Aside form the joke, did Hikki tweet about something happening?

so...no news yet? lol it is 3am in Japan, I suppose if we truly get anything it might not be for another 2-3 hours

yeah, and supposedly the song or whatever is supposed to pop up mu-mo or somewhere on the 23rd at midnight or early AM for download? Excuse me if I skipped some vital information about some other event.

I'm sure the trailer will have a preview of her song, why would they start release ringtones of it and stuff if it didn't ?
Anyway I can't wait to watch the event ! I didn't like "You & Me" at all so I hope this one will be better. :D

I didn't bold it just for your benefit, but there were people asking it on the previous page. Sorry you took it personally~ but like I said the debut is supposed to be at the TGS event.

No it's okay, I didn't realize you were speaking to everyone! I just saw some information about it being on mu-mo today, but there was no time listed so I was inquiring about that. Like I said, even if nothing's said now, we have to wait a few more hours anyway!

:)


It's being streamed live here -
http://tgs2012.channel.or.jp/live_tv/

still nothing?

Not for another 2-3 hrs I guess.

the japanese just got up i guess xD maybe after the breakfast lol

oh man'

until now, we don't even know the title... -.-"

In 3.5hrs we'll definitely have something... that's when the trailer with the song premieres. If we have something before then, we will. If not...we'll have something in 3.5hrs.

i thought 2hrs are left for the premieres?

AHS is temporarily unavailable. Please check back later.

...is what I got when I tried to visit. I thought the song came out and everybody went ape**** over it. I guess not...

The song is going to be revealed in less than an hour.

http://tgs2012.channel.or.jp/live_tv/
Watch here for the live stream!

It's the YAPPARI! Tales of Special Stage.
SO EXCITED!!!!!

I knew they were going to time something like this digital release with a reveal at TGS... I hope it's EPIC. (though it's going to probably be epic anyway soooo)

OMG the SUSPENSE!!

First time I'm on the computer when something is going to stream.
Feel so proud of myself.

I have no patience right now so I'm not sure how long I can wait for the reveal.

I can't take the suspense.
I really can't.

i cba to watch the stream but i will damn sure lose my mind with excitement when the news drops

Is it Channel A or B?

Well, we only have to wait like 30 minutes now!

It is channel A. Channel B is some weird sub-studio where they're doing other broadcasts.

http://tgs2012.channel.or.jp/live_tv/index.php

Keep in mind that the schedule is visible if you scroll down further and click 9/23. The event you are looking for is "YAPPARI!" with "Tales of" next to it.

Getting a news post ready, I can't wait... agaufhasfiasiahsd

we have to choose the channel?
I click the link and is on a program sub studio

Broadcast is going to start soon.

There's going to be an opening and then a producer VTR message before the Tales of stuff.

I can't wait to hear the preview, know the title etc omg :clapclap

who are those sexy ladies!?

^ Booth babes?

They had a poll for people to vote on these "Banakkos" or something on the main TGS site. Dunno really. Just want to know what the song is called, HAHAHA.

I LOVE THEIR OUTFITS, are they cosplaying the characters?


Oh a light skinned girl so awesome

I'm soooo curious!!! I want to know! ^o^

Countdown started for the Tales of stuff.

1 minute!

10 sec!

Yappari.

Seriously, how do we not know the title?! smh

Because it hasn't been announced yet. Later! We have like a few minutes... haha.

Anything happened on the show yet? Can't stream it.

THEY'RE GONNA SHOW THE SONG NOW

INTRO IS STARTING!

IT SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!

ahhhh I'm hearing the song right now, it's greattttt

PLEASE tell me someone is recording it!!!

IS CALLED SONG 4 U

"Song 4 u" LOL

Song 4 u huh

This is not an exaggeration... this song could be as epic as SURREAL

The Song sounds so EPIC!!!! I can hear it something like progress 2!!! and its title is Song 4 U

the name is reall Song 4 U


but soooo wonderful... fall in love ♥

I was recording it but I squealed when I heard it so I ruined the recording.
BUT IT SOUNDS SO AMAZING!!!

It really sounds like she made the song specifically for the game...
Edit: but better than You & I. I really need to hear the song in full without any obstructions...

OMG THIS SOUNDS SO AMAZINGGGGGGGGG
***** all over Party Queen already!

Please somebody take Timmy away from Ayu now. I don't want this epicness to end. XD

Song sounds amazing!

Not a fan of the title but the song sounds promising. My first thought was that this song is a decent successor to progress. Can't wait to hear in full.

It would be funny if Timmy worked on the song xD He DID post about being in the studio and working on new tracks a couple weeks back...

Song 4 u? What is she like thirteen? I know that she wasn't all that creative in naming her songs before, but where the heck was Timmy for once? lol
I was ready to write the song off as a generic anime song till the last third of the song, which sounds promising.

damn it !! stupid internet!!
I only hear some parts because the internet is slow !!!

But it sounds promising !

The title is lol. The song didn't get to me until towards the end. Sounded pretty nice so far so looking forward to the song.

