On the X-change Box preview page http://www.sis.iowave.co.jp/crowd/soft/xcbox/xc_box.html there is now a color image of Kate Damiano (the new character), and also there is an .mp3 clip of the new opening song for XCR sung by Ueto-san (the actress for Takuya-chan)–she sang this song at the XC3 release event a month ago as well, but we in the audience didn’t recognize it as an XC-related song yet since it had not been announced as such.
The song is “O-netsu na Hoshi” (“Heated World”), and as near as I can translate, the lyrics go:
Wearing a shirt that’s a bit too big, going out on the town
Why does the jeering and leering crowd gather around me?
Why is it always like this? The world is heated up
Unbelievable happenings, carrying me away
Feeling things so easily, this body is so sensetive
It’s because I am a girl, because I have become one
And it would be such a waste not to relax and have fun
(But…March 3rd is the Hina Festival…May Fifth is Children’s Day…But when will MY day come…?)

Personally, I think this song describes Takuya’s plight rather well.
