[my clarifications, though I don't speak Japanese]
The single "ORANGE*NIGHT" [ranked 12th place on Oricon was released during the second half of the year on November 2.] It was then clarified, at this time, that Rina Aiuchi was to sing the theme song of popular game software.

The game is software for PlayStation 2 which is scheduled to be relased in March, 2006 'Another Century's Episode 2' (Anazarsenturezepisord 2). The popular game has robot action. [I think episode 1? unless they're projecting about the future of episode 2...] was put on the market on January 27 this year, and became a blockbuster that exceeded 280,000 total sales. Rina Aiuchi will take charge of the theme song and the ending song of the game of the second series.

The theme song is a new song named "GLORIOUS". A powerful guitar & base, and the beat with which the dash feeling overflows with a relaxed voice and a gentle, chorus powerfully repeated at times. It's an impressive, hot rock tune in the track that develops with exquisiteness while being intertwined. It is the one that she wrote according to the ..lyrics.. in present times and in the solitary future, everyone is forced to live with the fight and the glory, "will be ..".. theme.

The release of the song is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2006 and Rina is currently recording the song now as well as game software [is being developed?]. [I think the rest basically talks about a release of a TV CM with the theme song, and there will be a lot of exposure for the new song, and it's expected to be a smash hit].

If anyone can further clarify this article, that'd be great ^.^* It looks like Rina will sing both opening and ending themes~

Nice. I just hope she'll make an amazing song this time.

Oooh, more Aiuchi Rina stuff... but honestly I dislike her new 'rock-ish' style. It doesn't match her and I wish she'd go back to her dance-pop or her old tunes sort of thing.

Oh cool, Hitomi Shimatani sang the songs for Another Century's Episode 1. It's neat that two of my favorite artists sing songs for these games!

Thanks for the info!

i hardly hear news of her

True, i preferred her dance pop stuff too.

Actually I really like Rina coz of her rock style. Seductive Medicine, Forever You, Start. Awesome songs.

Her dance songs like Painted Black, Double Hearted were better than her singles I think. I never really liked Be Happy. Power Of Words and AIR were awesome awesome albums.

Forever You is rock? o_O
