Three main parts, frequently singing different things at the same time, and often singing with different timing even when singing the same thing. If you're looking for something complicated, this will not disappoint. The (S:) parts are audially centered and sung by Noriko Mitose (as Shurelia), the (M:) parts right of center and sung by Akiko Shikata (as Misha), and the (A:) parts left of center and sung by Haruka Shimotsuki (as Aurica).

There are some beautiful concepts in here, too. Hatred withering away to be replaced with flowers of forgiveness, unity in diversity, radiance that shines upon people we don't even know the names of just as much as those we know and love... that's a future worth striving for.

¹ According to the lyrics booklet, both Aurica and Misha sing 一つの (hitotsu no, one) here. However, I've also seen several sites claiming that one of them sings いくつもの (ikutsu mo no, a great number of) instead, and I believe it also sounds more like that. The concept fits, too. By overlapping "many" with "one", it would build on the preceding lines about how varied and different we are, while at the same time affirming that we're also all the same in the ways that really matter.

The Hymmnos

Keep in mind that I'm working from a Japanese description of how the language works and Japanese descriptions of the terms. Translations of translations always tend to suffer somewhat in quality...

Refer to my brief Hymmnos reference for general information on how the language works.

If you have the Hymmnos font installed, the headings below should appear in the Hymmnos script as seen in the game. Hey, why not? The font is freely available from the Hymmno Server, where most of my information on Hymmnos comes from. The site is mostly in Japanese, but the download link itself is in English. If you don't have the font, the headings will simply appear as large Latin text.
