The jacket photo and preview video of Mili’s “Year N”, the opening theme for the TV anime “The Promise of a Wizard”, scheduled to be broadcast from January 2025, have been released.
The title “Year N” (Nth year) is a meaning that is close to Mili’s original work, which expresses the future that starts from the present and expands infinitely from now on. The song is a work of art in itself, using classical instruments such as mandolin and glockenspiel in addition to strings and piano, and the way the various tones blend and change is a dazzling weave of Celtic and classical melodies. A song that expresses a fantasy world. The sound created from a unique worldview is a one-of-a-kind song that could only be expressed by Mili.
A Pre-add/Pre-Save (pre-registration for distribution) campaign has been decided ahead of the distribution start from 0:00 on January 7, 2025. During the campaign period, everyone who registers for “Year N” on “Apple Music” or “Spotify” will receive an original smartphone wallpaper of the TV anime “The Wizard’s Promise”, so be sure to participate in the campaign and enjoy the distribution. Please wait.
