The Ar Ciela language has as its main characteristic that its meanings can't be completely inferred from its pronunciation due to the range of sounds that's audible to the normal humans. That is because the pronunciation itself of the language is located in a register 30 times higher than the audible range for humans, and furthermore, it's transformed into Dynamic H-Wave, which then cause an effect on the world. Let's make an hypothetical experiment with our own language to show you how we would hear the Ar Ciela language ourselves. Record your own voice or singing in a computer, and using a wave edition program, remove all of the sounds that have a range beyond 100 Hz. Once you have done that, most likely your voice will sound strange, and you won't be able to figure out what you said. That's the same thing that happens to the humans when they listen to Ar Ciela being spoken. For example, if you said [okaasan] (mother), once you have removed the sounds beyond 100 Hz, you might be able to distinguish that it it's composed by five morae, has two accents, and you can infer where the vowels are located. However, you won't be able to understand the nuances of the vowels, and end up hearing that as something like [ohoohon].
Because of that, even words such as [Tisia] have multiple meanings. Of course, if you could hear sounds up to the 600000 Hz range, while you would be able of noticing the differences in the pronunciation for each of the meanings, humans aren't capable of understanding the true meaning of the Ar Ciela words by simply listening. Due to this, it has been categorized, and subdivided into a tridimensional visual representation (a solid matrix) through the letters shown below.
There are two kinds of methods for writing in Ar Ciela: such methods are called the Public Form and the Compartment Form. Among them, the Public Form is used to write down only the sounds that humans can recognize within their limited audible range using 26 characters. Normally, humans won't be able to recognize the nuances of the words by just representing them with these 26 characters, so it was quite a challenge for them to just convert this range of sounds into writing.

On the other hand, the Compartment characters are annotations added to the Public characters to represent in a matrix the sound range that humans can't hear. They are used to separate each Public character into five wave frequency trends, and four wave amplitude trends. These are called Compartment Codes, and are treated as part of the Public characters (similarly to the Radicals of the Kanji).
The Compartment Codes fall into two large categories, called FMCL and AMCL, which used to logarithmically divide the frequencies from 20000 Hz to 600000 Hz into equal parts, called Compartment Levels. The FMCL (Frequency Modulation Compartment Letters) are used to divide the frequency bands of 20000 Hz and higher into five parts, symbolizing the region in which highest sound pressure is made. On the other part, the AMCL (Amplitude Modulation Compartment Letters) are used to determine how the sound pressure (Envelopes) changes when a letter is pronounced in frequencies beyond 20000 Hz. For example, the syllable [ka] has a sharp and short pressure, while [sa] emits a softer sound pressure.

※通常、FMCLはパブリック文字の上側に、 AMCLは下側に記述する。なお、コンパートメントコードは母音には
使わない。子音に多く存在する高周波成分の指標であるため、母音に使うのは無意味だからである。
Normally, FMCL are written above the Public characters, while AMCL are written below them. By the way, the Compartment Codes aren't used with the vowels. Because they merely serve as indicators for the composition of the many high frequencies present in the consonants, it's pointless to use them with vowels.

Ar Ciela was the basis for the Carmena Foreluna language, so the pronunciation of letters to cause mental effects (in other words, the Power of Feelings, or Dynamic H-Waves) are also present here. Due to this, while the words it forms can also be freely translated, the words have an specific meaning depending on how the feelings they contain are pronounced and assembled. For example, the words [Ec Tisia] literally mean [Empathy + Growth] and [Everyone + Sincerity + Forgiveness + Hope + Power of Feelings], but when these feelings are assembled and converted into Dynamic H-Waves, they form the meaning [Forgive Everything]. However, there isn't a limit for [the meanings of the words, or the number of meanings that come out from connecting the feelings of the letters]. It would be more accurate to say in the that the concept of this language is like the pronunciation of the Emotion Sounds in Hymmnos, due to each pronounced letter containing its own feelings.
Vowels are not subdivided by wave levels, and instead, they work with the associated consonants to form meaning, depending on how much energy they give to them. Due to this, it isn't possible to subdivide them in Compartments under the terms of Wave Science. While the meanings may seem disperse and unrelated to each other, to the Wills of the Planet they all are an unified emotion, represented by a single word enclosed in brackets ([]). However, this is merely because of the imaginary definitions that the humans gave to these emotions. Since the Ar Ciela words are themselves a polymeric synthesis of feelings, if a word has an [A] in it, changing it by a [U] or [N] would be inappropriate, since the only letter containing the feelings expressed with its pronunciation is the A itself.

※アルキア研究所所蔵資料。研究当時において、何となく解った部分のみが記されているⅠ～Ⅸの区分は研究所がつけたもので、

Only the known emotions are written in the above table according to research materials from the Archia Think Tank. Furthermore, their divisions into I to IX are purely for the purpose of researching, and have absolutely no meaning to the actual Ar Ciela language. So, say, if you divide a section - III for example - into 10 smaller subsections, the "feeling" will be divided even further and create far many new [Pronunciation Feelings].
Note: Everything from this point onwards was translated by Defade.

