"To You 2,000... or... 20,000 Years From Now..." (Japanese: 二千年... 若しくは... 二万年後の君へ・・・, Hepburn: Nisennen... Moshiku wa... Nimannen Go no Kimi e...) is a song by the Japanese band Linked Horizon. It serves as the ending theme for the anime television special Attack on Titan: The Final Chapters (Part 2), which aired on NHK General TV on 5 November 2023.

Background and release

Prior to the release of the song, the band Linked Horizon had made multiple songs for the anime series Attack on Titan since beginning in 2013, including the openings "Guren no Yumiya" for season one and "Shinzō wo Sasageyo!" for season two.[1][2][3] Alongside the opening to the anime season titled "The Last Titan" the release of the song would mark the first time in four and a half years the band would create a new song.[4][2] The song features vocals performed by Yui Ishikawa and Yuki Kaji, who voiced the characters Mikasa Ackerman and Eren Yeager in the anime respectively.[5]

The song would be released under a Pony Canyon label on 5 November 2023 as the ending theme for Attack on Titan: The Final Chapters (Part 2). The song would first air on NHK General TV as part of the anime's finale,[1] and shortly afterwards be released to various streaming platforms.[6]
