A. A.’s First Holy Night- A MementoMori Tale

During the days leading up to the Holy Night Festival in The Duchy of Fran, everyone wants to participate in a gift exchange- except A. A. Will she ever find the perfect present for Mertillier?

Snow fell like petals from a cherry blossom tree onto the little country known as The Duchy of Fran. It was winter, and everyone was looking forward to The Holy Night Festival- a time when everyone shared the spirit with loved ones. And this year wouldn’t be any different- girls known as witches were hurrying about the streets looking for beautiful gifts to share with their friends and family.

“Oh, big sis would love that!”, said a little girl with blue hair in pigtails and a teddy bear, pointing to a massive stuffed penguin in the store window. “Master would definitely be wanting that!” Another little girl said as she pointed to a beautifully crafted sled in another window. Their names were Soltina and Nina- and they weren’t alone. They were accompanied by their friends, looking for stuff for the gift exchange.

But one girl stood at the shop window and sighed. Her red eyes shone like rubies, and she had a gear for a halo. Her name was A. A., which is short for “Artificial Angel”- and she was a Homunculus. This was to be her very first Holy Night Festival, but she had no idea on what it was. “Maybe the Professor would like this?”, she said, pointing to what looked like a chemistry kit. “I’m sure that whatever you give Mertillier, she’d love it.” Replied the Duke of Fran.

“But I want it to be from the heart.” Little A said as she held the Duke’s hand. “I’m sure you’ll find the perfect something.”, he replied as he helped up A. A. onto his shoulders and they began to walk around the town. First, they came across Rean and her friend group at a market stall. “I think we should get some new watercolors for Cherna, a new watering can for Natasha, and probably a stationery set for Amour!” Rean said as she looked through it.

“I don’t think the Professor would like any of these.” A. A. Replied as she let out a sad sigh. “Don’t lose hope. I’m sure we’ll find something that she’ll love.” The Duke replied as he and Little A walked towards the next stall. There was Queen Amleth of The Kingdom of Vyde, who had found a beautiful new chess set for Ophelia, her faithful knight. And not just that, Florence from the Holy See of Hainz had picked up a snowglobe for Fortina. “Hmmmm… don’t see anything.” A. A. said as she moved onto the stall.

Finally, they came to the fountain in the square, which had frozen over. Carol was there, working on a scrapbook that she was making for Rusalka. “Oh! Didn’t see you there, Senpai. And you too, Little A.” She replied cheerfully as one of the butterflies landed on the scrapbook. “May I see your scrapbook?” The Homunculus girl replied. “Absolutely. I’m almost done with it, though.” Carol replied as she let A. A. Flip through the scrapbook.

After finishing the currently incomplete scrapbook, A. A. Felt a spark light up inside her. “I know what to give the Professor.” She said excitedly. “Thanks, Carol! Happy Holidays!” The Duke replied. “Anytime!!” Called Carol as she wrote down what had happened in her notebook. Back at The Duke’s estate, he and A. A. Worked together on Mertillier’s present. With crafting supplies and a photograph of Mert and Little A, they worked together to make a gift from the heart.

Later that night, everyone gathered at the mansion to exchange presents. There was a giant penguin doll for Lunalynn, a brand new glittery pair of dancing shoes for Hathor, and a new fire proof camera for Valeriede. Mertillier gave her present to Little A- a brand new set of winter gear to protect her from the cold. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it, Little A?” Asked Mertillier. “Professor, I have something for you, too.” A. A. Replied, showing a box wrapped in shiny paper. Excitedly; the Professor opened it up. Inside was a picture of her and the Homunculus she had grown to love like a daughter, framed with rhinestones and leftover scraps of foil, it was simple but beautiful.

Not long after that, the Professor and her Homunculus daughter went outside to watch the falling snow. “Thank you, Little A. Happy holidays.” She said tenderly as she let A. A. side hug her. “Happy holidays, Professor.” A. A. Said in return. Now Little A knew why everyone loved the Holy Night Festival so much.

Wakana’s new song “Flag” revealed!

It has just been announced that Wakana is in charge of singing the so called “Lament” (= original character theme song) "Flag" of "Florence" who appears in the new RPG "MementoMori" for smartphones! Florence's CV MV is available on the official MementoMori YouTube Channel featuring Wakana’s song "Flag" (Song Vocals: Wakana / CV: Ayaka Suwa).

▼ "MementoMori" Official Website   https://mememori-game.com/ You can download the game in your local app store (iOS). All roads lead to our “Goodbye” Boasting an epic soundtrack that can turn the world of gaming on its head, and some of the most stunning designs ever seen in a game, Bank of Innovation’s newest title, MementoMori, is finally here! Songs performed by many renowned artists enhance the rich world of MomentoMori. It is recommended to play while hearing earphones.

The full version of "'Flag" is scheduled to be released on May 2 17:45 (JST) on the official Memento Mori YouTube Channel. Please look forward to it!

The FULL ENGLISH version (by another singer) is already available in case you want to get a feel for the composition.

