な変化があったと思いますが、リバーシアプロトコルはフュージョンを起こしたりはしていないのでしょうか？
２．クロニクルキーに込められた詩の想いはシュレリアのものですか？
(こぶら)	
Thanks for all your hard work. There are a few things that bothered me about some of the Hymmnos Songs, so I decided to ask about them.
1) I think that Tilia's heart underwent various changes from how it was 700 years ago to how it is now due to her encounter with Aoto. Therefore, shouldn't Rebirthia Protocol have underwent a Hymmnos Fusion as a consequence of this?
2) Were the feelings contained in Chronicle Key crafted by Shurelia?
(Cobra)
	
	
１ですが、結構ヒュムノフュージョンしています。
２ですが、詩の想いを作ったのは初代リューンです。シュレリアはそれを使っているに過ぎません。	
1) Yes, it underwent a Hymmnos Fusion.
2) Actually, the feelings of that Song were made by the first Star Singer: Lune. Shurelia merely made use of them.
アルトネリコ１を再プレイしていてふと思いましたので質問です。
１・シュレリア様は塔の機能をパーセンテージで言えばどのくらい使えるのでしょうか。塔の機能が無限にはない事を前提に考えていますが…。
２・ダイブレベル９に達して塔に触れたレーヴァテイルは塔にアクセスできるようになりますが、どのくらい塔の機能を行使できるのでしょうか。ミュールを見ている限りではシュレリア様と同等なことも理論的には可能な状態に見えますけれども？
３・ミュールの行動はアルトネリコ１以前から塔に直接アクセスできているように見えますが、やろうと思えばサスペンド等も行うことが出来たのでしょうか？？
(YYY)	
After playing through Ar tonelico 1 once again, I came up with a few questions.
1) Which would be the percentage of the functions of the Tower that Lady Shurelia can use? I considered this after hearing that she didn't have an unlimited access to all its functions...
2) A Reyvateil becomes able to access the Tower upon reaching Dive Lv. 9 and touching the Tower, but how many of its functions could she use? As far I can see from Mir, she would be theoretically capable of doing things like Lady Shurelia and the others, but is that actually possible?
3) We could see that from before Ar tonelico 1, Mir's actions allowed her to directly access the Tower, but if she wanted, would she also be able to execute Songs such as Suspend??
(YYY)
	
	
１ですが、１０％未満です。
２ですが、「顕在意識として塔を操作できる」ようになるわけではありません。「塔の力を使えるようになる」というのは、分かり易さとケレンミ（誇大表現）重視の発言であり、実際には塔のリソースに対するアクセス効率が格段に良くなったというだけの話です。詩魔法アルトネリコなどは、実際に塔の機能を制御して発動するエクストラクトとは違い、塔と心の奥底で繋がったという想いからヒロインが生み出した、やはり妄想魔法でしかありません。
３ですが、サスペンドも出来ると思います。それに応じた数々の準備と専門的なハッキングや解析を経て、サスペンドを謳う事はできます。ただ、自分がより身動きが出来なくなる詩を、わざわざリスキーなハッキングをしてまで謳う事は無いと思います。	
1) Less than a 10%.
2) That doesn't mean that "she'll become able to consciously control the Tower". That line of "becoming able to use the power of the Tower" was, to put in layman's terms, a big exaggeration for the sake of the speeches given at that moment, as actually the Reyvateil only gets a special access to the Tower's resources that greatly increases her Singing efficiency. As for the Ar tonelico Song Magic and other similar ones, they are actually different from the Extracts that are executed to control the functions of the Tower in that they are created from the feelings of the Heroines connecting with the Tower at the very bottom of their minds, so they are no more than magic made out from their fantasies.
3) I think she'd be able to sing Suspend. Of course, she would need to make several preparations, technical hacking and analyzing it before being able to execute it successfully. However, I don't think she would be doing such a risky hacking for expressly executing a Song that would render her unable to do anything.
いつもお疲れ様です。
そう言えばの話なのですが、ヒュムノスの詩ってピアノとかバンドスコア等の楽譜として販売される事は無いのでしょうか？　今現在耳コピで何とか都合しているのですがどうしても採譜しきれない部分がありまして…。
ヒュムノートも楽譜と言うかスコア状態ですし。もしよろしければ検討いただければ幸いです。
(atsu@art)	
Thank for all your hard work.
By the way, there's no possibility of selling the scores of the Hymmnos songs for piano or bands? I've tried several times to get them down by ear, but there are several parts I can't transcribe at all...
Basically, publishing them in a way similar to the Hymmnote. If you can consider it, I'd be very glad.
(atsu@art)
	
