Yesterday (26/9), LiSA made a guest appearance at the AFA11 Press Conference in Singapore at *SCAPE. (She arrived in Singapore at midnight the previous day, and has already returned to Japan last night)

The event was covered by local news channel Channel NewsAsia, popular local forum SGCafe, as well as Ani-Culture.

LiSA @JAM Comment



English translation:
To everyone who's looking forward to @JAM, good afternoon, this is LiSA~!

This will be my first time performing at this event, but -(couldn't really catch this bit)- I'm really looking forward to having a great time with everyone.

And also, in order to let everyone experience the best day ever, I've been working on various strategies >:D

I want to have the best time in the world with all of you, to create it, so look forward to it ok?

And so, I'll be waiting at Shin-kiba COAST~

Bye-chi

That was LiSA :)

So, anyone here gonna catch LiSA at @JAM?

P.S.
Did anyone notice that @JAM spelt LiSA with small 's' and 'a'? xD In Japan, typography is extremely important in defining a person's name. So please do not follow their example! 'LiSA' should always be written as such :P

「oath sign」written and composed by CONNECT composer

As mentioned in a post earlier today, LiSA's first single will be a tie-up with Fate/Zero anime, with a song titled 「oath sign」.

LiSA Official Website has since made the announcement for the single.

The song was written and composed by Sho Watanabe, who also wrote and composed CONNECT, the OP for Puella Magi Madoka Magica sung by ClariS.

The tracklist has been confirmed to include :
-「oath sign」
-「oath sign」(instrumental)
and 2 other songs that are currently being recorded.

The Limited Edition First Pressing (LiSA ver.) will also include:
-「oath sign」music video
- a 12P Photo Booklet.

-----

If you've never heard of CONNECT by ClariS:



Sho Watanabe is a rather established songwriter, having worked with artists like V6, TOKYO GIRL'S STYLE, Lil'B, and AKB48.

The song is very much anticipated among fans of both LiSA and the Fate series alike, as it would be defining for both parties.

For the Fate series, its popularity had peaked more than 5 years ago when Fate/Stay Night anime was airing, and the success of the 1-hour pilot episode of Fate/Zero is crucial for a come-back.

For LiSA, 「Letters to U」met with very limited success, ranking at #14 on the Oricon charts in its first week with only 7,686 copies sold. This can be largely attributed to a lack of promotional efforts. Her tie-up with Fate/Zero, however, could make or break her career as the new single will be very heavily promoted together with the anime, especially if Fate/Zero exceeds the expectations of its fans.

Here at LiSA-Lab, we hope that both  「oath sign」 and Fate/Zero anime will be a great success in the next season.

LiSA first single 「oath sign」info leaked; 11/23 release!

Information has been leaked about LiSA’s next single: 「oath sign」on various anime networks.

A tie-up with the much anticipated Fate/Zero anime premiering on October 1st with a one-hour special,「oath sign」will be its opening theme, and is a great opportunity for LiSA to broaden her fan-base considering the cult popularity of the Fate series.

As Fate/Zero is a fast paced shounen anime, we can expect a powerful rock number from LiSA.

 Fate Zero

The CD single will be available in stores on November 23rd in the following versions:
[Regular Edition] oath sign (CD)
1260円

[Limited Edition] oath sign (CD+DVD/Fate/Zero cover)
1680円

[Limited Edition First Press] oath sign (CD+DVD/LiSA cover)
1680円

However, due to the anime tie-up, preview or TV-size versions of the song should be available within the coming weeks.

Fans might also be excited by the announcement of the Limited Edition DVD bundle, which will very likely include previously unavailable full PVs for the songs in 「Letters to U」and possibly a new PV for 「oath sign」, or even footage from LiSA’s Shanghai LiVE earlier this year.

Unfortunately, neither news of the tracklist nor pre-orders are available as of now, so we can only make guesses. We will continue to provide the latest reliable information here once available.

English Translation

Believe in myself
Someday, I wish whoever listens to this song
Would live in the moment

Dawn still hasn’t broken
Time alone always feels too long
I’m chasing the day yet
I don’t want my nervousness to show

Like a TAPE that never ends
Revolving continuously, round and round
Before that…

I want to go.

Someday, chasing endlessly at night
I will catch it! It’s my chance
Someday, I wish I could laugh at those days
And live in the moment

Dawn still hasn’t broken
I paint all kinds of lousy images in my dreams, yet
Nothing seems to come out right
I won’t let anyone know about my impatient heart

Until I hit the “Stop” BUTTON
It continues revolving, round and round
Until then…

I won’t stop.

Someday, even the morning I’d never imagined
I will catch it! It’s my dream
Someday, the cowardly me I have always hid
I wish I could embrace it

The empty BOTTLE and my worn out soles
The WALKMAN that I grasped onto tightly
The piercing, heart rending melodies flowing
I can’t forget them

Believe in myself

Someday, that day when I sobbed
I will catch it! It’s my chance
Someday, I wish whoever listens to this song
Would live in the moment

Someday, chasing endlessly at night
I will catch it! It’s my chance
Someday, I wish I could laugh at those days
And live in the moment

Keep on going to get my chance
Someday my dream will come true

I will never give it up

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!—
