If the info comes from TeamAyu should be true 100% ^^
aura, check TA right now pleaseeee!!!!!!
still awake? :D

Just because someone says something is from TeamAyu doesn't mean that they got it from there, haha.

Hmm, I wouldn't mind that to be true. LOLIPOP might just be a typo. I remember when GUILTY came out 'The Judgement Day' was spelt 'The Judgment Day'. And Koda Kumi's stuff has typos all the time lol

I'd laugh my ass off if the song was about LOLIPOP lol ayu using terms like LOL, OMG and ROFL :P I'd love it lol

also looking at it, You were... and BALLAD are in seperate brackets, but Sunrise/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ is in one

^probably just easier than writing 「Sunrise~LOVE is ALL~ 」「Sunset~LOVE is ALL~ 」

Yeah. There's no real point in typing the LOVE is ALL twice.

The official site listed S/S as Sunrise/Sunset with a LOVE is ALL under it.

Not TA, false... yeah jorge, I was watching a concert, I can't sleep XD

well,,, saying it's from TA means the website, there's nothing on TA... or you mean that someone INSIDE TA could say it?

:(

^awh

I was kinda hoping that'd be true...

I actually do expect 12 new tracks though.

A 16 track album is what we're at least getting imo.

^yeah.. should be like that... then 1 intro 2 interludes and there's still 9 new songs, that's so good for me ^^

The fact that they wrote LOLIPOP... it's like they came with the title only because of ayu's pic with chupachups... but if it's true I'll LOL a lot XD

「Sunrise/Sunset~LOVE is ALL~ 」「You were... 」「BALLAD」新曲は「Mircophone」「 Sexy little things」「 Don't look back 」「LOLIPOP」その他共计16曲！

ayumi hamasaki NEW ALBUM『Circus』04.14 IN STORES
-----------
That's a fake one
they said lolipop=lollipop (someone translated as lolita+pop):innocent
if any news comes from here
http://tieba.baidu.com/f?ct=&tn=&rn=...d=oricon&tb=on
It must be a fake one
you needn't believe that.
They are full of imagination.they're crazy and abnormal.
And only ayubar is a fansite http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=ayu :o

^^anyone else notice that microphone is also spelled incorrectly? haha

ahh thank you much for (once again) F5-ing on TA aura-chan ! !

I can't sleep either xD guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow (deadline for announcing?) or maybe this afternoon, now in Japan is 12:14 PM

They haven't got any official news and can only get information from AC/AMF/AHS/avex.jp/ayubar/TA/2ch etc.
So if you check their fake info. sincerely you will find it is their own imagination.
:D

about the release date... maybe she releases after the tour starts for people do legal downloads... I think that's it's possible... because ayu sells good, but not that good online... I'm remmembering about TW... she sells a lot of downloads, because the song didn't have a physical CD...

LOL just read the latest rumour in Baidu..

Someone please check the source since I'm not a member: http://www.ayuchina.com/bbs/thread-132600-1-1.html

Well I don't believe it anyway :p "Sexy" in a song title is okay, but "Sex"? That's a completely different word! It sounds like a porn movie, I'm not believing it.

But it's lulzy :P

why do people always read the fake one?
remember
http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=oricon
this is a fake one --------it has nothing to do with ayu
and Baidu has nothing to do with ayu too!!!
only ayubar is related to ayu

浜崎あゆみ11TH AL『Sex in Circus』4.14 --------fake
in AC thread
temporary(仮)
Circus

TW = together when.

Well, considering she's been doing great digitally recently...

Looking at the possile tracks and the listing, its a 50/50 chance to be so true.
Sunset as the closing track is kinda off, maybe there's a really good ballad that im hoping to be in it.

waaa, what I'm gonna do without my dear anticipation thread! xDD

LOL ayu better announce it befor saturday!!

The chances of that track-list being true are = 0%. We've already discovered it was yet another hoax of Maxker's ^^

whenever I see "Circus" anywhere in the album title, I know it's fake by default. :rolleyes

romour thread always interesting to read

player sounds so capsule :laugh

anyway, i highly doubt this will be the tracklist, i really like the title dead moon, sounds so mystic and surreal

AyuChina seem to have the album title.

Google translation

But unfortunately this news is protected, you need to have a rank = 20. If someone has this rank here...

A few people do. C'mon guys I wanna know! :D

takeeee it eeeasy lalala so beautiful!

lol

I guess there is just a couple of hours left now xD

:( Yeah, AyuChina tells me I need to be some top-ranking member as well... well, at least in another thread it says that the album will be released on 4/14. It's posted by some user called Haru, apparently it's reliable.

Google Translation:
Reportedly called the Circus
Tentative
I changed the blame


So not really something new, just specualtions...

I already forgot why we all think it will be Circus until I remebered the name of the tour XD

Someone needs to make another one!

Thanks!

But if it was only speculations I don't see why Haru would have protected it...
Anyway if it's true we'll have confirmation soon I hope!!!

^
^
this has become the new "antivcipation" thread! LOL

I think the title is inside that post, I've searched in google and the same characters appeared before post about you were, sunrise, next level, it meanse something like AYU EXCLUSIVE! and then it says, new album title...

so seems that they HAVE it, but of course... only someone with high rank can tell us..