==Feelings Contained==
A long, long time ago, EXA_PICO whispered a song for the first time
Waves were born from the soundless ocean and the silent undulations, and spread afar in all directions.
The waves shook, and their movements became life, and a new song was whispered
The song became the light that lit up darkness, and many of their numbers turned into love for the lives they nurtured
The one who accepts love with her entire body and plays a song of joy - that is our mother
She will embrace us gently with her warm, all-loving and forgiving waves
The origin of life...
We, Mother Earth, the budding greenery and this universe
All sing together, our voices overlapping. Because we're all alive.
You can hear them if you strain your ears - the whisperings of the wind, the rhythm of the seas, the rumblings of the land
Those are the songs played by this planet
Their sounds shall be inherited by the inhabitants of that planet
The birds chirp, the beasts roar, and humans shall begin to sing
The songs shall become the melodies of origin and illuminate the lights of civilization
Humans shall know the art of singing with one another with overlapping voices
Eventually, that shall become a huge wave
That may even exceed the gods - a power that will shake the entire world
A song that brings souls to their run is sung throughout the world
And broken hearts shall forget the songs
When one who rules over silence appears
All light shall be lost, and nothingness shall reign supreme over the world
Now is the time for all souls to connect their hearts and sing
Freely shout in kindness and love, and let them become strength
Then use that power
And let the waves of love oscillate throughout the world
The world shall never stop singing
Because the world will never stop loving
If you sing out loud and clear, anyone will resound with you
Because everyone can become a song
==Footnote==
EXA_PICO is the one and only atomic nucleus that created this world. You can even say that this world was created through EXA_PICO's crafting of songs. For more details, go to p. 142 of Ar tonelico 2's setting book.
==Explanation==
The theme of this song is 'our history and future alongside the planet', so it was created with a grand and epic image different from that of At1 and At2. It goes through the planet's creation and growth, to its wars and destruction, and ends with a prophecy that states "If everyone accepts this planet as their mother and sing together, then our feelings will reach the planet." Were the feelings of this song expressed during the planet's regeneration?

I'm a normal girl
I don't really have good grades, and my athletic skills are nothing to be proud of
Amongst my classmates, I'm more on the plain side
I always held unrequited love for someone
Though I'm really normal
I have a pretty wonderful secret
When my phone rings
I'll immediately scramble to transform!
Yes, I am currently
The most famous person in the world
A cute and miraculously pretty warrior!
Pretty girl masked cutie PUMP ♪
I won't forgive the villains
I'll defeat you all in one swipe
Macho cutie halation
I'll release my itching muscles right now!
No matter what kind of villain they are
They'll succumb to my cuteness
That's also one of my deadly blows
Cuteness is power!
Tonight, the streets are peaceful
It's about time that I sleep
When I'm released from my macho cutie magic
I'll be a normal girl tomorrow
"I'll confess to my beloved tomorrow
Because I gained cutie PUMP courage"
But every day I end up hesitating out of nerves
So it all ends with me just watching
==Explanation==
This song definitely had impact along with Mute's existence, and definitely showed its strength as one of the 'hooks' of the game's beginning. The author of the story is Loudness. The fact that it ends without a confession is definitely the doing of a father.
===How EXEC_CUTYPUMP/. registers on a Third Generation===
Mute is a Third Generation, but she can sing the hymmnos Cutypump. This is the result of one of the important aspects in "Human Evolution Project" - "Making a list of all SH address currently linked (for details, see EXEC_Z/.)". Third Generations couldn't sing hymmnos because they don't have Hymn Codes, but actually, it's not like they don't 'have it', they just don't 'know it'. Hymn Codes are registered on HNC, and normally, when Betas register on the SH servers, the SH address in the return value is automatically saved on HNC and labeled through human means. So, if they make a list of the HNC and take up the labels one by one, redirecting (overwriting) their respective SH addresses to Mute's SH address, Mute can pretty much become a Beta. This cannot be done without technology that can completely analyze the SH server, so it's impossible for the First Tower with their current level of knowledge.
Also, the song's effects are the fruits of the research on "freely controlling the RAM that governs physical composition" - again, a very important aspect of "Human Evolution Project". Mute was the first successful case and is connected to Gengai becoming a Reyvaroid, but there's one basic difference between the two. If a body's composition is that of a Reyvaroid, that's not the original body the person used. This might be a bad example, but in Mute's case, she's being 'transformed freely' through photoshop, Reyvaroids are being 'painted over'. The methods of filling up components with something not present in the body is the fruits of another research.
In conclusion, Cutypump is a prototype that gathered the essence of Human Evolution Project, and all of them are gifts of Doctor Loude's research.

The land is a cradle, when the waking eastern sky shines white at the break of dawn
And the morning sunlight is born in the sky
Bonds of life stretches out their hands of salvation
Knowing that they're a forest of trees expanding their roots till eternity
Even foreboding omens that tell of destruction are fragile things that disappear like bubbles...
The power of prayer and wishes shall awaken miracles
Even without guidance, the wind shall sing
Run and stretch towards the future
With seeds as innocent as they were in a mother's embrace
Dwelling in your eyes that see the essence of things, play aloud this oath
Let's gather and light up the meaning of life
O Milky Way heading towards land, in glittering beauty
...connect lives
Both the clear and resounding sounds and the pure murmuring of a river are fated from destiny and the life before
Even the steadily crackling flames that continue to burn and expand
Will be cleansed by that wave, and life built upon its continuous sounds is the journey of an ark
This present world is wavering and floating, its heart proud
No matter how small the chance, it will extend the branches of its heart
Overcoming tears, light shines through darkness as deeply embedded as a cypress's seed
Tracing the shape of happiness, the light twinkled in a merry light, full of warmth and laughter
A lullaby providing guidance to a wonderful place called paradise
Flows through the lands
Within the gentle arms of a mother, the melody that resounds like spirits that dwell in trees
Fill distant corners with the hope of moonlit nights close to full moon
Let us pour out our dreams to each other in love and gather
O Milky Way heading towards land, with bright and far-reaching voices
==Explanation==
This is a song that originated from ancient times, based upon legends of people in Clusternia. It's filled with the traits and history of the Clusterian people who had to escape from the Sea of Death towards the Great Fang. This is a rare example of a spiritual song in this game, contrasting with the Third Tower hymmnos that place too much emphasis on technique.

