■詩に込められた想い『謳う丘〜EXEC_HARVESTASYA/.』
それは山里の、小さな村での物語。
謳えば雨を呼び、豊穣をもたらす謳いの巫子
少女の名前はハーヴェスターシャ
ある日少女は少年に恋をした
村長の息子である少年ミュウ
二人は午後の丘、日の光の下で一緒に謳い奏でた
村長の息子ミュウには許嫁がいた
少女は其れを知りとても悲しんだ
しかし互いに其れには触れぬよう、二人の関係は続いた
二人は来る日も来る日も、日の光の下、一緒に謳い奏でた
そんなある日、それはつむじ風のように起きた
少年は病の床に伏した
その病は不可解きわまりなく、治る兆しもない
少女は悲しむ、少年の瞳を見られない日々を
少女の母は言った
遙か西にあるという「謳う丘」
そこに光臨するという詩の女神
必ず少年を助ける「詩」を女神は知っていることだろう
少女は決意する
「謳う丘」へたどり着くこと
一つの詩を謳い、二つの翼を纏い
少女は空を翔る、天高く、少年を想ひて
少女の旅は険しく過酷だった
水のない草原、知らない土地の人々
あるときは道に迷い途方に暮れ
あるときは獣に追いかけられ崖っぷちにたたされて
炎の詩、氷の詩、嵐の詩、竜巻の詩
巫子としての少女が彼女の道標となり、旅は続いていく
そんなある日、遂にたどり着く「謳う丘」
幾重もの天を突き刺す石の柱
その中心にそびえる天への階段
その階段をただ昇り、只ひたすら昇り
その祭壇に少女は佇んだ
お願い女神よ、少年を助ける詩を教えて
女神は彼女に微笑み、そして伝えた
少年を助けるための詩の魔法を
『好きです、貴方が…。ずっとずっと側にいたい』
少年は目を醒ます
その瞳は昔の少年そのもので
その身体も至って健康そのものになった
少女は少年の胸で、涙が枯れるまで泣き明かした
巫子の力がもたらした不思議な出来事
それは貴方と大切な人にも起こりえる不思議な出来事
本当に大切な人のために
貴方は何をしてあげられますか…?

■Feelings Contained in the Song: [Singing Hill -EXEC_HARVESTASYA/.]
This is a story that happened in a little village hidden in a mountain.
There once was a singing Priestess who could call forth rain and bring abundant crops.
She was a girl called Harvestasya.
One day, the girl fell in love with a boy.
He was the son of the village elder, his name was Myu.
The two of them spent their afternoons on the hills, singing and playing songs together under the sunlight.
As the village elder's son, Myu had a fiancee.
The girl knew so, and this made her very sad.
However, they both acted as if this didn't concern them at all and continued their relationship.
Day after day, they sang and played songs together under the sunlight.
But a certain day, an event as upsetting as a whirlwind happened.
The boy had fallen sick.
It was a completely inexplicable illness with no symptoms nor cure.
The girl was greatly saddened, and she spent many days unable to see his eyes.
The girl's mother then said.
There is said to be a place called the [Singing Hill] far to the west.
It is said that the Goddess of Songs descends there.
Surely, the Goddess would know of a [Song] that could save Myu.
So the girl decided
That she would reach the "Singing Hill"
She sang a Song, and clad in two wings,
She took flight to the lofty skies while keeping the boy in her thoughts.
Her journey was extremely harsh.
Meadows without water, people living in unknown lands.
At times she lost her way and didn't know how to reach her destination.
At times she was chased by beasts and had to escape them by climbing a cliff.
Song of Flame, Song of Ice, Song of Storm, Song of Tornado.
Using the Songs she knew from being a priestess as her guideposts, she continued her journey.
And a certain day, she finally arrived at the [Singing Hill]
It was a stone pillar that pierced the heavens through countless layers of clouds.
And in the middle stood a stairway that led to the Heaven.
She climbed that stairway, and focused only on continuing her climb
She reached an altar.
Oh Goddess, please teach me the Song to save the boy.
The Goddess smiled and taught her
The magical Song that would save Myu.
"I love you, I'll always love you... I want to be with you eternally..."
The boy woke up.
His eyes were as they had been all his life.
His body was the very picture of health once again.
The girl jumped into his chest and wept all night long, until her tears dried.
The Priestess' power has caused a series of miraculous events.
If you had a person that was truly important to you,
What things would you be willing to do
To cause miraculous events like these for their sake...?
