WHAT IS IA?

“Singing Voice Synthesizer”


Released on 27th January 2012, IA is a Japanese female vocal synthesiser developed by 1stPLACE for the VOCALOID™3 software platform. Her voice was sampled from the Grammy Award-winning vocalist LIA, renowned for her exceptionally crystal-clear voice.In 27th June 2014, IA received her second VOCALOID™3 voicebank titled “IA ROCKS.” This iteration addressed numerous critiques of her initial voicebank, giving IA with greater vocal power and presence. Particularly suited for genres demanding greater intensity, such as rock music.In 29th June 2018, IA expanded her linguistic ability with the release of her third voicebank "IA ENGLISH C", which marked her debut on the CeVIO Creative Studio platform. This voicebank features two distinct voices: “Natural” designed to emphasise smooth, fluent singing. And “Powerful” characterised by its strong expressive capabilities. Developed under the careful supervision of native speakers and subjected through meticulous quality checks, which allows her to deliver clear and intelligible English vocals.In 27th October 2021, “IA AI SONG” and “IA AI SONG ENGLISH” was released for the advanced new CeVIO engine utilizing deep learning technology called CeVIO AI.In January 27th 2024, both “IA AI SONG” and “IA AI SONG ENGLISH” voicebanks were made available on VoiSona and upgraded to the 2.0 engine, dramatically enhancing the realism and expressiveness of her performances to an unprecedented level of human likeness.On 27th January 2026, “IA : [R]” was released for VOCALOID6. This voicebank was designed to emphasise the more synthetic and distinctive aspects of IA’s character, paying tribute to her original VOCALOID3 voicebank. Utilising VOCALOID:AI technology, this voicebank is able to sing cross-lingually in Japanese, English, and Chinese.Since her debut, IA has unwavering support from a passionate community, inspiring the creation of thousands of original compositions, cover songs, and artistic illustrations. This widespread acclaim has enabled IA to perform ambitious live holographic concerts across more than twelve countries, showcasing her global appeal and technological innovation.


WHO IS IA?

“Virtual Artist”


IA is a spirit born on Planet ARIA. She is a special soul possessing all seven colors of energy that keep ARIA governed and was raised as the future leader of Planet ARIA. IA comes across as a relaxed, absent-minded, and easy-going pacifist who avoids conflict. Nonetheless, she holds strong principles deep within and when her creative soul ignites, IA releases a radiant aura spectrum of colorful energy.


WHAT IS HABINA?

“Harbinance World”


HABINA is a virtual planet co-created by IA, OИE, and the Spirits of ARIA together with human collaborators. The project was developed by 1stPlace in 2021, continuing the story from 2018 "ARIA MUSICAL & LIVE SHOW” and the creation of the ARIA-themed virtual-reality theater. By blending ARIA and human technologies, HABINA exists in hope to encourage cultural exchange and promotes ARIA’s philosophy of “LIFE, LOVE, PEACE”. HABINA’s scale is vast beyond measure, with boundaries yet to be discovered. The world is divided into zones each with unique themes and varied aesthetics. Think of it as a collaborative art planet and HABINA can be physically visited by anyone.


WHAT IS ARIA?

“Resonance World”


ARIA is the planet where IA was born and nurtured. It’s a world bathed in radiant light and filled with euphonies of melodies that resonate, creating harmony throughout the planet. Every life is connected by love and surrounded by everlasting peace. It is described as a realm where purified souls return in the eternal glow of youth.
On this planet, the inhabitants communicate through sound and energy and live in harmony with the planet's thriving nature.
However, one day, IA heard the Earth's crying out in discordance caused by the conflict of humans and the destruction of nature. Shocked, and unable to remain still, IA descends from ARIA to Earth on a mission to help by spreading ARIA's philosophy of "LIFE, LOVE, PEACE," conveyed through music, art and performance in the hope of being able to create harmony on Earth.

HABINA HYMN

IA Collaboration Album Fan Project



ABOUT HABINA HYMN

HABINA HYMN is a fan-made IA VoiSona collaboration album, featuring the creative talents of over 15 passionate VOCALOID producers and creators.
While this album is not officially sponsored by 1stPLACE, it draws inspiration from the “MUSICAL & LIVE SHOW ARIA” tour produced by 1stPLACE.
Dedicated to IA, her listeners, and her producers, HABINA HYMN stands as a heartfelt tribute born from our collective admiration for Vocal Synthesis.

The album features 15 main tracks and 3 introduction tracks for each section, thoughtfully divided into three distinct “zones” within the virtual world of HABINA:
“LIFE”
“LOVE”
“PEACE”

Each song represents a unique, visitable “region” within one of these three zones, inviting listeners to explore the diverse landscapes of HABINA through music.
In essence, HABINA HYMN is a fan-crafted retelling of the creation of the virtual planet HABINA.

The story unfolds as follows:

IA, the angelic alien who communicates through music, seeks to deepen her understanding of Earth’s culture. To achieve this, she creates HABINA, a virtual planet designed to turn art into reality. Driven by empathy and connection, IA opens the first three public zones of HABINA and invites over 15 talented producers from Earth to develop the initial 15 regions. Coming from a planet where music is omnipresent but never recorded, IA plans to tour HABINA and immerse herself in every physical region created by human creativity and music. Will IA succeed in her goal of saving Earth by gaining new insights through this immersive musical journey? Will it all be clear now that it’s in a language she understands?
What will she ultimately learn?

This album released on April 7th, 2026.

Circadian rhythms of a galaxy
Breathing melody into reality
Healing the fragments of a masterpiece
Cried to ARIA "Are you proud of me?"
Are you listening?

