| | 11.10.05 - | -"Startin'" & "Rainy Day"- Reported by two major console gaming websites -IGN & GameSpot-, Ayu's "Startin'" & "Rainy Day" will be featured as the opening and ending theme of CAPCOM's new game "Shin-Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams" respectively. These two new songs are also expected to be included in Ayu's upcoming album.  Article: GameSpot, ITMEdia, Impress | "At the ceremony, Capcom revealed that, although Dawn of Dreams doesn't feature the likeness of a Japanese celebrity as its main character, it will have some big star power attached to it. Ayumi Hamasaki, one of Japan's biggest singers, will be providing two songs for the game, "Startin'," the opening theme, and "Rainy Day," the end theme. Both are being written for the game by Hamasaki herself. In a message delivered via video, Hamasaki stated that Startin' has been created to give players a sense of "Let's Go!" with Rainy Day, a ballad, providing the perfect closing atmosphere for the game's ending. The addition of Hamasaki should give Onimusha some big press in Japan, the kind of mainstream press the previous titles got due to their main characters. As for America, while Capcom isn't talking about theme songs at this point, we are expecting a release to follow in early 2006." | | ~Excerpts from IGN | -"Bold & Delicious/Pride" CD Cover- We now have the actual cover of this single as shown below:  CD+DVD version |  CD only version |
