This is my first post here in a long time (new comp finally!).

I finally had a chance to listen to the new album. I really do have to say that Ayu did not disappoint me. I enjoyed every song on Rock n Roll Circus, my favorite track actually being a toss- up between "Count down" and "Last Links", but "You Were..." is definitely a close second for me. I've always loved how Ayu's lyrics are so organic, which is especially apparent with this new album. I think it's awesome that her songs are legitimate reflections of life through human eyes (if that makes sense?), and though I do like other artists like Otsuka Ai, etc., I like that Ayu's songs (for the most part) are not just saccharine, upbeat poppy songs that all have the same basic message and remind me of being in second grade. Ayu's music is very mature, and though I love her remixes and happier songs, the more "Rock"-y style songs such as "A Song for XX", "It Was...", "Is this LOVE?", etc. are my favorites when it comes to Ayu.
