2026年2月18日、SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]は通算14枚目のシングル『PROVANT』をリリースした。TVアニメ『Fate/strange Fake』のオープニングテーマに決定された本楽曲は、作曲・編曲・プロデュースを澤野弘之が手がけ、ヴォーカルにはJean-Ken Johnny（MAN WITH A MISSION）とTAKUMA（10-FEET）の二重奏が迎え入れられた。140 BPMに張り巡らされたオーケストラと電子サウンド、そして“真贋”を揺さぶる英語ラップと日本人ボーカルの感情高域――三者の化学反応は、偽りの聖杯戦争を象徴するかのような“勢い”と“力強さ”を生み出している。
歌詞
幻惑の対価
Chya don't get it
絶命か GIFT かの脅威
甘んじて受けるか？that they tag you with
So go face what's coming and don't ask why
度外視の fake が牽強付会
I'm always getting your back
But now you got to grip the trigger
翻す深紅
Come on Show me how you think
繋げ さもなくば低コントラストの善悪
懺悔を吐けば 骰子次第
Just like all the rest?
Go take some cover
Butchya gotta break out to be the brat
Cuz ya tired of being just a copycat
Feel the blues チラつく筋書き乱す飢渇を feedback
Duck and cover
Butchya gotta bite back
This ain't chitchat
Cuz ya tired of being just a copycat
Cuts and bruises 超俗した次元の契約を刻む
Fist emblazoned
Don't pretend to be someone you're not cuz you feel
攻め込んだ in check なぎ倒した Knight
Today's not the day for you to die
The drifting phantoms 下す采配
Don't pretend to be trapped
You can always appeal
無抵抗に匙を投げる tech はない
So cast all your spells up in the sky
Judge his master 破滅問う原罪
Impersonator
Chya don't get it
Get dressed and feast upon it
You're not sick of the labels that they tag you with?
So go face what's coming and don't ask why
You can't sit and fake a headache and cry
I'm always getting your back
But now you got to grip the trigger
Surf or sink
Come on Show me how you think
Now get some and be yourself and no backin' out
Now get some yeah
And cast the first die
逆説歪む黎明
Go take some cover
Butchya gotta break out to be the brat
Cuz ya tired of being just a copycat
Feel the blues ギラつく指先散らす未完の feedback
Duck and cover
Butchya gotta bite back
This ain't chitchat
Cuz ya tired of being just a copycat
Cuts and bruises 盲目的悦の真贋
Go take some cover
Butchya gotta break out to be the brat
Cuz ya tired of being just a copycat

歌詞意味
冒頭「幻惑の対価」は即ち“偽りの聖杯”に課される代償。ラップパートで繰り返される“copycat”“label”は、偽のサーヴァントや偽の御主（マスター）が貼られまわる“偽名”だ。
“grip the trigger”で令咒を引き金に、“cast the first die”で戦局のサイコロを投じる――選択を回避できない聖杯戦争のルールが提示される。
サビ直前の“Fist emblazoned”は自らの拳に刻印を焼き、偽物であることを逆手に“真贋”を試す決意。最後の“Judge his master”で語り手は相手だけでなく己自身をも裁く立場になり、原罪への問いを投げかける。つまり歌詞は“偽りだらけの世界で、レッテルを剥がし、自らの真偽を証明する覚悟”を貫くものだ。

まとめ
『PROVANT』は楽曲的にも言葉的にも“真と偽の葛藤”を描く一曲。澤野弘之の重層的なオーケストレーションが“偽聖杯戦争”の巨大魔力を象徴し、Jean-Ken Johnnyの鋭利なラップとTAKUMAの感情抜群のメロディが“偽りに抗う意志”を体現する。歌詞の連続する問いかけ“Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not”は、聴く者自身の仮面をも剥がす一刀となり、結果として『Fate/strange Fake』の世界観を音でも言でも鮮やかに彩る――まさに2026年冬、聖杯が放つ最初の砲声である。
