Heya everyone, and merry Christmas! :D
Finally, here's the long awaited English version of the Infinite Eclipse track in Japanese I made with Satomi four years ago: Lunar Rebellion!
Many things to say about it, though - the original plan was to wait until the SFM animation was done before releasing it. However, such an animation take a very long time to make and it'd have been postponed until an unknown date. In the meantime... This year has been quite terrible on my end regarding music releases and I had nothing for the last month of 2023.
Considering all that, I decided to release the English version of Lunar Rebellion with a "classic" video and we'll release the full SFM animation when it'll be done!
In addition to that, my plan was to release this track way earlier in December, but I got a big issue with my computer and had to reinstall Windows and all my music programs and such. Since I was in the middle of my exams for my evening lessons, it took more time than planned.
But yeah, in terms of music, lately, I'm really not motivated to do anything which is why it takes me more time to release stuff.
Though, some good news about Infinite Eclipse Origin (the light novel series project, not the music) - it's almost finished to be done and corrected and I hope for a release somewhere in Summer 2024. If you're interested in that project, I'd recommand to join the IE Discord server linked above, as you'll be able to see already a few sketches that'll be featured in the first volume of the series!
Anyway, big thanks to Koa for the amazing vocals here, as well as the edit of the original English text (that was simply a literal translation of the Japanese lyrics)!
Hope you'll enjoy this song and since I know there won't be any more release in 2023, I already wish you a happy new year!! :D

Lyrics edited by Koa:
So… here we are, by the light of the moon
Not a thing can stand in our way
Now… we must fight, there is no stepping down
We have reached the point of no return
Devote your everything, underneath the stars
Let your spirit sing with the radiance of the moon and vow
To carry forth the night, the night without a dawn
The war is on
And as we take a stand, the future waits
Steel yourself for what awaits you on the front lines
With our noble pride, we face the sun
Let them taste the shadow of lunar re-bel-lio-on
Carry on ‘til the dawn dies
Striking down every trace of a sunrise
Under moonlight and spellfire
And unafraid of sacrifice
Carry on ‘til the dawn dies
Let the stars light the way to our freedom
From the death and the bloodshed
The night will last forevermore
Press the attack to win the war
Feel the power of the dark
Like the stars, burning bright, so too shall be our souls
As we conquer with the night
Wings aflame, she descends
Where’s that shining smile that I used to know?
Ah, even as I call my sister’s name
Fire in her eyes says she’s long gone
The promises we made, our precious memories
Nothing more than ash and debris, burnt to rubble at her hooves
And as I face her now, all hope is crumbling to the ground
Set all aflame beneath her light
Hear the cries of a thousand
As the fire burns them all to the ground, and
Now their blood is my burden
I led them too close to the sun
So the lunar rebellion
Melts away in defeated oblivion
Not a glimpse of survival
Under her blazing wings, we burn
I have nowhere left to turn
As the sun begins to rise
Even stars start to fall out from the fiery sky
And I find myself alone
Luna… Luna… listen to my voice
Luna… can’t you hear me?
It’s time… use my power
You know you need to win this
I can bring you to victory
Let me in, receive my power, awaken your true potential
We have no choice but to conquer the sun
There is no other way
Cast away your old name and take on your new title… Nightmare Moon

imagine infinite eclipse as a full animated series. would totally watch.
If I one day win the euromillion I'd certainly do it lmao (but only of Origin and Main Story, where there aren't any official mlp characters, for obvious copyright reasons)
Where can i read the full story again?@@JycRow
@@JycRow If i won the Euro millions, I'd try to buy MLP rights from Hasbro, as long as they keep the rights to making toys they probably wouldn't care.
@@JycRow
Never even knew that you were European.
Maybe on day we could get a semi-animated musical like they did for the bride of discord/daughter of discord stories and princess trixie sparkle
Damn, this is phenomenal! Well done! I can really feel the emotional weight this song is trying to convey.
Pleasant surprise. Remember seeing this on the roadmap in the google doc back in the day and wondering if it'd never see the light of day, but here it is
Indeed! Many things happened and it was delayed a bit (and, I'm gonna be honest, I often forgot about it since it was a backburned / secondary project), but here we are!
