Noooo, my hope for 10 full songs was crushed. Oh well :D

wow finally!!! I thought it was another rumor thread
until a saw how many people where in here!!!
anyway I'm excited now!! (I saved my money)

YES!!! Now why?

All I know is that I feel as though some people are seriously trying to pull out all of the stops to dislike this album, and as much as they hate to admit it, she's got a probable MASTERPIECE on her hands.

Oh my god, I need to get a fan or something.

yes...紅茶 (koucha) = black tea ^^

probably to match the british theme?

Yes you do! I do need a fan too!

Honestly, you are the only one making a big deal out of anything here. I think you are a little too excited and probably should calm down a little. It's great that you are happy, but that doesn't mean you can lash out at anyone that isn't doing cartwheels over the title or amount of announced songs. What else is there to praise or criticize other than that right now? :) The album itself could certainly still be great, no one has said anything otherwise. Nobody has said anything as bad as what you seem to be making it out to be.

Indeed, before they even got the chance to hear it. Memorial Address only had 8 tracks of which only 4 were new, yet it was still a masterpiece~

Anyways I am glad we finally have a date set!

I want the box!
But it´s so expensive ><

For me the Box set is better than the USB xD Since it'll include the Tour.
So basically it's worth it xD Than the USB >.>

^@~angel*ayumi~ - But you know its worth it. hahaha
>w<!!!!~ <3

@truehappiness the only reason i said i wish the title were different is because i was hoping it wouldn't be the same as what was revealed in the AT10 title. that kinda took away from the anticipation a bit. as for the phrase "Rock'n'Roll Circus" in and of itself, i LOVE it and i'm super excited for this album (as usual). everyone here seems happy. i highly doubt anyone is out on a mission to 'rain on your parade' ^^

i agree. can you chill? LOL
we are taking what has been posted and giving opinions.
when it changes, we'll have new thoughts

until it does then DEAL WITH THE REACTIONS
if you don't like them, then let people have their well earned opinions without reacting so strongly '-___-

no for the title, no for the amount of songs, yes yes yes for the new songs regardless and the great looking pvs =]

I asked this because we always ask what is 红茶 in English?
the answer is BLACK TEA.So I wonder if red tea could be used in English too

For the most part, other than my heart racing and my excitement as an Ayu fan at 200%, I am calm. I just hope I'm proven wrong about the people who do seem to be already looking at this album in a negative light.

Not to say anything about people who don't like the title since that's understandable because it's new, (i.e Max_ZZZ, Ayu_no_Tenshi, etc... not really referring to you guys, sorry and I humbly apologize if it came across that way. I meant no ill will towards you guys at all. Seriously!) and change is hard to accept sometimes... but about the people who I'm pretty sure are going to go into the album wanting to hate it.

well...even tho they are basically the same thing, in English "red tea" is a special kind of tea from Africa. LOL but i understand what you mean because when i use Japanese, some things are different and then it's hard to explain in English.

It's ok, I know how you get around these times by now. :) But for your own health and safety I recommend that you not go visit JPM and post about this because as you know they are waaaay meaner over there.

edit: Ok, I myself just checked there and saw that my advice is too late.

And why would anyone WANT to hate the album? Trust me I would not be wasting my time here if I wanted to hate it and I certainly wouldn't be going to her concerts either. I want to like it. The PVs all look promising, well except Kazuyoshi. :) And I liked a lot of things about her singles this past year as well.

Yeah, where I come from, that tea goes by both names. But I realized that's not the case in other places, so I changed it to black tea instead lol. ^^

It's okay, I've already gone through emotional tidal waves over there.

I already posted about it and everyone's EXCITED.

I 100% hate the album title, it doesn't feel Ayumi what-so-ever.

However that isn't going to stop me from pre-ordering that awesome box set. I can always put a random sticker over the album title so it wont be there to remind me of its horribleness.

People there are quite pathetic and sad

Dude, you don't even know anyone here personally. How can you go around making assumptions that there are people who want to see the album in a negative light and want to hate it? Why dont you just worry about yourself and let other people say what they're gonna say and stop being so defensive.

Our opinions do not make us haters. Like Sunshine said, there are very few things to even talk about at this moment. No one has even said anything bad.


Can we like...move away from complaining about people's opinions now everyone? Thanks.

Another thing...Why is everyone talking about tea lol

I figure the box set is worth it because DVD = $70 + CD+DVD album = $40 = $130
Same amount and you get a mug and probably a nice package too!
I'm thinking it won't sell out fast though because it's expensive...

I want that pre-order NOW!

