This was the very first Ar Tonelico hymn I came to hear. It bewitched me from my first listen. Now, seven to eight years later, finally, I have led the charge to Platina, and I have heard this in game. Nothing could have prepared me for this. To anyone who thinks this song is amazing when heard in isolation, I beg of you : play the game to experience it. I have _never_ borne witness to a more satisfying RPG fight.
I swear to god, this can't get more epic. I remember the first encounter with ELMA-DS, when Misha started to sing I was like "NO F*CKING WAY! O.o" Best boss theme ever.
@@alvarosolano3600 No, there's only one release for Ar Tonelico 1. It's on the PS2, and even though the English localization is not the best, it's still acceptable. Ar Tonelico 2 is the one where the localization got so awful it had to be redone from scratch.
I love ar tonelico, and this song just always gives me goosebump whenever it plays on my playlist while running or walking. Thank u for uploading with lyrics and translation.
WOW!. both Misha's and Aurica's versions are awesome. they both have a different feel and flavor but the goal is the same!! this one is more heart pumping! Aurica's is more waiting to exhale! Wonder what Shurelia's would have sounded like...?
Man, Misha and Aurica had always been on kind of equal ground to me, but when Misha began singing THIS, she surmounted Aurica by a leap and a bound. Oh, god.
This comment is kind of legendary to me, because I first read it before even knowing who Misha and Aurica were. Now, having completed Ar Tonelico 1, I can say that, even as someone who _does not_ at all like Misha, this song *obliterates* Aurica's version in every way possible.
@blara2401 not to pick an argument with a years old comment but i feel like thats REALLY Selling Aurica's extraction of EXEC_PURGER short. It's a much more emotional, heartfelt performance in comparison to Misha's Extracting, which while intense and Determined in feeling, feels quite a bit more impersonal too. I dunno, i love Akiko Shikata's work, but i think the choice here is a lot tighter, and if you had to tell me to choose one by music alone, id still select Aurica
Watching WatchMojo's countdown of boss battle music: #5 - Sephiroth's One-Winged Angel! Me - WHAT?! How in the hell is any other boss battle music better than One Winged Angel?! #4 - Exec_paja Misha's version. Me - ........... I stand corrected.
Sigh, how I would love to see an actual ceremonial shrine performance of this song. Fires blazing behind the musicians, fog enveloping the stage, and as a shadowy figure with red glowing eyes surrounded by smoke appears behind the dancers.
@mishaklein Oh, I forgot to answer the second question. The translations are all done by me. I always feel that I have a long way to master the languages and translation XD
@mishaklein Thanks so much for your encouraging comment :D To be exact, most of my translation of Hymmnos lines is, in fact, "Japanese-to-English" translation ;-) I usually translate the official "translation" of Hymmnos lyrics in the CD booklets instead of translating Hymmnos lines themselves. You memorized all those songs?! That's so amazing! You must be very talented and love Ar Tonelico songs a lot :D I'm looking forward to listening to you singing them. Good luck with your recording!
@AbstractGarden Oh, so you understand Japanese! That's great!!! Yep, I memorized them all~~ xD Believe me, in my phone, there's more than 30 Ar Tonelico songs and I listen to them everyday, especially EXEC_with.METHOD_METAFALICA/. My friends and family even say : "What the heck with those songs, is that some song to praise devil or what?" They said that since they didn't know the meaning, they didn't know how good Ar Tonelico songs are!! =3= Thanks!! ^^ I upload soon as I can
My singable lyrics! I'll initiate the Rite (And I'll release the power) This song, PURGER (And initialize your life)... I'll play the godly song PURGER And end your connection to tower! (I'll halt all energy output to you) I'll play the godly song PURGER And completely drive you out! I'll dance (I'll dance) At the monsters' feast (wicked place) I'm a dancing Miko, pleasure for eyes (I'm an offering, a sacrifice to gods) Now I'll dance always and faithfully, reflecting the light, even at the world's end [If] Exhausted, darkness will swallow me and drag me deep inside, into where all those demons hide If not, I'll pray to gods to keep me breathing and alive And I'll offer up my purest song! Purge the skies, Purge the earth Purge our world And our bodies Oh, the heavenly gods And the earthly gods And the gods of the whole world This my prayer: eliminate all the foul sins and bad karma and all darknesses! Get lost in the sacred music, demons, And close your eyes now, unresting spirits Fall asleep now and go to place from you all came In the tomb where you belong, sleep eternally - I'll close you off The king of underworld shall judge those who dream! I'll dance at the monsters' feast (I'll sing at this tempting feast) I'm a dancing Miko, pleasure for eyes (I'll sing this melodies for you) Now- (I'll play the godly song PURGER And end your connection to tower!) [I'll halt all energy output to you] (x2) I'll dance always and faithfully, reflecting the light, even at the world's end! (Purge the skies, purge the earth Purge our world and our bodies)... (Oh, the heavenly gods and the earthly gods and the gods of the whole world)... My dance is the reflection of world's sadness - that's my fate...
Kya! Good video as usual!! Thanks for posting this, I truly love this song. It's as if Misha dances and kicks the evil spirits' butts xDD Anyway, may I know what program you use... and... How you get the translation??
Although I have to wonder if Tsuchiya is a bit of a troll when it comes to the song lyrics, given that he never wanted to reveal the Hymmnos lyrics to this song (all of the translations out there in the net, might it be this excellent one from AbstractGarden or my own one, have only guesses for the Hymmnos parts), and the same goes for the official translations of the corrupted Pastalie lines from Sublimation ~ ee wassa sos yehar. I mean, we never got even what words formed these lines....
@@narutohinataashgaara Hymmnos is an artificial language, and serves as the in-game means of spell casting. Characters with the ability, known as Reyvatales, can sing things into (and out of) existence. The language itself is actually a form of computer code which calls on a device called a song server to execute the desired "program." In Hymmnos, Hymnnos means "song."
@AbstractGarden O_O..... OMZ!!! You're so clever! I'm still practicing with WMM and now I'm trying to make Ar Tonelico COVER (hell yeah, you won't believe when I say I memorized all songs in Ar Tonelico from 1 to 3 xD) ... *currently making EXEC_HARVESTASYA/. COVER* lol~~ xDDD Anyway, you're video is unique, and I must say not many people could make good videos like yours~
@mishaklein I use some of CS4 Master Collection programs: Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After FX (I started to use this one last week.) In combination, they're just plain awesome. I owe them a lot when making the videos; some people are capable of making marvelous lyrics videos only with Windows Movie Maker, but for me, it would be virtually impossible to make such stuffs without these programs. Of course, CS Master Collection is very, very expensive... but worth the cost ;-)
I started playing Ar Tonelico because RUclips recommended this video to me, I really appreciate that because I love Ar Tolenico and now I'm going to play the 2nd one
I already knew this song was a higher level of good when I listened to it. I just didn't know HOW good until I saw the translated lyrics. Play it (with translations) for any Catholic priest and then watch him mentally kick himself for not evangelizing Japan when they had the chance. Mishaklein: Devil Music? Aurica's is practically a catechism by comparison. The words definitely make a huge difference.
MrConservativeGamer lol Catholics DID evangelize to Japan. Look up St. Francis Xavier 😉 While Aurica’s Purger is thematically Catholic, Misha’s is Shinto, Japan’s home religion. I think of it more like a cultural homage more than anything else TBH. I will say through that I really like the energy in this one much better; it’s a pity. As a former cantor and choir member, I feel like they could’ve done a lot more cool stuff with Aurica’s.
@@rainwitchansy Aurica's Purger is faintly Catholic but has Indonesian-style instrumentation. Misha's version has everything for it, with the proper theming and instrumentation to match the religious tones of the text.
me too. I love boss battle music. expeally the end boss. the music amps up and you know the world's in the balance if you don't win. I haven't played this game but I love this song. I hope to buy the game soon. if it's still out that is.