Amazing work!!
It also reminds me of aldnoah zero, but it could be due to the tone of the singing
Jyc row can you make a phone case for galaxy note 10+ please?
I did not know this song _could_ become better, it was already amazing.
This... this is on a whole new level. What an incredible gift.
Happy you like it! =D
If the original version was the theme of the Lunar Rebellion, this is more like the Crystalized's anthem. The first part is Naegissa rallying Nerath's armies to (un)holy war against the Red Sun's disciples, followed by a flashback to Luna's own fall....the beginning of Equestria's darkest hour.
That's actually an interesting interpretation!
@@JycRow The fact that Koa also sang Nerath's theme is what directly inspired my interpretation. Naegissa IS the Goddess of Nightmares' Voice, after all.
AAAAAA that went so unbelievably hard! Koa is such a beautiful, talented singer and the way the music swelled made it all the more better!! Thank you for this wonderful song, this is the best Christmas gift I have ever received! Happy Holidays to you and to all!
Thank you, happy you like it! :D
What I noticed is the English version has been translated by worded differently, yet it is still a same meaning. I'm impressed. How could anyone write such an amazing song? 😁 Or should I say this since when did musicians ever write their songs? Overall this is awesome!
The song had to be rewritter because the litteral translation from Japanese would not have worked in a song, since it'd have had no rhyme nor rythm. More than a translation, I'd say it's like an adaptation, like one would need to do to translate a manga/anime from Japanese to English.
Regarding the lyrics in this song, it's Satomi who wrote it, and Koa who edited the translation. And generally speaking, I almost never write my own lyrics - usually it's the singer I work with who writes it ^^
Same concept with bad apple, so amazing
Notably NMM appears less like separate entity and more like the inner voice in English version. I got feeling that in Japanese version she talks more about replacing Luna, while in English she is tempting to fall to the Dark Side (of the Moon?)
I noticed _part_ of that. I found it interesting how the English words were sorta squished to fit the original Japanese cadence of the lyrics. I didn't notice that the lyrics were completely new as opposed to transliterated though.
Oh boy, I sure hope she doesn't fail and feel so helpless she lets an inner darkness consume her, leading to an outcome none of them could have expected with powerful new gods with far less mercy than the sisters rising from their corpses!
Yeah, that would be a bummer
@@JycRow And now the French Version! Baguettes for the win. Or is pain au Chocolat... Chocolatine.
Is this a tv show or something?@@JycRow
@@MiguelOrlandoPaiuscoIt's based on one, but this is a fan work using characters from MLP
I can’t help but think of an au where Nightmare Moon actually DOES help Luna
I feel bad for Princess luna.
Happy holidays my friend! Also an amazing version of this song, can't wait for the animation!
Thanks! And same! However, it'll take a long while before it'll be done though ^^
@@JycRow it's ok if it does, something like that always takes awhile anyways. Especially if it's really detailed.
I remember the other version. I love this English version more because I understand English. Love this music by the way!
Ye, lots of people asked back in the day if it was going to have an english version... well, took time, but here it is! :D
Thanks for the English version. I still like the Japanese version even if I don’t understand what is being said
Thank you!
Silly Luna! If you want to defeat the sun, you need an army of tigers, not ponies! That's what Jonathan Young did!
What would happen if both Aquasha and Nerath tried to make the same pony part of their army at the same time?
Merry Christmas 2023 Jyc Row!! This is an awesome Christmas gift you have given us, I'm already loving the English version. Have a Happy New Year 2024!
Thanks! Happy you like it! :D
@@JycRow You're very welcome! I also enjoy the Japanese version too even though I only know a few Japanese words. xD
I am glad to listen to this song in English!
Although its original Japanese version is already amazing!
But it's still nice when you understand what you're listening to :)
Thank you so much for both songs!!!
Someone should create a mashup of both versions, for maximum epicness!
Long live the the new luner republic
🌙vs☀️
A very splendid and divine piece as usual Jyc I absolutely love it! Both the score and the vocals are just ever so incredible make no mistake about it!!!!
Im ready to atack the solar empire. We show them that Lunar Republic is forever!
Of course this one still brings tears to my eyes.
The ending to the queen i would follow to the moon and back again. My one true queen.
