Ayu is set to be the closing performer (well, before Kishidan, haha) at the Kishidan Banpaku 2012 (a rock and roll festival held by the group Kishidan, you may know of them from their very interesting hair)! This is her first performance at this event.

NICE~! Wonder what she'll perform?

[RayJason]

Hoping for Rule / Mirrorcle World...

Thanks for sharing this news!

[TeamAyu2004]

I wonder if it will be broadcasted?

[truehappiness]

It's usually on DVD at least. Not sure about a TV broadcast.

[!Lawi!]

Can I dream ?

She's gonna perfom her ToX song, a fierce rock-ish song

[/DREAM]

Some articles. Over the two day festival, they expect about 50,000~ attendees.

It seems that Ayu was a "BIG SURPRISE" artist? Previously, she wasn't announced until like an hour ago.

[TeamAyu2004]

It is kinda a surprise... I really don't think of ayumi when I think rock... if her new song has rock elements this would be perfect to debut it.

[ExodusUK]

I wonder if Ayu's performance will be longer than a hour since she's the second to last performer.
I hope her voice is good, I can't imagine how people who aren't there for Ayu or fans will react to her "unpredictable" voice

[pommy48]

Haha Ayu is such a rock girl, so hope she'll actually perform her 'rock songs'

Another performance of countdown would be perfect <3

[ExodusUK]

TK will be there too as part of TM Revolution maybe they can debut the new together (90% likely he's the composer once again).

[TeamAyu2004]

^ you mean the new song?
Did he compose progress

Yeah and You & Me

[TeamAyu2004]

Cool, I liked both, and since i think it was confirmed that the songs will be similar, we can assume, yes.

[truehappiness]

We actually don't know anything about the next Tales song other than that it's fast/speedy with lots of guitar.

The theme song sang by Ayumi Hamasaki has an upbeat temp. It’s a magnificent song featuring a strong guitar part, and it has a very speedy feeling. It was written in accordance with the previous title. Ufotable is making the opening animation for us.

Basically, it 'fits' the game like progress did for ToX, whatever that means.

Original interview:
編:
ゲｰム本編以外の部分についてお聞きします。
『TOX2』のテｰマソングも前作に引き続き浜崎あゆみさんが担当するということですが、今回 はどんな雰囲 気の楽曲なのでしょう?

馬場:
やっぱりオｰプニングで、｢よし、これからやるぞ!｣という気持ちになってもらいたいので、曲 調はアップテ ンポです。
演奏ではストリングスも入っていますし、ギタｰがガツンと入ってくるフレｰズもありますし、
とても疾走感があってスケｰルの大きな楽曲。
前作と同じく、歌詞も『TOX2』の世界観、テｰマに合わせて書き下ろしていただきました。
大好評だった前作の｢progress｣に勝るとも劣らない、素晴らしいテｰマソングですよ。
また、その楽曲に負けない『TOX』を超えるオｰプニングムｰビｰを、現在ufotableさ んに着々と作 っていただいているところです。

Translated by maikaru:
It says it's a large scale song, that is very uptempo, which gives the feeling of "Alright!! We're going to do this now!!"
There's strings, and there's also guitar phrases which really make an impact.
It's a song that is really written to match with the world of the game.
It is a song that is in now way inferior to the previous "progress," and it's a splendid opening song.
They are now producing an opening reel that will live up to the intensity of the song, and this movie is being steadily produced by ufotable.

I think Yuta may have done the new song unless she had DAI or Kazuhiro Hara do it which would be amazing.

And no surprise Ayu is taking part on this, in the end, she is a close friend to Dj Ozma, isn't she?

omg ur right sorry, i was getting confused with Happening Here for some reason which are miles apart lmao

[TeamAyu2004]

I was going by the quoted part truehappiness said about progress. If the second game is anything.like the first, then we are looking at progress part 2 really.
And blah on you for mixing.up names, lol.
Either way both songs are excellent.

[Chibi-Chan]

Oh god, I'm so excited about this performance! A rock and roll festival souns very promising!

[ayumisrael]

Usually ayu wouldn't participate in these things since it's "small" for her (I would think) but it's great hahaha =D

She's gonna sing some rock songs obviously.
