Artist's Comment
Short ver.
Sung by Mitsuki Nakae, who will be participating in the Atelier series for the first time! The bass is played by Dani and the violins are by Kei Ono. This is the first time they played my songs. The song title is very predictable for an alchemy game, so it may be hard to use. But since this is a dream team game, it can work! (Achiwa)
Full ver.
The song starts off with a plain festival and then shifts to the title theme of Atelier Marie. There is a melody from the "My Favorite Picture Book" in there and the lyrics have excerpts from titles and song names. The parts past the second part have lots of excerpts from the Salburg trilogy. I hope you can figure out what they are! (Achiwa)