2:51 - 3:01 is an absolutely incredible piece of lyricism/translation. It flows so well, you'd never know it wasn't originally written in English.
That's because it was translated *and* edited, because the litteral translation would never have worked ^^
Im no lyricist however I never even realized that this was originally not English because of how good the lines were
@@JycRow to be fair that is literally exactly what they said
This is such a perfect song just like all your others!! You and Koa did wonderful as usual!! I'm gonna be playing this on repeat all day!! Happy Holidays Jyc!! ❤😃
Thank you!
You are so very welcome!! This is my favorite song!! My sister loves it too and luckily she understands Japanese!! I love both versions and I hope that you keep doing well with these songs!! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! ❤️😁
My heart is pounding oml
i like that everyone agrees that luna knows how to be the best war general and celestia just sits there like "i can raise the sun! cool right!"
I can't be the only one who think of " la Liberté guidant le peuple" when I see this cover ?
And this painting represent this song so well too!
If I'm not mistaken, I believe it was indeed the inspiration behind the first artwork!
IM OBSESSED, YOU ARE AMAZING DUDE. You caught Lunas and daybreaker and nightmare moon spot on! I hope that oneday, there is a part 2 and its nightmare moon defeating the sun!👀🖤 love how nightmare is helping luna, she is her after all and never left her! Good job!
Well, check the description, because this is part of my Infinite Eclipse series, the following songs are "Night Queen" , then "Together, Against the Sisters" ahah
This is my absolute favorite song of all by Jyc Row, I like all their work but this one song will always take the top spot . Ty Jyc for such amazing music , your music has helped me out more than I can express
When is this going to be uploaded to the music platform? I love it too much and I’ve been waiting for the English version since you said you were planning on making one! It turned out amazing, even better than I expected! Congratulations on that and hope you have a wonderful time with your upcoming work)))
It has been submitted the days of the release, it'll either be there in a couple of days, or after new years eve depending on if Distrokid takes days off during this period of time
I SHIT YOU NOT I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THIS SONG ( The Original Version) WHEN I CHECKED TH-cam AND SAW THIS!! Haha
You lucky... I envy your luck. Good night, fellow man.
Eheh :p
Didn't expect this to have an update, but great job as always.
Thank you!
Come on bronys, domain the World, like bro.
AMAZING VERSION!!
Thank you Celica!! :D
Christmas eve was great, played Nintendo Switch Sport (golf) with my mother and grandmother - t'was fun!
Hope you have a great time as well!
It sounds like Luna wants eternal night, but that's nightmare moons thing wouldn't Luna want harmony and balance between night and day like Celestia did 1000 years earlier?
I think for here, she wants eternal night in order to help Equestria recover from the scorching heat of Daybreaker's sun.
It seems to me that I just think that the Daybreaker will beat...but the moon will beat everything...you now that the Daybreaker must be beaten...It's just not a real cartoon that Lauren Faust made...Lauren Faust didn't make it...well, maybe that's how Nightmare moon will beat...but the Daybreaker will still beat...It's seems to me only I love Daybreaker and Tia...😭😭😭...and everyone loves the Luna and Nightmare moon...😭😭😭😭☹...by the way,the song is beautiful🎉😊❤😍😘🤩but I'm soooooo still sad☹...
Just wondering, do you think you can make a music about the Dazzlings when they were in equestria as sirens? I'd love to hear that since the other day I was listening to the Heroes EP of the Pillars of Equestria (My personal favorite by the way), you can take your time since I'm sure you already have alot of songs to make, I was just curious.
Finnaly luna no longer has anime on her side.
There are so many memories that I have connected to the Jyc's music.
May 2019: I passed my final test at high school (A-levels). Knowing, that I will have to say goodbye to my friends teachers (I learned friendship, so my teachers became also my friends), I played _The last Battle._ (released about 2018/2019). Both me and my teachers fought for my success, and we did it. I passed, We won, later I found the job, but I had to leave my teacher friends. I was painful, but we moved on.