Oh my god!
Finally~ ;_____;
Have to buy all the versions. XD
And I like the title, I'm sure ayu will make something totally special out of it~ : D

Waiting for ayu's albums is like waiting for Apple's products... (quite out of topic)

I like everything so far except that the S/S single was included. Hopefully the cover will WOW us.

m(u) and MA are still my favorite albums, hope RnRC will top my list and sell well~

looking forward to the tour DVDs too!

yet we have 7 pages that include comments like "I'm so disappointed there will be less than 10 new songs, cuz she'll add the interludes"/"I don't like the album title". Sure people have the right to say what they think, but others also have the right to not like what others post and ****** about it :P

^ I was originally planning to buy all versions but since there's a box set I probably won't buy all the version since the box set is 133ish

I actually think they will bump up the track count...

After all it does say "10 new tracks (planned)" in the description...

cultural differences can be quite confusing sometimes eh? lol a bit like how the english term for an erotic movie is "blue film" but the japanese term is "ピンク映画" (pinku eiga) (pink film). <-- i know you can read the japanese Misa-chan but it's for the others that can't ^^

okay I see.:yes.I comprehend
Arigado
In asia we can understand too :love

bc you get a mug with tea included as a bonus gift for ordering the boxset

yes, that's why we discuss. Not go around calling people haters and saying they're just being negative. It's kinda tacky.

There is nothing new with this discussion versus past discussions lol Maybe we could change it by not being rude to people lol


And seriously, why was everyone talking about tea? lol
edit: ^oh I see :laugh

yay dont look back is gonna have a pv too then :P

Same name as tour, we could've guessed that right? Lookig forward to it and the NEXT LEVEL tour DVD anyway!

ya honestly, I'm hoping for this too. For me, although it says 14, the tracklist right now is a big ? until I see the tracklist

but until then, 14 tracks here we come

That's because the storm hasn't come yet. :)

Sure they do, but I'm just not sure what the point of it is unless you really, really like going around in circles. I'm probably guilty of it too though, but it just shouldn't be done rudely like Emiko said.

And btw, lol for the very casual discussion about tea going on right now. :)

HAHAHAHAHAHA i knew it!!!! the title kicks ass!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D


i knew it would be on april 14!!!! yay for me!!!!! hahahahahaa yesss

AMEN

guys i wanna ask..
if we buy the BOX SET version..
will us get the AT09 DVD with 3 DVD like we buy separately from the box set?
because i'm not going to buy the BOX SET if the DVD only contains the live performances without the making off shot/backstage

OMG YAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope I can order the album+live box set :D

I hope CDJapan puts it up soon!!

Well it might have 15 songs... the DVD tracklist lacks Sexy little things as of now and last year they posted that NL would have 13 songs. Might be but not too much expectation raisings.

I'm really excited and pumped for the album and I'm glad that the title is the tour's one I really loved it.

At last :D I was expecting the album title to be similar to the tour title. I might get the DVD boxset with NL DVD. For those who've seen NL concert, is it worth getting? I don't download large files so I don't know what it's like. I hope the photobook is included in the set, if not I'll get the CD+DVD as usual.

wow~~
How about adding this link to the article in the official (and open) site to the first post?
http://avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/100305.html

And I thought "tea" is simple and better. Would some people (in China?) think "black tea" is one type of chinese tea? I'm not very sure.

addition to this topic, it is called 黃色影片 (Yellow Video) in Chinese :wink

so colourful LOL

hahaha yeah...the thread is just moving so fast. it's kinda hard to keep up.

i reaaaaaaaallllllly want the boxset and it's so worth it but i'm kinda torn on what to do. i got the "NEXT LEVEL" usb and it does nothing but sit around. LOL however, i dooooo drink a lot of tea [玄米茶 (genmaicha - tea roasted with rice) is my absolute favorite, just in case anyone wants to know hehe] so i'd probably get a lot of use out of the mug. i bet the boxset is gonna be sold out so quickly tho! :thud

Arashi came and swept everyone off their feet already! Or not...

Does this mean that I'll be seeing a guest-starring-you post at JPM...? Uh oh. -fears-

But really, never did I mention the word hater, and never did I single anyone out, haha. Though it is pretty obvious given previous things that have been said [even outside of AHS].... ouch, throat is acting up and heart is still racing.

I'm really looking forward to this release though. I can't stress that enough. I think when I'm in this weird "ULTRA AYU FAN" mode where a new release is announced, everything's just amplified and it feels as though I want to punch someone because I'm so happy, haha.

YESSSS FINALLY <3333
**prays i'll have money before first press is gone**

don't worry...i know how you feel! i'm always stuck in that mode. on overdrive. LOL :P


hahaha nice. i love these harmless little sidetopics. ^^

It comes out the day I leave Japan! I hope they sell it at the airport!!

I don't think anyone was being rude :) And considering the lack of information this thread is bound to get stuck in a loop sooner or later.

Anyways I have more than 6000 points on CDJapan, but I am not sure if I can spare another 5000k+ yen for the shipping and the limited box :rolleyes I want the Ayu mug :dead2

edit: 6000 yen is like $66 xD Goodbye mug it was nice thinking I might have you at some point T_T

ah~ that sucks, I hope you get it in time :glomped

finally we get some news!