There were two powerful countries in that world - the kingdom of Vinnel, and the kingdom of Ruou.
The two countries ruled over their neighbors, and waged wars to dominate the world.
Both race and culture are different in the two countries, but there was one thing they had in common.
Religion.
Both the countries worship the god Shanoa, and both countries' men people were said to be descendants of the sun.
And that only worsened the conflict between them.
Who were the true descendants of the sun? The people of Vinnel, or the people of Ruou?
They tried to back up their claims with different reasonings,
And find flaws in the opponent's arguments at the same time.
The small-scaled competitions that arose became usual occurrence.
Shanoa looked upon this situation every day and was deeply troubled by it.
To Shanoa, the residents of both countries were great worshipers, and both were the true descendants of the sun.
Shanoa could not stand by and watch the situation unfold anymore
And came to earth in a human's body.
Shanoa wanted to persuade both sides to stop them from fighting.
Shanoa first headed to Vinnel.
Visiting the castle as a traveling priest, Shanoa told of god's sadness caused by this war.
Then the king of Vinnel displayed his hair for all to see, and said.
Look at this hair. We, who possess shining platinum hair are the true descendants of the sun.
The people of Ruou have black hair. They're the servants of the lord of darkness.
They're trying to conquer us and spread the power of darkness.
Shanoa gave up on the stubborn king, and headed to Ruou.
Visiting the castle as a traveling priest, Shanoa told of god's sadness caused by this war.
Then the emperor of Ruou displayed his skin for all to see, and said.
Look at this skin. This auburn skin is proof that we have bathed under Lord Shanoa's holy light.
As the descendants of the sun, we are always with it.
The people of Vinnel have pale skin, they're the family of those in the afterworld. Our duty is to destroy them with our sunlight.
Shanoa was out of ideas after witnessing the emperor's obstinacy.
Leaving the castle, Shanoa headed towards the Gurglenoa volcanoes at the country's border to think of a new idea.
However, Shanoa was surrounded by the people from both Vinnel and Ruou on the way. They pointed their spears at Shanoa,
And said.
We heard that you spread fallacy in god's name in both countries to mislead us into the path of evil.
You damned child of the devil, trying to sway our belief!
Be purged right here!
Shanoa was immensely saddened, and cursed himself.
Why did it come to this. Was his guidance bad?
He forgave everything until now. And it all comes down to this?
Shanoa decided. He needed punishment to guide his children onto the right path.
He used the power of the light and destroyed both countries.
Both Vinnel and Ruou disappeared from the world map in one moment.
==Explanation==
This is quite a hymmnos from Saki, who wasn't a normal girl to begin with. Other Reyvateils would've probably woven different songs from the same Hymn Crystal. Actually, the creation of this song goes back to Ar tonelico 2. When Shikata-san saw the furious argument between Luca and Cloche in the Infelsphere, "Stop fighting!" was on her mind.

There was a cursed castle of ice at the very end of a dry land.
One day, a traveling boy found the ice castle, and was overjoyed at the prospect of saving his village.
Because he'll be able to give water to his family, to his fellow villagers.
However, there was a girl of ice trapped within by a curse.
She froze the entire castle, and could not move.
Her expression was simply too sad, and the boy wanted to save her.
He somehow brought her back to the village, but she remained frozen.
How can I melt the ice?
The boy talked to an eagle watching him from above.
"Talk to her every day like this.
If the girl can regain her heart, she'll definitely awaken."
Taking the eagle's advice, the boy talked to the girl every day,
And believed that the ice will melt someday.
However, the girl is ice.
If warmth is brought to her heart, her entire body will melt.
Just like the eagle has said, the girl's heart was slowly filled with warmth.
"Thank you for talking to me all this time"
The girl whispered, and her cursed body began melting.
The boy's outstretched hand grasped nothing,
And the girl's body became water and returned to the heavens.
Then, it started to rain.
The rain poured down on the dry village, and everyone was overjoyed at the blessing.
Only the boy was sad.
Even though her body melted, where has the girl's heart gone?
He searched as much as he could, but found nothing.
The eagle thought that the girl's heart also became water, and turned into the boy's tears.
Because his shed tears are full of warmth.
She was able to help her beloved, so the girl smiled in happiness.
But no one could see the face of the girl who became water.
==Explanation==
Companion to the song magic program "EXEC_HYMME_~", it is a high-level song magic crafted from the "EXEC_FLIP" program. Just like how "EXEC_HYMME" is the "manifestation of fantasies",　"EXEC_FLIP" is "turning yourself into fantasies". Because a huge amount of "power of feelings" and "processing power" is required, the willingness = feelings to turn your own life energy into processing power is needed.

When the Cello Moon and the Viola Moon overlap,
And this world fills with darkness,
This world shall yearn for souls. This God shall fall in love with humans.
At that time, the most noble and beautiful soul
Shall be offered to God.
O, Suzunomiya, the God of songs
You who received the protection of our motherly Ar Ciel,
The Goddess who controls its melodies,
May this song reach your ears.
Your desired soul is right here.
To sing until her soul extinguishes, to fulfill God's heart,
One girl is heading your way.
That one girl shall fuse her soul with yours
Two souls into one
And you shall craft a new song again.
That song shall bring light to this world
And peace shall come upon this world again.
When the cello's moon and the viola's moon go their own ways,
And light revives in this world
This world shall be with a new God
At that time, the world shall show its most noble and beautiful side
To humans.
For hope of that beautiful future, and for the ideal society governed by order
As a maiden, I swear to offer this body.
To that end, I shall eliminate
Many disasters, ego, and karma.
O, Suzunomiya, the God of songs
You who received the protection of our motherly Ar Ciel,
The Goddess who controls its melodies,
Dwell in thine desired soul
And for the sake of a new world, continue to craft songs.
As a protector, I shall be with you to the best of my ability
I will stay by your side and protect you so that you never disappear.
So don't be afraid, don't disappear
One girl shall fuse her soul with yours,
Two souls into one
And you shall craft a new song again.
That song shall bring light to this world
And peace shall come upon this world again.
==Footnotes==
This song was originally meant for generation shifts(exchange of new bodies and old bodies), different from the in-game situation, but since the system process is treated the same way, it was sung as the execution song for the creation of holography. Suzunomiya appears in the lyrics since this song was created in the first century(more accurately, the first stages of the second century). Back then, Suzunomiya was still one of the major gods (she'd even appear in Cartology. In Japanese terms, she'd be in the same class as the four heavenly kings)
Also, this is in part due to the singer's personality, but elements that emphasize efficiency calculations are found in this song. For example to deliver many words at the same time in "For the important future, and for the ideal society governed by order, I swear to offer this body.To that end, I shall eliminate many disasters, ego, and karma.", Binasphere chorus techniques were applied (a more human-friendly "Lite version" is used, a multi-tasking technique that didn't emphasize efficiency as much as the full Binasphere did). As such, adjectives that have very little output (however, depending on its usage, its amplifying effects may be increased) are eliminated, and the lyrics are made by lining up words that give the highest efficiency average. Eliminating uncertain factors like whether the song's efficiency will increase or decrease, Akane's hymmnos is simply faithful to the origins of the hymmnos language. In this game, the song that has the most contrast (prioritized expression and is the most emotional. The waves of success and failure are extreme.) was Finnel's EXEC_FLIP_FUSIONSPHERE/. If we look at it from the standpoint of their relationship, it might be an interesting observation.
==Explanation==
A song to make Tyria's holography(copy). When Tyria failed at Rebirthia Protocol and became an incomplete tower, this song was developed by Kurogane Laboratories to remain in contact with her. It was taken to Clustania during the Reyvateil revolution, and was administrated so that only the current general could utilize it in times of need.

