ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2010 A ～Rock'n'Roll Circus～ title announced

[pommy48]

.....I would've be fine without the circus part...

but finally some news!

[lollipop sophie]

^ I know I'm just happy that we got some news can't wait
to see the tracklist!!

[ren0210989]

i'm expecting one crazy rock n' roll album now!
can't wait!!!!!!
it's like GUILTY II ~crazy version~

[truehappiness]

Expect a non-sugar coated report from me.

I think we expected that long before you said anything about it, haha. (Don't get too into the playback talk though, hohoho)

I'm surprised people got so aggressive here. I think most people's reactions are "Oh, cool!" or they just don't know how to feel about it and some people mistook that as hating it... can't you just be indifferent? Unless you really do hate it, of course.

I wonder if she's finally going to do away with the cute sections of her concerts... those need to go.

[jean-baptiste]

defintiely.
they kill any sense of a story-line in the show, most of the time.
and it's just another opprotunity to recycle outfits.

[emi♡]

Oh God. [2]

Seems like people have been saying a bunch of stuff already...

anyway. I don't like the title at all. Sounds...I guess like someone said, tacky, and "done".

Seems like...she might be heading somewhere new, and thats cool...then again, knowing her history with Rock as a genre, I'm not very excited at all.

And for some reason I expect a lot of yelling. But whatever. Those are just the first things that come into my mind when I see the title.

Maybe we'll get some new rock arrangements and stuff and it'll be interesting.

I really, REALLY hope that her outfits are cool this time around. Her rock outfits seem to be better I think sometimes.


As for it being the title of the album...well, she already has a song called "Microphone" so...I wouldn't have that high of expectations for the album title :/

I hope...I hope she finds a good sound.

[kotora]

If people in AHS keep doing things so aggressive, one day these news are locked and no reply are allowed.

*sigh

I want Team ayu dancer dress in monkey, elephant, lion, bear...or even tiger.. :p

[Kazeyomi]

^
lol would be awesome

[lollipop sophie]

You know sometimes I think people just shoot it down
and don't even give it a try just try it listen to it and if you
don't like it its cool but never judge something before you try it
you might be surprised I'm still excited/happy I wish I could
go see her live but sadly I'm just a student with no money lol
but I hope the tour turns out to be a success!

that and also the sexy dance with her male dancers. I want more performances of her just performing with her band. I enjoy watching that more than those cute and sexy performances...but performances like alterna and marionette is always welcomed.

a title really means nothing. If its the title of her next album then it doesn't mean every song is going to be rock and roll or circus related. how are sunrise, sunset, ballad, you were, or red line anyway related to being rock and roll or circus?

I was just saying, how you could get pop out of the title is ridiculous.

Plus, any idiot who knows basic grammar knows that Rock 'n' Roll is being used in this title to describe Circus. So this is a Circus of Rock 'n' Roll, at least for the tour.

Sorta agree, but it depends on how she does it I think.

in AT08 it was absolutely cringe-worthy, I could hardly look at it.
in AT09 however, EnergizE has to be one of my -if not THE- favorite performance!

But I do agree, it won't really fit into a Circus theme right! Unless she dresses up like some sort of.. I dunno, candy-girl or something like that, dunno.

[lanfix]

The new title sounds interesting xD I imagine about a concert venue like giant colorful circus tent LOL

In my opinion, "circus" and "rock 'n roll" are totally different themes. First things come to my mind when I hear "Circus" are more like something colourful, funky, festival-ish, great make up + outfit, stunt-oriented and full of choreography. "Rock 'n Roll" are more sounds cool, noisy beat, darker color.
So excited waiting for this concert.. I really want to see how Ayu collaborate circus and rock n roll.

[yatenkouxoxo]

Ayu listened to the Rolling Stones growing up so....the whole back to basics thing would fit.

That will never happen I think!
I mean, we are talking about Japan, japanese people love everything that is uppercute und childish!!

Last week I saw a poll where they asked the japanese people about their favourite Tracks on Ayus Albums.
And mostly there were those Cute Tracks like Honey ,MY ALL, ANGELS SONG...which were the favourites of the japanese people, so I don't think ayu will ever stop that cute Songs and cute sections of her Tours!

[nanakopy87]

i can't imagine how she's going to perform you were and ballad when the tour theme is rock and roll circus XD
i'm quite looking forward to this tour.ayu,i want surprises.i know you can do it!

She doesn't have to stop making those kinds of songs, since those are some of my favorites.

But the pink + cute sections of her concerts have got to go, you know... where she dresses in a princess outfit and such. I did like the AT06 sexy!cute thing she had going on with the pink nightie. I just think there are other ways to present those songs.

As for it being the title of the album...well, she already has a song called "Microphone" so...I wouldn't have that high of expectations for the album title :/

I hope...I hope she finds a good sound.

I think you might as well just say that you're going to hate this tour and the upcoming album. What was the last thing you liked from Ayu anyway?

Actually all of my previous concert reviews have been pretty positive. Even the AT08 one even though I thought her vocals could've been better was mostly positive. If I suspect something is playback there though, of course I'm going to say it; you couldn't call it a full and accurate review if I intentionally leave it out. Here's to hoping she just doesn't do it, period. The CDL gave me some hope in that area.