Huh? I have an account at JPM (same username as here) but I pretty much only post in the Oricon thread, I'm not in the Ayu threads too much. Trust me, all the Ayu hate over there comes from sources completely independent of me. I sit back and marvel at the venom thrown at Ayu and her fans over there - so when even I am astounded, then yeah, it's bad. :)

hahaha. and don't forget that brief discussion on erotic movies :lech

I see. It's pretty bad. Especially what's said about AHS and etc.... but what's worse is that some bad things are said abut other artists in that forum, and they punish you with the fullest extent of the "internet law" and with Ayu... yeah. But Ayu is pretty much a joke over there. It's sad. Though recently, I haven't noticed a difference.

Anyway, heart rate is back to normal, and I'm breathing normally. I think I might be getting the tea mug set box... I hope it doesn't sell out on CDJapan. I might actually start drinking tea because of it maybe, hahaha.

Hm... I hope the photobook is easy to scan this time, or maybe someone who usually scans will do it? -dizzy-

OH YEAH. YAY AT09. I've been waiting for AGES for that DVD. The TV version's angles are so WONKY.

Wow. Thankyou for the information misa-chan :). The whole mug and tea thing, lol pretty funny

I wonder how many will use the mug to actually drink out of?!
or perhaps just sit it on the desk and use it as a pen/pencil holder or add to ayu merchan...

glad to see a Brit finds it amusing and not distasteful ^^ ((btw...i hope 'Brit' isn't a derogatory term. haha i think it's cute))

It is worth it. IMO, AT09 is really a good show without too many huge props or anything... just some awesome screens and Ayu performing her heart out!

CD+DVD+PB is in the tea+tour limited set as well.

yes yes yes!!! finally!!!

oh good god... i can die happily now~ :D

no i want the full tracklist! :D

I actually like this title, I think the only reason people are disappointed is because they got way hyped for an unannounced name, and then it turned out to be the one we'd known all along.

I am SO getting the CD+DVD+AT09 one! :D 11500 yen though... Ouch. :P

CDJapan listed the Album + the DVD, but not the Box Set...

its on cdjapan already?

I wonder if we'll get more tracks

I remember when NEXT LEVEL was announced it said we'd get 13 tracks but then 14 appeared on the tracklist :D

the box set is like ta limited?

It's up for pre-order @ CDJapan. No SPECIAL BOX, though... :(

where is Sexy Little Things?

it had better be a good album.

EXACTLY!!! :yes

Yeah :O I don't see the box set there!

both cd only and cd+dvd have first press on cdjapan

actually it's quite funny,but the other thing that's special bout this album is Ayu's giving us a tea bag? XD

lmao :innocent

my bf has agreed that he will purchase CD+DVD version for me!

i saw it on cdjapan already.no limited edition version T_T
is it for TA only?

I think it's an ok title, it does make me kinda scared about what her graphic designers are gonna do to the cover though, with a name like that :nervous

There is nothing written about TA only.
But maybe it´s mu-mo only so we have to wait till it´s listed on mu-mo, so CDJ + YA can buy it from them XD

Uh oh, where's the box set?!

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38102 - CD+DVD
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38103 - CD only
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVBD-91786 - AT09

I would totally flip if CDJ or YA won't sell the Box set! It's the Box Set or Nothing for me

So only the CD+DVD has a photobook? :(

and the Box Set :O

probably so

i hope its available on cdjapan.i still not sure if i'll buy it or not because i prefer to have subtitle for the AT09 especially when disc 3 is filled with emcee session

Subtitles come waaay after release though usually haha.

I'm just happy that the DVD is already coming out. I'm so excited for it and the album!

It's strange... maybe they're confirming how many copies each store online will be getting?

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38104

HERE!!!

But this version is without photobook????

OMG the shipping cost x___x

Oh sweet lords heaven...

FINALLY!!! :heart

*SCREAMS*

*RUNS AROUND AND FLAILS*

*PRE-ORDERS THE CD+DVD ON CDJAPAN*

*RUNS AROUND, FLAILING AND SCREAMING SOME MORE*

I will definatly buy the boxset as soon as it´s available for order somewere and not sold out XD
I don´t care much for the mug and the tea bags, but I want the box *_*
I really hope CDJ + YA will have it too, I don´t wanna order it on mu-mo, it´s so expensive with middleman fees + custom fees + internal shipping and whatever..

haha.this is why i might not get the limited edition box :(
unless i won the lottery :D and i'll buy both :tipsy
i'm wondering when will they announce the release of CDL DVD :shakehead

finally!! uff xD gonna pre-order now :P

avex is really killing us and they just like to empty everyone's wallet >.<

release the album and the AT09 DVD at the same day,i wonder how's the sales on that day,

now just waiting for the cover and of cos the tea bags,lol would it be like a tea bag with A logo or pink tea bag with A logo? lol i'd not use that if i have it haha

@@ the limited edition box cost 11238 yen after adding EMS @@
