[Info] 04.06.2011 Dave Reitzas Mixed Ayu's New Song "progress"

The music arranger, Dave Reitzas of some of Ayu's songs from the latest "Love songs" album came to post a comment about mixing "progress" song.

He stopped by AHS (Ayumi Hamasaki Sekai International Forum) today and posted this under the username "MrEnginear":

Okay, don't want to make anyone jealous....just excited.
I'm sitting in the studio right now listening to the mix I did of "Progress".
It's awesome!!
Believe me when I say that "you ain't heard nothin' yet".
The preview only presents a small taste of a very dynamic powerful song and Ayumi delivers yet another amazing passionate vocal performance from the first note to the last! Plus, Mr. Yuta does his genius arrangement again.
Gives me chills every time I hear it!
Dare I say again that it's epic?
Well anyway, hope you don't have to wait too long.

Best,
Dave Reitzas

[Lyric] 29.05.2011 Tentative Lyric of "progress" TALES OF XILLIA Theme Song

Here's the translation of the tentative lyric of "progress" heard by a fan who attended the TALES OF XILLIA Event.

Kanji

あの時に　あの場所に居て
戦って　いた自分が
全てが　今を選ぶ
ためだったとしたらなら(ば?)
向きあえず　置き去りなまま
目をそらしていた過去を
許したと思うのは
許されたからなのか　なら
僕ら　彼方　自由で
見かねた　あの頃はどうして
無邪気な笑顔だけじゃ
思う方へ　過ごせないけど
僕らは　進んでいく
それでも進み　続けてく
何かを信じられる心が　見守ってくれるから（皆見守っているから）
wow wow wow
wow wow yeah~!!

Translation:

If in that time, at that place
I was fighting
And my reason for doing so
Was because I chose to be here now
Without direction, left behind
I used to look up at the sky
If I thought I had forgiven that past
Is it because I had been forgiven?
We were free to look
Upon them. Why were they
Full of innocent smiles then?
Those who think this way cannot go on
But let us move on
Even so, let us continue to move on
Because a heart that believes, will be watched over us/everyone
wow wow wow
wow wow yeah~!!

[Info] 28.05.2011 TALES OF XILLIA's Theme Song "progress" by Ayumi Hamasaki

So the theme song title of "TALES OF XILLIA" isn't "making fate" it's "progress" instead.

a blog writer said that it's a cool song. so it's not a ballad then.



part of the song's lyric:

浜崎あゆみ「progress」
歌詞は暫定版　　耳コピ

あの時に　あの場所に居て　
戦って　いた自分が
全てが　今を選ぶ　　　　　
ためだったとしたらなら(ば?)　　　
向きあえず　置き去りなまま　
目をそらしていた過去を
許したと思うのは
許されたからなのか　なら
僕ら　彼方　自由で　　　　　
見かねた　あの頃はどうして
無邪気な笑顔だけじゃ 　　
思う方へ　過ごせないけど
僕らは　進んでいく　　　　　
それでも進み　続けてく
何かを信じられる心が　見守ってくれるから（皆見守っているから）
wow wow wow
wow wow yeah~!!
