^ i don't think they were saying anything about only one person being able to do something, it's just that there's been an overwhelming amount of people with the same theme for the past few years.

It happens. It's like how electropoppy music got in all of a sudden, haha.

Still no word about the lottery on YesAsia... I am gonna send them an email and see if they have a different/better response this time. I know it usually takes YA forever to update, though. The only reason I ordered from YesAsia is because they show if you won a prize in your order, but I hate how effing long their shipping takes! If they don't have a lottery, or if I don't win anything, I am definitely ordering from CD Japan. I'll get my order at least 6 days earlier :yes

wish it was another gender and not electro pop :irked :roflmao

Who cares if this has been "done before"? none of the other artists invented the circus or own the concept. i love the name to death, and the saddest part is the fact that we don't even know the album titles and people is already making prejudices about how this "concept" (that we don't fully know yet) it's been used before. I mean, it's ridiculous. :rolleyes

the name makes me think, for some reason, of Criss angel's "Believe". Hopefully it's gonna be that awesome :D

honestly, i would get annoyed if it was an actual circus? LOL why can't we

some people get tired of seeing things, especially since we're so anxious for the album, it would suck to see something we're so exposed to be done again

It's not like a circus is only about playing with clowns and lions :rolleyes I'm pretty sure Ayu knows how to "Ayu-fy" whatever she's doing... we don't even know anything about the concert or the album and everyone's making it sound like she copied Kuu or Britney LOL.

^ that's true! if ayu can make a circus something Amazing (har har pun) then i'll give it two thumbs up regardless

Did you mean A-mazing? If so, that makes sense.

Just as a bit of a heads up about stuff..
CMJK keeps tweeting and blogging about recording and going to the studio... is Ayu STILL not done with the album?

O_O

...

EPIC ALBUM, FOR THE WIN? :D

CMJK has his own projects to worry about, but he primarily works with Ayu in the studio which makes me wonder...

IS SHE DONE YET!?#?!@?!@!?@!?

If the answer is no, then... oh my gooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

and circus theme's don't get any newer. they all contain the same aspects and it gets old.

:yes that's exactly what i'm thinking. the whole circus thing has been repeated over and over again for the past several years, it's rarely been fresh and exciting. i'm not saying ayu can't do it because she's not allowed to, just that there are soooo many other original concepts she could come up with.

There is a new message on TeamAyu.
I dont get it all but I think she is done with the album.

Spoiler:

She will probably do it this once and rock the hell out of it before moving on to the next concept, haha. It's not like she's doing to stay in circus mode beyond the tour/promotion for the album... and also it's not as though she hasn't been itching to use circus-related materials since her debut, haha. Soooooooooooooo many clowns and references to the circus over the years and she finally gets to use it for real in her Rock'n'Roll Circus...

昨日でアルバムレコーディングは全て終わり、PVも

It seems they have finished all recording only yesterday

Wow, looks like it. We should rejoice now! I told you all that she was going to tell us when she was done, and look! Haha.

Spoiler:

Yeah, the first few lines says she's finished all the recording AND PV filming for the album now.

Quote:

あとは、雑誌や歌番組での、プロモーションがまだまだ

残っていますが

Magazine shootings and tv performances, promotion for the album! :D She says there's still some left that needs to be done, so more promotion.

And she just basically tells us to look forward to it and how it's an awesome album.

Also, Ayu mentioned that this album took longer to work on than usual.

Quote:

いつもより制作期間を長くもらえていたから

I just wanna say that I trust Ayu's judgment, as she hasn't let me down in 10 years, and I love and appreciate what she does. I know it's gonna be good. :)

Hey truehappiness, could you please share CMJK's twitter name? :D

His twitter name is principalCMJK. Don't bombard him with too much, haha. He answered me after my first tweet to him, and he's fluent in English, I believe.

BTW, I am yet again SOOOOO EXCITED. I better be able to sleep tonight after this.

great!ya.she took longer time to produce this album.

i still hope avex can confirm what is the first press item for cd only version :p

Finally done with the album!!

Now...let's get to releasing it, shall we?! ...Okay maybe that's a little too eager -_-' I can't help myself! She's making me so curious now!

Quote:

As for the new TA message, it seems like the album didn't just take longer to work on, but she got them to allot more time to work on it. DVD-editing is still going but going very well.

On second read, I don't know if Ayu got them to allot more time or not, just that more time than usual was given to work on the album. So a clarification lol

tethevo's take on the entry. Seems like they let her work on it for longer than usual.

Ohohoh~
