[Article] ayu and "Tales of Xillia" theme song

[njanjayrp]

The people from Kotaku (a video game website) wrote a nice article about Ayu:

[truehappiness]

I really dislike reading the comments at Kotaku though, haha. Sometimes they're so vicious.

[freedreamer]

Someone translate it!!

Nice to see the article.
But, as usual with things concerning Ayu, people commenting on it are Ayu hating morons.

[Deneb]

TALES, PS3, AYUMI? OH YES!!!!

but i can't read japanese nor do i think the song will be in english version

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

OMG so excited! hopefully it's a brand new song, not from Love songs...

a Depend-on-you-ish song please~~

[oneheart]

I really hope they localize this game...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Hopefully this means new single in March/April, then summer single in June/July!

[Minttulatte]

Nice that she has a new tie-in. I wonder what kind of a song it's gonna be. Hopefully something as epic as Love songs album's going to be. *_*

[microphone]

who is the target audience for this game? I remember playing tales of destiny and eternia. seems like a game for young teenagers. anyway, i hope this will help bring more sales.

This is definitely, I think, the biggest video game she's had a tie-in for Then again I'm not sure how big Onimusha is... but that alone should be indication I suppose

I really hope for something epic and fantasy-ish. I wonder if Ayu'll play the game after singing for it Unfortunately for us, Tales games are really randomly chosen to be translated, and like half the series never was.

But this is, I think, the first PS3 Tales game, and they translated the PS2 titles, so we just might... or if they see how much buzz this tie-in is creating with international fans

Onimusha was on popularity decrease when Onimusha 4 was released, no wonder Capcom stopped producing Onimusha games after that. They've also localized Tales of Vesperia for XBOX360. The problem is that Namco seems to be having financial problems and it is believed that it is the reason why they haven't localized Vesperia on PS3 and graces f in US/EU.

Awesome!
I love Tales of games.

[Kazeyomi]

What!? I never seen this thread before O__O until now.
Oh gosh, I know Tales of.. series and theirs theme songs are always amazing (my favourite is Ring a Bell from BONNIE PINK). Omg I'm so excited

[Yoake]

so already a new single? & the album is not out yet ...

[freedreamer]

did anyone tweet her about this? haha
maybe she'll say a lil extra..(or probably give her smiley face)

[Beauty4123]

kinda random, but i found a trailer for this video game:

[freedreamer]

Games looking good! But surely for ps3...the graphics would be better right? I'm so happy to see Ayu' name hahaha...it's like, a new person watching would find it totally random haha

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

Wouldn't it be funny if they made her play the game first so she can write the song for it? Kind of like how artists usually get to view movies before they start on its theme song, you know? Hahaha.

Nah, but seriously, it's most likely a new single written for the game; whether it'll be her leading track or coupling track is a totally different story, but I think it's highly likely it'll be a new track. The only recut track (correct me if I'm wrong) is Secret for that Chinese movie (which I'm assuming was recut on budget restraints). I'm not entirely sure on Depend on you's situation, but I'm pretty sure Startin' was written for Onimusha or at least inspired by it. Then we also have HEAVEN and Rule, both written for the movies SHINOBI and DBZ.

I only really recognize GIRL NEXT DOOR's track, but that alone makes me excited to see if maybe it'll be like a lead single for Ayu's trance album.

thanks for the trailer
looking good...looking good...
