The Night Queen and Her Wolves (feat. krage)

Mirai Kodai Orchestra presents their highly anticipated single, "The Night Queen and Her Wolves," featuring krage, a singer-songwriter known for numerous anime tie-ins.

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 is a fantastical epic depicting people cursed into wolves by the Night Queen. The lament of these "beasts who were once human," swaying between instinct and reason in rhythm with the waxing and waning moon, is brought to life through krage's voice, both fragile and venomous, intertwined with Mirai Kodai Orchestra's layered vocals. A bilingual composition of Japanese and the unit's original fictional language, "Mirai Kodai-go," conjures a mystique reminiscent of ancient rites.

Foolish beasts tear down brick walls and pull the trigger, yet still howl in prayer for the dawn and the return of their humanity. A dramatic song where destruction and prayer coexist.
