Tales of Xillia theme song titled 'progress'

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Hopefully someone can translate those lyrics soon.

Oh nevermind, I see Misa has already done it haha

[futureLOVE]

when will we get this again?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^We don't know. There is no announcement yet

[(miss)understood]

Tetsuya Komuro is one of my favorite composers. He is a musical genius, especially with a lot of his globe songs

EDIT: AND BESIDE Tetsuya Komuro!!! For goooodddd's sake. I can't stand his music.

What?? Seriously....You haven't heard of her new single YET, but you already comparing her with other artist? Just wait & see~~~

Tetsuya Komuro is a great composer..but his work on Ayu "Love Songs" album was almost the same....but I'm waiting for his new work on Ayu's "Making Fate"...

[do it again]

Very excited! Love the title & lyrics~

THIS.

[Neko★munication]

I honestly wouldn't mind if it's another ballad, as long as it's epic and has a fantasy-ish feel to it, along the lines of forgiveness, rainy day, November, etc.

Or a really awesome melodic rock song with tons of strings.

... So basically something like what you'd hear from Nana Mizuki

[dreamland2.0]

^Amen to that sista!

The lyrics sound so nice!

I really love KOKIA, she's truly amazing but that's odd comparing Ayu to her.
KOKIA make songs for anime and videogames since always, Ayu's more mainstream and she made few songs for anime/videogames. But at least her music could fit very well in anime and videogames most of the times, so what's the deal? . And lol the song is not out yet, so how we can compare Making fate to KOKIA's fate?

[Zeke.]

I would love it if it were a REALLY GOOD BALLAD. No more of the crappy boring ones. I hate Virgin Road. I would love something like JEWEL, rainy day, or even Together When... It goes without saying, something along the lines of Moments would make me cry buckets of tears but I will not put that pressure on the song or let my expectations get that high.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

^Yeah don't set yourself up for that. Ayu couldn't make another Moments if she tried.

Not that she doesn't make amazing music anymore. Kinda excited for this though! I really wouldn't mind a balladish or slow song anyhow. I just pray that if it is it's not Asian-tinged like BALLAD. Oh God...

[Zeke.]

^ Lol, BALLAD grew on me but I am very tired of the asian sounding stuff.

but then I'd just want to hear Nana singing it, not Ayu!! While I'd die if this sounded like Justice to Believe or BRAVE PHOENIX, it's totally not a style Ayu could pull off

I'd like to see her try of course, but... her composers for this would just sound like a poor imitation of Elements Garden.

I think this will be typical Ayu and sound like Love Songs~ I've been browsing Tales of... openings on YT (I only knew Symphonia's) a real mix of anime stuff by artists who perform lots for anime, and straight up Jpop.


I'd much rather see Ayu in Final Fantasy where her style would totally work/actually be good promo/WHAT IF NOBUO UEMATSU WROTE HER A ****ING SONG...

bad fan rant over XDDD Regardless of my negativity, I am excited for this song, just not in the context it's being released it.

[yamadashun]

i hope it is something like Love song too, rock ballad!

[kagami]

Am I the only one that doesn't have expectations or certain wants when she releases new stuff? I'm just excited to be getting a new song.

Considering TK and Yuta Nakano's work with Ayu, I'm sure it'll be awesome.

no, I could care less if we get a ballad (though I really don't want a rock-pop or rock-ballad song) or a pop song or a cute song. I am so excited for this especially after the greatness of Love songs (which I still listen to so much)

Lol me too. I haven't the faintest clue what I want Making Fate to sound like. I just want to hear it.

Uematsu has been failing a lot imo recently, he hasn't composed anything I find memorable since FFX (not to mention that Kiss Me Goodbye is among the worst songs Angela has in her discography). Have you tried BUMP OF CHICKEN's Karma, BONNIE PINK's - Ring A Bell and BoA's Mamoritai~White Wishes~? Those are all Tales theme songs and imo they don't sound like the regular "anime" music.
