Rock'n'Roll Circus 4/14 new album information [14]
The following was prepared and compiled by Truehappiness, hachiroku, Misa-chan and others credited throughout, not me, but as the the previous thread has surpassed 500 and no one else has done it, it is here. If there is anything that should be added please send me a PM.
___________________________ 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): 01.THE introduction (introduction with a feel of a LIVE OPENING TRACK) 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~ (midtempo nostalgic summer love ballad) 05.BALLAD (Asian/Chinese drama inspired ballad) 06.Last Links (hopeful song that encourages to live with love) 07.montage (Dark orchestral interlude that leads into Don't look back) 08.Don't look back (midtempo Arabian/Indian sitar infused track) 09.Jump! (digital rock interlude with Ayu saying "JUMP" a lot) 10.Lady Dynamite (impacting rock track for women) 11.Sexy little things (upbeat cutelectroswing) 12.Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ (summer upbeat song with shades of electronic beats) 13.meaning of Love (great love song of overflowing love) 14.You were... (winter love ballad about a last love) 15.RED LINE ~for TA~ [album version] (upbeat ballad? We don't know the changes here) ------------------------------ oji-i-san notified us of the new songs coming out on mu-mo at midnight on March 31st in Japan. (Jump!, THE introduction, Last Links, meaning of Love, montage) All of the new songs are finally out except for RED LINE which will come later from mu-mo. ------------------------------ 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: If Rock'n'Roll Circus' patterns are to mirror NEXT LEVEL, it should go something like this. From Misa-chan: OFFICIAL TA NEWS!! (Images) Spoiler:
Arena Tour 2009 ~NEXT LEVEL~ DVD will be released on the same day too! April 14th (Wed) NEW ALBUM [Rock'n'Roll Circus] Release! Release date confirmed for 11th official album! Including big hit double-A-side singles [Sunrise/Sunset~LOVE is ALL~] [You were.../BALLAD], and recordings done in London for the first time, the new album features 10 new tracks (planned). The DVD will feature more than half the number of songs in the album, with 8 music clips! Moreover, all making-of clips will be included. Digests for the DVD [ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2009 A ~NEXT LEVEL~], which will be released on the same day, will be included as a bonus as well! -------------------------------------------- [ALBUM+LIVE DVD SPECIAL LIMITED BOX SET] ★Limited Edition Together with first press [CD+DVD] listed below, a box set which includes the LIVE DVD [ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2009 A ~NEXT LEVEL~].

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!

@waterballoon:
Do you think we'll get there (April 14th) without passing to the 15th thread? xD We all get so excited about "minimum" things... If the album leaks in HQ and the rest of the people who are waiting for that... download it and listen to it... hmmmm... there will be a lot of comments xD Besides... what about those who might fall to temptation and break their promises of not listening to anything else till they get their albums?!! (that's MEEE xDD!) Well...LOL... I just think we might be surprised

yup I believe the power of AHS will bring us to the 15th thread by the time April 14th comes LOL
anyway, does anyone know if the OS press of the album would include the 60-page photo book? I wanted to buy the Japan press initially especially for the photobook, but I have other priorities to spend my money on so I'm settling for the OS press...

I can hardly wait to see the making-off from London ^^ That's what I'm looking forward most to in this release I hope there will be somthing from the delivery of the "A WORLD IS ONE" book.

I will die with happiness if there's anything about A World is One in the making-ofs. That would be absolutely amazing.

(Random, but I'm curious about why 14 was used instead of XIV, and if you're going to maintain the first post or want to make it after the other one reaches 500, please at least try to add new information to it like the arranger/composer information.)
Composer/arranger information: Spoiler:
Oh well, haha. If anything about that book is in a making-of, it'll be in either Sexy little things (2nd PV she did in London) or Microphone.. or both!

I REALLY LOVE Japan version of her album but, since its pricey and I had some expenses for my dressmaking projects in school, I'll skip that version and buy OS 1st press instead. And its 14th thread already?!? I bet everyone was so hyped-up for this album release

and maybe Crystal Ageha doesn't know the roman numeric for 14? it's not a rule or a necessity to have roman numerics right...

Someone said "I wish the photobook was 60 pages" once, so that might be what you remembered.
It is 36 pages. And someone mentioned something about this: Quote:

Sorry if you don't like this little change in thread title. I think it's easier to read normal numerics than roman. I come back yesterday after a long break without being here and I had a big problem with keep up with the news threads because of these roman numerics.
Information about arrangers and composers added to first post. Is it something else I have to add? I think that putting previews or PVs isn't necessary. Maybe booklet photos? *adds*

Hm, if I were you, I would add the newest information to the top of the first post.
Right now, the flow of information is like: newest -> oldest -> newest... Just a suggestion, haha.
