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.