I reaaaaally hope it does not end up being called Circus.

~angel*ayumi~ saw it, she told us a few posts above. She google translated it XD
According to AyuChina the new album is called Circus.


@~angel*ayumi~
BTW Google translation says "Reportedly called the Circus".
So is the album title "Circus" or "the Circus" according to AyuChina's original post?

she can see the post? well, for teh title of the thread and how they don't let everone ee it, seems like they are pretty sure...

Well... i don't wanna think of teh reaction here if it's called Circus XD

I know it's entirely possible, but I just have a hard time believing it. Circus just doesn't fit for me. It just seems so much less personal than a lot of her other titles.

Like "I am..." was a statement of who she is. Then she had a "memorial address," she was "(miss)understood," she had a "secret," she felt "guilty," and so on. Circus seems so unlike an ayumi album title.

That said if it's true I'm sure I'll get over my feelings on no time. Lol.

In my opinion titles like Secret or GUILTY are the most impersonal titles ever ! It's something like a commonplace which doesn't come FROM Ayu. At least, Circus would be an opportunity to create a themed album, just like NEXT LEVEL was, at least I think so...

I hope that the album is not called the Circus or Circus or something like that T___T

btw, since it's not official I can be happy and wait for a more original title xd

how stressful >_<

I'd rather "Circus" than "Rock 'n' roll Circus" for an album title :yes Circus is nice and plain and average, it's nothing embarrassing/cheesy like how "Rock 'n' roll Circus" sounds.

I don't know. Rock n' Roll Circus seems better in my mind than just plain old Circus. It has more substance to it--just 'Circus' is way more overused and boring.

We never know. Like Touchedstar said, she had a 'secret,' she felt 'guilty'... Now she's running a 'circus?' I have a hard time believing it.

EDIT: After some quick thought, there are some other theories that could fit with 'Circus.' Her life is like a Circus, just an act... Who knows. I still don't like it very much though. ^^;

I know she has good sells, but I don't now how much she sell online...

Every single one of her album titles expresses an abstract thing, a thought or a feeling. Well except RAINBOW, but even a rainbow isn't something you can touch (techinicaly it doesn't even exist cause it's just the light falling into your eye in a certain way)

So for an album to just be called Circus? Sounds far to common. For me, that doesn't sound like Ayu at all. But maybe she'll surprise me.

I really really don't want a album called Circus or Rock'n'Roll Circus or The Circus...

why is this the new anticipation thread? I thought that the anticipation threads made everything organized and made a nice little place so that the album anticpation didn't have to spill all over:D

Oh well.

Announcing this album would make this horrible day SO much better..

What if the album were called "Magic"? :laugh That sounds like a cool title, don't ya think?

The album name shouldn't be too far off from the tour name...I'm still betting on Rock 'n' Roll Circus as the album name.

because now we don't have a thread where we can comment like crazy about the new album... LOL I knew thsi woudl happen, I liked the anticipation thread... in NEWS there's only threads for ranking of Yw and others about the tour...

well... now let's go to "friday morning", and hope they will say sth, I hope the fact they updated thew site even if it was only for VIVI, mean a prelude for an announcement... XD

Me too <3 That means that they actually remembered "Oh hey, that's right there's a webiste to update" and hopeully there's more info to come <3

Even if it's just the date, and "Title to be revealed later" I'd be happy with official word, and preorders up :D

It's probably better off that the rumors thread is the place for this, since all that's posted in the anticipation thread really are unconfirmed rumors until we get real stuff. Plus the "spilling over" doesn't really happen... if there were no thread for people to talk in, imo, there wouldn't be any reason for people to talk! (meaning that the existence of the anticipation thread just kinda makes people feel like they have to post when they don't...)

even if its name is Circus for real you don't have to dislike it because Ayu won't change it anyway.. so I'm happy that she will bring another album out at all ^-^

i wouldnt mind an album with a circus theme. whatever ayu said some time ago in some magazine or interview or whatever about taking a new step in her career from everything including next level seems ot be a bit true.

and im liking it. . .but i REALLY need some info pronto

right man!
Seriously, who cares for the title? Ayus titles were never that creative to begin with and I never heard someone saying "wow this album has so good songs but i won´t dare listening to them because the title is so ****ing dumb"

I would still listen to the songs if her albums would be titled

A
B
C
D
E
F
G

:o

"I have a secret, you have a secret, we all have a secret right?"

The problem with this "circus theme" is.. where is it?

Seriously, Where is it? The pics from deji deji, the new lolipop (and more) pics in her blog.. none of that even resembles a circus. That's why I think the TOUR will have a Circus theme, but the album will have a different name since it's simply not circus-themed

(And obviously S/S and Yw/B aren't circus in the slightest)

where is the circus theme in Kuu's TRICK or Britney's Circus (except for show girl and Circus)? Maybe there'll be a track called Rock'n'Roll Circus..

^both had a circus themed cover and booklet ^^

the problem is that everyone focuses too much on "CIRCUS" and the tour titles is Rock 'n' Roll circus, is the Circus of Rock'n'Roll, the subject is ROCK, not CIRCUS, and for all pics we have seen and what ayu said in Deji deji about those PV, new song are ROCK themed...

