It has been stated by Asagi that the entirety of the album will have a traditional Japanese concept; as we know, Asagi has had his fair share of Japanese folk rock experiments even with D, so it does not really come as a surprise. However, this is the first time he will be releasing an entire album with this concept. Asagi takes his own spin on all that’s traditionally Japanese even in the Gekkai no miko music video. With badass yet adorable bunny warriors, for example.
Gekkai no miko, which could be translated as “Royal Child from the Moon World”, references the old and well-known Japanese folk tale Taketori monogatari, or The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, a story about a princess that came from the Moon. It is also known as The Tale of Princess Kaguya, named after the said princess.
