[Filler] アクエリア舞う空.

来た、キタ、キタ━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━!!!!!!!

イヴの詩篇 (lit. Eve's Poem Book), Aquarion EVOL's Original Soundtrack album featuring the resident love triangle Kagura, Mikono and Amata. Fresh off the oven a few days ago so go ahead and Google it to find sites that host it! 
Personal recommendation 自分のベストお勧め is アクエリア舞う空 (Skies of Aquaria. Lit. The Sky Where Aquaria Flies), composed by the ever talented Yoko Kanno and performed by Little Singers of Tokyo (LSOT). This song appears quite a few times in the anime itself firstly as the background music of the movie Skies of Aquaria played in the cinema where Amata work in episode one, seemingly performed by Alicia. Skies of Aquaria also appeared prominently in Altair, the world cursed of eventual death because the extinction of female population as Alicia is also regarded as the true Eve over there. I shouldn't spoil the story too much for those who have no previous knowledge of this series but the song didn't fail to bring tears or lump in my throat every time l listen to it. The heart tugging accompanying music and the hauntingly beautiful yet anguished chorus. I have the feeling that this song is performed by a boy (Not that I don't know a boy's voice can be beautiful too) but never mind about that. I wonder if there's any full lyric for this but here you go, Skies of Aquaria, アクエリア舞う空. (Btw the still featuring a lady that looks like floating away? That's Alicia, the "Eve".)



*Additional Content* All hail for fan-generated translation! Finally someone on the net has transcribe and translated the lyric which I will reproduce over here. We fans will never let each other day! Why this belated update? Because I just watch the penultimate episodes (25th) as well as 24th of Aquarion Evol and boy, how heart tugging it was. Plenty of Greek mythological references in the lyric which I will enclose with a Wikipedia link.

白い予言の森
事象の彼方を超えて
シュムプレガデスの巌(いわお)の間
眠りの家の門
風に哭く塩の柱
胸の内にある孤独は

A white forest of prediction
Passing over the distance of phenomenon
between the two crags of the Symplegades
The gates to a house of rest
The loneliness inside my heart
is a pillar of salt crying into the wind

凍てつく虚空の調べ
時果つるアトランディアへ
千切れながら待ち続ける
千年 千里 刹那

I sing the melody of a frozen empty sky
to an Atlandia at the end of its time
As it disintegrates I continue to wait
The instant of a thousand years, a thousand miles

アクエリア アクエリア
私の庭に降りてきて
想い届かぬときも 私を強くする
アクエリア アクエリア
いつか盗まれた炎
こころ未来を駆け巡る
黒の深淵を超え
迎えに来て

Aquaria Aquaria
Descend into my garden
The times when my feelings can’t reach you make me stronger
My heart circles the future of
the flames that were stolen that day
Cross over the black abyss
and come and find me

現世(うつしよ)を逃れて
携えし灯(あかし)の絶え
言葉少なに異郷をゆけば

When I escape the present world
and briefly visit a strange land
the light held in my hand dies out

リデュス ウリウス
アリアドナ
ガリアノクティウム フィロス
プロメテウス

regis julius
gallia noctium philos

久遠届く 星の旅路
歌は 愛の 鎖

The journey of a star that will reach eternity
My song is a chain of love

アクエリア アクエリア
石のしとねに花移れど
あの日の約束載せ
鳥は海をゆく
アクエリア アクエリア
尽きぬ奢りの唇
千年先でと抱きしめた
あなの優しい嘘

Aquaria Aquaria
Each time the flowers spread on the bed of stone
the promise of that day is carried on
and the birds travel the seas
Aquaria Aquaria
One thousand years ago
you embraced me with unfadingly full lips
Your gentle lies

クエリア アケエリア
私の庭に降りて来て
想い届かぬときも
二人を強くする
アクエリア アクエリア
幾夜仰ぎ見た星座
こころ未来を駆け巡る
その腕に眠るまで
こころ眠るまで
未来を駆け巡る
黒の深淵を超え
迎えに来て

Aquaria Aquaria
Descend into my garden
The times when our feelings cannot reach one another
makes us stronger
Aquaria Aquaria
I gazed up at the constellations for countless nights
My heart revolves around the future
until I can sleep in those arms
Until my heart can know rest
I revolve around the future
Cross over the black abyss
and come and find me

Epilogue: Futility. Does miracle happen if one put his heart in it? Is there any miracle at all? This is hard. So hard.
