Project 'Ma' (song)

"This is the story of the beginning"

Project 'Ma' is a song released by Akuno-P on August 11, 2012 in the Original Sin Story -Act 1-  album. It is part of the Original Sin Story, explaining the backstory behind the series' trilogy.

Plot
In Divine Levianta, Eve Zdezda introduces herself as a powerful witch in love with Adam Moonlit, who tells her that she will soon be the "mother of gods" in the Project「MA」. She explains how the prophet Maria Moonlit fortold that the "Original Sin" would destroy their country. To stop the disaster, the Levianta Royal Institute had devised a plan to reincarnate the twin gods; Levia and Behemo. To carry out their plan, they needed a woman with great magic to bear them. This woman would become "Ma" and the new queen. She doesn't understand why she was chosen, but Adam told her it would be okay, and that they would be married in Eldoh's Forest afterwards. She is now awaiting the twins' birth. Later, Adam Moonlit introduces himself and relates that Eve's twins Cain and Abel were stillborn. He explains he planned to use Project「MA」and Eve to gain power and punish Seth Twiright and the Senate for "taking his mother away." He states that using the Venom brainwashing drug to seduce Eve, would make this easier. Now he expresses remorse for what he has done and elopes with Eve.

At the end, Seth introduces himself, as he states he will now take control of the project for his own ambitions.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The names in the song are all derived from the Book of Genesis, particularly characters directly connected to the Biblical Adam and Eve.
 * Eve's maiden surname, Zvezda, is the slavic word for "star".
 * The "brainwashing drug" used by Adam, Venom, references Duke Sateriajis Venomania and his brainwashing power over women after sealing a contract with the Demon of Lust.

Curiosities

 * Each singer tells their perspective on where the "story" begins, deciding to start by introducing themself as the "best" in their field in all of Divine Levianta.
 * During Adam and Eve's duet toward the end of the song, they reference that the evening stars were "corrupted", referencing Eve's surname and the result of being "ruined" by Adam and the subsequent events in Moonlit Bear.
