Exciting Launch of 'The Quiet Joker'

The innovative AI creation platform, PixAI, operated by Metanomaly Corporation based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has recently unveiled its latest project. A captivating animated music video titled The Quiet Joker featuring the popular mascot character, Mio, is now available worldwide on YouTube. The release of this original animation aligns perfectly with the April Fools' Day festivities, and fans are in for a treat!

This project combines the extraordinary talents of renowned singer Aira Yuki, who lent her voice and lyrical expertise to the song, while the composition and arrangement were artfully handled by Akihito Matsuda. The visual aspects of the animation came alive through the collaborative efforts of M-ACG Studio and the PixAI Animation Team.

The storyline follows Mio, a character that often brightens up hearts as an idol, but in this fantasy narrative, she steps into the role of a former court jester from a demon lord's army embarking on an adventure alongside a hero. The portrayal of her dual existence adds a layer of intrigue and depth to the world created within the music video.

Celebration on Social Media

To commemorate the release of The Quiet Joker, PixAI has launched a special social media campaign with a staggering prize pool exceeding ¥560,000. Fans can participate in various ways:
1. Follow & Repost for Cash Draw: By following the official PixAI account and reposting their MV tweet, participants stand a chance to win part of the ¥450,000 cash prize.
2. Creative Submission Contest: Using the song as inspiration, participants can create artwork on PixAI and upload it on social media with the hashtag #PixAIAprilFools for the opportunity to win fantastic prizes like a Nintendo Switch 2, as well as original signed illustrations from Aira Yuki and Akihito Matsuda.

Casting Call Announcement

In a twist fitting for April Fools’ Day, a playful casting call for the character Mio is currently underway as part of an original project titled FIRST PROTOCOL CODE: April. Here, Mio awakens as a “savior of the world” in a futuristic scene plagued by magnetic fissures.