May 2020: After first phase of global epidemic in Poland we had to return to our jobs. Mine was at shopping centre (gallery). In the beginning of the Global pandemic. Great. I was so scared, that I would catch the COVID and both kill myself and my family (i have asthma). Two days later, Jyc released *Together, against the Sisters.* It was greatly encouraging. One day, I stood before my job, my gallery, and sang this song along (the Lunar parts, since this song is for duet). I did it every day before my work. I literally risked my life to serve my clients, so I wrote the testament (I'm 24 rn), in case of death, and moved on. If Jyc wouldn't wrote *Together, against the Sisters* , i wouldn't be so brave back then. Now I'm calm in case of death, despite having COVID two times.
Thank you Jyc, for your music.
If someone wants some more trivia, I'm ready. I hope some of my memories will encourage the people to stand brave against any problem that they face. The trials will come. But *with every trial we are stronger and better equipped for the future.*
_"We can be the Heroes we've become"_ - Aviators
Stay strong, lads. 💪👑🌙
Thank you so very much for your words ) I'm very happy that my music had such a positive effect to your life! ^^
I always thought it was kinda random that it was in Japanese.
To be honest, it actually was - I just wanted to make a song in Japanese, got the opportunity to do so, so I did lol
Hello Jyc Row. I'm very glad that you are one of the "not dead" brony musicians.
I want to wish you all the best and continued success in your work in general. Please tell me, do you still make songs related to MLP? Or covers of songs.
By the way, this song is beautiful! ❤
Thank you!
The song you just commented is MLP-related, tho, so I'd say yes ^^"
However, except in rare occasion, I'll probably focus now on making music on my own series, Infinite Eclipse (info in description) which has a part that has MLP characters and another part that is full OC
@@JycRow Awwww... you answered! I'm very happy^^
Okay, Jyc Row, good luck with your work. I believe that you will succeed 😉
Merry Christmas, Jyc Row. Thanks for all the awesome works you bring to us. Love it.
This is great . Thank you for such good music. Привет из России
*En efecto, es arte* 🚬🗿👌
Это определённо звучит отлично!
И сюжет крутой: чтобы победить Дейбрейкер Луна подчиняется Найтмер Мун
Hey, I don’t know if someone asked earlier, but will this song be uploaded on Spotify, Apple Music?
It has been submitted the days of the release, it'll either be there in a couple of days, or after new years eve depending on if Distrokid takes days off during this period of time
This was better than words can describe for me! I have been so excited to hear an English adaptation of this song since it came out. Koa’s voice definitely did this song an incredible justice. The adapted lyrics flow so well, too. What an incredible Christmas surprise!
Happy you liked it!
The way she said Nightmare Moon was so badass ngl. 4:17
Any MordeTwi fans here?💙💜
good
What a GIFT you've given! Thank you! So beautiful!
Happy you like it!
This is amazing 😊 thank you
This is amazing! I love the beauty of the lyrics.
Thanks! Koa did an amazing job transforming the litteral translation eheh
👍👍😏
This is somehow more tragic than the original goddamn. I love it. ❤
Yup, the lyrics here are much more powerful than the litteral translation :p
I wonder what side Twilight was on during this part of it.
I guess she'd have been on Luna's side but always tried to get to the pacific way, as she'd have never wanted to banish/hurt Celestia.
@@JycRow What about the rest of the Mane Six (minus Fluttershy)? What sides did they take? Since you yourself confirmed Spitfire was the leader of the Solar army's aerial forces, which would mean the Wonderbolts were on the Solar side....and by extension, so was Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash and Rarity would have been Lunarist, not agreeing with the Wonderbolts in this situation
@@JycRow Aaaah. That explains why they became Crystalized, as shown in the artwork for Praise Nerath. Guess Dash became Captain of the Shadowbolts after all lol
Amazing, her voice gives me chills.
In this song,nightmare is trying to convince Luna to use her power to stop daybreaker's rage and battle,I like this version of nightmare trying to help luna win against daybreaker
Wonderful and poignant music.
Thanks for the English Version.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you! :D
Я просто оставлю здесь любительский, созданный мной перевод на перевод оригинальной песни) кое где могут проскакивать проблемы, но я и не профессионал, пару раз перепел песню, вроде ритм есть везде, просто иногда нужно петь без остановки со строки на строку. Может кому понравится, может кто-то кавер сделает, в любом случае я это сделал и показываю.