The ritual of souls is about to begin
The most historic day in the world will come about
Because the one girl born to save this world
Will ascend to godhood today
Connecting her heart with God, she'll become the new Creator
Creation from a new order heralds the beginning of a time of supreme bliss
Pain ends today
Tomorrow, it shall turn into a world filled with hope
Because the girl will grant the same amount of "happiness inhabiting this world" to everyone
Spin and sing, to fuse the world into one
The girl's feelings shall melt and become a lamp for all hearts
Her soul shall become light and a star that brightens tomorrow
And then the girl shall become the world
Darkness and light shall melt into one, and become morning and night
All wisdom shall flow into the girl
And become the monolith to further the evolution of this world
Humans, let your bodies be filled with joy tonight!
Because, for every soul that you release
Its energy shall turn into the energy for evolution
And guide this world to a world filled with utmost happiness
Seeing that, the girl shall be happy as well
Because she can feel the accomplishment of her duty
She can become nothingness while embracing feelings of bliss
A soul that will watch over everyone's happiness forever
Many blessings to the girl!
And may this world be filled with happiness!
==Explanation==
This is the song that represents Saki's duty, meant to neutralize the Antibody Brain, you might even go as far as to say that this song is Saki herself. When she sings this song, Saki's entire body will transform into something else, but if her own consciousness was stronger at that time, she can overcome metamorphosis, and perhaps keep her identity. But if she was weaker, then she'd be absorbed completely.
==The Reason Why Arphage's song changed==
When Arphage reaches a certain point in the song, its entire atmosphere changes. This is due to the change in Saki's heart. Normally, when a singer is singing a hymmnos, she won't have a sudden epiphany or change her heart, so most hymmnos have the same atmosphere throughout the song. But during that time, Saki remembered her true identity and duty while singing this song, so her entire attitude changed. Because of that, the atmosphere of the entire song took a sudden turn. These things are fairly common in Hymmnos Words, but in Hymmnos Extract songs - which are often sung with a fixed emotion -, having a song take a rapid turn is very rare.
Also, quite a bit of Hymmnos Fusion is present in the first half, and Saki's feelings are overpowering the song's feelings. After Saki remembered her duty in the second half, her desire to see Arphage succeed expressed itself in lyrics that are closer to the song's actual feelings.

The ritual of souls shall begin now
The time of utmost happiness in this world shall begin now
Creation and destruction are destruction and creation
They are merely manifestations of opposites born from the world's laws
All creation absent of order signal the beginning of the time of happiness
Pain shall end today
Tomorrow shall greet a world overflowing with hope
Today
Only today, dance in madness
Only today, sing in screams
Spit out your intense love and euphoria to the world
That energy shall become the source for a new world
Invite storms, and give up your body to the ocean!
Shake the ground, become the foundations of rocks and moisten the earth!
Anger the mountains, mix your crimson blood with its red!
And a temporary death follows!
And wait for rebirth in joy!
Pray! Sing! Scream out in madness!
Let's dance our rampage through this ritual of souls!
Ah! All's well ends well!
==Footnotes==
You could probably understand by just reading the song's feelings, but it's very similar to that of Arphage's. ViiBaCi MJiiRa is an improvisation by Ar Ru (strictly speaking, it's not a hymmnos), when she read the feelings of Arphage, her feelings overlap too much with the human that she wants to transform into an antibody, so she parodied the song. It's rather dark, but that's her kind of parody (joke).
==Explanation==
This song is crafted by Finnel and the Planet's Will for the activation and control of Moocheriel, it's also "the manifestation of the desire to save this planet". It also uses the prayer language that came before hymmnos, Carmena Foreluna, but since it's passed down by word of mouth and has no actual letters, that part is recorded in "Ar Ciela"(refer to p. 138).

The "kare hatsu chi" from the last line "kare hatsu chi soba furu wa kurenai no namida ka" does not only mean "the land where he ends", but also has the meanings of "the land where he departs/sets off from" "he is the land" "dried leaves and land". Each of them subtly affects the impression of the words that follow. Part of the fun is to imagine them.

