"Song 4 u" - Tales of Xillia 2 theme song revealed at TGS2012!

[truehappiness]

It's a speedy rock number with strings! Just as they said... there's quite a bit of a 'wow yeah' moment in the song, I think.

The excitement... agh!! I CAN'T HANDLE IT. IT'S AMAAZING!!!! It's a very classic sounding song imo.

A shame about the title though. Very... odd choice for Ayu.



Composers

Spoiler:

作詞/Lyricist:ayumi hamasaki
作曲/Composition:HINATAspring/Yuta Nakano
*not confirmed, but highly likely since they have downloads available


It appears that the song was a collaboration with Yuta and one of Do As Infinity's composers.

Lyrics so far

Spoiler:

今だってそんなに自信はないよ

踏み出せない時もあるよ
もし間違っていたり
くり返しちゃったりしたら
どうしようって

選ばないだけなら
不安はないね
だけど変わることもないよね

いつからだどうなった
もう駄目だと全て
おしまいだってなってた
Uh~あの時

なんだったああ誰だった
そうなんでも
なんとかもう一度って思って
進めたのは

to u Yeah～ Yea　Yea　Ye　Yeaｈ～（×２）

信じてる
信じられてる

4～u Yeah～Yea　Yea　Ye　Yeaｈ～（×２）

空だってそう飛べる気がする

ただ1人君の為なら・・・

Some transcribed lyrics. May not be correct.

Actually, even now, I'm not that confident

I sometimes can't step forward
Thinking, "what to do,
If I make mistakes?
If I repeat myself?"

If you don't choose
You won't feel anxiety
But nothing will change either, right?

Translation of the first three stanzas by tenshi no hane.