very nice job. i've been waiting to see your take on this.
My singable lyrics!
I'll initiate the Rite
(And I'll release the power)
This song, PURGER
(And initialize your life)...
I'll play the godly song PURGER
And end your connection to tower!
(I'll halt all energy output to you)
I'll play the godly song PURGER
And completely drive you out!
I'll dance (I'll dance)
At the monsters' feast (wicked place)
I'm a dancing Miko, pleasure for eyes
(I'm an offering, a sacrifice to gods)
Now
I'll dance always and faithfully, reflecting the light, even at the world's end
[If] Exhausted, darkness will swallow me and drag me deep inside, into where all those demons hide
If not, I'll pray to gods to keep me breathing and alive
And I'll offer up my purest song!
Purge the skies,
Purge the earth
Purge our world
And our bodies
Oh, the heavenly gods
And the earthly gods
And the gods of the whole world
This my prayer: eliminate all the foul sins and bad karma and all darknesses!
Get lost in the sacred music, demons,
And close your eyes now, unresting spirits
Fall asleep now and go to place from you all came
In the tomb where you belong, sleep eternally - I'll close you off
The king of underworld shall judge those who dream!
I'll dance at the monsters' feast
(I'll sing at this tempting feast)
I'm a dancing Miko, pleasure for eyes

Purge our world and our bodies)...
(Oh, the heavenly gods and the earthly gods and the gods of the whole world)...
My dance is the reflection of world's sadness - that's my fate...
The original are singable too. You just have some skill issue.
This song makes me feel like I'm confronting God himself!
Freddy Alejo you're not alone brother
yeah so goddamn epic
True feeling. My soul became really crazy at the chorus 😂
Nah, He's just the battery to my prayers. The Creator of the Planet.
Kya! Good video as usual!! Thanks for posting this, I truly love this song. It's as if Misha dances and kicks the evil spirits' butts xDD

It kind of goes beyond me that someone would create such a unique language and then hide what is said in it to the world.
What does Hymmnos mean?
And to make matters worse, this is one of the songs in which figuring out exactly what the Hymmnos choruses say is the hardest.
...Are you seriously asking that?

*glares at* You jinked it!
This is awesome
banger
bruh i search this almost 10 years.. i heard the song but didn't know the name..
is that an exorcism chant 0.0?
it's supposed to sound like that ! the title is purge though,very cool huh ^_^
Its a straight up shinto prayer
no, im not making this up
yukishakura sure looks like it
@@lilianchello coooool :O
I'm just glad I bought Melody of Elemia, though I only heard of the game cause of watchmojo
There are no dislikes. Let's keep it that way.
This is akiko shikata?
Five years late, but yes! I think Misha's was Shikata, while Aurica was Shimotsuki?
que esto un juego una novela que es exactamente ?
巫女起舞ing...
I don't know why, I prefer Misha over Aurica. Maybe it has to do something with this song?
I'd say yes
