I wouldn't be surprised if it were TK, his songs sound like theme songs something extreme anyway...

I'm thinking late March to early May.

jbrat2219 · #**145** 7th January 2011, 04:39 PM

I pray for March, my birth month!!!

brener · #**146** 7th January 2011, 06:07 PM

Bigtop · #**148** 8th January 2011, 12:00 AM

Not guessing exact month, but it might be sometime this spring...

adantatu2 · #**149** 8th January 2011, 03:16 AM

i hope a double a-side single.
the first song composed by kazuhito and the other one by TK.

Kazeyomi · #**150** 8th January 2011, 03:27 AM

What if this theme song would be a ballad?

3.. 2...1

AyuGAME · #**151** 8th January 2011, 03:44 AM

March/April is realistic enough for her to release spring single...we will see...
and please no TK...

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #**152** 8th January 2011, 04:16 AM

I'm over double a-side singles.
I want her to be able to release a single a-side.

I hope too much for the old style ten-track singles haha

Why would anyone want A BEST III

It wouldn't sell more than 300-350k anyways.

lmfao, she got chosen cos her lyrics reach out to young people? Either the game creators are stuck in 2000, or the PR here is just seriously wrong...

But anyway, positive message yada yada.. boring and all heard of. I kinda hope for a style that's similar to alan's "Over the clouds"

She's not popular as during 2000, but lol most of her fans are young.
You can be young even in your twenty fyi :/ and videogames are not played by teenagers only, in Japan.

what i mean was, the way they gave their reasons it's like she's the AKB48 or something... I mean it's like I go like, "oh c'mon stop sugarcoating already!" but I guess it can't be helped since this is the media..

According to one of the articles in first post, ayu said that the song is already completed.

Quote:

From the message video shown at the venue, it was revealed that the artist singing the game’s theme song will be Hamasaki Ayumi. The reason why Hamasaki-san was picked was because “Hamasaki-san’s songs always have a strong theme, and will be able to reach young people”, explained the producer from Baba. After looking through the extensive database of details from the game, we had a conference call with Hamasaki-san at about 5~6am, where she revealed that the theme song had been completed.

Having understood the game’s details, Hamasaki-san said that “I made a song that can send my message”. A song that combines the intentions of the 『Tales of』 staff and Hamasaki-san herself, we hope to hear it soon.

By the way, a mistranslation here that led to all the debate on the previous page. The article said that the strong themes in ayu's songs appeal to young people, not the lyrics. Hope that clears things up abit.
