Cocona Bartel from Ar Tonelico 2

So as you can see, this song is the namesake for this blog and it means a lot to me. Cocona only really got two hymns, but the way they both sound resonate with me so much; something about the hard drums and intense singing of someone who is so small but has so much feeling just hits me right here, man. Honestly this song got me through a really dark time, particularly my favorite lines in the song that I feel solidified my identity for me when I really needed it: Although my power and my voice will die off someday, the determination swirling within my heart is eternal. I want to protect forever everything I ever believed in and loved.

To be totally candid, I always related to Cocona and associated myself with her, in a series with lots of lewd moments and needless sexual tones (AT isn’t exactly unique in that sense when it comes to JRPGs), which was always hard for me to look past when identifying with a character as a teenager. But while I loved Cocona because she didn’t really get much fanservice, and for her snark knight, tomboyish, determined qualities, it was mostly her general compassion and thankfulness for everyone in her life. Granted I only really know her character in Qoga and this drama CD.

Anyway just listen. It pumps you up and makes you want to fight for yourself and for what you love.

Commissioned by my friend. Thank you~~

I realized I never properly uploaded this since I finished this a few years ago, so here it is!

This is Cocona Bartel of Ar tonelico 3's continuity as a singing holy maiden. Cocona is a IPD reyvateil so the lyrics in the background is in the New Testament of Pastalie hymmnos dialect.

Hymmnos is a constructed language from the world of Ar Ciel. The language is commonly practiced by reyvateils, a special race of people who can transform sounds into energy.