==Feelings Contained==
I like the night sky. Because stars are always there.
The darkness of the night is my heart. Before, there were no stars on that dark night sky.
It's pitch black everywhere.
I have nowhere to turn to, and I cry in solitude.
However, nobody can see me like that. I was alone, in the truest sense of the word.
On a certain day, one brightly shining star appeared in the night sky.
"Come here." "It's not dangerous."
I headed towards that star. I was worried at first
But a sense of calmness soon overtook my heart, and I began to run towards that star.
When I look up, the night sky was filled with stars.
The rivers of the sky lead towards the brightest star like a path.
I want to go there as well.
If I go, then I'd definitely be able to accept myself.
Because under the illumination of starlight, I'd be able to see myself for the first time.
You who are illuminating me. I want you to see much
Much of me, who is brightened thanks to your light. I want you to watch me forever.
And I will try to enlighten a star within this darkness, using my own strength.
My star will be at your side
You, who are brightly shining, so that it can accept all of your light
And also to support your shine.
Let's walk on the bank of the heavenly river
Gather the fruits of the stars of hope in our hands and eat them.
Let's go to the hill that stars fall on
And heal our wounds through the blessing of raining stars.
We'll always be together
Even if you go down to the earth
I can watch over this world in happiness
Surrounded by the numerous stars you gave me
Thank you, for lightning up stars in my heart
Thank you.
==Explanation==
When Aoto chose a life alongside Finnel, she knew the happiness of living and sang this song. When her wish for love between them was granted, she could finally grasp the stars that she only looked up at before. Even if her measured life is short, she was filled with happiness at this time, and is thankful for being born into this world.

A demon king lived in a castle on the outskirts of a village.
The villages were afraid of the demon king.
The demon king's presence instilled such fear within them that they cannot farm, and spent every day with empty stomachs.
On a certain day, a youngster in the village volunteered to slay the demon king.
The villagers were overjoyed, and praised the youngster as a hero.
The youngster's sense of justice was stronger than most people's, and in hopes of defeating the demon king
He refined his sword skills every day.
The hero summoned up his courage, and headed towards the demon king's castle.
And reached the throne room of the demon king.
There sat the demon king.
Come, let us fight, demon king!! said the brave hero
However, the demon king threw one look at the hero, and timidly hid behind her chair.
The demon king said
I'll give you all the food you want, so please don't take my life!
The hero was shocked.
The demon king took the hero into her garden.
Many seedlings were planted there.
Just by living, I bring misfortune to everyone.
If I cease to exist, then everyone can live happily ever after.
But even if I want to die, I'm too scared to.
I thought that I could at least prevent them from suffering due to hunger, so I planted some watermelons.
Thereafter, the hero and the demon king tended to the watermelons together.
The demon king seemed to be very happy.
Which was expected, really, since it was the first time that she enjoyed farming with another.
True to their efforts, many big watermelons soon sprung up
The demon king and the hero were very happy.
And then the hero took the watermelons to the village for everyone to eat.
The hero returned to the village, and told the villagers about the demon king.
But the villagers would not believe him no matter how hard he persuaded them.
At the end of the day, they thought that the hero betrayed them for the demon king
And threw stones at him, chasing him out of the village.
The watermelons he made just for them were smashed.
The hero returned to the demon king's side and cried in regret.
The demon king comforted him.
And together, they ate the watermelons.
The hero was shocked at how good they tasted.
He expressed his thoughts to the demon king, and made the demon king happy.
The next day, the demon king was nowhere to be found as the hero woke up.
In the garden, the harvested watermelons were piled up like mountains, and a letter was left behind.
I'm going on a little trip.
I'll leave these watermelons and this castle to you, Mr. hero.
Please tell the villagers that you've defeated the demon king and taken these watermelon fields.
I'm very, very sure that they'll be happy.
Please don't worry about me.
Mr. hero, when you helped me plant these watermelons
For the first time, I thought it was okay for me to be alive.
I felt like you were telling me that.
Because you were always by my side to cheer me on, I was able to make so many watermelons
I was able to find hope in this world.
So, thank you.
I don't feel lonely anymore. I'm very content.
You saved me, my hero
Even if we can't meet, I'll always be with you.
The hero stared at the mountain of watermelons, and cried.
==Explanation==
The feelings contained in this song were depicted in Saki's picture book on pg 136. Saki, who held immense power, saw herself in the demon king, and Aoto in the hero. Saki, like the demon king in the picture book, was fated to disappear in the end. So to leave something that her precious ones can remember her by, Saki created this with all her heart.

A refugee ship drifts at the speed of light
Alone in this planet's ocean
In this distance of forty thousand light years from Sol
Seeking for God, while bearing a fate of eternal wandering
There is an uncountable amount of people on this boat
In these poor surroundings, both inside and outside - people are everywhere.
The young girl Kanui sat amongst those people.
She doesn't do anything but eat the solid food she was given every day.
No, she couldn't do anything.
Humans have lost their planet, and this boat was all that was left.
Their only hope lies in the living entity called COSAL, the savior of humankind.
They call it God.
And the young girl Kanui acted as the medium between them and COSAL.
As the medium, Kanui healed, comforted and served the humans, and conveyed teachings.
But there are simply too many people on this boat slated for forty thousand light years
People are in a state of decay, and there are many who throw themselves overboard.
During all that, the people eventually came into contact with mysterious lifeforms.
"They", who came onto this ship during some point, had transparent bodies inlaid with stars.
The people were shocked, and burnt out those bodies
The stars within those bodies scattered on the starship, and eroded the people's bodies.
They invade their bodies like an epidemic, and the people died after getting a high fever.
Most of "them" escaped into the ship, but nonetheless, the people took chase.
Kanui's meeting with "them" happened a few days later.
It was over in an instant.
Just as her mind registered "their" sudden appearance, "they" took off immediately.
The reason came to her quickly.
Doctors were chasing after them with firearms.
But Kanui knew it immediately upon meeting "them".
She needed to chase after them.
"They" were cornered in the engine room.
In a world neighboring a vernier of a few thousand degrees, they can't live long.
So the people shut "them" into the control room, and waited for "them" to turn into coals.
Kanui squeezed her way through those people and opened the door of the engine room.
Shaking off the surprised adults who tried to stop her, she headed into the engine room.
It was a burning world.
"They" looked at her, and drew back as if in fear.
But she reached out to them, and sang gently.
Hey, please listen?
I have no intention of stealing your lives or powers
Because every single will is essential to this world as a whole
They should not be discriminated against or disregarded
I know humans are not kind lifeforms, nor are they strong lifeforms
But please, for the sake of those who attempt to coexist with you, give them hope
So that this world may overflow with hope
Kanui was brought down to her knees. She could not longer stand.
But even if she could not stand, even if her hand was burning
She did not lower it, and continued to sing
Those lifeforms approached her timidly
Placing their hands on hers, they whispered
Our name is Ru-
==Footnote==
The antibody consciousness's name "Ar Ru" originated from the "Ru" mentioned in this song. Also, the feelings contained in Cosmoflips and Rebirthia Protocol are simply summaries of short stories in the book "dhezeall", said to be written by Kurogane out of interest.
==Explanation==
This song functions by sealing the soul of a higher-order lifeform into the singer, thus allowing communication with same-order lifeforms. Using this song, Tyria fused with Ar Ru in preparation for the conversation with the planet's consciousness, but even amongst the origins, only Tyria was created with the ability to access the range of the planet's wave frequencies.
==The true forms of EXEC_COSMOFLIPS/. and EXEC_REBIRTHIA=PROTOCOL/.==
Originally, Cosmoflips was created to precede Rebirthia Protocol. These two songs were developed by AAA for the sole purpose of planet regeneration, and can only be processed by Tyria and the Third Tower. Since the order and timing of the songs were decided from the beginning, the feelings contained in them form two parts of one story so that they can be sung naturally after each other.

