Yeah! Her voice sounds much better than in most songs in PQ, I'm surprised As if she recorded it during the GUILTY era imo.

[A-TeensFan]

it's no where near Progress but it's good

[yamadashun]

is it only me or what... as the song reminds me a bit of 1000 Words from FFX-2...

[AyuHamasaki01]

The song sound so good~

It appears that the song was a collaboration with Yuta and one of Do As Infinity's composers.

Cool, Do as Infinity composer. Hopefully the Party Queen era comes to an end with this. It is definitely the correct direction, at least for me.

[yoshino]

Great song!! This needs to be the single!

No...1000 Words was a very heavy ballad this is nothing like that.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

It does sound pretty cool. I am looking forward to full version.

[AyuWorld]

thank you for the HD trailer! fantastically awesome! love the song now and it really fits with the trailer and the game! Ayu should sing more anime/tale song ^^


i love that "e yeah e yeah e yeah e yeah e yeah" part haha so catchy!

[mizuki-7]

This song is typically what Nana Mizuki does so how I can't love it ?

i love that "e yeah e yeah e yeah e yeah e yeah" part haha so catchy!

Yes it's my favorite part at the moment ^^

[BlackSilence]

progress was way more powerful and arangement-wise i liked it way more, but her vocals sound really good here. Not a bad song but nothing really great.

[Minttulatte]

I really love this preview. I really need to get a 320kb/s version of it asap. *_*

[SpiceSquad!]

im loooovviiinnnnngg itt

[isthisLOL?]

Definitely sounds better from the HQ-trailer. But also kinda bland and generic. Like...it would make a good Nana Mizuki album track, but not more. Hoping for some interesting twist in the full version. We didn't realize progress had an acoustic opening and heavy guitar solo at first either.

[LeeLeeNeko]

Why are there so many threads just for one song... Anyway has anyone got the lyrics / translation of what we hear in the trailer ?
I'm dying to know what the song is about !

[truehappiness]

Well, there was the official announcement a day or two ago... then the actual 'reveal' that happened today. And the announcement that she was doing the ToX 2 theme.

And then there's also the fact that it'll be released in a different version on another CD that isn't Ayu-centric. It stinks when there's a lot of news, but I don't think we can really stick it in one place yet since it's just ONE SONG atm and not an officially announced physical release yet.

Also...

Chinese lyrics were posted if anyone can use those.

[tiffanytgs]

I like this song and as usual her lyrics

[Neko★munication]

I'm also hearing (and digging) the Nana Mizuki-ness of the song.

To be honest, I absolutely love it. Progress is one of her best songs imo and if I had to choose the song I thought most likely to become a "classic" from this era, it'd be progress, if that makes sense.

I get a similar feeling from Song 4 U. What I like is that the songs really fit the games - I dunno how many of you have played the Tales of series and can appreciate it, but the songs sound very, very Tales-esque, very moving and driven and with a bit of a fantastical/ethereal hint.

This song, just like progress last year, gave me goosebumps! That's a really good sign in my books.

今だってそんなに自信はないよ

踏み出せない時もあるよ
もし間違っていたり
くり返しちゃったりしたら
どうしようって

選ばないだけなら
不安はないね
だけど変わることもないよね

いつからだどうなった
もう駄目だと全て
おしまいだってなってた
Uh~あの時

なんだったああ誰だった
そうなんでも
なんとかもう一度って思って
進めたのは

to u Yeah～ Yea　Yea　Ye　Yeaｈ～（×２）

信じてる
信じられてる

Oh～u Yeah～Yea　Yea　Ye　Yeaｈ～（×２）

空だってそう飛べる気がする

ただ1人君の為なら・・・
