NEW MINI ALBUM『FIVE』 2011.8.31 in stores ~VI~

[microphone]

I'm hoping Tales of Xillia will sell over 230,000 copies in its first week and 400,000 by the end of its run. Ayumi, use your promote attack!

I am so happy to know that Ayu got her 18th No.1 Album.
It's not easy. It's a long long way that she has walked through.


To all of you. What if Ayu never release new single again. Then she release album directly
per year. Do you think it's possible in Japan?

Basically for the No.1 single record she has to pick a specific release day every time..
So Im thinking if it's possible for her. Plus she will have more time on her music then..

Clearly this is going to be a very popular game, hopefully there is a coorelation between the success of the game and FIVE!

some FIVE versions could have been sold along with the game, like a combo, so ayu would sell like 200,000!!

Other than that, I think that nearly perfect scores are still a sign for a good game. Tales games are always nice (except spin-offs like the ToS one, I never got over that ), and ToS was one of my favourite RPGs ever. Tales has an reputation + paired with a good rating + PS3 should mean high sales and exposure for Progress too. Opening sequences are always beautiful, so there's a high chance that people actually listen to the song and decide to buy it. (I didn't know till now that there was a song for FFXIII, but I always liked to listen to the Tales songs before I started playing).

Namco Bandai's artist selection has been better so far. FF songs have lately sucked. Even though I love Angela Aki, Kiss Me Goodbye is among her worse songs. And the Japanese FFXIII track was beyond terrible, while Leona's wasn't that bad.

I didn't mind the Japanese track for FFXIII But even though I hate anything to do with reality TV contestents and whatnot... Leona's was better.

^ I just thought it was boring. Eyes on Me and Sutaki da ne? were WAY better imo, real Emotion/1000 Words as well.

WOW the music and the video go hand in hand perfectly!
this makes up for the bad MV :3 this is my new progress PV xp haha

[Jason]

I was just thinking actually... Ayu should have done a whole anime PV for progress like the opening of the game O_O Would have been so much better

[AyumiAi]

^anything would have been better than progress

Well, it could have been another TO BE PV or something *shudders* >.<

But yeah. It was just a 'meh' PV.

[AyumiAi]

^ lol agreed

[truehappiness]

The PV that they made took waaay more effort to make than a normal PV though. I think people underrate progress' PV too much.

[AyumiAi]

^ yes but it had no ayu in it, just random people whom i really couldnt have cared about, and i would have though more highly of it if Ayu had actually flown to California to film it but her appearing was done with green screen T_T though im glad we dont have any more pv's in California cuz we got enough of that with LS