И вот, мы все здесь
Под ярким све-е-е-том луны
На пути для нас ничто не встанет
Теперь, день борьбы, ни шагу назад не дадим
Мы достигли точки невозврата
Даруйте ваши силы, под ярким звёздным небом
Пусть ваш дух ведёт эта мощь, что дарует лунный свет
Клянитесь нести ночь, не давая встать рассвету
Война идёт....
Сопротивляемся, грядущее близко
Готовьтесь к аду что, нас ждёт всех на передовой!
Мы лезвием копья, встречаем жар огня
Задавим силой их, тенью Лунного восстания!
Уничтожь это пламя!
Победи, оставь мир без рассвета!
И под лунной защитой!
Готовы жертвовать мы всем!
Победи, не дав шанса!
Укажут звезды вам путь к свободе!
Сражайся и лей кровь!
Восстановите тьмы бала-а-а-анс
Сражайтесь чтобы победи-и и-ить
Почувствуй силу тьмы внутри
Эти звезды, и огни,
Их полно внутри души
И-и и-и
И ночь на днём пусть победит
Вот она, на крыльях фе-еникса
Где же улыбка та прекрасная теперь
И даже когда, называю я имя её
Пламя в глазах мне говорит что та ушла
И клятвы что давали, память создавали
Для неё не больше чем прах под ногами и теперь
Глядя на неё, теряю я надежду
Всё сгорит огнём, и увы, конец.
Эти тысячи криков
Пока пламя сжигает восставших
Их кровь - моё бремя
Не уберегла их от огня
И Лунный мятеж
Прекращает существованье
Без права на жизнь
Под крыльями мы все сгори-и-и-им!
И не бежать увы наза-а-ад!
Рассвет очистит этот мир!
Даже звезды, пали вмиг, когда жар всё охвати-и-и-и-ил!
И теперь я здесь одна.
Луна? Луна?
Слышишь мой голос?
Луна?
Разве ты не слышишь меня?
Настало время, использую мою силу
Ты знаешь, что должна победить
Я приведу тебя к победе, впусти меня, прими мою силу, раскрой свой настоящий потенциал
У нас нет выбора, мы должны взять вверх над солнцем, иного выхода нет, отбрось свое старое имя и прими новый титул - Найтмер Мун
I like this au,where nightmare is trying to convince luna to use her power to stop daybreaker's rage and battle/war,and win and end the war?
Always love seeing the upload notification for you i actually get excited and my heart beats faster even before I play the video. You are truly a treasure to this fandom.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Enjoy this song and have a good end of 2023! =D
We have been waiting for you.
Thank you😆
Hey Jyc Row, can u make an instrumental version of Mamorisha?
That was fantastic! Love the music that came out of the fanbase of this show. Keep up the great work!
Every part of this is wonderful and the last part of Nightmare Moon is a leitmotif waiting to happen, I wish it was referenced more in Night Queen or Night Queen VIP.
REGINA NOCTIS PRO NOBIS!!!
Nightmare Moon and Luna my favorite characters in MLP.
It's nice to finally hear this song in english.
Thank you for work.
Happy holidays!

@@vicious3526 Yeah, got many project atm, life's been busy and music inspiration is nowhere to be found, but it'll hopefully come back soon!
@@JycRow I'm glad. It's ok to take a break to avoid burnout. I look forward to more great stuff in The future!
if i played this at my funeral would i get a pin
Beautiful, sounds just like the japanese version.
Yup, well, that was the goal :p
Крутая песня, периодически переслушиваю, и каждый раз как в первый.
Oooo, this is such a perfect thing to see on Christmas Day! I loved the original song, great to see there is an English version now!
the english version is really great !
This is amzaing, JYC :00000
I really like Luna's english voice but there was just something about the japanese voice that hits harder for me.
Well, both versions are here to be enjoyed :D
What did I just witness jyc row....? WHEN NIGHTMARE MOON WAS TALKING IT LITERALLY BLEW MY MIND!
Happy you liked it! =D
Great song i love the fact its the other way around this would be a interesting idea for fanfictions honestly
Well, this song is part of a huuuuuge project I'm working on since 2017-18, and that is still up to date - check the description for more information ;)
