Recently a japanese show aired the first 3 minutes of the new Madoka Magica movie “Rebellion”, where near the end there was a new song. Yuki Kajiura confirmed via an interview, that its ASUKA from FictionJunction singining it! This is sort of a historical moment since its the first song of ASUKA composed by Yuki since 2006, when “everlasting song” single was released 😀

Asuka had previously appeared in Yuki Kajiura live vol#9 (the one that came out on BD/DVD), as well as vol#10, singing everlasting song on both and also See-Saw’s “Uta” in vol#10.
