When I heard the song _Weight of the World_ for the first time in the rain of the ruined city, although I couldn’t understand any of the words in the lyrics, tears slipped involuntarily. This is the magic of Keiichi Okabe — he touched the common soul of mankind with artificial language.

The game opens in the desolate ruins of the earth. 2B and 9S fought in the encirclement of mechanical life forms, and what sounded in their ears was an ethereal song sung in their own language. This deliberate “incomprehensible” makes music transcend the limitations of language and directly hits people’s hearts. When 2B said “The world is so beautiful” before his death, those meaningless syllables in the background music suddenly had a specific weight — they became the unique emotional containers in the heart of every player.

The most shocking song is the soundtrack of _Emil-Despair_. Keiichi Okabe combined the children’s chorus with electronic sound effects to tell the endless sadness of a clone with broken grammar. I remember that on that moonlit night, when I controlled the 9S to discover the truth, the background music suddenly turned into a pure instrumental version, as if even the song could not bear to continue to tell this cruel story. This subtle dialogue between sound and picture makes the game experience sublimated into artistic enjoyment.

As the plot progresses, artificial language has become the best carrier of emotion. In the resistance camp, the gentle _Peaceful Sleep_ creates a rare peace in the end of the world with vague pronunciation; in the ruins of the amusement park, the sound of the music box of _Amusement Park Kaikon_ and the vague voice intertwine a strange and sad atmosphere; and at the final moment of choice, the multilingual version of _Weight of the World_ sounded at the same time, and players of different cultures can find their own emotions in it.

Late at night after clearing the customs, I looped the game soundtrack in the music software. I still can’t understand those lyrics, but every time I listen to it, it reminds me of the rain in the ruined city, the warmth of Pascal Village, and the last smile of 2B. This is the true meaning of the sound magic of Neil: Automatic Humanoid - the best music does not need to be understood, but only felt.

If you also want to experience this emotional impact beyond language, _NieR: Automata_ will give you the most unforgettable auditory journey. After all, when music is pure enough, language becomes a superfluous annotation.
