Mili is the best advertisement any game could ever have. Just saying "yeah this game has music by Mili" already lets you know its a game worth to play

[LiriChan]

Not in a million years I ever expected Mili to do a Song for Arknights

"Doctor... Doctor...! The Doctor spoke! Hold my hands tight..."

[sonnguyenviet]

We cant really ask "will mili cook?", we can only wonder how will mili cook

[ParadoxAAA]

"I'm on your Ark, answer me my sinking Ship.
Where's our tomorrow?"

These two lines are just so good and I think there are many fans who don't know that Arknights original CN name most directly translates to "Tomorrow's Ark" which just makes those two lyrics being together just *chef's kiss*

[a.t]

"Does our hope have to be sown upon somebody's sorrow" oh boy imma think about this sentence for years...

[GuyWhoHadNoSoul]

The venn diagram of a Limbus player and a Arknights player is just a circle

[sorn]

"Our IDEALS dye rivers scarlet"
ideal...

[megaden]

Let's take a second to appreciate how Mili's songs unite various cultures and fandoms.
To the point that beauty of "String theocracy" even made me learn english to play LoR and understand it's deep meaning. Keep it up, Mili~! ILY

Grown-up's Paradise


Do you recall?
We couldn't wait to become adults
We dreamed, we grew

And now we are stuck
In a grown-up's hellish paradise
I'm down on my knees, carrying our sins
In order to be heard
In order to be heard
Must I deliver loud and clear in sound waves of violence?

Plastic mini trucks, dollies
We were so easily satisfied and happy
Even if I break your favourite teddy bear
A "sorry" could fix everything

When did it change? When did we forget?
Why is it now so hard to forgive?
Do we advance, never stopping our steps,
Because we are scared to look back on what we did?

Do you recall?
Back when a smile was more than enough to make us friends
Do you recall?
We couldn't wait to become adults
We dreamed, we grew

And now we are stuck
In a grown-up's hellish paradise
I'm down on my knees, carrying our sins
Pretending you're still here
Pretending you're still here
As my confidence disappeared, I clung onto your silence

Even if tricycles become battleships, finger guns become real
We are still (lost)
Where's our tomorrow? Where does our future go?
Does our hope have to be sown upon somebody's sorrow?

Truth is, I know as long as we live
Our ideals dye rivers scarlet
Firing shots in the name of justice
Declaring love we can only reminisce
As cruelty becomes heroic

I'm on your ark
Answer me, my sinking ship
Where's our tomorrow? Where does our future go?
Does our hope have to be sown upon somebody's sorrow?

[FranknFurtr]

I am lamenting in a Grown-up's Hellish Paradise.

"when did it change? when did we forget? why is it now so hard to forgive? do we advance, never stopping our steps? because we are scared to look back on what we did. do you recall? back when a smile was more than enough"

I'm here after watching AK's trailer!! Damnn... the lyrics hit harder when you're an adult who's experiencing quarter life crisis who makes you ask where will tomorrow lead us to TT

[NelkeRex]

"Why is it now so hard to forgive?"
I felt that...😔

Arknights 🤝 Limbus Company

Mili is peak.

[Seyong.]

I haven't tried this game.

However, it starts with a melody that is sorrowful, evokes the past and dark atmosphere(It's like reminiscing about the past.), and as the melody becomes calmer, there is a sense of silence.

The gradually brightening atmosphere gradually erases the dark places (whether it is the game's world view or the characters' emotions). And finally, a passionate melody comes in, and it's a wonderful piece of music that makes you feel like someone willing to sacrifice his or her whole body to protect them's precious things.

I don't even have to play it to know how great the game will be after hearing this music.

Hmm... I'm going to do it right now

[idrawalot]

Lyrical genius in an age desperately in need but deprived of it

[april]

This is the official announcement of the unification of Limbus and Arknights players.