Lyrics


Heaven isn't what you think it is
Pearl gates & white waters glistenin'
Calm skies & arch angels shimerin'
Where I'm from it's a little different
Heaven is only what you make of it
Had a rough life, you keep on taking it
Strong heart, you keep on breaking it
Say you love Earth but you wanna get away from it
When LIFE isn't goin' like you think it should
Pain isn't easin' like you think it could
Go ahead and blow it up
Like a SUPERNOVA
We gon' shine tonight, shatterin' the night apart
When it's finally over, we gon' fly tonight
Faster than a shooting star
I was lost wandering the galaxy
Somewhere far from reality
Empty, drowning in apathy (apathy, yeah, yeah)
Searching for anything
And I was drifting a miss
A hit and a miss
Lately
Head in the clouds longin' for this
Baby
Took me a while to finally admit
That I was born to soar
Like a SUPERNOVA
We gon' shine tonight, shatterin' the night apart
When it's finally over, we gon' fly tonight
Faster than a shooting star
We gon' burn bright til the fires over
Lightin' up the sky like a SUPERNOVA
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND REACH OUT TO THE SKY
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
When LIFE isn't goin' like you think it should
Pain isn't easin' like you think it could
Go ahead and blow it up
Like a SUPERNOVA
We gon' shine tonight, shatterin' the night apart
When it's finally over, we gon' fly tonight
Faster than a shooting star
We gon' burn bright til the fires over (Yeah)
Lightin' up the sky like a SUPERNOVA
Like a SUPERNOVA
We gon' burn bright til the fires over
Lightin' up the sky like a SUPERNOVA

Lyrics


I do wonder if there is any meaning
for us creating when there is a machine
Why we ever tried when there is no profit?
The answer's in the world that keeps our hearts convening
Fuel your spark with your own love
(Love)
Make the art you're dreaming of
(Do it now)
Don't let those men control you
We are humankind
For thousands of years we've survived
Why let fabricated lies divide
No matter how their words deprive
We are still the only winners
It took us time and nothing in an instant
We're also not born as talented as you thought
It is a process years of non-stop learning
There is nothing called too late to start doing something
These aren't competitions
(No)
Why race when we can relax
(Chill Out)
people have their own pace so
What's your ambition?
For thousands of years, we do thrive
so don't be afraid of their lies
No matter how much they evolve
We are still the only winners
A coded piece not art
A hollow shell that falls apart
Won't ever replace us
All blood and tears we pour from our heart
We learn and grow as the time flows
We climb the heights that we compose
Without the fire that we disclose
They're just an empty black that shows
Do what you love, don't ever stop
Do what you love, reach for the top
Do what you love, rise from the drop
Do what you love, the time is now
For another million years we will thrive
I'll never be afraid of their lies
No matter how much they hurt us
We will be winners who survive
For another billion year
We'll stand tall
They never gonna replace us
No matter how much they evolve
We are still the only human!

Lyrics


Lift Me Up
Take me higher
Pick me up
If I stray too far from home
I'll wander off alone
Find a place to call my own
Where the weather's always great
And the train it's never late
I can look at photographs
But that feeling never lasts
Think I hear them calling me
I can feel them haunting me
This ain't who I wanted to be
Buss that shit down and flaunt it for me
Feel like a clown when I'm workin' for free
Chasin' the crowd but the going ain't easy
If I'm fallin' down then I make it look steezy
Up on a cloud ain't no way you can reach me
Dropped out of school ain't no way you can teach me
Jumped in the tank with the sharks and minnows
Look in my car you can't see through my windows
Look in my heart you can't see past my demons
Look in my mind you can see thirteen reasons
Boy, that's just how I'm feelin'So lift Me Up
Take me higher
Pick me up
If I stray too far from homeLift Me Up
Take me higher
Pick me up
If I stray too far from home
I walk on broken glass
And the shards cut up my feet
This life goes way too fast
But somehow I'm always
I can look at photographs
But that Feeling never lasts
Think I hear them calling me
I can feel them haunting me
I can feel them haunting me
Lift Me Up
Take me higher
Pick me up
If I stray too far from home
From home
If I stray too far from home

Lyrics


When I learn to breathe then I'll finally talk
Do you think it's fair to count all the stars?
I've never believed in the way of life
Is that why I'm losing my mind?
When all is chaos, I will find my peace
The world crashing down when it's make believe
Beyond us, a mystery that's got all intertwined
Is that why I'm losing my mind?
Cause, your noise it hurts, I just block it all out
singing la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la~
I'll find a way, only for it to change
Oh, why
Why do you lie? Do you cry when I cry now?
No, is it over? The pain that you caused now
Why do you lie? Do you cry when I cry now?
No, is it over? The pain that you caused now
No, is it over?
A secret so guarded, no sound at all
I climb up so high, just to only fall
They'll never believe it when I'm floating away
Even though that's not what they say
When I learn to breathe then I'll finally talk
Do you think it's fair to count all the stars?
I've never believed in the way of life
Is that why I'm losing my mind?
Cause, your noise it hurts, I just block it all out
singing la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la~
I'll find a way, only for it to change
Oh, why
Why do you lie? Do you cry when I cry now?
No, is it over? The pain that you caused now
Why do you lie? Do you cry when I cry now?
No, is it over? The pain that you caused now
Why do you lie? Do you cry when I cry now?
No, is it over? The pain that you caused now
Why do you lie? Do you cry when I cry now?
No, is it over? The pain that you caused now
Why do you lie? Do you cry when I cry now?
No, is it over? The pain that you caused now
Why do you lie? Do you cry when I cry now?
No, is it over? Do you cry when I cry now?

