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

^ i only feel that this isnt our little lost ayu who for half her career was trying to find her way and for the other half was just being herself but her fun diva self. now "ayu" is changed or either showing a different side to herself

here i feel that ayu truly has taken a new step to change herself. even looking at the lyrical content of the album i see something different. i see her truly expressing herself on the concept of her ear, and how she feels about her career. i see these great feelings of love. even this sort of overall theme is quite different for her. the style of songs like Sexy Little Things and etc are different too. She really has simply grown up and is there and has found a good way to express herself in this album. ^___^ I think understanding her message in Don't Look Back is important here in her sort of stepping away from her past . . .and the thing is. u can see she really is trying.

I know she's changed, I know she's expressing herself and I know the importance of Don't Look Back, but I still feel this is her worst album up to date. I wish it wasn't, but to me it is. I was really hopeful for the album after Microphone, though. It always seems like I'm the only one who expresses dislike for Ayu. And it always goes down the drain here with everyone always saying how great Ayu's newest single/album is. While being a fan, expressing dislike is a rightful thing to do as well imo.

[AyUta]

The only tracks I really do not care for are the intro and meaning of love.

[babamon]

I don't really like Don't look back and sexy little things in the first place. But those songs are growing on me. The longer i listen to the album the greater i think it is

[untitledforayu]

Yes ok, I agree Ayu has changed and all. I mean, she can't keep singing about being a lonely, confused teenager/ young woman anymore, because...she's not.

But this doesn't excuse her from making bland, mediocre music!!!
So BALLAD is beautiful, Don't look back is fun, Microphone is cool and Sexy little things is good when I'm in the mood...but surely Ayu hasn't changed into a person so devoid of personality as the rest of R'n'R C!!

Luckily ASFXX sounds so dated and has terrible vocals, so I can say that, in my opinion at least, R'n'R C is her 2nd worst album

While I know that count down is supposed to be about her deafness is her left ear, did anyone else notice how in the beginning of Last Links, the guitar was only heard in the right side? At least it was like that on my iPod earbuds.

I heard the same thing! Yes, I thought it was weird why Last Links only right side of my earbuds works.

count down (deafness of her left ear) and Last Links (her right ears is the only ear function well and the last link ...)

It is a plausible thought!.

The rest... count down and Last Links is starting to grow on me, but for now I'm unsure about them. When I get my album I will listen to it in one sitting in the correct order to decide, but only when I get MY copy, hehe!

[rainydayumi]

i hated you were... but since listening to it on the album, its starting to sound quite good. meaning of love isnt so bad too i dont understand why so many calls it "worst ballad". count down is really her worst song, it starts off so well but the chorus is tuneless and bad.

5 songs in each category, hah
in the "unsure" i put the songs that i find just mediocre...

wonder why so many people here love "don't look back". good for ayu, i guess
video was interestig, but i find that song reaaallly bad.

[♥Rain]

^ i love don't look back. i think its the whole arabic/indian tinge to it but also for me... LOL i LOVE how she says "damase nai" it just makes me go all EEEEEEEEEE

gosh the more i listen to this album, the more i fall in love with it ♥ ♥ i absolutely adore every album track

[jean-baptiste]

am i the only one who's waiting for the non-single/non-PV tracks to grown on them?

like, i liked count down, Last Links, and meaning of Love but it didn't leave a strong impression and i don't even remember what they sound like. and i feel like skipping them when they come up. =\

but i know they'll grow on me. hopefully soon though...

on a brighter note, the rest of the album is absolutely awesome!!!

[kotora]

Can I put MOON in this thread as well since it is a bonus preview track?

MOON is like Last Links. Although it is very LQ, I like it because it's like Last Links, and I love Last Links so much.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

^ MOON is waayyyy better than Last Links IMO~
