The Tales Series Has Rockin’ Theme Songs

The newest game in the series, Tales of Zestiria, has a theme song so excellent that I’m listening to it on repeat right now. Of course, it’s far from the first game of the series to have an opening song this good. https://kotaku.com/the-up-all-night-stream-plays-tales-of-zestiria-1686229017 And I’m not the only one who thinks so. Many Tales theme songs (and/or their associated albums) have broken the Oricon top ten in Japan. In fact, the Tales of the Abyss theme, Karma, made it betdog all the way to number two. So check out the series’ opening movies below to get a taste of some awesome J-pop and J-rock.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Tales of Phantasia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgUhrhnqkGk “Yume wa Owaranai ~Kobore Ochiru Toki no Shizuku~” by Yumi Yoshida Tales of Destiny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ7aF862Bg0 “Yume De Aru Youni” by DEEN Tales of Eternia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0iBnGYLTI4 “Flying” by GARNET CROW Tales of Destiny 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJOPmrjh9Ps “Key to My Heart” by Mai Kuraki Tales of Symphonia (GameCube) “Starry Heavens” by Day After Tomorrow Tales of Rebirth “Good Night” by Every Little Thing Tales of Legendia “Tao” by Do As Infinity Tales of the Abyss “Karma” by Bump of Chicken Tales of the Tempest “VS” by Misono Tales of Innocence (DS) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeZ37s5XkQ0 “Follow the Nightingale” by KOKIA Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfHXFO2-RbI “Nininsankyaku” by Misono Tales of Vesperia “Kane wo Narashite” by y1 games Bonnie Pink Tales of Hearts “Eien no Ashita” by DEEN Tales of Graces “Mamoritai: White Wishes” by BoA Tales of Xillia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY2EIEjeCHE “Progress” by Ayumi Hamasaki Tales of Xillia 2 “Song 4 U” by Ayumi Hamasaki Tales of Zestiria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpFIwHOD5qI “White Light” by Superfly y1 com Kotaku East is your slice of Asian internet culture, bringing you the latest talking points from Japan, Korea, China and beyond.
