It was just announced that ALTIMA will be releasing their 3rd single on July 25 titled Burst the Gravity. This song will be the new ending opening song for the anime Accel World.
It was also announced on avex’s official a-nation website that ALTIMA will be performing at ANISON GENERATION stage at Yoyogi Daichi on August 5. ANISON GENERATION is part of a-nation’s music week this year. I’ve been keeping an eye on the a-nation site for a few days now, hoping that either fripSide and/or ALTIMA would be announced as a performer!!

Still holding out that we’ll see some activity from fripSide this summer…
Look like someone ask Sat about fripside and altima at twitter. I’m not sure for my translation but I think fripside is still active.
I know fripSide hasn’t disbanded. I’m just impatient that we haven’t had any new releases.
I think I see the tweet you are talking about. He’s basically saying there’s no news for fripSide yet.
What are you all saying? sat keeps saying that he’s working on new fripSide stuff and he just said “wait a bit more for new fripSide information” or something like that
I’m saying that I’m impatient and would like a new fripSide release soon. It seems my feelings are being misinterpreted as me thinking fripSide is done, which is absolutely not the case.
I’m used to their slow release schedule, but it doesn’t mean I don’t wish they would release more often.
I see. Well sat is preparing a lot of stuff (he’s constantly posting things like “作曲作曲!”) so I’m not worried. Besides I believe the true core of fripSide is sat himself, so any release of ALTIMA or コラボ stuff with sat doing the 作曲 means => fripSide stuff to me ^^
I see him tweet that a lot too, and he’s always teasing like “the mastering on this song is awesome!” or “I just made a great a song!!!” I’ll wait as long as I need, but yeah, I was hoping for some more Nanjolno + Sat for the summer~ ;_;
and thanks for the correction, haha. I took a quick glance at the official site and automatically my mind went ANOTHER ENDING THEME. Probably because the last two singles were both ED songs ^^;;
“the mastering on this song is awesome!”
When I read this I always go “heeey let us listen to it please, that’s mean” ^^’
I think we’ll have many surprises this summer. I wonder what the new single will be for… I don’t know why, but I keep thinking about Sword Art Online (also part of Accel World’s universe and Ascii Media Works’ promotion for their 20th anniversary). The timing would be perfect.
Also there’s a little mistake in the article: it’s the new OP, not ED
