I'm getting 2008 vibes. Hope for a rock album in the vein of Guilty in the future

Thinking about last upper from 1st chapter and sacrifice from 2nd chapter, I think 3rd chapter will be resurrection.

I thought the same today. A cross in this chapter wouldn't be a surprise given this scenario.

I think when it comes to the Rock n Roll Circus title it is all about your personal interpretation. I personally don't really understand it but it makes sense to Ayu and a lot of other fans in their own way. If I had to reach for it's meaning I would say that the Rock n Roll refers to Ayu's personal love for rock and in a way I see Ayu as a pop artist with the soul of a rock star. As for the Circus, it could be about her career and fame. Having the public standing there watching her every move and having expectations to be entertained and passing judgement on her.
I also didn't like when Ayu did the whole crucifixion thing. It just felt embarrassing because to me it feels like a straight up copycat of Madonna who did it recently before Ayu did. Also, religion aside Jesus was in fact a real person on this Earth in history.

I like the crucifixion performance but now it would be repetitive, I would like a satanic sacrifice :)

Uh-oh, this sounds legit. I am not against a crucifixion-performance, allthough it sounds so passé. Curious to see what's gonna happen.

It's extremely high pitched for her to be able to do well now imo; but hey, give it a shot? Maybe change the key, arrangement et cetera. Lots of rock songs in the setlist would be great, although I could do without Because of You (vocally, she has been struggling with this one for a long time now) and 1 Love, though I love it has been done to death. Let's get songs like Liar, Criminal, alterna, end of the world, Still Alone, Far Away et cetera some play from her lesser known rock song catelog.

And yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all if chapter 3 is resurrection. lol. These all fit with the theme that's been in her career since at least "M" or really from Duty onward.

I'd be pretty happy with any setlist changes at this stage, even though I've never seen Ourselves live and would love to. I hope the addition of Love song at Osaka's last date remains!! Going to the Fukuoka shows in a bit over a week, excited!!

alterna, please!

And I believe the first time she used ressurection as a concept was during the opening of the Concert Tours, the coffin one, wasn't it?

Yes she goes in a coffin during CT2000 and pops out on the stage in a new costume. She brings the coffin back in a-nation 2010 for Microphone, where she emerges from the coffin

She had too many performances with cross before. I'm sure this time it will be something different.

So are Microphone and 1 LOVE basically confirmed for sacrifice?

I feel she'll probably keep the table but replace ourselves with Microphone and change how that performance works.

I think she will. But maybe not from the first day. I belive new song fits her mood and tour theme the most

I don't want to create a lot of expectation about the second chapter and then it's just similar to act 1. But I'm loving the theme.

Im curious for the setlist with this "dramatic" title. As im not into the first chapter, i wonder what will this second chapter offer us, something new? Interesting? Nice outfits maybe?

p/s: also praying for this short hair era to past quickly lol, dont like this look much

Somehow I think the song might even be called sacrifice.:rolleyes

I also prefer when she has long dark hair!

Don't be rude and don't forget that we are different. No matter if we believe in god or not, everyone deserve respect.

i think chapter 2 wont have a huge change in setlist. 20th anniversary is just next year, she must be saving it for next year.

I think the same. Maybe she will change a few songs.
