Rock'n'Roll Circus - album information and covers [XII]
Thanks to hachiroku for being so helpful and organizing everything! Kudos to hachiroku and Misa-chan! They're angels! Please try to maintain this post if you are the first person to post the thread when the other reaches 500!
------------------------------- Song update (bolded are confirmed full songs): 01.THE introduction (introduction with a feel of a LIVE OPENING TRACK) 02.Microphone (powerful and intense rock track about her musical career) 03.count down (rock ballad mentioning her "left side"/ear issues) 04.Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～ (midtempo nostalgic summer love ballad) 05.BALLAD (Asian/Chinese drama inspired ballad) 06.Last Links (hopeful song that encourages to live with love) 07.montage (Dark orchestral interlude that leads into Don't look back) 08.Don't look back (midtempo Arabian/Indian sitar infused track) 09.Jump! (digital rock interlude with Ayu saying "JUMP" a lot) 10.Lady Dynamite (impacting rock track for women) 11.Sexy little things (upbeat cutelectroswing) 12.Sunrise ～LOVE is ALL～ (summer upbeat song with shades of electronic beats) 13.meaning of Love (great love song of overflowing love) 14.You were... (winter love ballad about a last love) 15.RED LINE ～for TA～ [album version] (upbeat ballad? We don't know the changes here) ------------------------------ oji-i-san notified us of the new songs coming out on mu-mo at midnight on March 31st in Japan. (Jump!, THE introduction, Last Links, meaning of Love, montage) All of the new songs are finally out except for RED LINE which will come later from mu-mo. ------------------------------ tokyoxjapanxfan and oji-i-san notified us of 4 new songs' release via chaku uta on 3/24! count down is a rock ballad, Sexy little things is a swing pop number (which has an electro tinge to it apparently), and Lady Dynamite is a rock song that makes a big impact. Lyrics were translated here by maikaru: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=444 The order is count down, Lady Dynamite, and Sexy little things. ---------------------------------------- Regarding first press goods, basically - A poster comes with a purchase of the CD+DVD / CD only, and there's a separate poster for AT09's DVD. The photobook only comes with the CD+DVD and the CD+DVD in the box set. There is a special access card with a serial number for a new song not in the album that can only be used by TeamAyu members in all copies of the album. There are also various things like a lucky draw, but they're basically making this release as confusing as possible when it comes to first press goods. ---------------------------------------- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9804/boxay.png The SPECIAL LIMITED BOX. ----------------------------------------------- http://i42.tinypic.com/25qtzfc.png From appears: Pop-star ayumi hamasaki (31) has announced that 12 self-penned lyric-sheets have been enclosed within 12 out of approximately 400,000 initial pressing copies of her new album [Rock’n’Roll Circus] (released on 14 April). She has stated that this is a surprise from herself to the buyer. She got the idea of distributing presents, and she enclosed the lyric-cards in order to directly convey the world of music. She used her favourite pen in order to write on A4 size paper. With regard to the 12/400,000 probability of obtaining one of these rare items, hamasaki has said, “I put a lot of emotion into writing these, so I hope they will be treasured by whomever receives them.” Moreover a new song not included on the album, unconfirmed as to whether or not it will be released, will be a free chaku-uta present to fan club members who purchase the album.

The limited box has both type A and type B posters as first press bonuses. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...eeen/fp-01.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...eeen/fp-02.jpg --------------------------------------------- From angel-ayu: COVERS!

PVs and songs are all done and ready to be mastered or whatever! She has yet to do more promotional work according to a new TeamAyu message though. From nanakopy87: http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...n_rrc02_ta.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...n_rrc01_ta.jpg the phone stand and the pencil case (Very nice design imo.) ----------------------------------------------- NEXT LEVEL's release pattern: If Rock'n'Roll Circus' patterns are to mirror NEXT LEVEL, it should go something like this. From Misa-chan: OFFICIAL TA NEWS!! :) (Images) Spoiler:

A special limited box set including a mug cup + bags of black tea! http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/8...a90f767f1f.jpg How the layout of the box will probably look.. CD contains 14 tracks.

Source: http://avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/100305.html ---------------------------------------------- A lottery will also be held at stores and online at stores like CDJapan, HMV, and YesAsia for the following items. S = best prize you can get. S賞オリジナル・Sequin/spangle bag A賞オリジナル・Cushion B賞オリジナル・Pen Stand C賞オリジナル・Amenity pouch D賞オリジナル・Mini tote bag E賞オリジナル・Keitai / cell phone cleaner F賞オリジナル・Passkey holder G賞オリジナル・Memo pad H賞オリジナル・3 color ball pen I賞オリジナル・IC sticker J賞オリジナル・B2 poster、and original sticker set ※ 『what benefits are subject to change, Please note that when. Spangle bag that will probably have an Ayu logo on it: Some other facts to point out: - photobook comes with the CD+DVD version's first press - photobook is 36 pages - photobook will ALSO come with the CD+DVD version in the limited box - 10 new tracks and 14 total tracks are subject to change - CD only has no first press at the moment, but we have yet to find out more. - The amount of interludes is not known yet, but people still seem to be saying that there will be 4 with no reasoning other than what has been done for NEXT LEVEL and GUILTY... at the moment though, no one knows anything. - Sexy little things will be on the album, it just has not been listed in the tracklist since the songs that have currently airing CMs (Microphone, Don't look back) are the only tracks that Japan knows of right now. We know of it from ViVi, but that's about it... there's no reason for it to be listed in the tracklist at the moment. ----------------------- Links to other threads: New Album 14 April!

