Of course it's true. If I wasn't sure about information I posted I'd state it's a rumor.. This news was stated by about 10 official news sites :p But thanks for an english version

Eww, why couldnt Ayu just sing for the next Katamari Damacy or Final Fantasy instead.. >.< I hate Onimusha, the camera in the 3 games suck so badly.. Luckily the album comes out earlier! ^^ Final Fantasy 7 would surely beat Onimusha flat..

Hehe I am afraid the game can't top the other two. Or maybe I'm just too biased with Final Fantasy titles~! Hehe. Look forward to these 2 songs =D

cool

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!

She sung Depend on you for the video game Thousand Arms on the PlayStation years ago... :3

Because that Japanese person Angela or whatever her name is is singing for Final Fantasy XII.

Thanks for the english article :)

any videos yet?

hell yeah!! i know heaps of people who discovered Utada Hikaru from Kingdom Hearts!

but i bet America are going to remake AYu's song ofcourse, but maybe when people download that song from P2P programs they might also download the original Ayu's one too~

well they should have like a "bonus" DVD and show an Ayumi PV for Startin' or rainy days!! yeah!! that will be awesome!!

AHHHHHH.....i can't wait for the album....i have a feeling this album will be the greatest from all her past albums judging from the singles she has released so far + B&D...i love this 2005 singles much much much better than her past singles

A BALLAD! OH I CAN'T WAIT!:luv2

OH ME~ people is now startin' to make me getin' relli excited than i already am for Ayu's new album!! :luv2

thanks for the extra info! :)

Angela Aki. :yes

According to _yuki @ T-N it shall actually be a single. The single "Startin'/Rainy Day" will go on sale January 25th, according to this. Don't think this was posted before.

It probably will be a single by itself.. after all, most songs come out a little before the actual game.. like with Magna Carta and stuff.. how was it with Hikari? Did she release it a while before the release of KH?

Zeo

Yeah I thought it was odd to release into an album since I donno.. having a whole single would be more of traditional. Koda Kumi and Utada released a single themselves when they sang a theme song.

Anyhow I checked for you. Hikari came out on 2002/03/20 but then COLORS had an English version of Hikari - Simple and Clean which came out on 2003/01/29.

Kingdom Hearts Release Date:
