Are you into fantasy worlds?
Let Mio guide you on your journey to become a fantasy story hero!
I’ll stay with you
Those face-down cards you hide
Let go of all the dishonest feelings
(La la la la la la la ha)
The city’s always rushing for answers
Counting up wins and loses
Let go of all the dishonest feelings
With earnest eyes
I am not your dealer
I won’t decide the rules
Can I just stay here beside you
And watch over you?
Even if that hand
(It’s not an easy choice)
made its choice
I truly know
(For your bravery)
I’ll stay with you
Those face-down cards
The courage to turn them over is yours
Right now the signs are still uncertain
So let’s share this same night together
And smile
See, even now the trials you’re given
May put an X on yesterday
But you’re still standing at the table
(looking up)
Gazing into the distance
I am not your teacher
I don’t have the right answers
All I know is what you’ve been drawing.
(So I know that is enough)
Each time you said, “one more time,”
the traces of you continuing forward
have shone.
If those unfading feelings
Are still alive inside you
I’ll be the quiet joker
With a playful song
On the days you hold your hand over a fading light
Please let me hear your voice
I’ll stay with you
Those face-down cards
The courage to turn them over is yours
Right now the signs are still uncertain
So tonight, let’s take the gamble here
And smile
I’ll be right by your side
Music and animation come together here to bring every emotion to life, deepening the bond between the jester and the hero.
We created The Quiet Joker to connect with creators on a personal level—through the joy, the quiet reflections, and the grit to keep going.
As this story ends, we hope it stays with you, leaving you with a bit of warmth and a smile just like Mio’s.
