  I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. Could you do the following?
  
  1. Post Phantasmal Chorus rank
  2. Post total Music Buff Effect (ie: +10 from r6 Playing Instrument, +8 from upgraded Battle Mandolin; +18 total)
  3. Activate Meditation
  4. Activate Hymn of Life using March Song while at 10 stamina.
  5. Wait out the duration and post current stamina.

  
  
  Oh sure I can test that out later.

  Enduring Melody Rank D.
  
  
  - I turned on meditation, lowered my mp and sp, and did phantasmal chorus + enduring melody.

  Does this satisfy your question?

  Not entirely but it's certainly interesting.
  
  Across a 16 second duration you should have regenerated around 22 stamina. You instead regenerated 39 stamina in that same time period. Use of Enduring Melody contaminated the sample (as it bypasses Meditation), though it does seem possible that music buff effects and potentially performance might influence the effectiveness of hymn/ode.
  
  Thank you for working on this. I'll likely have to test this on NA.

  I'm getting the same buff % and duration as if I was playing the buff itself with the instrument (I get the instrument buff, singing buff, and playing instrument buff).
  
  Though the Phantom Chorus' Ode etc. ends when the circle disappears.

  
  
  So essentially what this means is that we can throw down two circles with encore and have 2 solo buffs at the same time (that work the same as if you'd played them separately with the individual skills, like battlefield overture and enduring melody)?

  You were able to, but apparently that was deemed a glitch and removed, so now the skill looks pretty useless, only purpose to get ode or hymn because:
  A: Buffs don't stack =\
  B: You cannot return or stay in the circle and rebuff forever until the circle runs out
  I seriously do not see the point of phantasmal chorus anymore, which also makes encore useless with the exception of being able to use dischord twice in a row.

  That's...total dogshit. Yeah, I don't see the point of those anymore unless you really like those (de)buffs.
  
  If we need a suggestion to Korea, then this is probably it - fix this shit.
