Rock'n'Roll Circus - album information and covers [XII] - Page 15

Now before you read this... It was EXTREMELY hard for me to place the PVs and songs. I love ALL of the songs and PVs... I've been watching them OVER and OVER and OVER again. Oh, Ayu... you've created another fantastic album, lol.

My Rankings:

PVs:
Don't Look Back (LOVE the twist, the flashing, the red lights and darkness... especially love the beautiful 1 side of her face, and the crazy hair on the other. The crying/going crazy moments were great too. It's very metaphorical/symbolic with moving on - the hair cutting and vandalizing of her own Album art. I LOVE X100 this concept).
Microphone (The twist at the end was excellent. Reminiscent of alterna, the strange elements with random people looking angry, creepy, etc. was a nice touch. Ayu looks gorgeous, and I love her dress).
Lady Dynamite (I do LOVE Lady Dynamite. I like the gay club idea, and I do wish there was a plot... but for a no-plot PV, it was excellent).
Sexy Little Things (I like the avant garde style she has going. (: I just want more Ayu and less models. Cutesy and sometimes funny and funky, It's quite the piece of art, although it just doesn't compare as well to the others).

Music:
Don't Look Back(ARABIC/HINDI. My favorite style by Ayu, only second to the alterna, kiss o'kill, Microphone type rock. The instruments are a wonderful touch and I especially love her -dontlookback- whisper. Creepy. Brilliant and simple, yet relaxing).
3 way tie: Sexy Little Things, Lady Dynamite Microphone (I love them all.. oh my god... -drools-)

About the Kazu situation..
did he do Rule?
For having little/no plots I loved Mirrorcle World, Rule, Lady Dynamite.

I think Rock'n'Roll Circus will be her most epic album yet! So far, I have 9 of the 15 (well, 8 and a half, considering I have only the single version of RED LINE, heh) tracks, and even arranged in their "proper" order (with some of them missing what they're sandwiching XD), they sound great as an "album!"

2. Microphone - I couldn't have asked for a better opening song (THE introduction notwithstanding, since, y'know, that's an introlude)
4. Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ - this actually fits as a great ballad to follow the previous one, despite countdown being missing. Despite not having heard countdown yet (hence it's not here), Sunset would still fit.
5. BALLAD - this follows Sunset quite perfectly. :3
8. Don't look back - this song is creepy as hell, but I love it anyway! it's just enough to continue the epicness where BALLAD left off, but picks up the pace of the "album"
10. Lady Dynamite - I love the instrumentals of this song, and I love how confident she sounds. A perfect antithesis to the previous "track."

11. Sexy little things - This is my favorite new song so far. It's an Ayu song dream come true (I had always wanted Ayu to do a jazzy type of a song, and with this swingy pop number, she delivers! <3)
12. Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ - this actually sounds great after the quirkiness that is Slt
14. You were... - slowing things back down, but it still sounds good like that
15. RED LINE ~for TA~ (single version) - the perfect album departure. it's upbeat enough to not be boring, but not too fast that you're left wanting more.

APRIL 14th, GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW

Ah, I forgot listing that one for Ishii. Ishii did Rule.

The only PVs that Shimoko has done are MW, Sparkle, GREEN, and Lady Dynamite. All somewhat.. sexual in a way, haha.

Bigtop · #**285** 2nd April 2010, 12:03 AM

Maybe "Sexy little things" would really be a really unusual song for something to play on April Fools' day...

haha, That's awkward, but true.

Well then, +1 for Ishii~!

She looked sexy in Rule, not going to lie...

nanakopy87 · #**287** 2nd April 2010, 12:37 AM

not only sexy in rule.she's very natural also.
somehow i feel she's quite unnatural in MW and sparkle.

Ayumiko · #**288** 2nd April 2010, 12:37 AM

Ishii is great with ballad pvs...momentum, part of me, together when..., days, and ballad.

LOL. If ayu can make a video dancing w/ (let's say) Shuya on the bed like Shakira did w/ the male dancer, I will definitely give ayu an A+

. That video was ridiculous but fun at the same time

^ Shakira's 'Did it again' music video is awesome. Nearly everything that Sophie Muller touches is gold in my opinion. If Ayu ever did something that like... oh God, I'd cry of happiness.
