awsome!!!

It will be awesome IF they will have ayu's song in the trailer. That is what usually happens but there is still a chanse they won't include her song in them. But... Here's for hoping! :D

I really doubt she will release anything before September because of that blu-rays on 7/20.

^ but sometimes she release a DVD and a album/single/something on the same day :)
I think we'll have a new single in july/august

on the latest scans of ToX info :



They haven't put the song name or something about the song...
Well, just wait until the official trailer >__<

I'm not gonna talk much about the release date, but I assume it's a week or a day before the release of Tales of Xillia, maybe in August. Because, CD usually released on Wednesday, and Game is usually released on Thursday.

For comparison
Tales of Eternia : November 30, 2000 | Garnet Crow single : November 29th 2000
Tales of Rebirth : December 16, 2004 | ELT single : December, 15th 2004
Tales of Vesperia : August, 7 2008 | Bonnie Pink single : August, 6th 2008
Tales of Hearts : December, 18 2008 | DEEN single : December, 10th 2008
Tales of VS : August 6, 2009 | GIRL NEXT DOOR single : August 5, 2009
Tales of Graces : December, 10 2009 | BoA single : December, 9th 2009
Tales of the World Radiant Mythology 3 : February 10, 2011 | BACK ON single : February, 9th 2011
Final Fantasy X-2 : March 13, 2003 | Koda Kumi single : March 5, 2003

although some case could be like this
Final Fantasy IX : July 7, 2000 | Emiko Shiratori single : August 2, 2000

but, who knows? It's ayu~

^あゆ is on the scan too, we might have a new song coming soon..!

With the explanation HTMSD gives, I do think now that we get a new single in August.

HTMSD?

The user two posts above mine. XD

Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams : January 26, 2006 | ayu single Startin' : March 8, 2006
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onimusha:_Dawn_of_Dreams

Yeah, it was just a key point used for the spread... "SIX KEY WORDS" or something for ToX. I saw it at the Magic Box and I was hoping they would have more than the same sentence or two that they've used since we first got the info, haha.

They're really waiting a long time to reveal ANY information whatsoever. I hope there's a reason for it, haha. Is it just me or when it comes to Ayu releases, there's almost always a huge delay between information leaks? l

http://www.talesunion.com/news/next-...nth--1660.html

According to this, the next trailer is for sure showing at Tales of Festival 2011 with the trailer being posted online a day after.

i'm realllllllly hoping so!!!!

EDIT: Ayu just mentioned to Leslie Kee a new single and PV and she wants him to shoot it! Maybe its for this song?!

Probably.

Knowing her, she probably also has a second A-side/a B-side ready as well.

So right now there is the Tales of Xillia theme song, her duet with Urata Naoya, and perhaps some other songs done on the side! All that's left is to actually release them! ffffu~

^huuuuurrry ayu!!!!

and I'm really excited for the cover and PV since Leslie is gonna shoot for it!



Well, the same case with Final Fantasy IX's theme song. Since the single also contain the theme song for the US version of the game, they made it released later than the game. For Startin's case, I think they released the same date as the US version (released March 7, 2006) of the game because the US version of Shin Onimusha also had Startin' (Japan ver) as the theme song.
Not like Tales, which some of the theme song is edited as Instrumental ~__~"

Still have to shoot everything and edit then manufacture it all. Could be a while.

Shouldn't be too long considering that the shoot for ayu-mi-x 7 happened a month before release. The shots were done in February with the original release date in March. It's very interesting how quickly Ayu's team can get stuff done despite really pushing it when it comes to deadlines it seems, lol.

I am really excited to see the cover than to know the release date or the title.

hopefully leslie kee will shoot the covers! but I dunno about him doing the pv too...

i really think with all we know the single will be out in august with the game like HTMSD was saying. i mean, that gives them TWO full months for all that stuff.

I must of missed something...
When did they say the game was being released in August??

^I think, end of May?

^^it is the end of may. there's a little less than a week of may.

