Ayumi Hamasaki to sing the theme song for「Buddha 2」
 

Mod: News confirmed

Hi! I'm not sure if its the right place to post this or if this has been posted but I just did a search for Ayu and apparently this news appeared on the result. It was just posted an hour ago. I wonder if its true or not. Mods please feel free to move this thread.

Wish i could do more translation but i'm running for work now. LOL

Hope its true!

Yeah! Me too! its about time. PRAY sounds like its going to be a ballad.

it looks like an anime movie~

I believe it is. It's adapted from a manga by Tezuka Osamu (a legendary manga artist).

To me PRAY sounds rock. Especially all caps, lol.

Tommy heavenly had a song called Pray. I loved it.

the title makes me think of something like this:


or a mid tempo rock/orchestra track.

The movie at least the theme of the story makes me think it should be something etherial like Road To Glory. But i know for a fact Ayu is not gonna do anything of that sort, i am not sure if she could pull it off even tho i'd love to hear something like that would love to see her chalanging herself for something she hadn't done yet..

Is it too soon to get excited??
Neeeooowww moooosic

I can hear BRILLANTE music type. Some hindustani or arabian thingy.

I'll be honest, it made me think of the song of the same name by B'z! :laugh But, I'm just a slightly biased fangirl. :P (But then again, the song I'm thinking of is a rock ballad. o_o) It'll be cool if it had a Utada Hikaru "Passion" sound. :D

Ayu just RTed a fan's tweet regarding this so its pretty much confirmed! wooohoo! The new Ayu era is about to begin!

^Yes, new music, omg, im so happy !!
I miss ayu.

I don't know what is this 映画『BUDDHA2 手塚治虫のブッダ-終わりなき旅-』は2014年2月8日より全国公開
But i think we could get a new album or mini till next year

^the movie will be released on Feb 8, 2014 so we might get previews in 2-3months from now

Omg, exciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiited. PRAY sounds epic.

yay finally something new from ayu!
i think it's gonna be fast song. like song 4 u type.

I just saw her retweet too. There's a page-long article about the new song. Apparently it's "Pray", written by Kunio Tago?

Definitely excited about this. I really can't tell the genre just from the title (I mean, stuff like "is this LOVE?" is a fucking headbanger and "ANGEL'S SONG" is a cutesy upbeat song so I think we're gonna be surprised :D) unless it actually says what the song is like in the article (I don't speak Japanese).

I hope it's a good song that gets her to the top.

EDIT
I really _love_ the BUDDHA series by Osamy Tezuka. It's a long-ass set if comic books, but they're really good. I'm very happy that ayu's singing a theme for something in the series.

Omg finally some Ayu music news *.* I can't wait to hear it!

What is it about?

The only thing that sucks about this is the date. I hope we get something in between now and then (besides the CDL :P)

Can't wait! I hope she stays away from the mellowness of LOVE Again and return with something a little more rock oriented.

YAY, so happy she is getting good promos, first Tales and now this film!