A refugee ship drifts at the speed of light
Alone in this planet's ocean
In this distance of forty thousand light years from Sol
Seeking for God, while bearing a fate of eternal wandering
One Goddess and 120000 refugees were on the ship.
They have exhausted their food supplies, and absorbed all organic substances,
Despite that, the people still lived on while dying.
Though Kanui - the maiden who could communicate with God - was their hope,
She chased the invaders - "them" - into the engine room and suffered fatal burns.
Emerging from the room, she told this to the stirring crowd.
Devour this body of mine.
Or you'll all die...she said.
The people hesitated.
But there was no food left on the ship.
No one has eaten or drunk anything for more than ten days.
A ship without an engineer is one headed towards death.
Someone put the maiden in their mouth.
Kanui whispered lightly.
Please, give hope...
As if on a cue, the people crowded around Kanui and devoured her whole.
And then, the people died.
Before the passing of 10 days, all life was wiped out.
The people's corpses piled up like mountains, and eventually decomposed, returning to the earth.
By the Ru's power, the people's corpses became a bountiful land.
The ship rode on the land made of their corpses, and traveled on.
Sometimes by the undulations of the planet, sometimes by the power of the atoms.
And then, one life was born.
That which was piled on the ship with the humans sprouted a beautifully green bud.
Eventually, after a few hundred light years of traveling,
The ship was covered in greenery, and microscopic lifeforms were born.
The ship acted as a huge biotope, and more lives were created.
After traveling a few thousand more light years,
The ship was pulled in by a small planet and forced into landing.
And the ship - which had become a huge biocapsule -, nurtured life on this planet.
Alongside the planet Sol that nurtured the light of hope
A new generation of humans shall be born
Onto this planet - the new land of hope
And create a new civilization.
Awaken, o land
Make our souls resound just once more
And please give hope to these new lives
I pray that a disaster like this shall never happen again
To our descendants
Or our motherly planet
==Footnote==
The feelings contained in this song act as the continuation of Cosmoflips' story. This story from dhezeall may appear to describe the Antibodies' duty, but the actual revelation of their structure came much later on. Maybe Kurogane, the creator of this crystal, foresaw the existence of the antibodies.
==Explanation==
The 'song of hope' that Mir heard from Ayatane is actually EXEC_REBIRTHIA=PROTOCOL/. Mir didn't know of this song, but she knew the song closest to the ideals represented - EXEC_METAFALICA/. -, and chose that as her definition of song of hope instead.

I've always been treated as nothing but a tool.
Be it 700 years ago or now.
As the key "item" for the Planet Regeneration Project
I've been nurtured and managed with care.
In the past or present, those actions don't constitute love, they were only humanity's attempts at survival.
As someone who grew up in an environment like that, I lost all interest in humanity. They're all the same.
I see no individualism.
All of them treated me with care as a tool.
So everyone took the same actions.
How should I call out to those people?
How should I build love between us?
This might be their line of thought.
Since she's a girl vital to the Planet Regeneration Project
We can't harbor any personal feelings towards her.
Were the planet regeneration to fail because of that
We wouldn't be able to take responsibility.
I understand.
That's why I don't blame them.
I don't feel indignant either.
I just became indifferent.
People simply became rocks.
There have been only two who saw me as an "individual".
He saw me as a person.
He made me angry, made me smile, made me cry.
He did so much for me - things that nobody ever did for me.
Until now, I thought ensuring the success of the Planet Regeneration Project
Had been my duty, without a shadow of doubt.
But for whom?
For people as uninteresting as rocks.
But, the only person precious to me and living did not express that desire.
That's why I thought
Instead of using my power for those people I have no interest in
I'd rather be there for my most precious person.
And I want to be together with him...forever.
If he wishes to live with me, I'll do so. Till the end of my days.
==Explanation==
Kurogane, who acted as Tyria's specialized technician, took on a loving attitude with her, but that was merely the means to further draw out her potential. Tyria, who was treated as a tool and suffered from Kurogane's suicide, has finally found a place to be after 700 years, and attained her "life as a human".