^ Its the trailer for the game that will be released in the end of May
i think >.<

Someone accidentally leaked a release date in one of their press releases and it said 08/2011 before they removed it according to a blog that screencapped the page.

http://www.talesunion.com/news/tales...pan--1645.html

^ ahh.. a leak! cool..
Cant wait for this!

LESLIE AS A DIRECTOR?!?!

it's gonna be aesthetic!
and...LESLIE X AYU ERA IS BACK!

Well, I don't think it will result in anything TOO big.

To be honest, I think it will probably be a plain video a la HEAVEN. Though HEAVEN had a bit of a twist to it.


His directorial debut with Yuming, I think.

a ballad would be nice. I can't wait!

The video was kinda meh. a lot of meh.

I feel like complaining, because I don't want another ballad, or him to direct one of her pvs, but I won't lol Until more is revealed :)

i hope the tweets between ayu and leslie will come true...
ayu asking him to take a cover pic of her new single and directing a new PV..
i hope it's a hint for upcoming new single~

^ looks like they are organizing it ~~ >w<~

I know this is stating the obvious, but Shin Onimusha and Final Fantasy IX are from completely different publishers. Not only that, but since the release of FFIX, I think the FF series has been pretty consistent with working out single releases about a week before the game's Japanese release. As a result, I'm not sure those games are relevant comparisons. Judging by your previous post, Tales has been really consistent on its own, so I wouldn't worry too much.

I hope we will know something new in few days
I really need new Ayu's stuff now!!

A PV directed by Leslie Kee would be cool, if he's as good at directing as at photography ^^
But my secret wish is her to call back Kouki Tange *___*

yea i hope leslie kee is great in directing PV..
coz it's a surprise to know that he can direct a PV..

Holy crap!!
I just thought, but do you think she will sing the English version of the song if it comes to America (or will they get another artist or just have the BG music playing?)

^I hope so!
Boa did the same with Mamoritai ~white wishes~ for Tales of Grace.

i will be so happy if it will be her first english song!!!

guys...if it will be another startin type of song? you will be happy or not?

I hope there'll be English ver for this xD

I guess it could go both ways. Still I kinda doubt Ayu will record a song in English, though it would be interesting.

BONNIE PINK also had 2 versions of the Tales of Vesperia song. Sadly to this day Graces hasn't been released outside of Japan so we don't know if they will use the English version in the US/EU versions which are due in 2012.

as much as I can find Ayu's english cute.. I really don't want a engrish song a-la real emotion ugh.

Don't know what she has prepared, but I'd definitely want something darker than Startin', or at least a song à la Rule, Microphone, ... !

I would be happy with any not-ballad song... and not-ultra-cute-Thank U

I just hope the song is fierce.

I want an electropop song on the new single so bad

I wouldn't mind this song being a rock-pop song. But that's just me. :)

I would love have a rockish pop song as well! Something along the lines of Because of you
Or something different like something along the lines of Evolution!

I want it to be a mix of: Rule, evolution and Virgin Road.
(Ballad with rock and pop elements... wonder if it exists)

We already have that, it's Last Angel :)

I wouldn't exactly say Because of you is poppy at all, but I'm all for it.

Ooh... Things are getting really interesting - it's heating up...

I seriously hope we'll have an extract on saturday, everyone is so hyped now x)

All I want Is the official release date with the official covers at her official website. :(

i'm hoping for something similar to Sparkle or Sexy Little Things

Sparkle: :yes
Sexy little things: :shakehead
Never another Sexy little things.

SLT is one of the best Ayu wonders that happend in my life!

^:yes same!!

sexy little thing is the most innovative song she ever has

Just please don't let it be another ballad or a cute song like Thank U, I'm so sick of them...

i don't think she will make a cute song as the theme for the game..except if the game would be like very girlish game, then it would be fine if she makes them. I think the song would be a ballad..i just think...it would be great if she would make a ballad...a Grand Ballad would great~~

and for a song like "Startin'" would be nice to, but if the game is an action adventure game like Omnimusha. Which is most suitable...and didn't the game has an ending theme song of, "Rainy Day", and it was a ballad~~remember?? :)

have a feeling it would be a ballad.

