TK :heart good choice

I won't be surprised if Making Fate sounds like like a leftover of Love songs. It could be similar to something like insomnia or overture~

I hope it will be like Startin' for Onimusha

Nice title. <3 And Tetsuya Komuro? *_* Awesome :)

yess i really love what Komuro did for Love songs, it's my fave album til now..
seeing komuro + Nakano work together is just WOWWW!!!

and i just realized that the lyric is so short, don't u guys think?

I'd seriously like for TK to but out already...

Thanks for the news!! Excited!! :D

Quote:

テイルズオブエクシリア主題歌
「Making Fate」

決められた道に何がある
僕らが求めた答え？それとも
あの日交わした約束を
いつまで信じればいい？教えて

泣かないで泣かないで
その涙はまだ天に向かうときじゃない
止まらないで止まらないで
まだ始まったばかり

日が沈む時には
君の手を掴んで走り出そう
変わらない運命に
君を置いては行けない
「サヨナラ」の一言で道が変わるなら
僕は愛を叫んで行こう

Here's a translation of that lyrics excerpt. Very refreshing and heartfelt lyrics this time, feels totally new. ^^

What will we find on the path we've chosen
The answers that we're searching for, or something else?
The promise which we made that day
How long more should I hold onto it? Tell me

Don't cry, don't cry
The time is not right for these tears to travel to heaven
Don't stop, don't stop
We just got started

When the sun sets
I will hold your hand, and set off
I can't just leave you
To face the fate you cannot change
And if saying "goodbye" can change your path
I will shout out my love as we go

Thanks Misa-chan! The nakanaide part is nice (I presume it's the chorus?), the last part is also quite nice, but the first verse is just too cliche and Ayu has sang about stuff like that in so many songs >_>

It's probably the game intro edit of the song.

It could be like Not Yet.

The lyrics are really nice ♥ Hope it will be a nice ballad...? It sounds like a ballad lol

Tales of Xillia looks incredible but the lyrics are disappointing. I can't wait to hear the song anyway!

^ Really? - I love the lyrics! Hopefully it sounds good. I'll have to look what songs Yuta arranged that TK composed.

Edit: Can't find the information. Someone please inform me?

Edit 2: Found it. I was hoping he arranged November but CMJK did.

I guess another soggy Love songs-copy was to be expected for a video game theme, but I'm praying to the music Gods every day for her to please release something upbeat and powerful again. Preferably electro but rock will do as well. Microphone was the last song that blasted me out of my chair and I want that feeling back. If the next single run will be another Moon - Crossroad - etc, I will cry.

^I'm afraid you will cry... I'll cry as well, wanna another Microphone again :(

This song seems like it will be amazing, especially for a video game theme song. The lyrics are nice, and I am glad she's working with TK again. I happen to like his style of music.
I cannot wait for this one~

I don't think this will necessarily be a ballad... I mean almost everyone though Love song/Love songs was going to be jampacked full of ballads, and not surprisingly, it wasn't.

Well I don't mind if this is a ballad. If it's really good, I'll absolutely be a huge fan of it. I just wish for her to go back to Microphone / Sparkle / Rule / EnergizE / identity, that sort of music. OR to go in the direction of Last Angel, that would be even better! Best song on the album hands down if you ask me.

But hey it's just 1 song :) We know nothing about the next album yet so I won't make any preliminary judgement.
