There's quite a bit on the site to point to what franchise it's related to. For one, the last part of the URL is clearly a shortened version of "Subarashiki Kono Sekai" (It's a Wonderful World), the Japanese title for The World Ends With You. The font used in the countdown should be familiar to TWEWY fans, and as pointed out in the GAF thread, so should the Character Designers ("CHARACTER DESIGN:TETSUYA NOMURA & GEN KOBAYASHI"). And there's still the smoking gun, so to speak, a new version of "Calling" hidden on the site, presumably to be used as BGM when the countdown progresses. (Updated the Youtube embed with Siliconera's posting of the 0 day song)

So, we know that this is related to TWEWY in some way, but we still won't know exactly what it's leading up to until the countdown finishes in 6 days, unless the Famitsu leaks cover it first.A new TWEWY for 3DS? An iOS/phone/social title? A soundtrack release? I guess we'll see by this time next week.
EDIT: For fun, you can change your system's date to August 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and along with affecting the countdown, it adds another layer to the music each day.
Update from GAF: Looks like Square accidentally revealed the news early by listing the Arrange Album on their website. An Arrange album description that mentions an iOS version of the game.

Also, it says iOS release in 2012... so I guess we know what the countdown is. NEW TRACKS FROM THE IOS VERSION. And KH3D arrange tracks. [/quote]
A small air of mystery remains though, from Brian Gray, a translator who worked on TWEWY.

Before everyone decides the #twewy countdown is over, they might want to wait for the countdown to be over. #moredripthanleak