Note: Ohhh, so THAT’s the news. I was hoping for an album 😂 BUT, this is pretty neat too!! Already LOVE the epic sound of the song. Very reminiscent of the typical YK sound. Wonder who was in charge of the composition...Glad she has her first tie-up but I am not sure how popular the game is/will be. Hoping this is gonna provide some exposure for Wakana. And this is not the new song that was revealed last year during her Billboard Lives so maybe we will get a new album after all XD

Flag〜It’s Finally Out‼︎〜

The other day, I went to Billboard Live Yokohama to see Yoshiko Hanzaki's 5th anniversary concert! Satoshi Takebe-san was accompanying her on piano! 😊🌟 Such a gorgeous performance with a strings quartet! ️ Here’s the original drink, it was called "Shizuko and Mitsuo's Wedding Anniversary 48" (seems like it was referring to the wedding anniversary of her parents 🥰💕). It was delicious ♪ ↑ The second picture was taken by my manager. She is much better at taking pictures. It was my first time after a long time attenting one of Hanzaki-san’s live performances, I kept crying from beginning to end ... 😭✨ I have an affliction where I will immediately break into tears  as soon as I hear Hanzaki-san’s singing voice *laughs* Really, she sounded wonderful ... After the performance, I went to see her backstage and my eyes were still swollen. I had to laugh when I heard Hanzaki-san’s speaking voice for the first time *laughs*🤣 We had a lot of fun! 

Hello, this is Wakana (0￣ ▽ ￣0) / 

I'm worried that I might have scared awayHanzaki-san... (* ´-`) Takebe-san was laughing from somewhere was laughing from somewhere in the back ☆ 

On a side note, the full version of my Lament (character-themed song) "Flag" for the character "Florence" in the new RPG "MementoMori" was released yesterday! ️ \\\\ ٩ ('ω') و //// 

▼ [MV] "Flag" (Song. Wakana) (Full Ver.) [MementoMori]  https://youtu.be/3E3v-SdxVW0 

Three days ago, we released a special version of the song combined with Ayaka Suwa's voice over, I was very happy to receive many impressions and comments from everyone! !! (;;) ✨ And I'm also incredibly happy to receive a lot of kind comments on the full version of the song which was released yesterday 😭✨ Thank you! 

I already mentioned it on Instagram but I recorded this song back in September. I've had to be quiet for half a year, it was really painful 😂 I was dying to tell you as quickly as possible 😂 Finally the news are out, I'm so happy! !! !! \ (^ O ^) / My feelings for this song were really profound and all-encompassing, I felt as if I was making an entire album. It was just too much *laughs*🤣. I may have put too much pressure on myself challenging this song, no matter if I was awake or asleep, the song was constantly on my mind, I had a hard time coming to terms with what I wanted to do with it. Still, I decided it was most important to put all my aspirations into the song in order to best express the music ! \\\ ٩ (๑` ^ ´๑) ۶ //// 

During the recording, I put all of myself into the singing! Thinking back on it, I was quite nervous, it almost felt like it was the day of a concert (´ω ｀). To tell you the truth, the harmony in this song is extremely difficult, I had to practice so much to make it sound smooth, I don’t think I can do it again🤣🤣 Truly, the harmony was a real struggle.  

But overall, the recording was really fun and when I think back on it, I realise that I felt super empowered that day (why?). Anyway, I recorded it with the thought of wanting to sing it in front of all of you. Back then I didn’t think too much of it but I feel like I got sick when I came home.

I'm really grateful to have gotten the opportunity to do this recording 🤗💕 I am glad I can add some colour via music to a great work which is a team effort of so many different people. May it be part of the "joy" and "happiness" of many people 🌟 Please enjoy the song together with the game! !! ((o (^ ∇ ^) o)) 

Well then, I will leave it around here! Until next time~ ☆ (*'▽' *) /

【MV】Flag（Song by Wakana）FULL VERSION

Wakana is in charge of singing the “Lament” (= original character theme song) “Flag” of “Florence” who appears in the new RPG “MementoMori” for smartphones! Finally the full version is available. Be sure to check it out! 

▼ “MementoMori” Official Website   https://mememori-game.com/

Note: Ohhhh, as expected, Wakana’s version has so much more ooomph and expression than the rather lackluster English version. Her inflection (?) in the first half of the verses is really nice, love how the words seem to be embraced gently by her lips as she vocalises them. Everything from the bridge onwards is so beautiful. Particularly like how she uses a a very tender voice for the chorus lines right after the bridge and then transitions into this super powerful singing style. Overall, I’m quite happy with this song. This traditional Chinese sound goes so well with Wakana’s voice. 

2022/05/02 Instagram post by Wakana

It was already announced the other day but today the full version of my new song “Flag” - the “Lament” (character-themed song) for the character "Florence" who appears in the new RPG "MementoMori" - was released on YouTube today~! ️🥳🎉🎉 The recording was in September last year so I'm really happy to finally reveal it to you 🥰💕 

The feelings I was trying to put into my singing were so profound that I had to tackle this song for serveral days in a row while struggling to find the right sound for it. Eventually I was happy with the result and that’s what ended up becoming the official version. On the day of that recording, I used all the strength within myself and ended up being so exhausted that I don't even remember when I got home that day. 

I'm really happy to be able to participate in the making of this game which is created thanks to the efforts of so many people ☺️✨ I hope you enjoy the music as well as the game 🌟🤗
