Mirai Kodai Orchestra presents their highly anticipated new single, "Archaeopteryx," featuring NIJISANJI virtual liver Inui Toko.

Mirai Kodai Orchestra is known for "Wasureji no Kotonoha (Forgotten Words)," a song that has earned over 100 million viral streams on YouTube. Drawing from ethnic music traditions across the world, they weave narrative music under the concept of "Ancient Music of a Millennium Hence": a "new yet nostalgic," "fictional ethnic music" that exists nowhere on this earth. The unit has received awards at numerous international film festivals and consistently charts across multiple regions worldwide.

This track features Inui Toko, a NIJISANJI virtual liver renowned for her powerful vocals and expressive range. Carried by Mirai Kodai Orchestra's dramatic soundscape, her voice gives shape to the song's central theme: hope amid extinction. The descendants of ancient dragons take flight as birds: a grand life-affirming song that depicts the myth of evolution and rebirth as the journey of those who inherit the blood of the gods.

"Here, once more, the story begins." A song dedicated to every soul still striving to move forward, even upon a dying star.