The city was controlled by a powerful authority
Those in positions of power saw the people only as trash, and repeated their daily cruel acts of massacre.
There were people who stood up against that.
They were a revolutionary group called "Z".
All of those in Z had their family members killed by those in power.
However, there were a few special cases.
One of them was a girl called Kanon, whose lover was killed by the authorities.
However, she was one of the high-ranking officials who once ruled the city with the authorities.
Of course, she couldn't possibly reveal that fact about herself, so Kanon kept silent.
On a certain day, Z invaded the stronghold of the authorities, and searched for a way to capture it.
And they found something terrible.
Medicine designed to strengthen bodies.
Z thought that the authorities wanted to use this medicine to further their oppression of the people.
They stole the medicine and brought it back.
The next day, pretty much everyone in Z headed towards the fortress.
On that day, Kanon arrived at Z's base a bit late, and heard
That they were going to strengthen their bodies with the medicine that the authorities have come up with, and strike back at them.
Kanon's face paled, and she hurried to the fortress.
However, she was too late, and all members of Z turned into monsters.
Kanon stepped into the scene.
One monster appeared there.
He seemed very happy.
No, not only him - all members seemed very happy.
And they went to capture the fortress in high spirits.
Later, the fortress was silent, and the people were freed from the reign of terror.
The Z monsters that defeated the authorities slowly had their identity eroded bit by bit, and began to attack humans.
The people then had no choice but to defeat them with respect.
All of the soldiers that took them down said that the Z heroes wore happy expressions even before their death.
A face that told of fulfilled vows and satisfied hearts.

This song symbolizes the end for Richa, who became Raphael's puppet. It's a hymmnos developed by the Archia Think Tank for use in "Human Evolution Project", it might be an ark of sorts for humans, but for Richa, she felt none of those feelings while she was singing. Instead, what filled her were merely feelings of sadness and dreariness.

Access Ar_Ru's cosmography duplicate in the SH pointer 0x00268.
After restarting, overwrite souls.
(SH pointers are SH server addresses)
If we correctly explain EXEC_Z/.'s functions, it's something like this.
1. Make a list of all currently existing Soulspace that have addresses (regardless of life or death).
2. Attach conditions to human addresses that link to those
3. Sever the mental and physical states of currently living and target Reyvateils (not all of them)
4. Maximize output of the XP antenna, link human's unawakened Reyvateil properties with mental worlds
5. Connect to Ar Ru's Soulspace (SH server address)
6. Copy Ar Ru's physical composition memory (the part that creates the bodies) onto that of the SH server
7. Human awakening
1~7 are executed at once following the conclusion of the song like a normal hymmnos, unlike how Metafalica executes it step by step with confirmation following each process (the divide type). The high-level step by step process that Metafalica executes is the specialty of Pastalie hymmnos, and Standard Hymmnos cannot utilize divide type to that extent. For example, if the two songs Rebirthia Protocol and Cosmoflips managed to utilize divide type at the level of Pastalie hymmnos, making them into one song will be both cheaper and easier to administrate.

A long time ago, this land was dry.
There, a girl by the name of Rhaplanca planted a seed and nurtured a tree.
The only seed. A land without water.
It must've been tough for the girl. To even raise one tree.
A few hundred years after that. The great tree Implanta continuously provided blessings to the people.
But in a certain year, a withered leaf fell for the first time.
Yes, the tree has begun to wither.
Koko, the Maiden at that time, was charged with the protection of the tree.
And of course, the people put all the blame on her.
The tree began to wither because she didn't pray enough.
Koko knew.
The tree begun to wither because the people's hearts were barren.
Koko did not tell that to the people.
Not only that, she began to care for, pray for and sing for the tree with more fervor.
But Implanta did not return to its former glory.
Harvests worsened, water dried up, and people stole from each other.
And continued to place the blame on Koko.
Koko watered the tree every day, and gave her prayers.
She woke up earlier than anyone, gave her meals to the poor,
Took care of the injured, and gave her prayers again.
Still, the tree did not recover, and Koko was publicly judged.
She was forced to stand in front of people and endure their criticisms.
Despite that, she still saw the people through innocent eyes,
And wanted to share their pain.
She said this to the crowd.
I've done my best.
But I can't revive the tree.
How much I've feared, escaped, suffered...been confounded...made mistakes.
I'm still just a human being, a woman, not a God...
She told it as it is, and called out.
I just want to help everyone.
I want to work together with everyone to fill this world with hope.
My feelings, my sufferings, my desires, and because I want to live on with everyone,
I knew I could succeed...
That's what I think, and that's why I stand here now.
I will abide by your wishes and step down from my position.
But please spare me from capital punishment for now.
My feelings won't change depending on whether I'm the Maiden or not.
I will definitely revive Implanta.
Until the end of my days.
Like she promised, Koko gave up her position as the Maiden.
But her actions did not change.
She woke up earlier than anyone in the morning, watered the tree, took care of it,
And though she herself doesn't get food every day, she gave what she could to the poor.
She looked after those who were injured, and gave her prayers to Implanta at night.
Koko believed.
That her feelings would be delivered.
To Implanta, to the people.
Even if she were to die, her feelings would remain for eternity.
Strong feelings will never fade.
Eventually, as people observed her, they began to water the tree of their own accord.
They were wary of how other people viewed them at first,
But when more people joined their ranks, they were filled with confidence
Though humans are weak lifeforms, their feelings can become stronger when a lot of them gather.
On a certain day, a young boy who woke up even earlier than Koko finally discovered
A small but strong sprout that grew at the bottom of Implanta's trunk.
Just like Rhaplanca's feelings, Koko's feelings reached the people.
Koko nurtured Implanta the same way that Rhaplanca did.
The feelings of just one girl reached the people,
And everyone gave their powers little by little, eventually reviving Implanta.
Within this huge tree of life dwells the feelings of all inhabitants of this land.
Koko told that to the people and her feelings reached them,
And helped Implanta to regain its former power.

