The National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno, Tokyo has announced details for the special exhibition The Sex Lives of Living Things, opening Saturday, October 31, 2026. Creator and YouTuber Hajimemashite Matsuo Desu joins as a collaboration creator, producing a visual and an explanatory animation screened in the venue. The band Reisan handles the image song, and Raland's Saya and Nishida serve as exhibition ambassadors and audio guide narrators.
The exhibition covers five chapters, from the forms of sex to sexual diversity that cannot be explained by male and female alone. Hajimemashite Matsuo Desu, whose self-produced Matsuo no Anime runs on a channel with 1.31 million subscribers, will bring the absurd character expression and humor of those works to the venue's explanatory animation.
Reisan is a five-member band in which Saya writes the lyrics and music and sings as CLR. The image song title has not been announced, and the track is also set to appear in television commercials. Raland, already named ambassadors, will have Saya and Nishida narrate the audio guide.
Maria Fernanda Cardoso's video work On the Origin of Art I-II, capturing the courtship behavior of Australia's peacock spider genus, will be shown on a large screen at the venue.