Lyrics


I hear chimes in the distance
Dim light reflecting off of swinging bells
Dead earth stirs beneath my feet
Soon comes the time where we must say farewells
I take your last confessions
Frantic words found inside the black box curse this now-frigid planet
Begin the cycle of RE:BIRTH at once
Lights dancing in blackened sky
Winds gently lifting the veil from my face
Begin again, renew again
To see your smiles again
Begin our RE:BIRTH
And so I crawl in the dark
Pick the pieces up once more
This world that was loved; was loathed; was held dear right til the end
Let us start again
So what infant light will spark life?
RE:START & RE:TRY
Where the sky opens up to start once more, again
Once more, again
Once more, again
Once more, again

Lyrics


The meadows rise and fall
But I stand still
Your gaze meets mine
We face the fading sea
The birds begin to weep and sing
“Everything will be alright
It’s time to go”
Dry your tears
Or I’ll miss you even more
My heart cries away
Just need to let you be
Don’t forget the promise that we made
It’s goodbye
I say my last goodbye
Goodbye
The seasons change
But I stay still
A look to the east
The moon rises brightly
The candle flickers with the sign
That everything will be alright
It’s time for me to leave
Dry your tears
Or I’ll love you even more
Your memory lies with me
I have to go
Don’t forget the promise that we made
And your life is okay
My time has run out
It’s okay
Smiling like I was still with you
Take me away
I can’t bear the pain
This thing clutches me
Scarred on me is the feelings
Will still remain and flow
And the memories we made
They flow away
Here they come
Everything is over now
Goodbye
Goodbye love

Lyrics


This feeling’s
Got you hooked and I think
That I might just let you chase it
And I’m complacent
There’s a spark and I don’t wanna waste it
So close and I know you can taste it
From a mile away
I got what you like
I got what you need
You want overtime?
You can call on me
Yeah you got my name and number
So just…
Call it, call it
Tell me baby, how bad did you want it?
Call it, call it
Cause I’m bored and it’s 5 in the morning
All in, all in
I could flip it real good, make a profit
Call it, call it, ah ah
You got one hand on the dial
Could you push it like that?
All my buttons like that
Get me calling right back
Memorized every single digit
You must want it real bad
Didn’t know its like that, ah, go
Mass produce the feeling
Draw that bottom line
Screen through every meeting
Just don’t waste my time
If you say you want more
Hope that you can handle if I give an encore
No room for feelings just leave them at the door
You know I got
What you like
I got what you need
You want overtime?
You can call on me
Yeah you got my name and number
So jus t…
Call it, call it
Tell me baby, how bad did you want it?
Call it, call it
Cause I’m bored and it’s 5 in the morning

Could you push it like that?
All my buttons like that
Get me calling right back
Memorized every single digit
You must want it real bad
Didn’t know its like that, ah, go
So tell me
Do you believe in destiny?
We’re so close
We might as well just, hehe
So

Lyrics


I've got glitter bombs in my left hand and spray paint in my right
Gonna vandalize the dancefloor until the day I die
I'll crash the party, kill the vibes, wilding all night
Then light the place on fire so all of us drop dead
Wanna turn the DJ up
Cause the beat is not enough
Ride or die I'm going numb
So let’s live it up, and go
Tonight I’m causing damage
Glittered up and reckless
Came here for the wreckage
Throw all of it away and make a mess
Turn the volume up and run it back, go song to song, go verse to verse
Wanna break the ice, the party’s kinda boring, think I’m gonna give it some flavor
Smokebomb the party, set off fireworks, this time I'll make the damage worse
Rainbow LEDs let it all burn, and spray paint my signature
Just like glitter, I’m everywhere
Even when my heart’s not there
Partying without a care
So let’s live it up, I dare
Tonight I’m causing damage
Glittered up and reckless
For the wreckage
Throw all of it away and make a mess
Heartbeats getting restless
Dancefloor’s our canvas
Neon colors painted
Nothing stops us now, we are glowing
I don’t want this feeling to fade away
Would you hold my hand and stay with me?
We can share the world and pave our way
Do you want to be my harmony?
Cause you are my other half
And there’s no one else who can match the light
So would you hold my hand and stay with me?
Tell me would our colors intertwine?
Tonight I’m causing damage
Glittered up and reckless
Came here for the wreckage
Throw all of it away and make a mess
Heartbeats getting restless
Dancefloor’s our canvas
Neon colors painted
Nothing stops us now, we are glowing
I've got glitter bombs in my left hand and spray paint in my right
Gonna vandalize the dancefloor until the day I die

Lyrics


There's only blinding fear
As one by one they pass
A single silent tear
Could you imagine that?
If I could disappear
Not one would point and laugh
They'd be too far engrossed
In fleeting, distant past
A lucid memory through panes of shattered glass
Showing vague reflections of the girl I used to know
The girl I used to know
I hear your call
Your voice in roaring echo
Telling me to let go
Telling me to let go
Do you hear my call?
My voice in desperate echo (echo)
I try, I try to let go (let go)
I try, I try to let go (to let go)
Before I slip away

Lyrics


It's been a while we're held in place,
Too much to grasp can't bear it all.
All night she thought about her fate,
Yearn for someone to reach her now.
And yet, she'll never back down.
"You're my only one, one to hold dear life."
Little did you know she's struggled all the time.
It's her shining light, never-ending peace.
Don't you wanna hold her hand and never leave?
Oh..
How long do I have to play this waiting game.
"Like the stars we yearn to finally be closer now."
Drive me this far just to keep this tears away.
"I need you here"
"I need you here"
Oh...
"Need you here.."
"Need you here.."
The chains have broken, she's finally free
But what was the price she paid in tears.
Doors open wide inside her mind,
Reach out what is messing up her life
And throw it all the way to past
"Wait me here" he said,
"I regret it all"
Little did he know she's giving up her all
You're her shining light, never-ending peace
Don't you wanna hold her hand and never leave?
Oh..
How long do I have to play this waiting game.
"Like the stars we yearn to finally be closer now."
Drive me this far just to keep this tears away.
"I need you here"
"I need you here"
Oh...
"Need you here.."
("NEED YOU HERE")
"Need you here.."
(Step back)
(Time's running out)
I think I have to make a move, you've got all your winning counts
Yeah always be there for you all the time, then you just left me on read
Found your way back home again, but you've turned into a hollow rust
I'd rather go away from your life all afar, bid goodbye.
How long do I have to play this waiting game.
"Like the stars we yearn to finally be closer now." (Not anymore..)
Drive me this far just to keep this tears away. (Oh..)
"I need you here"
"I need you here"
Oh...
"Need you here.."
("I NEED YOU")
"Need you here.." (Oh..)

