A dark liberation anthem breaking free from ancient binds
MECONOPSIS is the second original single by Ninomae Ina'nis, first debuted on December 9, 2023 at her belated birthday live “Neverland Paradox.” The song represents a thematic departure from VIOLET — where VIOLET explored Ina's origin as a priestess of the Ancient Ones, MECONOPSIS depicts her breaking free from those duties. The track is a dark, powerful fusion of melodic rock and electronic elements with dense lyrical wordplay by WUNDER RiKU.
The 4K music video was released on May 31, 2024, showcasing a stylish, fast-paced visual experience that Ina herself described as going “above and beyond any of the previous works.” The meconopsis flower motif — a delicate bloom symbolizing fragile beauty — is woven throughout the narrative as a counterpoint to the song's darker, more chaotic imagery.

process
Capturing darkness and liberation through visual rhythm
The MV production demanded a visual language that could embody both the song's thematic darkness and its message of breaking free. LUMINA crafted a stylish, fast-paced visual experience that mirrors the track's intensity through rapid transitions, dynamic compositions, and layered imagery. Each cut was carefully timed to the music's rhythm, creating a visceral experience that propels the liberation narrative forward.
The meconopsis flower became the visual anchor throughout the production — a symbol of fragile beauty persisting amid chaos. The editing approach juxtaposed delicate floral imagery with harsh, dynamic elements, reinforcing the song's thematic contrast between constraint and freedom. This visual duality extended to the color palette and compositional choices, creating a cohesive language for Ina's break from her priestess duties.
First debuted at the Neverland Paradox birthday live on December 9, 2023, the song's initial performance made an immediate impact on the community. The 4K music video release on May 31, 2024, further solidified MECONOPSIS as a cornerstone work in the Ninomae cinematic universe, deepening and expanding the narrative landscape that began with VIOLET.

impact
Deepening the cinematic universe through narrative counterpoint
MECONOPSIS represented a thematic evolution in the Ninomae cinematic series, establishing a powerful counterpoint to VIOLET that expanded and deepened the universe of Ina's character. Where VIOLET marked her origins, MECONOPSIS marked her liberation — a darker, more rebellious work that showcased the breadth of her artistry and storytelling ambitions.
On February 2, 2026, MECONOPSIS was included as the second track on Ninomae Ina'nis's debut EP “re:VISION” (CVRD-695), a seven-track collection that compiled all of Ina's original works alongside two new songs. The EP represents the culmination of a multi-year visual and musical journey, with MECONOPSIS standing as a testament to the evolution of both Ina's artistic voice and LMNQ's direction within the hololive ecosystem.
