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

[aura~]

oh.. the lyrics.. well! we have the handwritten lyrics for RED LINE, thos ehave to be also the ones in the album version ^^ anyone checked if they were the same as the single ver.???

[Misa-chan]

I think it'll be a remix, like how it was with Endless sorrow. Excited to hear it too, I just love the original RED LINE!! ^^ I've never downloaded anything from mu-mo before, but I think I love RED LINE enough to start!

@walking.proud: yeah, they're the same lyrics as single version!

[RyRyMini]

Why did she perform SEASONS? It doesn't really promote the album. But hey, it beats evolution, right?

The Microphone performance was good, but the pimp chair and spider web were a bit out of place.

[truehappiness]

They were transcribed and are the same as the original.

I suppose by "extra lyric" I was thinking of something weird like more lalalas or an oooooooh ooooooh in the middle of the song, haha.

The theme of the show was 20 years of #1s and everyone performed a #1 or top 3 hit and a brand new song. Ayu chose SEASONS out of the following songs, I suppose. (She had 12 #1 monthlies shown last night.)

8月　monochrome(「A(monochrome,too late,Trauma,End roll)」(4曲A面))　浜崎あゆみ
6月　SEASONS　浜崎あゆみ
12月　M　浜崎あゆみ
2月　evolution　浜崎あゆみ
10月　Dearest　浜崎あゆみ
8月　independent(『H(independent,July 1st,HANABI)』(3曲A面))　浜崎あゆみ
10月　Voyage　浜崎あゆみ
7月　ourselves(『&(ourselves,Greatful Days,HANABI～episodeⅡ～,theme of a-nation'03)』)　浜崎あゆみ
11月　No way to say　浜崎あゆみ
4月　Moments　浜崎あゆみ
10月　CAROLS　浜崎あゆみ
5月　STEP you／is this LOVE?　浜崎あゆみ

She could've performed anything really, but fans in Japan guessed SEASONS quite easily. I wonder why...

[Misa-chan]

@th: I think the right word for that is ad-libbing, instead of lyrics.

lol, when I listened to SEASONS I just got a feeling of RnRC, because of the lyrics. They sound like an echo of Dlb's lyrics to me. Maybe it's just me, but when I first saw the performance I totally understood why she chose SEASONS. ^^

Ah, yes, should've said that. Haha. But sometimes there are album versions with little tweaks like that. I'm praying it's sort of an ~epic ballad~ rearrange or something. But the placement at the end of the album post-You were... either indicates that it's a ballad version, or that it is taking the place of what would be Humming 7/4 / flower garden / etc.

I also desire a bonus track, haha.

[Tom Punks]

I thought RED LINE was the bonus track?

[aura~]

^
^don't forget the mu-mo track... if we have a hidden track and that one in mu-mo... that would be amazing ^^ Oooh it's true... in fact qe have 8 new songs ^^ (i'm sure we'll be able to lsiten to de mu-mo song in HQ ^^)

I think RED LINE will get a who... feeling ^^ the original version is more like MY ALL ^^

[truehappiness]

I thought RED LINE was the bonus track?

Where'd you get that idea from?

People seem to believe that RED LINE was not intended to be on this album, but I think from the very start of the album's conception, it was in the tracklist. Which means that one of the songs that we have was originally not a part of the tracklist. It's not like she decided at the last minute to include it or something... they probably decided on it when they created the dance for it at CDL09-10, you know?

The added song was probably meaning of Love or something. Last Links had a tie in lined up already, and the only songs that weren't "done" when the album was announced with 14 tracks were probably count down, meaning of Love, and Lady Dynamite. (Don't look back was a part of the announcement with Microphone)

[lumieregrl]

From what I understand, the bonus track is on the DVD, and it is:

"ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2009 ～NEXT LEVEL～" DIGEST

[duque]

just watched the MS live..

I really liked it

I was really shocked(in a good way) that she sang seasons xD I liked her vocals in this live and looooooooooved the chair, the webs, the lights, the dress xD

Example of previous bonus track usage:
http://www.jbook.co.jp/p/p.aspx/2344949/s

Memorial address was a "BONUS TRACK" for the CD and the A MUSEUM digest on the DVD was a "BONUS TRACK"...

Though I suppose if she were going to do a bonus track thing, she'd have announced it. Probably a hidden track would be more likely...

I dunno, I had a weird memory of seeing "(bonus track)" next to it on the track list or something but I guess I was just imagining it. @_@

Hm, probably a dream or something before the album information came out, hahah.

Well it does have -album version- next to it.. so maybe things got mixed up

BTW I absolutely LOVE Microphone performance!! She's fierce!! Does anyone know why she's covering her face after the song though?

Maybe she couldn't handle her own fierce-ness

Probably because of the cute mistake in SEASONS with the first chorus' lyrics. xD

Lol, the crazystrong wind blowing right at her face to create that hair-flying effect during the song, perhaps?

Yeah I noticed that but it was hardly an error! If I wasn't reading the subtitles I wouldn't even have noticed. She's done far worse and got away with it. (Mirrorcle World, anyone?)

Truth

[Well it probably was the error, but I think there's no need to be ashamed for that. SEASONS is ancient anyway]

because -I assume- you don't know japanese, right? cause the sentence had a weir meaning with her mistake! someone already posted it:

Today was very sad, (mistake ^^)
and tomorrow will surely be fun as well. (LOL)
"These days will continue forever,"
or so I thought at the time.

I noticed it because I know the lyrics... but for a japanese that surely sound weird LOL even if they don't know the original lyrics LOL

[ayumisrael]

That's what ayu makes lyrical mistakes live makes!

chaku uta FULL: #47 SEASONS ↑
RBT: #91 SEASONS ↑
Video Clips: #37 SEASONS PV ↑

She should do such mistakes more often lol
