Frill is coming out with a new game soon, and who better to perform its theme song than fripSide! The song title? spiral of despair -resurrection-. Hmm, I could swear I knew of a song with a similar title. Well, what’s the game’s name? Chikan Senyou Sharyou 2 (痴漢専用車輌2). No wonder the song’s title is so familiar! The game is a sequel to Frill’s 2007 debut Chikan Senyou Sharyou!

Since nao left fripSide last month, that has left fripSide without a vocalist. However, this new song will be a collaboration with Rita! Rita might be a familiar name to fripSide fans, as she was a guest at fripSide’s Tokyo split tears concert and has been mentioned a few times on Satoshi’s blog. Sat mentioned his blog update that this has been a dream collab of his and it’s finally come true! It needs to be said that this is a collaboration; Rita is not the new vocalist of fripSide.

If you haven’t stumbled upon the song on Frill’s site, you can listen to it in the demo movie. Just be warned there is a lot of erotic content in the video. The only thing “spiral of despair -resurrection-” shares with its predeccesor is the title. “resurrection” still holds that signature fripSide sound, but has a great, fresh arrangement. While Rita mentioned that the song was difficult to sing because it was out of her range, her voice still sounds beautiful in this song.
