Looking forward to it!

If she performs alterna again, I will be in heaven.

I hope her new rock songs will be more like End of the world / alterna / About you, something rough and less 'poppy'.

I hate this title. I wish I liked it but it's just tacky....no other way to put it.

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.

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.

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.

I actually LOVED the cute-sy section of AT08. I didn't think the cute section of AT09 was cringe-worthy, but it wasn't really the favorite part of my concert.

I don't mind the cute-sy portions of her concerts. They're there to basically please all the girls in the audience and make them go, "KAWAIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" I would love for a cute-sy section like the one at AT05. Even AT03-04's was cute, and I wouldn't mind seeing something like that again.

I can't help but wonder if the cute-sy section of CDL09-10 will somehow be "reincarnated" for AT10. She did say that CDL09-10 was like a prelude (or tied-in) with AT10, and her dancers did look very clown-ish-like, which are very important parts of a circus... *shrugs*

I seriously cannot wait to see what Ayu pulls out of her hat for this tour.

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!

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.

[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.

-imagines Shu-Ya and Zin dressed up in tiger suits while dancing-
That's a funny image! ahaha! xD
Yes things are aggressive... lots of doubt here... :/
I can't bear reading the comments anymore.

[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!

[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.
