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

Re: English version:

Was Bonnie Pink's "Ring a Bell" used in the international version of Tales of Vesperia? I ask because I think Ayu is closer to Bonnie Pink than Koda Kumi in terms of fluency in English. If "Ring a Bell" was used, than an English version is not outside the realm of possibility. It shouldn't be expected, but it's possible (assuming Bonnie Pink set the precedent).

What I do think we should expect is a physical single release--if not for us, than for Tales fans. Perhaps it will be a limited run, but I can't imagine Avex would miss the opportunity to cash in on Tales fans.

^ Bonnie Pink did sing the international version yes, but her english is SO much better than ayumi's. I dont think you can say they are on the same level...

I really think bandi is just going to do a instrumental like they usually do.

Was FIVE announced a little after progress' initial announcement in May 2011?

well at lease we can pin our hopes on 7-week consecutive CMs 15s and the title plz