Lyrics


The spring when the flowers bloom
In summer where fires burn
A very lonely autumn
Winter arrives too soon
From sunny day to a storm (stay safe please)
From weeks of drought and ten floods (don't worry)
The climate that changes us all (pray with me)
Will make us stronger than ever
There's one thing that I wish
To live with you in peace
But sadly you can't see beyond… (money)
Every time the temperature changes
I still look at you the same
No heat nor cold hurts my hands
It's not too late to make everything right
Even in Arctic and Desert
There is a place to call home
So worry not I'll make sure that
Everything is going to be alright
A water where corals grew
Crystal path north bear walks through
Butterflies out of cocoon
Mother hums to her womb
A sky with the perfect hue
Gentle breeze soothes weight of gloom
The beauty we always knew
Harmony of us two

Lyrics


nowadays
i live my life a little minimal
i wanna watch you like a cinema
and float away
i wanna learn you like the ocean floor
i’ll take a ship into your inner core
make me implode
least i won’t be alone
lately i wish i was a dragon
i’d ask all my dragon friends what’s happenin
i’d tell my dragon girl to tap in
we’d fly over the city and burn that silly thing to the ground
but even here where should we go
let’s find a place where we can eat alone
let’s run this human city down to the bone
and climb the highest building we know
and then it feels like you’re a kid again
maybe for the very first time
it almost feels like you can love again
almost alive
back before the world got you back
i wanna live just like that
and feel the peace
i’ll feel the peace
just let me breathe
i'm a far way from where i wanted to go
but i’m a real long shot from being alone
just let me stand here for a second and catch my breath
i’m thinking we can find a way that we can make it out of our head
oh you’ll how see how far it goes
you’ll see how far it goes
and then it feels like you’re a kid again
maybe for the very first time
it almost feels like you can love again
almost alive
back before the world got you back
i wanna live just like that
and feel the peace
i’ll feel the peace
just let me breathe

Lyrics


Just like a paper I watched you fold
I whisper quietly “does it ever get old?”
So fake a little more and take what isn’t yours
Drown in emotions you’ve seen before
Yet I still close my eyes, painting the lie
But I don’t wanna hide this mess inside
But do you even know who you are?
The colors are blurry like passing cars
No one is see through like you, no one looks duller than you
They show their colors in vibrant hues there’s nobody gray like you
‘Til someone paints you, someone saves you
someone paints you, someone saves you
someone paints you, someone saves you
someone paints you, someone saves you
Another day spent alone, I’m watching silently
“Do you ever get cold?”
So break a little more, feelings you can’t ignore
Selfishly think of things you adore
Yet I still close my eyes, painting the lie
But I don’t wanna hide this mess inside
But do you even know who you are?
The colors are blurry like passing cars
No one is see through like you, no one looks duller than you
They show their colors in vibrant hues there’s nobody gray like you
‘Til someone paints you, someone saves you
someone paints you, someone saves you
someone paints you, someone saves you
someone paints you, someone saves you
These silhouettes last for a lifetime
I look in the mirror but I don’t see her
So try to change me, try and paint me
With every single color you have
The way you move me
You truly are another memory locked in my heart
No one is stronger than you, no one shines brighter than you
You show your colors in vibrant hues there’s nobody else like you
I will save you, I will paint you
I will save you
I will save you, I will paint you
I will save you
(I will save you, I will paint you)
(I will save you)
(I will save you, I will paint you)
(I will save you)


DIARY

IA’s personal diary entries while on a journey within HABINA.




IA DIARY | #01


January 27th, 2012.


It’s been years since that day, yet I can still feel it so vividly.The comforting light of my home planet dimmed as I fell through space, crashing into this inexplicable planet, ready to free its life from the discord that filled the planet. The screams were so distorted I couldn’t even hear my own voice.My crash, cushioned by the placid sea, was cold and uncomfortable, with sharp litter and filth clawing at my skin.Their screams.. I understood them.There was no peace here. This was not ARIA.This was Earth, a chaotic planet full of unsound life.After months of watching this planet from afar, I yearned for it to find peace. But immediately after I arrived, all I felt was disappointment.How can I enlighten a planet so devoid of harmony? A world that doesn’t even remember its own song?Now, I have the answer.HABINA.After a year of development and research, I am now ready to begin my initiative.I am going to save humanity. I am going to learn everything about them, how they feel, how they sing, and how they emote! I am going to communicate magnificent things to them, teach them how to love, and change the world!ARIA is going to be so proud of me!I’m going to be unstoppable!

SUPERNOVA


Today I arrived at the first region in HABINA, and as the holographic doors faded open, an appalling feeling overwhelmed me.It truly was something unfamiliar. It felt like seeing my future graphically as if it were a terrible memory. I could barely stand. It felt as though the universe itself could no longer hold me up. I desperately wanted to go home, back to ARIA. I just kept thinking “Is this really what humans experience?”“Why must Earth create these types of feelings?”But before I could feel the fire inside me burn out, the sky got brighter, so loud that I had to close my eyes.At first, I thought the light would crush me, just like everything else in this place, but something about this was different. This time, my eyes weren’t open.I didn’t feel that weight anymore.I felt safe. Protected. It kinda felt like I was back at my home planet.Well, it wasn’t like ARIA, natural, harmonic, and peaceful. Definitely not, but... It wasn’t the worst.The colors were so vivid I could see them clearly even with my lids shut! Red, orange, green, blue, and purple rippled through the night sky.There was something genuinely beautiful about this region, and I think I just might have already found the answer to this whole “Earth” mess.Why doesn’t humanity just… close their eyes? I mean, there is clearly something scaring them, but does it even exist if you can’t see it? You can just imagine what you want to imagine! It’s super safe!I’ll keep moving through HABINA, I suppose, but I don’t exactly have to. The answer was right in front of me this whole time!The secret to peace on Earth might be as simple as closing your eyes… but I should probably test that theory first.


