Beyond the Beyond, known in Japan as Beyond the Beyond: Harukanaru Kanān he (ビヨンド ザ ビヨンド ~遥かなるカナーンへ~, lit. "Beyond the Beyond: To Far Away Kanaan"), is a role-playing video game that was developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation in 1995. Though not the first role-playing game released for the PlayStation, Beyond the Beyond was the first RPG available in the west for the console using a traditional Japanese RPG gameplay style like Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star. The characters were designed by popular manga artist Ami Shibata.
Gameplay in Beyond the Beyond is, for the most part, standard for a role-playing video game. However, the turn-based battle system does contain one feature that was not standard in role-playing games at the time. Dubbed the "Active Playing System", this feature allows the player to increase the chances of either landing an improved attack on an enemy or defending from an enemy attack by pressing the X button at the correct time during battle. It is similar to the timing-based attacks in the later role-playing game Final Fantasy VIII (1999) as well as The Legend of Dragoon.
Beyond the Beyond (その向こうの向こう側, Sono Mukō no Mukōgawa) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshitomo Watanabe. The story is about Futaba Kudo, a young boy who is pulled into a strange world when he rescues a girl named Kiara, a powerful girl whom many people wish to capture or kill. Futaba pledges to protect Kiara from her pursuers and help her find her missing master. The series first premiered in Japan in the monthly shōnen magazine Comic Blade in 2004 where it ran until February 2008. The individual chapters were collected and published in six tankōbon volumes by Mag Garden.
Tokyopop licensed the series for an English-language release in North America, but cancelled the series after releasing four volumes.
Sixth grader Futaba Kudo is short for his age with three extremely overprotective older siblings. As he's walking home from school one day, a strange girl named Kiara falls from the sky, calling Futaba her master. While Futaba is trying to figure out what is going on, a woman appears and attempts to kill Kiara. After trying to perform a spell and oddly sniffing Futaba's hand, Kiara realizes that Futaba is not her master. Kiara and Futaba run from the attacking creature and hide under a bridge. While under the bridge, Futaba's cell phone rings and Kiara borrows it and drops it into the river, opening a mysterious portal. They jump into the portal, narrowly escaping the monster and arriving in a fantasy-like world.
The Beyond may refer to:
The Beyond were a progressive metal band from Derby, England. The band performed under this name between 1988 and 1993, then under the name Gorilla from 1995 to 1998.
The Beyond formed in 1988 as John Whitby (Vocals), Andy Gatford (Guitars), Paul Fallon (Bass) and Neil Cooper (Drums). After releasing a 5-track demo including a version of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell"; in 1990 The Beyond released an EP and a single on the Big Cat Label - 'Manic Sound Panic' and 'No Excuse'; the latter including a live cover of Dead Kennedys' "California Über Alles". By this time, Fallon had been replaced on bass by Jim Kersey. The band toured heavily.
The Beyond were then signed to EMI subsidiary Harvest (best known as Pink Floyd's label throughout the seventies and early eighties). This led to support slots with Soundgarden, Xentrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Acid Reign, Claytown Troupe and Living Colour. In 1991, Harvest released the album Crawl which included the singles One Step Too Far (which included covers of Mudhoney's Touch Me I'm Sick and The Doors' Break on Through (To the Other Side)), Empire and The Raging E.P.. Crawl was a diverse album with evident prog, thrash, jazz and alt influences. The following year, Crawl was released in the US on the Continuum label with a revised track listing ('Second Sight' was replaced by former UK b-sides 'Nail' and 'Everybody Wins'), followed subsequently by a European support slot to Canadian band Rush.
The Beyond is the second studio album by Swedish post-metal band Cult of Luna, released in 2003. The subject matter is dissent with authorities, similar in some ways to contemporaries Isis' Panopticon. This album sees the rawness of the self-titled debut channeled into a cleaner sounding and more crisply produced sound. The tempo is slowed and the feeling is of a more expansive, reflective album, which almost bridges the gap between Cult of Luna and Salvation, leaning more towards the former (elements of which can be heard in "Arrival", "Leash" and "Deliverance", whilst "Circle" has the most similarity to the latter).
All tracks written by Cult of Luna.

Yaji Ash-Shuthath!
When there were none in the nothingness
Beyond Tharh al Dubb al Akbar came Sothoth
Creator and destoyer of the gates
The glowing sphere who lies beyond
The transcendent lord of thousand colours
Whose gates shall set the horrors free
The All In One Who Is One In All
Who descended before man's creation
Monoliths we carve for Thy glory
Underneath the Watcher's eyes
Yog-Sothoth, may your names be known!
Mighty Beyond One, may your names be known!
Yaji Ash-Shuthath!
God of portals, create a way
Open wide the head of the dragon
Unnameable hungers are awakened
The ancient conquerors are coming
[Solo: Corpse]
Yog-Sothoth!
You know all things that are, that were, and that shall be
Beyond One!
