The release of " Tales of ARISE ", the latest title in Namco Bandai's "Tales of" series, is just three weeks away on September 9, 2021 (Thursday).
The opening animation will be by ufotabele, the opening song will be " HIBANA " by Sensory Clowns, and a recipe for a complete reproduction of Marbou Curry by Ryuji, a cooking expert.
The "Tales of" series is known for its tie-ups with popular musicians, as in the case of the opening song by Sensory Clowns.
When the opening movie was released, it was announced that "Tales of ARISE" would have a tie-up with another artist.
There were many speculations as to which artist the tie-up would be with, but now the tie-up artist has been officially announced!
The other tie-up artist is Ayaka!
The other tie-up artist for "Tales of ARISE" will be " Ayaka "!
Ayaka made her debut in 2006 with " I believe ". She is a female singer-songwriter whose song " Crescent Moon " was released in the same year and became the first song to reach No. 1 on the Oricon. Crescent Moon" was also used as a commercial song.
Her one-of-a-kind voice, which combines power and fragility, is one of Japan's leading female artists and needs no further explanation.
My personal favorite song by Ayaka is " Koinjite mita yume" ("The dream I longed for in love"). It's a great song, so please listen to it!
Tales of ARISE" has a new song " Blue Moon " as the " Grand Theme" based on the theme and concept of the movie, and My Little Lover 's classic song "Hello" released in 1995 was also used as the song during the movie. The song will be a cover of the classic song "Hello, Again ~Once Upon a Time~" by Ayaka, which was released in 1995.
"Blue Moon" will be available on August 26, 2021 (Thu) through various music distribution services prior to the release of "Tales of ARISE".
In addition, a new TV commercial featuring the song "Hello, Again - A Place from Long Ago" will be released on the " Tales of YouTube Channel " on August 17, 2021 (Tuesday).
The commercial features Ayaka's singing voice and beautiful images. It will be interesting to see where "Hello, Again - A Place from Long Ago" will be played in the main game!
