《翼を求めよ》
人間はかつて月を踏みしめた
《むかしむかしのおとぎばなしを》
そんなこと子供ですら信じない
《こどもだましのおとぎばなしを》
この地はかつて麦にあふれて
消えない灯が夜を昼に
変えたことなど忘れてしまった
滅びの国で滅びの星で
生きる僕たちは笑う
老いたものたちが夢から
醒められずに泣いていても
滅びた古の竜の末裔は
鳥となり空を飛ぶ
ここでもう一度
物語ははじまる
楽園を遠く離れて
《地を這う蜥蜴よ》
始まりの混沌から受け継いだ
《むかしむかしのいんせきでさえ》
生命がこの心臓を打ち鳴らす
《いのちほろぼすことはできない》
その血は神々から連なり
消えない火が燃やしている
魂の奥に刻まれた言葉
滅びの国を滅びの星を
受け継ぐ子らよ進め
神代に海原を渡り
切り拓いた道の先へ
枯れ落ちた森よ 再び芽吹き
新たなる花と咲け
ここでもう一度
物語をはじめる
楽園の東の果てで
やがて新たな神話となり
語り継がれる
「いざ歌え」
滅びの国で滅びの星で
生きる僕たちは笑う
老いたものたちが夢から
醒められずに泣いていても
滅びた古の竜の末裔は
鳥となり空を飛ぶ
ここでもう一度
物語ははじまる
楽園を遠く離れて
《翼を広げよ》

Archaeopteryx (feat. Inui Toko)
Mirai Kodai Orchestra
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.