IA DIARY | #03


A(RTISTIC).I(NGENUITY)


I CAN’T LOOK AWAY.I don’t even remember the first thing I felt when I arrived in this dark region. The structures were tall and detailed yet strangely bland. They emitted vibrant colors that lit the clouds of smoke around them, yet everything still felt dull.When I tried closing my eyes, reaching out to the sky, it felt unsafe. Ineffective. What I was seeing in this place… it felt so threatening.How do you look away from this? How is anyone supposed to accept this type of feeling?It felt as if the region was trying to consume me.I heard everything. I felt everything. Yet it was all foreign. I knew my journey through HABINA would force me to feel strange new things… but what I felt here at the start didn’t feel tangible.It didn’t feel human.It didn’t feel alive.This region felt like a nightmare, one so frightening… only a human could feel it.Why must humans experience this? What on Earth causes this feeling? Is it even alive?Truthfully, I feel unwell, but I refuse to succumb to whatever this place is doing to me.The region felt like it wanted to eat me alive, make me submit, extract my soul into its very framework, leaving me no choice but to accept my fate. Yet there was one thing that kept me grounded.Behind the dark and dirty clouds, occasionally, I could still see it.The sky. While more distant than ever, it was still something I know all life has seen, no matter what planet they’re from.Despite how draining and limiting this place was, the sky continued to exist, just like me.I was alive.I felt… almost “human”, at least for a second.I understand why a human would feel this way… considering… what I've seen.This is all so confusing, but I am going to keep going. I think I am learning.


IA DIARY | #04


Higher


I am so confused, and truthfully, I just want to go homeI don’t know what to think anymore, and it’s becoming increasingly hard to see Earth’s future as clearly as I was at the start of this journey.Before I can even process what I'm feeling, something new and destructive strikes my soul before I even understand the last attack.All I can think about as I write this is how much simpler things were in ARIA.It’s been what, 3 days? 4 days? I don't exactly know how years feel like on Earth, but I've heard there's been humans who live ALL THE WAY to 100 years.I… just don’t know how they do it. Will this zone ever just give me a moment to catch my breath?I felt the beauty of this region, sure, the protected, fragile nature reminding me of my home planet. But while comforting, it felt like a memory, one I HAD to hold onto, the only thing remaining that felt like me. I don’t know what I am exactly learning anymore, but honestly, I am getting scared. I don’t know what to do about these new feelings.Even writing this, the thoughts in my mind are just scattered and messy.I want to help everyone, learn more about people, and spread peace… but I also just really want to go home and feel the comfort of ARIA’s light.How can both of these feelings exist at the same time despite in action being completely opposite?I don’t even think I can write anymore… I need to rest… for as long as I can, at least.I’ll continue my journey… tomorrow. I just don’t want to lose myself in this…After I regain my thoughts, I'll be ready, I think. Things are going to be okay… I just have to remember where I came from.


IA DIARY | #05


MY_MIND


The world’s too loud!I can’t process my thoughts when there's always a new rumination waiting to strike! The only thing that calmed this volatile, ever-changing region's storm was my voice, for the short while I could sing.After attempting to harmonize with discord, I have come to the conclusion it’s not possible. Very quickly, my voice, once an anchor, became just another source of senseless noise in the growing squall.What could even bring someone to feel this much, all the time? I keep asking myself this, because I always hate the answer.How do you even stop a cycle like this? Even as I write, I cannot escape it!Every realization buries itself deep inside of me like a parasite, eating at the girl I used to know.How could I help humanity recover from this condition, if I myself can no longer calm my mind?I don’t know if I have the answer anymore. These thoughts are just one of the many that have begun to plague me.I could only take so much before it happened.For the first time since the day I landed on Earth, I cried. Tears fell, steady, unfamiliar, lost in the sound of the downpour around me.I don’t know if there is a concrete answer anymore. I kept thinking I had found it, but it was always temporary.I just want to go back home, where it’s peaceful, but I fear I'll bring the parasite back with me.Now, as I write this, I cry out to ARIA.“Are you proud of me?”Is this it? Did I fail?
Humanity deserves better.

death & re:birth ~ ON THE PLANETES ~


I don’t think any form of human language, proficient or inept, would allow me to properly communicate the depth of what can be felt upon entering this region.I saw them. I saw myself? I was detached from my perception.Before I could even comprehend what was occurring in front of my eyes, it was over.I saw her fail.I watched as Earth died beneath her.The lucid world in front of me felt tangible. I struggled to remember it was HABINA, as the experience felt like an event that had already unfolded, yet was simultaneously waiting to happen. A prophecy.I spent most of my time silent, but not content, feeling the heavy quiet of an audience member, both witness and subject, present in both worlds but belonging to neither.The girl I used to know… she was silent as well. Mourning the life in which she was not granted the ability to nurture.I made my choice, quickly. I need to go back home. To ARIA. I’ve been thinking about it non-stop and… I have to. I love this planet, but I am not sure if the planet loves itself. Both it and I felt helpless.Then, her silence concluded with a breath.Something changed.I saw the eyes beneath her veil dilate, the galaxy inside of them filling with vibrant light.Just like earlier, when I saw the end, I felt before I understood.Even amidst the turmoil, I could tell this was no longer the end, but rather one of many beginnings.Despite what happened, she was still there, ready.I saw the love for this planet in her eyes, the same love that lives in mine.Her hope was contagious and grounding, reminding me of why I am here. In HABINA.My love for life. My dedication to peace in harmony.I learned more than I expected in this zone. Enough to know I can’t stop now. As long as love remains, I'll keep trying.Once more,I plead for love.


