The official thread for your thoughts for "Rock'n'Roll Circus" (Anything!)

[freedreamer]

^It could have been placed before or After Last links imo...but then there'll be too many medium ballads...and both of them really have a similar vibe and tune

[GRACE]

or she could have replaced Sunset with MOON I'd have been ALL for that.

Amen!

Like I've mentioned in another thread, MOON reminds me of Pierrot's Shingetsu! I would love it if Ayu drew her music inspiration from V-Kei! Somehow I think that's a realm she still has yet to explore. And it runs ramped in her own country! Get with it Ayu.

[joshohhhhh]

they should have definitely put MOON on the album.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

^ but it's better if they put is as a separate NEW single... yeah.. you know.. to make more money~

(damn Avex's tricky marketing LOL )

[nanakopy87]

i thought i'll hate don't look back.but now i love it alot!

[Piccolo]

I've listened to the album a couple of times, and it's decent, few okay tracks, but it doesn't stand out at all to me.

[chocopockymaster]

I'm going through and listening to my copy right now....oh man, maybe I was just spoiled by going to see the concert twice, but I feel like the production on Last Links and count down (that's the farthest I've gotten in the album) is really, REALLY bad. They sound so hollow to me.

I agree actually. Very surprising for Ayu, but I find the production on both those tracks kind of amateurish. (her vocals as well)

[Kinglopi]

Just got my limited edition boxset from amazon.jp but feel very sad i does not come with the poster and the box also quite big.

[truehappiness]

They sound so hollow to me.

Ouch... but her live arrangements usually are a step up from the originals, I think, right?

I think this happened with most Sunrise performances that were done in concert, anyway.

(Maybe when the DVD comes out, you could do a live rip sort of thing, heehee~)

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

it always happens i think... live is so much better most of the time xD


for example, im in love with speechless by lady gaga now, after seeing her live wow, just wow

[freedreamer]

just heard MOON again..and it suddenly gave me a "Moments" vibe O.O

and im trying so hard not to get count down and Last Links' chorus mixed up hahah

[Tony G]

MOON sounds nothing like Last Links -__-

It could fit on the album, but it couldn't take the place of Last Links.

and don't look back is so much more than "another arabic/oriental sounding song" There's so much more to the composition that people are missing. And its the combination of the instrumentals, the lyrics and the PV that make that song epic win for me.

TO ME, MOON sounds like Last Links. You don't have to accept because that is my opinion. You have your opinion that it sounds completely differently, and I don't blame you.

However, I don't understand why MOON is not included in R'n'RC??? Sunset does not fit for the entire album at all, but MOON should fit (perhaps?)

[Not~Yet]

^I totally agree. The athmosphere captured in DLB (both song and PV) is just perfect. Oh and aside other instrumentals I really, really love the loud beat. That song is definitely very well thought and executed, from non-biased POV, I think.

Yup! Don't Look Back was executed PERFECTLY! It's subtle but it packs a lot of power behind it. Not everything has to have some fiercely dramatic composition + arrangement to make a great song. The fact that DLB doesn't need any of that makes it better than many of the songs she's done recently.

[Tony G]

I agree, the beat MAKES the song. its so awesome-ly executed.

[kendelle]

I just listened to the album for the first time to bring on the release day xD

My highlight tracks: Last Links, Lady Dynamite, sexy little things, Microphone, the meaning of Love, BALLAD, Don't look back. THE introduction was pretty epic too though.

I really feel like this album will become like her new MY STORY. I said it in the album thread but I'll said it again...the lyrics and epic feeling of the songs just give it the feeling of her new benchmark album. I think NL really was the beginning of a "new" Ayu

[waterballoon]

Yeah Don't look back is the perfect song on the album...

this album just needs to kick Sunset off and put MOON in and it'll replace RAINBOW as my 2nd favorite album lol
