Posted on July 25, 2014 - 5:54 pm by Rekka Alexiel

This just in! It was just officially announced in today’s issue of Big GanGan that a novelized version of DOD3 will be available on August 28! In the meantime, you can pre-order it from the Square Enix e-STORE from the link listed below!!

Just like the novelized version of DOD1, this book is also written by Eishima Jun and supervised by Yoko Taro, featuring a white stylized illustration of Zero and Mikhail on the cover, illustrated by Fujisaka Kimihiko!

*** This very well may be the specific timeline that directly connects DOD3 with DOD1!!!

When and where were such things like “contracts”, “The Cult of Watchers”, and the “Seal” created? Where did the four Apostles come from, and where are the five Utautai sisters going? Where might it possibly lead, this new branch through time that the Utautai traitor Zero and dragon Mikhail tread upon?

World Inside – Chronology

Posted on May 31, 2014 - 6:56 pm by Rekka Alexiel

I’m working on the translation of the entire timeline that was published in the World Inside book that came with the DOD 10th Anniversary Box. This is going to take a while, so I will update this periodically until it’s finished.

I didn’t like how the table displayed on this blog, so I created a separate page with the Chronology alone. I will update any further information to this page:

DOD3 Piano Score Book – Now on Sale!

Posted on May 28, 2014 - 3:37 pm by Rekka Alexiel

I just received notice that my copy of the piano scorebook has been shipped and I will receive it in a couple days. It will probably come tomorrow when I am at the final concert venue at the National Stadium, with L’Arc〜en〜Ciel closing out the event, in which case it will be redelivered the following day–Friday.

I’m really excited for the Accompaniment pieces because I can give this to the wonderful guys at High Pitch (a live house/bar that I frequent) for Open Mic night. If I end up singing one of the DOD3 songs, I’ll try to record it and upload for people to laugh at. <3