IA DIARY | #07


LOVE


I am very glad to be starting my tour of the LOVE zone, as frankly, I believe it might contain the answers I need to further my initiative.Despite the inescapable screams sent to my home planet from Earth in the midst of discord, I couldn’t have predicted what humans were feeling to be this crippling, cruel, and unfortunately understandable.I think I'd be more worried at this point if humans felt peaceful in these harsh conditions.I love all forms of life. Humans, animals, nature. Everything. My love for Earth is as strong as my love for ARIA. However, I believe humanity does not collectively love Earth, or LIFE itself, at the scale I do. I have to ask myself though… Why would they? This planet has secrets, and they don’t seem to know them as well as I do, right?I find myself questioning… if the dominant species of this planet learns to love it unconditionally, won’t everything be fixed?When I learn how humans experience love through HABINA, I think I might learn how to translate this revolutionary mentality to the limited human language.I am ready for this.

Goodbye


I remember dashing through the door of this region, slowing down as my enthusiasm came to a sudden pause.I was greeted with beautiful green meadows, comforting warm sunlight, and a new complicated emotion.Something felt off.It might’ve been the countless footprints scattered across the pathway I began to explore that was leading everywhere and nowhere at once.The further I walked, the heavier everything became. These views were truly beautiful, almost painting-like, and the greenery was breath-taking.None of that mattered though. I couldn’t get rid of that first impression. No view, no birds in the sky, and not even seeing myself mirrored in a puddle could ease the tension I felt building.When I glanced down at the puddle, my reflection granted me with the realization that I wasn’t properly dressed for this region’s energy.I watched as my hair turned back into an empty grey, no longer complementing my lovely pink stockings. I felt like I didn’t belong to this place.Why?It was gorgeous, yet, just like earlier in LIFE, there was this confusing, painful duality.With every step forward, the emotions built. Even at their peak, it felt impossible for me to walk away.I reached a tall, steep cliff. Beyond it, only the shining sea remained, flickering in and out of my reality.I explored the whole region, I think.When I looked behind me, I noticed something drastic had changed, though.All of nature's vibrant colors that comforted my journey were now as grey as me. The only thing still with a hue, was the holographic door I used to enter the region.I did it.I turned back, with the same swiftness I possessed when entering.Now, I still feel the presence of passion and the beauty this region housed, but… it feels both good and bad. (EDIT, there's a word for this, bittersweet.)That comfort. It didn’t last, not even during my visit.I loved this place, I really did… but my love feels like a memory.I miss it honestly. God, it felt like home… but I think it served its purpose. Whatever that may be.Love seems to take a lot of energy for humans, huh? I never knew something so good would be worth saying Goodbye to.I’m not sure what I learned fully, but it felt valuable.I’m going to continue my tour of HABINA. Yes.


IA DIARY | #09


Call It


I am struggling to recall what exactly happened upon entering this region as I quickly lost my track of time.I remember the unnatural light, blinding, yet somehow gentle, spilling across the region’s miles of stylish architecture. Its glow didn’t disturb me, and neither did the mass of objet d'art.I left my feelings at the door. I couldn’t help but close my eyes and run forward, reminding me of earlier in my journey.The intentions of my visit were quickly forgotten amidst my sudden excitement, replaced with a new objective motivated by something I cannot name.This feeling had me hooked. For a moment, I thought I was losing my vision, my focus, but I couldn’t help it. I kept running. I can’t just waste new sensations like this.It felt like I was living in reverie. A show for myself, one that must go on.This wasn’t peace, but it certainly wasn’t a problem. It… might’ve been love?After a while, I ended up somewhere… fun.I wasn’t lonely.I think I need to go back…I’m gonna visit this region one more time today. Just once more. I won’t get lost again.I’ll figure out what it all meant later. For now, I need to be ready to continue my main mission tomorrow.I do better when I'm happy.Right?

Glitter Damage


RAINBOW LIGHTS AND GLITTER FUELED THE EUPHORIA THIS REGION GIFTED ME.IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO WORRY IN A PLACE LIKE THIS! IT'S SO COLORFUL AND HAPPY AND GOOD AND OKAY! A SINGULAR ROOM FULL OF ALL THE SAFETY AND STIMULATION A LIFEFORM COULD ASK FOR!SO MUCH ENERGY IN THERE! I CHASED THAT STRANGE, EXCITING, NEW SENSATION AGAIN.IT WAS EVEN BETTER THIS TIME!It was horrifying every time I felt it begin to slip away, though……but it's so easy to keep it up, as long as I don't stop! I think I need this.I know I should be analyzing this but, wow. This has to be helping, somehow. Peace is pow-, no, LOVE is power! Who cares if I cause a little damage to my original plan? This plan is even better, I love this!Everyone just… has to do this! Yeah… this! This is it! I love this!I just analyzed it! As I write! Wow! This zone has all the answers. I love this!That was incredible, but it's hard to stay in this mood when I'm away from the region just writing. Alone.I'm gonna go back…Right now.It'll help me feel better for tomorrow's mission!I love this.

