Singer and voice actress Rico Sasaki will release her new single “Majestic Catastrophe” on August 27, 2025. The title track serves as the opening theme for the TV anime Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin, which premieres in July 2025.
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra is a nation-building fantasy series that follows Takuto Ira, a legendary player who once topped the user rankings in Eternal Nations, a nation-management simulation game set in a fantasy world. While hospitalized, he loses consciousness and wakes up in Idragia, a world that feels just like the game. Thus begins a tale of fantasy and empire-building.
“Majestic Catastrophe,” the anime’s opening theme, builds on Sasaki’s signature rock sound while venturing into new territory with a symphonic metal style that reflects the anime’s world. The powerful, dramatic track is matched by Sasaki’s commanding vocals.
The single includes three songs: the title track “Majestic Catastrophe” and two additional tracks, one featuring lyrics written by Sasaki herself.
Comment from Rico Sasaki
I’ll be performing “Majestic Catastrophe,” the opening theme for the TV anime Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin! It’s a dark and beautiful song that brings a sense of catharsis. I sang powerfully to reflect its pressing intensity, and delicately, as if searching for hope in the darkness. The heavy chorus, along with lyrics and a melody that evoke an ominous atmosphere, all work together to draw listeners into the depths of a dark musical world. “Majestic Catastrophe” stirs emotions deep within—get ready to be hooked by its irresistible darkness.