	
夢のないお話しで恐縮ですが、ヒュムノスのスコアは実際全く現実的ではありません。例えばHYMMNOTEではオープニングとエンディングだけ収録で３０ページ超となっておりますが、特典であるという事もあり全パート掲載はしておらず、打楽器パートなどの精査などもしていない状態です。正式なスコアとして出す場合、厳密な作譜が求められますので、よりページ数も制作費用もかかります。大変申し訳ないながら、現時点では需要（購入者数予測）とコスト両面において現実的ではないと判断させていただいております。	
I'm sorry to say it, but unfortunately, a score for the Hymmnos songs isn't currently a realistic possibility. For example, the Hymmnote, which only covered the opening and endings songs was over 30 pages in length, and while we intended to publish every single part of these songs in it due to being a special bonus, unfortunately we couldn't completely write down the parts that corresponded to the percussion instruments. If we ever released an official score for them, everyone would demand for it to be as exact as possible, and due to its much higher page count and work required, it would cost us a lot to make. So while I'm very sorry, the demand for it (potential buyers) and costs have made us decide that it isn't realistic for now.
毎回質問回答お疲れ様です
１）第三塔の導力影響範囲はどれくらいなのでしょう？　ティリアノーマルで飛空艇を中継アンテナに変えなければならなかった事から、クラスタ一帯が限度？
２）アルトネリコ接続のレーヴァテイルはエオリア属のアルファ律を使えて、ソルマルタ経由アルトネリコ接続のレーヴァテイルはフレリア属とエオリア属のアルファ律を使えるという認識であっているでしょうか？（導力圏内なので）
また、アルトネリコ接続のレーヴァテイルはフレリア属のアルファ律を使用できますか？
３）第三塔のヒュムノスにエオリア属の単語が使われている曲がありますが、これは「第一塔のものを同じ読み・意味でティリアに登録させた」のか、それとも単に「作詞・大人の都合」なのでしょうか…
(つばくらめ)	
Thank you for your replies in each issue.
1) How large is the Symphonic Power range of the Third Tower? I guess that not even the relay antenna installed in the airship shown in Tilia's normal ending would change it, so would it just be limited to the Cluster region?
2) It's official that only the Reyvateils that are directly connected to Ar tonelico can use the EOLIA-Alpha Note, and the ones connected to Ar tonelico through Sol Marta can used the FRELIA-Alpha Note? (as long as they are inside their respective Symphonic Power ranges)
Or can both kinds of Reyvateils connected to Ar tonelico use the FRELIA-Alpha Note freely?
3) There were some occasions in which Hymmnos Extracts from the Third Tower used words from the EOLIA-Alpha Note, but is this an example of [Words that Belong to the First Tower that have the same meaning and reading that were registered in the TILIA-Alpha Note], or was just a matter of [adult circumstances while writing the lyrics]...?
(Swallow)
	
	
１ですが、第一塔よりも相当狭いです。元々周囲で詩魔法を使う為にグラスノ盤を装備しているわけではありませんので、せいぜいエル・デュエルまででしょう。
２ですが、ソルマルタを経由する必要もなく、EOLIA属、FRELIA属両方使えます。両方ともサーバーはアルトネリコ塔内です。
３ですが、申し訳ございません、ミスによるものです。	
1) As it would seem from its size, its range is much narrower than that of the First Tower. Since it's not equipped with the Grathnode Discs for allowing the usage of Song Magic in its neighboring region to begin with, its range can only get at its best to the area where El Duel was located.
2) They don't have to be connected to Sol Marta: both kinds can freely use the EOLIA-Alpha and FRELIA-Alpha Notes. After all, both Servers are stored inside the First Tower of Ar tonelico.
3) I'm very sorry. That happened because of a mistake on our part.
ドラマCD「クレア～そよかぜの約束～」でミディールが世界を滅ぼす『滅びの詩』を歌いますが、この詩があのまま歌い続けられていたら、具体的にどのような現象が起こっていたのでしょうか？

Midir sang the [Song of Destruction] to destroy the world in the Drama CD [Claire ~Promise of the Breeze~], but which phenomena would have manifested in the real word if she had continued singing it to the end?
