Maaya Sakamoto, who has surpassed her 30th debut anniversary, released a best album of Fate/Grand Order theme songs on July 29. The album, titled "Yoin," collects all six theme songs she has sung for the smartphone RPG over its 11-year run, from the opening theme "Shikisai" to "Toki," which accompanied the story's grand finale at the end of December 2025. In a long interview published the same day, Sakamoto discussed her career and the creative process behind the songs, including her collaboration with writer Kinoko Nasu. She described how Nasu offered her the first theme song before the game's launch, telling her the planned ending in advance. She said her lyrics for "Shikisai" became fuel for Nasu, who made the ending link considerably to those lyrics. Sakamoto also reflected on her 30th anniversary year, which concluded with a live at Ariake Arena in April, and admitted she has been in an afterglow since, unable to move forward. She noted that she has never set long-term goals and does not know what the 35th anniversary will bring.