Please notify me if there is anything that needs to be added to the first post! |
W00T! This album is awesome :D
|
Aw, crap, I forgot to put the release date....... Is that a big deal?? ^.^' (I ****ed up the thread, lol. :weep)
I'll just add it in bold to the top of the post.. EDIT: Nevermind, it's already in there..... Hm........ I still feel bad, hah. D: |
I love LD omfggggggggggggg
lord please help me from exploding from all of the awesomeness that is Rock 'n' Roll Circus she looks SO HOT in the lollipop scenes, and the ending was hilarious I.love.this.woman.so.much. |
Wow, did everyone forget about the other new song that will be available through chaku uta???
I wonder if we will ever get to hear it.. ('A') I hope so!! I wonder what song it's like. We just have to wait until release date! |
^.....Which song are you talking about? Because we've actually heard clips of every one, and full versions of all except for Last Links and meaning of Love (I believe).
About the PVs.... - Sexy litttle things - Love how weird this one is, hah!! The beginning, with the blood, is great. :P The song is really~ growing on me, too. :) - Lady Dynamite - I don't care, I like this one, too. :yes Not as amazing as most of the others, but still really fun and definitely different. - Don't look back - MY FAVOURITE!!! AAA!!!! And thank God, I'm actually beginning to like the song, too. Don't think I'll ever LOVE it, but it definitely has potential for me to really like it, hah. But yeah.... So depressing, the end of the PV. :( |
^
^ Did you mean Last Links and meaning of Love? There are the chakuta previews in the Download section. |

^ I know, right???? I don't understand the dislike for it. :no The song is really good, and the PV is so freakin' fun, it's hard to see somebody not liking it at all. :(
|
we should make a club of LD lovers :heart
the pv is GREAT! it's all about having fun! <3 |
I was expecting to see TH's ayu avatar when I clicked on the link (didn't really notice who created it), then I saw a bat (or something) in avatar lol. Thanks Crystal_Ageha for making thread XII :).
I'm surprised to see AHS doesn't crash... I thought with new pvs coming out, I would not be able to enter AHS today... :P |
^ Lol, you're welcome. Hope everybody's okay with it. Again, sorry for not putting the release date in the title. >.<' (And yes, it's a sexy, evil little bat. :heart)
And actually, I just had AHS crash on me a few minutes ago, and then for a while not too long before that.... Guess you got lucky? :mad |

I swear this woman is god, lmao. |

Wow... is Slt that bad? I didn't watch any except microphone, so can't judge rite now :D |
well im also a LD lover.
its just full of awesomeness and hotness of course ^__~ |
Wow, all of the new PVs are REALLY good!!
Don't look back is one of the strongest videos I've ever seen. It's been so long since Ayu released a music video as good as this one.. Anyway, I'm so happy that she's back to being EPIC! Sexy little things is really good too. I love almost everything about it; the bizarreness just gets the best of me. Lady Dynamite is also really great. Love the lollipop part and how there's so many gay things there. She's so exaggeratedly diva that it's impossible not to love it. xD Microphone is very good too, but it's the one I like the least. I don't really like the parts that she rips the screen, it gets too repetitive and it's kind of irritating. But except that, everything else is good to me. Unfortunately, there are the single PVs... The only good one is BALLAD, You were... is boring and both Sunshit are, well.. ****. If it weren't for them, this album would probably be the one containing her strongest PVs overall. Thanks for the great comeback to the video world, ayu! |
Someone actually maintained it.
-gasp- Yay! Quote:

I don't dislike LD. I love the song, like the pv. It's just missing the special stuff from the other pvs. It's a 'have fun' pv, nothing bad about it. :)
I have to say I like the pics of behind the scene lollipop more than in the actual pv. She seems cute in the pics but a bit trashy in the pv with it. LOL |
^^ Whoo! The Thread Master approves, lol! :cool

My ranking is: Don't look back Lady Dynamite Microphone Sexy little things BALLAD You were... Sunrise Sunset ..Wow, I didn't realise I liked Lady Dynamite THAT much, hah! :heart (I also didn't realise that BALLAD dropped way down. >_>) And I forgot how crappy the Sunrise/Sunset PVs were, lol.... Seriously, what happened there?? :( All the other PVs are amazing! Also, not to bring this up again, but after seeing the PV of Sexy little things in full, not once did I think of GaGa, until after it was over and I remembered how Lady GaGa-ish it was supposed to be.
