■ Original MV "The Quiet Joker" Now Acclaimed!

The original animated music video "The Quiet Joker," which depicts another story of the official PixAI mascot character "Mio," is receiving high praise.

The song features vocals and lyrics by Aira Yuuki, with composition and arrangement by Akito Matsuda. The animation was a joint production by M-ACG Studio and the PixAI Animation Team. The story follows Mio, who usually spreads smiles as an idol, as she embarks on a journey with a hero in a fantasy world as a "former court jester of the Demon Lord's army."
