yup! its their 33rd single that will be released on 7/25! the song's title "777" refers to their 7th anniversary (=
it reminds me of "glitter" era...

And wow people, progress was not that great...

wow dude, why so negative?

Anyway, this is great news! Allthough we must probably wait for a long long time.

[tetsuo69]

great news, i really enjoy progress

[freedreamer]

All i know is...this is probably gonna be another EPIC track...whether it is gonna be like progress or not doesnt matter

[truehappiness]

The theme for this game is very epic sounding.

"ARE YOU PREPARED TO SAVE THE WORLD FOR THE GIRL?"

With all sorts of very epic sounding quotes from the game...

I imagine that the song will be about changing the future with decisions in the present, since there's an element of "weaving the future" through your choices in the game.

[Aderianu]

What is possible release date? If somewhere in December, I'm afraid it may be a ballad.

I hope she release something this summer or autumn -_-

[tinka69]

YAY! just hope it's not a ballad -__- winter is my hibernation season (aka ballad season)

[LONJJONG]

Wow <3
nonstop-Ayu!

to me it sounds more like a typical cliche rather than something epic.

[Refix]

Great news! Is it for opening song or end song? Like what we have for Shin Onimusha 3 Dawn of Dreams. It used Startin' for op. and Rainy Day for ed. If thats true then it would be double awesome.

Maybe it is progress part II hahahaha j/k.

Well let's wait for a preview at least to see how it's like

[Benikari47]

YAY! Great news.. Progress is still as epic as when it came out. So i'm excited!

[TeamAyu2004]

progress to me was almost everything that made old ayumi great.
I. just. loved. it!

[YUKARI]

I don't understand why some of you guys are so negative and keep complaining like "so what? new progress? progress was not that great"! why aren't you open to something new? who said it's gonna be something like progress? why do you really want? do you want ayu to stop making music and quit or what? why so negative when we finally have some big news?

When it comes to RPG's aren't they all cliche, lol.
But I do think that is not that epic (because it has been done before) but at the same time it is epic, because of the theme itself.

As for that matter, I never played the first one... i wonder how it ties in with it?
Its not even the same main character is it?

just calm down~~

[YUKARI]

^ lol yeah

but this just really makes me sad -.-

[Didz-19]

What's important now is that she has a new song...i hope for a physical single...not digital..but, it was a really good news that Ayu will do another theme song for a game~let's hope this single or whatever will it be when it release, going to attract new fans and also....get ready your wallet guys~~ LOL

[jewelbox]

I just wish it wouldn't be a ballad. I want something fresh and epic with decent vocals ^^

Let me fix it.

"Are you determined to destroy the world for the sake of one eight-years-old girl?"

Also if you want to know more the catch copy phrase/theme of the game, I'll just put it here.

Spoiler:

"Are you determined to destroy the world for the sake of one girl?"

"Papa said that real promises are the ones I see with my own eyes."

"We've seen the form of the vessel. Next let's see if its depth can't be measured"

"You remove them in secret, as if they were never there - that's your specialty, huh?"

"I wonder, are humans strong because they have something to protect?"

"I'll show you that there are things in this world that can't be destroyed"

"But even so... appearances aren't all what's important, right?"

"I want you to face forward. Any person has the power to do so."

"Memories, they're something we can just create again."

"So, what is it that you wish for?"

Maybe it's not Ayu-related after all.
All of these were found in the countdown of New Tales series website before.
