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

[Tom Punks]

My excitement is off and on. Every time something new comes out, I get SUPER excited for the album, and then as time passes and no news comes out, I go back to feeling like the album isn't worth getting excited for. But right now I'm super excited, especially for Last Links.

I like this album so much more than NEXT LEVEL.

[LEOyumi]

I think that the nice thing about this album is the massive amount of different styles of the newtracks. GUILTY and NEXT LEVEL, at least to me, follow certain patterns (with some exceptions, of course), but it doesn't seem to be the case this time. Those two are the albums I like the least from her, but this time I'm very very happy with this album, but there's more to expect, since I only listened to the singles and saw the PVs.

And it's actually strange to think some people consider Secret a mess. I think it flows so well (except for It was that seemed to be thrown in the middle).

[truehappiness]

It was' awkwardness makes complete sense considering it was meant for (miss)understood and was scrapped due to the GEO (?) involvement.

I wish she'd tell us what other tracks were supposed to be on that album before GEO became a part of it, haha.

[theSKYBLUETIES]

I love how Ayumi creates such changes in her musical career and this is no exception.

Love this album so much as well as all of her other ones! They are all unique and different but all AYU!

I do have that feeling towards NL as well. There's something missing (probly part of the feeling?), and I find out the feeling of "it's not enough" after the end of curtain call. Still it's a really good album.

I actually find it's ok to place It was in Secret. Doesn't hurt the flow much. The funny thing is.. I feel the "emptiness" (or incompleteness) in Secret as well. It's just similar to NL that I feel something was missing in the album but in a different perspective tho. For NL, I feel that the album should be a bit longer and I think ayu can extend a bit more. On the other hand, an element (dunno what it is, just my feeling) was missing. Hmmn weird me..

[pepper]

yeah exactly, i almost lost interest when i heard first chakuuta (omg, this is boring blablabla) but when i saw the raw pv leak for SLT i was like "omgomgomgomg" again.

[kumikomishitate]

As odd as this may seem, I didn't like Secret as a whole package, yet I loved many of the individual songs on that album. I am... on the other hand is pure perfection to me. If it weren't for, as someone called this single earlier, Sun****, then RnR Circus would probably get second place or something in my list of favourite albums. As of now, I have a feeling it'll be lagging right behind Duty...

[pepper]

and GUILTY was "meh" for me too... something missing there, and one of the boring songs ever - called "GUILTY" (such a great name for a not good song xP)

wow really? now that you say that, it does really fit well with and gives me a (miss)understood vibe.

[truehappiness]

Now that is just uncalled for.

It's because there is nothing about it that stands out other than it is ridiculous and poorly put together when compared to the other PVs.

[Cherry Dynamite]

Someone actually love Sunrise/Sunset I know I do.

[jbrat2219]

The only albums I can listen to from beginning to end are RAINBOW, (miss)understood, Secret, GUILTY and NEXT LEVEL. I think Ayu's flow got better as she went on. I'm interested in seeing how RnRC will flow!

Yeah but it doesn't have to be. It's meant to be fun and ridiculous and chaotic... so what's the problem lol? Like I said this kind of PV was perfect for Kazu. I wish he had only done this and never went near Mirrorcle and GREEN (Sparkle I'll forgive). It's not like it has a deeper meaning like Don't Look Back or are two symbolic pieces that require major interpretation like Micro and SLT.

Yeah, we get it. You've said it 500 times. You get offended when people say they don't like Sunrise/Sunset. Maybe you should just get over it. Nobody else whines so much when people diss something they like.

Whatever. I call it standing up for something that I believe in, not whining. If I were whining I'd be calling it ~Sunsuperamazing~ and that you all were idiots for thinking that it's terrible. Ignore my posts if you're so against seeing me stand up for it. How dare you tell me to get over it when you're the one who should get over it. This sort of thing can be avoided if people just kept their hate for Sunrise to themselves and not try to be such complete douchebags towards it. It's this sort of attitude that bullies and etc. have and recently something that isn't so nice happened to a nice little girl (Bless her soul.) who moved here from Ireland.

I just swear it's getting old seeing people complain about Sunrise for NO GOOD REASON WHATSOEVER.

I agree 100%.

That's fine - if it's executed well - but I don't feel that it is. Kazu's directing and editing just isn't good and I don't like how Ayu's mouth gets all crazy looking in his PVs, lol.

What's so wrong with people hating a song and complaining about it? Just because you like something doesn't mean there's no reason whatsoever to hate it, Sunrise has a poor, animeish arrangement and has some dragging moments, there IS stuff there to complain about if you happened to hate it. Don't be a douche because someone else *GASP* has a differing opinion from you on an internet forum.

Bolded was unnecessary tbh, did you have to attack her? Don't be a **** man, get your head out of Ayu's ass please.

[truehappiness]

Fine, I'll remove it.

If it weren't for, as someone called this single earlier, Sun****,

This is not complaining and not liking a song imo.

Maybe you should follow your own advice and ignore everyone else's posts if you're so against people hating on Sunrise/Sunset. It is whining by the point that you've said it's offending like 10+ times. Like grow up and get over it already. Not everyone is going to like everything you like and people are allowed to voice their opinions about it as much as they want. Believe it or not Sunrise and Sunset are on this album so people are going to keep talking about them while they're in the thread for this album.

I guess you think I'm an Ayu hater because I didn't like NEXT LEVEL or Sunrise. lol. Okay.

[jbrat2219]

Okayyyyyy so some people don't like Sunrise, some people don't like Days either. But they're both two of her biggest hits right now so we're all going to have to deal with it regardless So let's shut up with all this quarrel and get back to talking about how amazing RnRC is and how excited we are for this album, kthanks
