"Rule", Dragon Ball movie theme song.

Ayu will be in charge of the theme song for the upcoming Dragon Ball movie (Dragon Ball Evolution). It's entitled "Rule" and it's described as a rock number. The release date is unknown.

Ayu goes global with "Dragonball" movie
Ayumi Hamasaki has been chosen to provide the theme song for the Hollywood-produced live-action "Dragonball" movie. All releases of the film worldwide will use her new rock tune "Rule," sung in Japanese. Director James Wong, said to be a big fan of Hamasaki, extended her the offer.

It is rare for a song by a Japanese artist to be used in all international releases of a movie. And for Hamasaki, this will also be her first time doing a song for a foreign film.

The movie is being released under the title "Dragonball Evolution" in Japan on March 13, ahead of the U.S. release in April. The film is expected to be shown in more than 60 countries around the world.

Not that horrible Dragonball that Hollywood is working on right? I don't want Ayu's name associated with that.

As long as it's not that then all right!!! Looking forward to it.

Eww Dragonball movie. Anyway Sanspo is down it seems so here is a copy paste of the article from 2ch.

あゆ「ドラゴンボール」全世界テーマソング

歌手、浜崎あゆみ(30)が、人気漫画「ドラゴンボール」をハリウッドで実写化した映画「DRAGONBA LL EVOLUTION」の
全世界テーマソングを歌うことが9日、分かった。映画は世界60カ国以上での公開が決定しており、あゆが本 格的に世界進出に乗り出す。

「DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION」(ジェームズ・ウォン監督)は、世界で3億5000万部を売 り上げた漫画家、
鳥山明氏の代表作「ドラゴンボール」の実写版で、総製作費100億円以上の超大作。

すでに来年3月13日の日本公開を皮切りに、世界60カ国以上での公開が決定しており、すべての国であゆの 楽曲が
スクリーンを彩ることになる。

きっかけは、ウォン監督と配給元の20世紀フォックスからの熱いラブコール。製作側の「日本で生まれた大ヒ ット漫画の
テーマソングは日本人に歌ってほしい」との意向で、日本人歌手に絞って探していたところ、あゆの楽曲を聴い たウォン監督が
「心に深く残るメッセージ性の強い作品(楽曲)」と感動し、依頼。これをあゆが快諾した。

テーマソング「Rule」(来年発売)は日本語詞のロックナンバー。全世界タイアップながらも、ウォン監督 の「クールな
日本語がいい」との依頼で、あゆが日本語で作詞。脚本を読んでポジティブな主人公をイメージして書き上げた 。

昨年、初のアジアツアーを成功させるなど海外に視野を向けて着実に活躍の場を広げてきたあゆ。ハリウッド映 画の
テーマソングを歌うのは初めてで「昔から好きだった漫画の1つなので、とても光栄。世界各国でドラゴンボー ルワールドが
愛されることを期待します」と話している。


A google says that Dragonball Evolution is indeed the American film. So this is why the song was going to America...

That's cool. But I don't like the fact that they are making a "real" movie out of DB. It should stay as anime / manga.

Wow! Can't wait to listen to it.
I think that is the song Ayu mentioned in TA Messages.
It must be a super ROCK song!!

Is Ayu going to the America for the PV?
There is a higher chance for us to have a new album.
