Rock'n'Roll Circus promotion thread
 

So, this thread will house the promotional aspects of this album since it'll probably be a lot easier to find in the future when users want to look back on this era, haha.

Promotion has started in Shibuya, and should spread soon.

I wonder how they'll make the transition from the CD+DVD cover to the B2 size
hmmmm

Great idea of a thread truehappiness!!


The poster looks so good there. =D

TH organizes things really well as usual :D.

Can't wait... Hope R'n'RC billboard will be at the top of 109 building.

YES! I was waiting for such a thread! *.*
I LOVE promotion pics for Ayu's upcoming releases. They're always soooo cool!

Thanks for posting!
I hope, there will be more photos soon! <3

What a gorgeous view. I would be proud to walk around SBY and see that!

I hope she'll be on the top of every famous buildings XD

wow thx for sharing..
finally, RnRC has started its promotion!!

Must be really brand new cause I was just there day before yesterday and there was nothing. I'll keep my cell phone cam at the ready now.

It's the CD+DVD cover. XD

^ Yeah. Thank God it's not the CD-Only :dead2

yuhuu. promotion is starting, hopefully she gets massive promotion

Taken somewhere in Shibuya on March 29th by a close friend.

^ That looks cool

LOL..is anyone gonna see that high from below??? ahhaha...but yay promotions are starting!! They have to since the Tour is starting first...

I wanna see a huge 109 poster >.<

the promotion pics are good, I can't wait to see more.

Yay! Promotion! Seems a bit modest, but maybe that's for the best. :) But now I REALLY wonder which song she's going to perform to promote the album, she has plenty of great ones to choose from it seems lol.

yay promotion!
It's a bit modest, but that's ok at the moment :yes and wow time passed quickly D:
there are 14 (or 13) days only until the release date! *_*

Nice!

Oh yeah, it looks nice :yes
Can't wait to see more even in the most random place XD

Lol at the promotions and the 'strategic' places :laugh. The poster seems to be badly done and there's not much time left :(

They usually start putting the BIG things up about next week...

AKB's album is probably on all the big things at the moment.

I'm not sure if this is a RNRC promotion.
~.~

wow nice. it's big enough =D

I think it contains the tour dates in the city the pic was taken in, it's kinda both the album and the tour promo :)

sorry that i have to post this from the Tohoshinki's fanblog..
but what avex did for their latest single promotion is so cool!

http://sharingyoochun.wordpress.com/...display-board/

i hope AYu will get something like that for her RnRC album promotions..
it looks so cool!!

^ haha everybody is praising Avex there it's just quite contra with what happen here,well most of the time :innocent

Avex should do something special and grand for RnRC too :thud

Nah, doubt it.

The grandest that Ayu's promo will probably get is a 109 poster....

Unless they come up with something neat, which I again doubt. Ayu isn't an artist that really needs the promotion imo.

I wish they would put a 109 poster for the new album...

It didn't happen since (A COMPLETE...?) though. T~T

I would kill to make Avex did that to Ayu :thud

Even if I'm not actually there to see the promotion, somehow I always get really giddy seeing promo posters and such around different places.

i'm not sure if we can even call that one poster in shibuya promotion... :S

wtf is it with avex these days? they're not promoting ayu at all!!!!

ah...

I think ayu won't need so many promotion...

she's too FAMOUS in Japan IMO~~

LOL

just the TV CM is enogugh.. :D

but Y/B promotion is sooo aggressive !!

wow, that's such a HUGE PROMOTION .....

just kidding. u--u'

I think it's gonna be so cool that avex would make the electronic billboard promotions for Ayu, because i've never seen they use that for Ayu..
and I don't agree that Ayu doesn't need promotions in Japan..
hasn't Ayu lost her Japanese fans these few years? it's liked, only hardcore fans would follow Ayu to the very end?
so I still think Ayu needs massive promotions to gain ppl's attention..

People forget tho, having posters all over Japan is one thing but ayu's music is all over Japanese TV so I'd say she's getting plenty of promotion

I think they will do the 109 poster (I hope) and promotional trucks ^^

I want the one like DBSK did :(

She don't have to do promotions at Japan, she needs to have overseas promotion a lot. Let the Japanese fans decrease, but let's increase overseas fans!

You do realize that right now AKB48 is currently promoting their best album, right? Of course Ayu's promo isn't going to be big right now. She isn't the only artist in J-Pop.

:yes

This is better than NEXT LEVEL, right? Or not...? x.x I agree with those who say Ayu doesn't really need the promo, but seeing how pathetic the promo has been recently is still kind of annoying. I miss the promo from the (m)u era! She really didn't need the promo then either, but it was immaculate. *_*

The patheticness of the promo recently has been more due to the fact that it all falls JUST before her tour starts for 2009 and 2010, so... promo has been slim to none for her albums.

I think even Sunrise/You were... had more "promotion" than the last two albums, haha.

every artist needs promotion no matter how big they are
not that I care about how much promotion an artist gets
I'm just sayin'
I meant that :laugh

wow! super cool!

(wow..is that tsubasa magazine model in the top banners:luv2:luv2:love:love:love?

^ I think it was Kana Nishino..

i love promo posters! i hope she has more, and those trucks

So far I haven't seen any promo outside of that billboard in Shibuya. I think the most important place to promote is inside the train stations - that's what people see every single day. They are much more likely to see that than to see her on a music tv program.

Yep yep ♥ and with Kumicky....

Well they have put up more billboards. I have taken photos but they are still in my camera. The last ones I saw was in Ginza.
And I'm not too worried about the trucks. Ayu will totally have those singing trucks for this album. They will probably show up the first time around the concerts.

^ Cool. :) I'll see if I see anymore around today.

