[News] ayumi hamasaki will provide new theme song for Tales of Xillia2

[TeamAyu2004]

I want a ballads, BEST, remix albums, album, and 3 singles.

^^OVERLOAD lol

[Delicious n Bold]

to be honest, I'm not holding my breath...
You know, at least angela's new album comes out 2 days after my b-day. So I'm content with an amazing birthday.
But hasn't Ayu surprised us before? Maybe she'll drop something just in time for school again. Oh that'll make linguistics SO much more bearable.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^I Know right haha, I'll keep hoping!

[Delicious n Bold]

You know, I kinda sympathize with Ayu for creating these albums. Writing lyrics is hard work, and making it flow is even harder. It's worse when you have no inspiration. I kinda want her to take her time and make something amazing than rush and put out god-awful stuff.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Yeah, while I don't think PQ was awful, just Love songs from last year is much better. But I'm not sure why...the lyrics are great, the concept is great, her voice is great...maybe it's the producers and arrangers.

[Delicious n Bold]

Love songs stunk of delicious 90s nostalgia, that's why it was so good lol

But I think cause it's going to be Xillia 2, it'll have the same sound as progress, not identical, but same themes.

Although I'd like something new as well.

[jessicar]

I kinda doubt she'll release another mini-album so I'm sure we'll be hearing the song on a single since an album seems very unlikely...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Yeah I think there is a good chance it will be like progress part 2.

[adantatu2]

I think it could be progress -Episode II-, a rock song or a ballad.

I agreed with maikkun~~should be same themes

I want the song to be about the male protagonists perspective throughout the game. Like, I'm sure there will be a fricking epic ending to end the "Xillia" series (not sure if it ends with this part) the song should hint the ending (just hint the ending), and then when we play the game (won't happen) and come to that part, we go all "OMG this is what she's singing about!". I'm not good at explaining myself, but it needs to be epic again, and no more ballads! (rock ballads are welcome but ballads x rock like progress not!) and maybe the B-side about the girl? Whatever the case, DAI and H/\L must team up for this. Maybe it's time for CREA to make a comeback too.

(I hope it's like Videogame music just as epic as Utada Hikaru's Simple and Clean, Shoko Nakagawa's RAY OF LIGHT and FLAIR's (Namco Sound Team) Subarashiki Shin Sekai or at least a song which would fit an anime opening or ending).

I'm a sucker for videogame music.

BEST album isn't on my WANT list, cause we'll eventually get one. Having A BALLADS ~episode II~ would have been GREAT.

[kimmeh]

oh god no more ballads. give me a rockish song like 'End of The World'

[TeamAyu2004]

^ no no no no... thats such a bad song!

[YuriChan]

^I beg to differ.. It's the best song on Duty (other than Duty)!

blas.phe.my


but oh god, please no ballads. If we have to have one...please stick to the usual generic rock ballads. At least they're a little more interesting.
