Overview

アポカリプスに反逆の焔を焚べろ (Apocalypse ni Hangyaku no Honoo o Kubero) is an original commission from cosMo@暴走AlterEgo for the maimai DX arcade rhythm game, debuting on December 13, 2019. The track marks a notable first in the composer's career: while cosMo is widely known by his producer handle @暴走P (BousouP) in the VOCALOID and BMS scenes, this song was the very first commissioned piece overall to carry the @暴走AlterEgo alias, signaling a distinct creative persona separate from his usual work. The song's title, whose kanji portion reads "hangyaku no honoo o kubero" (kindle the flames of rebellion), sets an apocalyptic, defiant tone that the music delivers at punishing speed. Starting at a relentless 222 BPM, the track accelerates to 333 BPM midway through, a signature cosMo structural gambit that transforms the chart into a high-speed endurance test. The MASTER chart, designed by サファ太 at level 14 with a constant of 14.5, and the EXPERT chart by シチミヘルツ at level 12 (constant 12.5), both reflect this breakneck pacing. The music video was produced by Hanamori Hiro (花守ひろ). Beyond its in-game presence, the track was selected as the intro theme for the KING of Performai 2019 finals and again for the 2020 East/West area tournaments, cementing its status as a ceremonial boss track within the performai competitive circuit.

Trivia

  • The artist credit uses cosMo@暴走AlterEgo rather than his more common handle @暴走P (BousouP). This was the first commissioned song overall to debut under the @暴走AlterEgo name.
  • The song's kanji reading breaks down as: アポカリプスに (apocalypse ni) + 反逆の焔 (hangyaku no honoo, flames of rebellion) + 焚べろ (kubero, imperative of 'kindle/burn'). The full reading is 'Apocalypse ni hangyaku no honoo o kubero.'
  • The BPM is nominally 222 but jumps to 333 during the middle section. This shift causes a sudden increase in note density and Slide-note speed that can catch players off guard.
  • The song was used as the intro theme for the KING OF PERFORMai 2019 finals and the KING OF PERFORMai 2020 East/West area tournaments.
  • This is cosMo's second song contribution to maimai following ねぇ、壊れタ人形ハ何処へ棄テらレるノ? (MURASAKi).
  • The MASTER chart by サファ太 sits at level 14 with a constant of 14.5, placing it among the more demanding charts in the maimai DX original lineup.
  • The song originally launched with lower difficulty levels: Basic was level 6, Expert was 11+, and Master was 13+ at the time of the maimai DX base version. These were adjusted upward in later versions, Basic to 7 (UNiVERSE+ onward), Expert to 12 (DX PLUS onward), and Master to 14 (DX PLUS onward).
  • The music video was created by Hanamori Hiro (花守ひろ).
  • The track is categorized under the maimai genre in-game, having been moved from the オリジナル (Original) category during the でらっくすPLUS update.