I kinda expect something like blossom

I can't stand Slt! It was such a disappointment for me. The beat is absolutely annoying!

:yes it's like, her most addicting song ever omg I love it so much like you don't even know how many workouts it has carried me through. it's one of my fav ayu upbeat songs. I'd kill for another one like it.

I'm just mad it wasn't sexy.

I dont like sexy little things as well...
I don't know why, just never cared for it.

Based on past games in the series, I'm thinking of something along the lines of an up beat tempo...
But it also depends on the type of world that the game developers have envisioned.. If its a dark world then a sugarie/cuteis song would not do.
From all the pictures and everything the world seems super dark (and they keep saything how the game developers are playing with shadows and light/dark elements) .
I'm thinking a rockish song will fit, just from the previews we already have...

^I NEED a rockish song *___* Please Ayu, t2m ~episode II~ !

BTW, is there a precise hour for the broadcast or can it be available at any hour ?

I want something fun & uplifting. Don't want rock or a ballad from her right now.

I got the feeling that is gonna be something magic~ (fairyland...)

Had a dream about the new song last night but can't remember much. It was featured on a dance-music radio show for the first time. Intro was kinda like Sparkle but the song quickly changed into something you might hear on Love songs.

whatever it's gonna be, i just want to hear her voice again...i need Ayu now.

:yes
YES LOVE HER.

I don't care what style it is right now I guess, just want it to be a 100% KICKASS song. Whatever style it is, I will not care if it is a great song for that genre. I could say I want a ballad because I don't think there has been a ballad I absolutely freaking loved from her in a long time! Not just a ballad, an AMAZING ballad (hate Virgin Road).

http://www44.atwiki.jp/talesofxillia/


according to the site, the new song is called <progress>

^Finally some news ! I kinda like the title, especially because for me it sounds like an upbeat song title =D

EDIT : Oh well, it's a ballad after all :laugh

Thank you ! Sounds enticing ^^
I wonder if there was a trailer in the fest xD

people who went there and watched the trailer said it's something like HEAVEN / part of Me,。 The trailer should be on the internet pretty soon

Yay!! Thank you =D

I love HEAVEN and part of Me ^_^

I don't know if everyone noticed but on this site they say that the game's release date is September 8th, I checked on Tales of Xillia's official site and it's true!

Wow, something between part of me and Heaven.. I love Heaven!

I cant wait for this!

if the tittle is real is a bit simple ._.

I love HEAVEN and part of Me, but hey... Wish it was smth like Mirrorcle World =(

:thud @ the title and the song's genre and :thud @ the release date

:luv2:luv2 those songs! but hey the title :thud LOL

progress sounds a bit weird for a ballad xD I guess we'll know once the trailer is up, they said it will be available tomorrow on the ToX website, but it will hopefully leak during the day.

can't wait to hear the trailer for the song!

zomg part of ME and HEAVEN?! THIS FEELS SO ETHEREAL ALREADY

progress is a nice title, but it's odd for a ballad :laugh and OMG HEAVEN :luv2 it will be epic.

progress :D sounds awesome, recalling NEXT LEVEL excitement

HEAVEN and part of Me, great! those two are my fav <3, that means another ballad
progress looks so-so for me, Progress would be better :P

the trailer is tomorrow??? cant wait!!!

That sounds amazing, hope it is true...

I don't find the title weird at all. :D Progress sounds like a epic ballad title to me. :3

Hm, I love HEAVEN and dislike part of Me. Curious how it'll turn out!
Would prefer an upbeat song though.

Hmm... Let's see - or hear - how things will turn out...

I wouldn't really believe everything people say, especially when I know that so many people even on here think BLUE BIRD and glitter are similar...so yeah who knows what the song really sounds like.

So, posible release date in September? Too early for announce and covers
