Rock'n'Roll Circus - album information and covers [IX]
Thanks to hachiroku for being so helpful and organizing everything! Kudos to hachiroku and Misa-chan! They're angels! Please try to maintain this post if you are the first person to post the thread when the other reaches 500!
Song update (bolded are confirmed full songs and two of the nonbolded songs are full tracks): 【CD】 01.THE introduction (introlude?) 02.Microphone (powerful and intense rock track about her musical career) 03.count down (rock ballad mentioning her "left side"/ear issues) 04.Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ (summer ballad) 05.BALLAD (winter ballad) 06.Last Links (full song?) 07.montage (interlude?) 08.Don't look back (midtempo track) 09.Jump! (interlude? full song?) 10.Lady Dynamite (impacting rock track for women) 11.Sexy little things (upbeat cutelectroswing) 12.Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ (summer upbeat song) 13.meaning of Love (interlude?) 14.You were... (winter ballad) 15.RED LINE ~for TA~ [album version] (upbeat ballad) ------------------------------ tokyoxjapanxfan and oji-i-san notified us of 4 new songs' release via chaku uta on 3/24! count down is a rock ballad, Sexy little things is a swing pop number (which has an electro tinge to it apparently), and Lady Dynamite is a rock song that makes a big impact. Lyrics were translated here by maikaru: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=444 The order is count down, Lady Dynamite, and Sexy little things. ---------------------------------------- Regarding first press goods, basically - A poster comes with a purchase of the CD+DVD / CD only, and there's a separate poster for AT09's DVD. The photobook only comes with the CD+DVD and the CD+DVD in the box set. There is a special access card with a serial number for a new song not in the album that can only be used by TeamAyu members in all copies of the album. There are also various things like a lucky draw, but they're basically making this release as confusing as possible when it comes to first press goods. ---------------------------------------- The SPECIAL LIMITED BOX. ----------------------------------------------- From appears: Pop-star ayumi hamasaki (31) has announced that 12 self-penned lyric-sheets have been enclosed within 12 out of approximately 400,000 initial pressing copies of her new album [Rock’n’Roll Circus] (released on 14 April). She has stated that this is a surprise from herself to the buyer. She got the idea of distributing presents, and she enclosed the lyric-cards in order to directly convey the world of music. She used her favourite pen in order to write on A4 size paper. With regard to the 12/400,000 probability of obtaining one of these rare items, hamasaki has said, “I put a lot of emotion into writing these, so I hope they will be treasured by whomever receives them.” Moreover a new song not included on the album, unconfirmed as to whether or not it will be released, will be a free chaku-uta present to fan club members who purchase the album. High-res version of the RED LINE lyrics at Ai Candy: http://www.ai-candy.com/archives/rock-n-roll-circus/ ---------------------------------- 【CD】 01.THE introduction 02.Microphone ●Honda ZEST SPARK CMソング/music.jp TV-CFソング 03.count down 04.Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ 05.BALLAD 06.Last Links ●TBSテレビ系全国ネット『報道特集』エンディング・テーマ 07.montage 08.Don't look back ●Panasonic デジタルカメラ LUMIX FX66 & ZX3 TV-CFソング 09.Jump! 10.Lady Dynamite 11.Sexy little things 12.Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ 13.meaning of Love 14.You were... 15.RED LINE ~for TA~ [album version] (全15曲収録) 【DVD】 01.Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ (video clip) 02.Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ (video clip) 03.You were...

I believe the CD only has the type A poster along with CD+DVD, and type B is for the concert DVD. Amazon.co.jp will not be including the posters as far as I know. Usually Amazon orders don't include things like posters or lottery goods. The limited box has both type A and type B posters as first press bonuses. --------------------------------------------- From angel-ayu: COVERS! CD+DVD CD only ----------------------------- The album has finished recording as of March 11th. PVs and songs are all done and ready to be mastered or whatever! She has yet to do more promotional work according to a new TeamAyu message though. From nanakopy87: the phone stand and the pencil case (Very nice design imo.) ----------------------------------------------- NEXT LEVEL's release pattern: Quote:

All emcee sessions, bigscreen movies, and videos of special moments will be included (planned)!! Source: http://avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/100305.html ---------------------------------------------- A lottery will also be held at stores and online at stores like CDJapan, HMV, and YesAsia for the following items. S = best prize you can get. S賞オリジナル・Sequin/spangle bag A賞オリジナル・Cushion B賞オリジナル・Pen Stand C賞オリジナル・Amenity pouch D賞オリジナル・Mini tote bag E賞オリジナル・Keitai / cell phone cleaner F賞オリジナル・Passkey holder G賞オリジナル・Memo pad H賞オリジナル・3 color ball pen I賞オリジナル・IC sticker J賞オリジナル・B2 poster、and original sticker set ※ 『what benefits are subject to change, Please note that when. Spangle bag that will probably have an Ayu logo on it: Some other facts to point out: - photobook comes with the CD+DVD version's first press - photobook is 36 pages - photobook will ALSO come with the CD+DVD version in the limited box - 10 new tracks and 14 total tracks are subject to change - CD only has no first press at the moment, but we have yet to find out more. - The amount of interludes is not known yet, but people still seem to be saying that there will be 4 with no reasoning other than what has been done for NEXT LEVEL and GUILTY... at the moment though, no one knows anything. - Sexy little things will be on the album, it just has not been listed in the tracklist since the songs that have currently airing CMs (Microphone, Don't look back) are the only tracks that Japan knows of right now. We know of it from ViVi, but that's about it... there's no reason for it to be listed in the tracklist at the moment. ----------------------- Links to other threads: New Album 14 April!

So Sexy little things is kind of cutesy? I like Ayu's cutesy songs, but I was hoping for 1LOVE x my name's WOMEN x (electro-sex). Yes the PV shoots we got don't quite fit "cutesy" but in the latest TA blog, the bunny outfit does.
Excited for the album yet again! |

I think this is the most number of news/discussions threads even BEFORE the album is even released. There are just so many and we're still weeks away

bjorky would be absolutely fantastic. her PVs are superb.. I'm glad we'll get a bit more rock, but I was hoping Lady Dynamite and Sexy Little Things to be maybe hiphop-ish. With the pictures and titles, they could've been.
But. we'll judge when we hear 'em, right? |

Hopefully the songs will make their way to AHS... Lady Dynamite sounds interesting - swing pop with electro. (:

I preordered the Special Limited Box Set on first day right away from YesAsia. I'm like so excited for all this! "Microphone" sounds great, i love the singles and like all the other previews so far. Just since I get this limited box set and both posters, I hope I don't win anything in the draw. There's many people who weren't lucky enough to get the nice limited set, so I hope they can get something extra from the draw. Only seems fair. Plus, I don't wanna be too greedy by wishing for more.