They'll probably have train station [train car as well] banners... Her LUMIX ones will probably be taken down to make room for them, haha.

^ I actually haven't seen any Lumix banners around - I have seen some stickers on the windows of JR trains for Rimmel though.

I saw them on some blog.

One of them:

She was on the pillars in the train station too, haha.

Edit: FOUND IT!

She gon' snap you.

^ Ahh I see. :) So far I have seen Rimmel sticker ads only though. The station from the first blog seems to be somewhere around Osaka though. I'm trying to read what station that is in the second, but its too blurry. It might be a totally different city from Tokyo as well. The blog is filled with comments saying they want that to be their station, hehe.

haha~~~ i just hope that they have the poster this big back in malaysia~

I actually think that ayu having her first 2 shows this weekend at Saitama will be big enough promotion by itself. Concerts are when the fans come with all the ayu vans, carrying ayu bags, wearing ayu shirts, typing messages to other fans on phones laden with ayu phonestraps, and "illegal" goods booths lining an entire street. Now THAT'S promotion lol! :D

Its the same billboard but close up (+1 far away) from fokis.se

OMG, That is even cooler in the dark ^_^

It looks like some sort of drama or food ad is on 109 at the moment.

From http://www.webspace.ne.jp/bbs/teamay...c_pr_1114.html.

Yanrei has these "BRAND NEW" free magazines with Rock'n'Roll Circus on the cover.

To be honest... the position of that billboard is not very good. I wish they'll take off HEY! SAY! JUMP billboard and replace it with R'n'RC instead :innocent

That all looks sooo cool!! I'd get all jumpy if I ever saw that, it's definitely cool promotion so they should totally do that for the new album.

I would jump and shout to whoever was by my side if I saw all this walking in shibuya or in the subway LOL When I was in Shanghai in August 2007 I saw Startin' PV being played in a shoping center and i started shouting to my mum: muuuuuuum it's ayuuuu!!" and recording it LOL

(poor international fans -or only me- that get pumped with this sexy little things LOL)

Nah, I did that when I was like "I AM BREATHING THE AIR AYU BREATHED... AND STEPPING ON WHERE SHE WALKED OH GODDD" at Ala Moana in Hawaii.

Lame, I know, but I was excited, haha.

^glad I'm not the only one... hahaha did the same in MW bridge in Paris XD

Haha @ the lumix pillars. That would freak me out, all those ayu's snapping you.

^ RnRC is much better! LOL :heart

As of a couple days ago, what's on 109 right now is one of Kimutaku's ads for a hair product.

Well, the album still isn't going to be out for a two weeks so they still have a lot of time to change billboards and ads since (big) CDs are basically coming out every week in Japan, haha.

she doesn't need big promo. she's ayu, everyone who is going to buy this album probably knows its coming out. Billboards won't have the impact they used to earlier in her career.

although, its nice from the western side of the world to see her album is getting noticed.

I agree with the fact that Ayu doesn't need promotion. I mean, obviously not, everyone knows who she is.

But I disagree in that Rock'n'Roll Circus DOES need promotion. :no Ayu might not, but this album will. Knowing who Ayu is and being enticed to buy this album are two different things.

I think this album will be getting relatively decent promotion.

TV promotion, that 12 random lyrics thing out of 400,000, magazines, giant posters, trucks driving around with her music blaring...

I do wonder how she'll reach the people who aren't in the middle of all of that craziness though. Just through simple TV/radio appearances? How do other artists approach those groups of people that don't see them all over the city?

The billboard looks cool at night.. I hope it'll replace that fugly HSJ poster lol I mean the color is meh and looks so cheap xD

they have to put RnRC billboard on top of the 109 XD

no more promotion around shibuya?
really...what are the management thinking?
is ayu really no need any physical promotion at all?

Patience everyone~ there's still time xD

by right they should start put all the banners and posters at everywhere this few days

I was in Shibuya yesterday and took some more photos of the poster (as well as a Rimmel display). I'm going to keep posting Ayu promotional pictures as I see them on twitter, since that's easier for me (I'm borrowing a friend's computer and don't want to monopolize it lol); you're welcome to copy them into the thread, and I'll try to post them here when I can.

I don't have a picture of it, but every 7-11 I've been in so far has had a little promo image for Rock'n'Roll Circus behind the counter. I'd imagine that's pretty effective--if you're waiting in line, you're pretty much a captive audience.

Posters^^

This seem to be one of the first press posters or Lucky Draw poster:

Normal Promo poster:
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1...g386x57812.jpg

erkk.i hope that is the lucky draw poster :P

WHAT? Are THOSE the posters??

NOTHING different!!!! :(

Isn't that Lucky draw "poster" is actually the back of the boxset or someting?
It looks like a hard cartone in the pic...

The 2nd one is probably the external bonus poster. ^^

is the type A poster?

The second one is the normal Promo Poster that is handed out to stores to promote, this is NOT the 1st press poster.

The 1st one is defiantly a Poster, every discription on yahoo says B2 Poster, I just don´t know if it´s teh 1st press or Lucky Draw one

If that's th FP poster I wouldn't mind, I actually like it if the design is like that!

OH WOW!! I really hope that's the 1st press poster! I love it! If it is, I'm very happy to be getting 2 of them. If it's the lucky draw one, then I seriously hope I get one - or I'm just going to have to buy one!!

I was standing in front of Tower Records in Shibuya this morning when "Microphone" started blasting. I couldn't see it from where I was standing, but think it's safe to say Rock'n'Roll Circus promotional video has is now in rotation for Tower Record's huge, outdoor screen. I'm excited to stop by on Tuesday and see what kind of displays she has. Do they usually just pass out posters or do you get it with a purchase?