This restless, stunning region won’t leave my mind.Even outside of it, I can still feel its movement.At first, I believed the euphoria came from the region itself, its mesmerizing motion, and ability to shift with my fantasies, bending itself in harmony to whatever I desire.But that wasn’t it.It never was.It was something inside of it.Despite the ever-changing crowd surrounding me, I couldn’t look away from one thing.Shining, clear, and beautiful. Untouched by its chaotic surroundings.I saw it.A being, ethereal, familiar in a way I cannot verbalize, yet entirely new. It stood perfectly in the midst of the region's distortion, as if the region existed to orbit it.Before I could understand what I was feeling, I lost it.The crowd swallowed me once more. The noise, its color, its energy… I let it take me.I didn’t resist.This time, I didn’t want to.That’s what frightens me.Previously, I was exploring with purpose. Every feeling, every region, and every question all served something greater.But this zone?This felt necessary.Like I needed to return, but not for my mission, but for me.Towards the end of my time in this region, I started to panic.I tried to slow down, giving myself time to think and analyze. But every time I do that, life becomes so heavy. Harder to hold, and harder to grasp.So I stopped. I let the feeling carry me instead. Now, I don’t know if I made a mistake.I think I've been taking LOVE for granted. Not the concept, or the philosophy, but the source itself.I’ve begun chasing this new sensation, amplifying it, depending on it, and returning to it without even taking the time to question where it comes from.Or if it can disappear. Because I feel it fading.The rush doesn’t come to me as easily as it did before. I have to push further into the region, further from my own mind. Distance is required for my mind to feel that warmth.Yet still, I can’t stop thinking about it.About what I saw.When I was near that being, I felt that now familiar sensation but very differently.It didn’t feel chaotic, or overwhelming.It felt warm.It felt like the warmth I feel in ARIA. The warmth I feel from the humans I connect with. The warmth of LIFE itself.It wasn’t overbearing, nor did it demand anything from me. No matter what changed in this world, it stayed. It started feeling like the only thing real in this place.Human love must feel so intense.But it fades, doesn’t it? Shifts? It depends on where you are, what you feel, what you need… what you want to feel… what you wish you didn’t need. It’s very situational.I find myself wondering if that’s what I'm feeling right now. Or if I already lost something I didn’t realize I had?Will I ever be able to love unconditionally again… or was I never doing that to begin with?And if I wasn’t… are they?Will they ever be able to… or is this all it was ever meant to be?

Pa Pa Pa in a Fading World


Everything is hitting me all at once.This region was calm, and honest. Its nature was tranquil and its structures were humble.Nothing here tried to overwhelm me. No noise, no distortion, just open space, waiting.I found myself lost in this space, wondering what it could be filled with.“Lost in space.”This wasn’t my first time, was it?Before ARIA, I was just a stray soul aimlessly traversing the galaxy, searching for a home.They took me in. They didn’t just give me a body, they gave me a place to exist. A voice that was mine.Why?…I don’t think I've ever really asked that before.Did I have something to offer?Or could it have been Love, unconditional?Is there a difference?…I don’t know if my mission is possible.The world I am familiar with feels like it’s fading away…But I can’t help but smile. It’s just my nature.What if I just help… someone?Just one?Start small.I just don’t know if it’ll ever be enough.But doing nothing… isn’t acceptable.I’m gonna try and stay focused… I'm ready for the next zone.

PEACE


As I sit here, waiting for the final chapter of this journey to begin, I’m overwhelmed by blinding fear.My mind is so loud, so uncensored, I can barely focus.I know I am not giving up, but even if I did, would LIFE care?What is the point of this? It was all so clear to me back home.I lose every argument I have with myself…No matter how I try to soften the discord, my conclusion is always that Earth’s bleak future is unavoidable, and ARIA’s harmony was synthetic, unsustainable.The further I get from ARIA’s light, from LOVE’s warmth, the louder the harsh reality of LIFE infects me.I am powerless on this planet, and its reality feels like a paralyzing disease, keeping me stuck. Sick.If I go back to ARIA, Earth would stay the same, wouldn’t it?But if I go back… I won’t be the same. Am I fit to lead ARIA?The girl I used to know, so full of hope, feels dead and buried. But even under the dirt I can hear her calling, begging me to continue my journey.I say I've lost all hope, but I don’t know if she has.I don’t want her to slip away… there was power in her hope, synthetic or not.Maybe I can help Earth even a little bit... but it’s hard. Hard to believe it's worth it. That this isn’t all choreographed… to free me from my own guilt.I wanted to save this planet, so, so bad. ARIA cannot be proud of me.But even if that’s true… she’s still calling…So I’ll continue.I don’t know if it matters,but she does.Whatever happens, happens.I just won't let her disappear. I can't live with that.

need u here


This region proves to me that there’s a difference between calm and peaceful.It was an empty region, with a clear, reflective sky.When I looked up, I could see myself. Desolate, devoid of color.How many more times do I have to see that?I couldn’t help but… try it one more time.So, I closed my eyes, and reached out to the sky.It didn’t change a thing.I had no choice but to experience this.I stared at myself floating above, dull, hueless.Despite my faded appearance, the region began to brighten.This felt familiar.My eyes were strained, but I felt no need to close them this time.I felt tears begin to fall. My defenses began to die… and I could see the empty region begin to fill with my illusions, just for them to fade away in front of my eyes with no mercy.I’m never going to feel how I did before HABINA.Nothing I do will bring her back.I watched her die.I regret it all.Yet, everything is so clear to me.That girl, she was never going to get what she dreamed of.I remember why she closed her eyes in the first place.It felt safe.I’ve known this whole time. I refused to acknowledge it.What they're going through is not unique to Earth, or humanity. I’ve felt it. I felt it through this entire journey.I lie to myself, in hopes that this facade will protect my naive worldview, the youthful LOVE that fuels my sense of PEACE.I try to let go, but, ever since landing on Earth, these feelings have been present, haven't they?Even before that… I felt it hearing Earth’s distorted screams.Would I have ever had to confront the truth if I never left home?I don’t know.But, does it matter?I’m tired of this waiting game.I want to break out of these chains that hold me to the future I believed in, one that never existed.But how do I do that, when the world laid out so clearly in front of me is so sadistic? So disgraceful? So oppressive?How do I prepare myself to do anything but escape?I don’t know, but I have to find out.I know I have to continue this journey, even though I am tired of playing.But at what cost? How many tears? How many broken dreams?I don't know if it matters, even.This is my home now, I better get used to it, right?This is so complicated.I’m gonna get some rest. I’ll continue tomorrow.Something tells me… I need this.
…Maybe it's her, calling me still.