Usually, a song's feelings are made by a hymmnos designer or through requests for a scenario from specific people. The feelings of this song is thought of by Sasha. Some people might already understand this song's feelings just by reading it, but it's describing Cloche's attempts at bringing Metafalica to success. This song requests a huge amount of power from Infel Phira and thus the firm approval of a lot of IPDs, which may be made easier through empathy with Cloche's feelings.
==Explanation==
In the scene before this song, we used the "Co-co-na!" calls of fans recorded during the Akihabara Enta Festival 2009. Though none of the Metafalss people showed up in the game, the cooperation of a lot of IPD Reyvateil's feelings is required for the success of this METHOD, just like that day in the hall.
===Explanation of METHOD_HYMMELI/.'s protocol exchange===
The first thing executed by Hymmeli is something called protocol exchange, to connect Kaira to Infel Phira. Because Cocona was in the Third Tower when she sang and delivered her feelings to Infel Phira through Kaira, shouldn't Kaira and Infel Phira be connected already? You may think that, but that's not the case. Infel Phira recognizes Kaira as Cocona, and not as Kaira.
The processing power gained through Hymmeli far exceeds Cocona's capacity; it's enough to completely destroy her were she to accept it. IPDs are equipped with a facility called "Potential Omit", restricting the processing of powers that can destroy themselves. Thus, it is necessary for Infel Phira to see Cocona as Kaira instead and register that as the place to send power to in order to make the transfer successful. It's a complete different process from Cocona's usage of proxies in normal song magic.
The proxy that sings Hymmeli and sends the commands to Infel Phira is Kaira, but recognized as Cocona by Infel Phira. Kaira acts as an intermediate in the transfer of power, and from Infel Phira's point of view, "Cocona" and "Kaira" exists as separate beings in the exact same physical address.
Also, the protocol code looks like this.
INFEL PHIRA
=>ADDR:0x121:3461:3270::jYEwA KAIRA/.
Delivering from Infel Phira to address :0x121:3461:3270: Kaira!
An address is the physical focus coordinate of this world, to put it in modern terms, it's something like a GPS address. Also, Hymmeli's feelings were programmed by Sasha. Apparently she familiarized herself with Cocona when she made it.

[Hatred]
I shall destroy everything, I shall reset everything
Shaking my body, I'll end this here
To head towards the next world of supreme bliss, let's purge everything
I'll say goodbye to this painful world
With my heart full of respect and love, I shall destroy
Thanks for everything until now
And I dearly regret our inability to share
Because you're my precious children
I want to stay with you till the endless future
But I have my duty
I'll do anything to ensure the survival of this world
And bring it to further prosperity
[Love]
My adorable children
My children, with whom I have lived a few hundred million years
Is it due to my immaturity that we were not able to understand each other
Or are my children simply too rebellious
You prideful lifeforms
Believing that you can live on despite shattering this motherly existence
Your pride shortened your lifespan
But to me, you're still my adorable children
So I want to at least see you to the end
And finish this with my own hands
I'll wipe out all of you, and I won't leave a single one alive
I'll not stay my hand or yield my heart
For my beloved children.
==Footnote==
When we first thought of the idea of having a conversation with the Planet's Will, we didn't know how to go about it. In Ar tonelico 2, the maidens had to unite the feelings of everyone in order to execute Metafalica, but that was a conversation made of words. But we're talking about the planet here. I can't help but think "talking with it and moving its heart" only scratches the surface of things, so I made it into a much more straightforward and honest form - communication through "feelings".
==Explanation==
This is the song that Ciela, the aggregate conscience of Ar Ciel's Will, crafted in the last battle. Of course, this is not a hymmnos dependent upon the Towers. Dozens and hundreds of high-order lifeforms came together and used the tiny Dynamic H-Waves in nature as a medium, unleashing more power than an amplifier tower can manage. Their feelings contain not only anger, but also love for humankind.
==XaaaCi: Regarding the planet's will==
XaaaCi is the song that the planet's true will sings. When we say true will, we don't mean every single personality in the planet. To put it into a democratic perspective, it's "the will of the group as a whole if more than half of the personalities within agree". In other words, there are some personalities (wills of the planet) that disagree with the true will of the planet. Most representative of those would be people like Saki and Filament, who are the Planet's Wills that descended to the earth. (Of course, some wills that didn't appear also disagreed). The ball that was thrown in the XaaaCi. fight contained the feelings of everyone in the world. The feelings of people above ground mixed with the feelings of Saki & co. through the hotline that Havestasya XP and Vista connected, and became a ball. By throwing those feelings and memories at the partial manifestation of the planet's true will, Zzx_Ru, they can seep into the planet's will as feelings, not words.

Hey, everyone
Regenerate us
With the power of everyone
Surely we can be fine again
Let us regenerate ourselves
With our children

For a long time,
We clashed with our children in sadness and anger
But if we could begin understand each other little by little
We shall forgive everything and regenerate

I feel that our children are changing this world
From one that destroys its future to one that creates it

Those children promised to us
That we shall walk together from hereon
What's done is done, and what's come will come

Let's sing this song of regeneration with everyone
Our songs have the power to change this world
We can revive the stars of hope, and make them decorate the night skies
Let's remember that and make our hearts into one

Hey, can you hear them?
The joyful voices of everyone

Everyone is dancing and singing
A wonderful energy
Is filling this world!
(Love is filling this world)
[Ar_Ciel - the Wills of the Planet]
Let's rebuild all cycles and order
The ocean will draw near
Rain will fall, it will form a rainbow and return to the clouds
Wind will blow, and leaves shall stir
Fruits will fall and satisfy the animals
Then death will come, and bugs shall regenerate from that
Remember! We-
Come, azure, fill us!
Like a drop of tear
Come, blue, regenerate!
To pierce the sky and reach the high heavens
Come, life, be moved!
All those difficulties to come
Can be overcome by our children
Let's not forget our past mistakes
Make those feelings into seeds
And spread them afar in this world
Nurturing the tree of feelings, connecting its roots
Our hearts resonate with each other
The Songs are the seeds of life
==Explanation==
From the planet to humans, from humans to the planet...This is the song of world regeneration crafted from the conversation between the planet Ar Ciel and the humans. The ending is a medley of the "Singing Hill" songs from the three games. I think that the planet regeneration in this game is made possible by the feelings of the people in the previous game and the one before that. Please reach the ending and listen to this.
