It’s been announced that music duo EGOIST is in charge of the opening theme song for the upcoming anime series “Fate/Apocrypha” which is scheduled to broadcast in July. The title of the song is “Eiyuu Unmei no Uta” (translates roughly to “Hero: Poem of Fate”). This news has caused EGOIST to trend all across social media as everyone anticipates the release.
EGOIST was created by Ryo of Supercell and originally formed to perform the music from the anime series “Guilty Crown.” The other half of the duo is Chelly who was picked from more than 2,000 other applicants who signed up to join the unit. Every CD they have release to date has featured in the Top 10 on the Oricon Weekly charts. They have performed many songs for numerous hit anime series such as “PSYCHO-PASS,” “PSYCHO-PASS 2,” “Psycho-Pass: The Movie,” the films based on the novels by Project Itoh “The Empire of Corpses,” “Genocidal Organ” and “Harmony,” Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress,” and more.
Fans cannot contain their hype from the announcement that EGOIST will be in charge of producing the opening song for an anime in the “Fate” series – “Fate/Apocrypha.”
《Comment from Chelly》
Hi, I’m the vocalist for EGOIST. We’re going to be working on the opening theme for Fate/Apocrypha. I’ve never even dreamt that a day would come where we’d be able to work with such a big series like “ate/Apocrypha. It’s a true honour and I’m very, very happy. The new song “Eiyuu Unmei no Shi” is currently in the early demo stages. But I can describe my singing as having poured every ounce of my strength into my voice. EGOIST give their biggest respects to the staff behind Fate/Apocrypha and all of our fans. Thank you.

Fate/Grand Order The Movie Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot is an upcoming two-part anime film series, with the first part Wandering; Agateram set for release on August 15, 2020. The series is based on the popular mobile RPG game Fate/Grand Order which has over 50 million downloads worldwide. It has been revealed that the first film's main theme is entitled Dokuhaku ("Monologue") which is written and sung by Maaya Sakamoto and composed and arranged by Takahito Uchisawa of J-rock band androp. Uchisawa previously collaborated with Sakamoto on her 24th single Replica. Nasu Kinoko, the creator of the Fate series, said that the song influenced him when he was writing the scenario for Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot, and that it's a popular song amongst players of FGO. It was also revealed that Maaya Sakamoto will perform the second main theme for the Fate/Grand Order game. Titled Katsudou, the lyrics were written by Sakamoto, it was composed by Koga Shohei of yourness, and the song was arranged and music performed by yourness.
Maaya Sakamoto | Comment
"I asked the director how he wanted me to portray the last scene of the first film and how best to connect it to the second. I gave seriously thought to the song's role as a main theme song and came up with this song, 'Dokuhaku.' When you see that final scene in the theatre, I'm sure you'll be staring at the credit roll unable to even stand as you process the many different emotions swirling inside Bedivere. I think the song we've written is a suitable match for that final moment. Be sure to experience it in the theatre." ©TYPE-MOON / FGO6 ANIME PROJECT Information