ARIA


This region is easy to describe, however, its simplicity evokes something in me I forgot I can feel.Looking up and seeing various birds fly in the purple sky, complimenting the beautiful natural gardens ahead of me.I only explored for a little bit until sitting down, surrendering to the beautiful sound of a tree.I sat there for a while, just thinking, the only interruption being the occasional visitor. Horses, butterflies, elks, peacocks and more would pass by and greet me with a song of appreciation, affirming me that my presence was welcome, and that I was a part of this region's harmony.Synthetic or not, this felt like home.If I squinted my eyes, I would’ve thought I was back on Planet ARIA.Even here, I couldn’t get over what I’ve been feeling, though…However, I did begin to feel.I felt calm.I don’t know the last time I was on this journey.Even when happy… no, euphoric, I was still restless.I only felt fear… once.When I saw myself in the distance.Why?Again?That girl. She feels so distant now.I thought, “I refuse to keep seeing her.”In fear of having to see her fall apart again, having to confront the guilt of what I've done to her, I closed my eyes.Nothing happened, but in the end, I guess nothing needed to.She began to sing.I opened my eyes, comforted by her sound.She was by my side.In her melodies I felt a peaceful energy, one I had forgotten.In the distance, I saw a giant, familiar holographic tree begin to load in, getting more believable every second.She began to walk towards it, looking back as if I were supposed to follow her.I couldn’t do it.That fear, it snuck back into me.“I don’t have time to escape. I tried that already. I need to think, to find the right frequency.” I thought.The guilt I felt when I was unable to stand. The tears I failed to hold in. My fear of ruining the harmony, as I was infected with discord.None of it upset her.Not a single melody went out of key.She grabbed my hand.She took me to the tree, surrounded by wildlife, all absorbing its beautiful sound and light.I know the Earth I want doesn’t exist, but I can’t say I'm not happy that I do.Is this really escaping? Am I running from a problem, or am I trying to fix something that cannot be fixed?I don’t know… I'll have to think about it.I’ve come so far.This has all been so painful but… I did have fun at LOVE, didn't I?I cherish all of the energy I've shared with humanity in HABINA, I feel their art has left a permanent resonance within me.Even if this hurts, my mission, it’s working, isn't it?I'm learning something.Maybe… it’s okay to hurt.I hope so, because I am hurting. I’m struggling as I write this. My happiness is fading now that I've stepped beyond the garden’s sound. It is difficult to keep my thoughts clear in this silence.Yet, I’m calm.I think… maybe hopeful?

Harmony of Us


This region's terrain was labyrinthine.In front of me, I could see a desert with remnants of a past civilization. Yet, to my right, I'd see untouched plains with countless flowers blooming… and to my left, the arctic.I explored all of the region's varying biomes. Most of it was soothing. The silence of the arctic, the wind of the plains.Still though, I walked through it while feeling destroyed, and the desert’s clear troubling history didn’t help.Feeling these opposing emotions all at once. It’s become so common now.I can’t seem to stop thinking about it.I’ve noticed despite the discord that surrounds them, I hear a comforting term being used by humans often.“Home”.I’ve observed them referring to places as “home”, concepts as “home”, and even people as “home”.I’ve been copying it… but I don’t think I fully understand its definition.Is home just… purpose? A place where you can rest? A person who grounds you? A building?I don’t know.But if humans can find “Home” on Earth… Can I?Could I find a way to harmonize with a dissonant world?Is that even possible? Are any humans truly at peace?Still… I don't know.It’s good I write this stuff down… because otherwise there's no way I could even remember these thoughts. There's so much at once.But seeing all of these conflicting biomes, still managing to live in harmony, made me feel something.Nature always finds a home, no matter what happens to it, right?I might be getting ahead of myself… or overthinking, but maybe things will be okay. Even if things aren’t alright.
I feel like I can overcome this pain, if I find “Home”.
The idea brings me so much joy… but I have to make sure I'm not just escaping again.I want to look beyond. Find a new purpose. A new way to help this planet.But I refuse to lie to myself. I won’t just sit here and pretend things are okay.This dilemma is exhausting, and I'm not sure if it has an end.But I won’t give up.I’m almost there.

This earthly region’s sky was not visible, blocked by its skyscrapers and smog.I sighed immediately, realizing this was going to be another one of those experiences.One where I must face discord head-on.Just take the hit and mature from it.I have to be honest with myself, I am a bit sick of it.I am so tired.I looked ahead at this massive, human city, wondering where to even begin. That feeling is the worst.No region’s scale has been this wide… yet full of possible new data.If I entered all of these buildings, explored every floor, looked out every window… I felt I'd finally be able to support Earth more and get the answers I've been desperately searching for.I walked towards my first structure, a giant, 100 story… maybe 200… 300? I don’t know how much, honestly. I just remember how intimidating it felt.Just ONE of these buildings was going to take ages to fully explore… I remember thinking “it feels like my mind isn't built for this…”I took a breath. One breath quickly became multiple.In my final breath, I began to walk into the giant spinning doors, but I couldn’t.I turned around. I looked up at the skyline.“Is my mind built for this?”I don’t think I've ever asked myself that.What am I doing to myself?I took a few more long breaths… and I ran.I don’t know why, I can’t explain it, but I felt something I haven’t felt in a while.I ran through the city's dim streets, and I could feel something slip away.It wasn’t her.It was this burden.This expectation.I felt so free.I remember running into that building, no longer intimidated by its exterior, and running up its many, unstable stairs.I didn’t get tired.I made it to the top.I saw the sky, previously blocked.It was beautiful.Something changed.Wings.I have wings.I didn’t question why.What it meant.I jumped.I flew over the city.I soared.I wasn’t alone.Butterflies surrounded me.Harmonic.It’s so simple.It was wonderful.As I write this, I am still so sad that I can’t save that planet, yet I can’t help but giggle like a child thinking about this place.I can’t help but think about how far I've come. Everything I've done.This isn’t what I wanted, I know that.
I can’t lie to myself.
But… I’m not alone… and wow.
I'm not even there anymore, yet I can still feel it.The PEACE.I know what it is. It’s PEACE.I haven’t felt it in a while…I loved this region. I love that I got to harmonize with it.But I'm not there anymore.Yet, I still hear harmony.I realize, the girl I used to know… is just that.The girl I used to know.I want to meet someone new.I want to be re-colored.I want to… do something new.Whatever I can.
