Moira is the sixth story CD released by the Japanese fantasy band Sound Horizon. It was released on September 3, 2008 through King Records. This album is the first and only to feature vocalists Takashi Utsunomiya,[2] Yoshimi Iwasaki and Ayaka Naito. It is also the first album with vocalists Miki Masuda and Minami Kuribayashi and the last to feature long time vocalists YUUKI, KAORI, and Haruka Shimotsuki. The album debuted at No. 3 on the Oricon weekly album charts, selling over 45,000 copies in its initial week.[3]
Moira's plot and Greek setting is very loosely modeled after real-life Greek mythology, the Iliad, and Heinrich Schliemann's discovery of the lost city of Troy (Ilion) using the epic as his guide during the late 19th century.