The song has such an interesting structure! Great melody.

I will trust you guys when you say that it's amazing. progress was incredible and I can't imagine anything better! I'm going to be blown away tomorrow~

Shouldnt the song be already on sell at dwango and mu-mo?

soooo right ^^

On the 24th...?

It's the morning of the 23rd in Japan right now.

No, iTunes on the 24th, but at ayu's website, you can read 23rd on dwango and mumo

http://puu.sh/17HPR

They mention a 'honjitsu/today' thing for getting the song but I don't know if anyone here will be able to get it.

Oh, you can get it after noon time in Japan. It's about 11amish so maybe in an hour or two!!!

u think she's maybe there and performit in the end of this show? *-*
i want to hear it complete...
it's sooo much better then the last things.... (thinking of PQ and Happening Here...)

SO much better sounding!!
ITS JUST SO GOOD
SHE SOUNDS GREAT

Her voice is so clear and strong in the song too!

OK SO SOMEONE POST IT PLEASE lol

anyone able to translate?
google's translation is just mess -.-''



& thats exactly what i thought ^^

uploaded the rip here :)
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114841

I hope it ets posted soon!

thaaaaaank youuuuuu ♥

sadly im not that impressed with this preview...
maybe the whole song?

It sounds like there's doublevocaling going on throughout the whole thing to hide some weak vocals. I hate when they do that, they destroyed crossroad that way...
This is easier than any song on Party Queen to sing unless there's some much harder part coming up later in the song we haven't heard yet and still there's some seemingly heavy doublevocaling :/
I still have hope for the full thing, but the preview is severely disappointing. Her vocals seem so bad compared to FIVE and Party Queen, I hope it's just the quality.

Thank you for the rip!

It sounds very promising.
It has the sound of 90s/early 00s anime music.
She sounds like she did years ago.

I like it. :D
(after years of pessimism, FINALLY)

Y'all have some weird taste.

It sounds like she's just doing her own harmony like before or something... the quality may have something to do with it because it was super crispy and clear in the broadcast.

You know, Ayu's voice kinda sounds nostalgic.
That works. Very well. And there's violin. Very good. Dear god, if the full song has piano and harp, I just might die.

But why does the "yeah yeah yeah" part sound so nostalgic? I'm melting. It's like..... omg. I need the full song asap.

She's needs more songs like this >.<
the music is so amazing!

I cant tell whatever technique they used for her voice but it sounds good to me and that's all that matters. She might probably shout the YEA YEA YEA parts live though..

It makes me wonder if she has produced other material?
If so, I hope that it is similar to this. :D

I hope that Ayu includes this song with her next album.

It's definitely not just her own harmony, it's not the correct notes for that. I'm hoping it's a production flaw since Ayumi sometimes has subpar producers that **** up her mixes. Not gonna judge the entire song from a low quality preview of course ;) It was just...quite shocking to hear a) a song that quite disappointed me(again, based on 90 secs, who knows what will come afterwards?) and b) doublevocaling reminiscent of her old studio recordings.

Yeah, the 'ye-ee-yeah' is probably gonna get shouted but that's kind of how it's supposed to be sung from what I hear... the same with the 'woah woah yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah' in progress.

People should be use to her shouting by now xD I mean she is half deaf.

For who doesn't want download it: http://soundcloud.com/julia-russ/song-4-u

I would love to see the opening right about now!

It's not as rockish as I expected it to be. It sounds like an older Ayu song, something that would appear on "LOVEppears" or "Duty". I do like it, it's not what I expected (I expected a more "progress"-y song). I am excited for the full version :)

I was really hopping for something like progress... but oh well...
Cant wait to hear the full version... or the other -original- version

Well, the only thing that they mentioned regarding progress was that it lives up to it and in the same way that progress did, fits the world view of this game. I'm really excited to hear the full version!

It seems like a calmer song chorus-wise... that is if what we're hearing is the chorus.

It sounds like a Nana Mizuki song with a bit of ayu's unique style

omg sooooo good :thud

Something fresh and different for ayu, once again :D So glad.

Stupid name though xD Oh well :laugh

HAHAAHAHAHA LOL

Thanks for posting the trailer!!!

I really feel like I understand the title "Song 4 u" more now after watching it. And Ayu's voice seems to match the emotional aspects of the game. I kinda grew to like it a bit more after watching that!

Really a good song
I think ayu should sing more animation and game songs

Ayu continues to amaze me. I agree, Amuro_Ray.

already released in Mu-mo? ^-^>

I thought she weren't able to make another epic song for ToX as progress. I was so wrong!
Song 4 u reminds me a mix of LOVEppears and RAINBOW eras, that is perfect for me (love both albums).
Her voice is also so clear and good so far. I really hope to don't be disappointed by the full version, because I love it :heart

So much that I don't care about the title lol.

WOW! the animators really out did themselves this time around!!
I'm still a little 'blah' about the song... I really want to hear it without all the talking and what not.

But I think Im gonna be happy with it over all.

The song is soooo J-pop anime-ish im sure it will be taken up really well :D
