Mayohiga [The House of Wandering] [feat. Haruka Shimotsuki]

Mirai Kodai Orchestra, known for "Wasureji no Kotonoha (Forgotten Words)" with over 100 million viral streams on YouTube, presents their highly anticipated single, "Mayohiga," featuring Haruka Shimotsuki, a singer-songwriter celebrated as a leading voice of fantasy music.

Mirai Kodai Orchestra is a narrative music unit that draws from ethnic music traditions across the world, creating sounds under the concept of "Ancient Music of a Millennium Hence": a "new yet nostalgic," "fictional ethnic music." The unit has received awards at numerous international film festivals and consistently charts across multiple regions worldwide.

This track takes its motif from "Mayoiga (the lost house)," a phantom dwelling deep in the mountains of northeastern and eastern Japan, said to bring fortune to those who find it. In the dark of night, a single light gently beckons the wounded and the weeping. "Come, enter here." Spun in archaic Japanese like a lullaby, the invitation holds both sweet salvation and a fathomless mystique. The warmth of an embracing maternal love and the obsession that locks its beloved in a cage sway upon a razor's edge, and Haruka Shimotsuki's voice, pure yet shaded, renders that duality in all its perilous beauty.

The world outside knows only mournful storms. So come here, then. A candle in the dark of night still beckons those who have lost their place to belong.