ROOOOOOCK not CIRCUUUUUUS

thank you, that's exactly the point. the tour is a specific type of circus, a circus of rock and roll. It's not just any old circus

uhm Show Girl is Show Girl
those are in a night club, not a circus

and TRICK was MAGIC SHOW for the 10303837367 ****ing time, zelda-m is right!

But Britneys was Circus themed...at least the tour and the main track (but what more...the album Concept of K-Pop stars also only fits the main track XD)

Well, Circus does stand for open place as well, for British English, right? It may sound far-fetched, but the whole idea might be something like Rock n' Roll street or sth, specially considering Ayu's been in London lately, maybe she came up with it after Picadilly Circus and it has nothing to do with the circus spectacle :laugh

i like your idea! :yatta

Maybe it'll have a Roman or gladiator theme going on and the Circus will be like the Roman Circus Maximus! That could be cool. :heart

This is the best insight ever.

Seriously, I actually LOVE this title now.

8 AM~ ready for my hopes to be crushed again for the third week :D

lol wnated to tell the same
but is has to be t-day
otherwise I want to now her concept for the tour with the album beeing out later

@GRACE: Aaaww, you bring the bad luck!! xDDD

It's reverse psychology :D I do it with snow days, when I say there's not gonna be a snow day, there's a snow day. So I'm hoping it'll work for this :D even though it hasn't worked for the last two weeks

BUUUUUT~ NEXT LEVEL was announced 40 days before the release date. Today is 40 days till April 14th :D

Put our fingers crossed togeeeeeeeether~~~~dala dala dala xD

^LOOL

I'm ready too XD please..

someone know if the announcements were on mornings?? because even id it's not know.. there's a chance for friday's night...

please T____T it has to be today!

Don't worry! As I said, I'm SURE we will have something today! (-________________-)

NEXT LEVEL was a friday morning, but that's the only one I know off the top of my head x_x

I hope it's today <3

Mmmh... I think Ayumisrael said previously that there is also announcements in the afternoon (?)

^yeah, and I hope so.. becaus eif we don't get something now (japans morning, we can still hope for the afternoon ^^

I suppose we could get anything during the whole day. I hope we get it soon :D

A new day has begun......
Ok I'm ready too! I'll not sleep again because of anxiety >_>
I don't see where is the problem to announce it, even if is not completed yet.

Usually we get the info when in Japan is evening (when in my country is morning 10-12 am)..or not?

For exemple in a forum with my local time I saw:
Rule/Sparkle 13/1/2009, 11:30
Sunrise/Sunset 29/6/2009, 11:01
NEXT LEVEL 13/2/2009, 10:21
A COMPLETE 24/7/2008, 11:33

^Now it's 12,35 both in spain and Italy, this means 8:35am japan... if it's around 10-11 am in japan, it means 2-3 am here ^^

Uhm no...I mean, when in our countries is morning (10-12 a.m) and in Japan is evening.
I made a speculation looking at the times when they opened the topics.

aah, ok, when they opened it in your forum!! Well.. NEXT LEVEL was posted here on morning (japan time), so the info arrived later to your forum due to the different hour ^^

TODAY TODAY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please God! I've never prayed so hard in my life!!!! xD;

^
lol this :roflmao

My fingers are still crossed from last week... please, just let it end now :P

We'll probably not get it this week... maybe next week when the LIVE PHOTO BOOK drops?

I get this feeling too, but not because of the photo book, but because avex HATES us so much and loves torturing us

God, I sure hope so! I can't take this any longer X__________X

I have no hope for today. :( But I do NOT want to wait another week. *sigh*

At least I live in a good time zone for this kind of thing. I've only gotta be anxious for a few hours and then if there's nothing, it'll definitely be there when I wake up if it gets announced. xD

New Album Title & Release Date
 

As informed by someone nicknamed "haru" from Ayuchina's forum & admitted himself/herself as a staff of Ayu, the new album title is "Rock'n'Roll Circus" and to be released on 14th April 2010 (Wednesday). It's kinda weird as the release date is later than the tour date? How far is it true?

thats great.at least we have the title and the release date.so,the pre-order will start soon!i need the cover :P

Well, evidently it's not a serious source, and the title isn't hard to predict, so nothing confirmed so far... But thanks for sharing!

thanks for posting

just the fact that they say it'll be released after the first tour date is weird
so I doubt this is true
but thanks for sharing

i'm upset enough...I don't need false news! This should be in the rumors thread, right?

I believe this info is correct, but still not official...

I'm not sure about the title, I've heard many people talk about rumour April 14 Ayu will release the new album xD
If the date is true, then surely Ayu will announce it soon. Well, let's wait and see..

well... it's not official yet..

but if it's true he's ayu staff... XD I don't think he will keep being part of it after that XDDD

^haha true
but if he leaked the info, he is probably about to announce it
and if I think about it
AC often ahs the CDs first...why not one of the staff members or have you another logical explenation fot that?

I don't know....I'm just gonna wait lol.

agree :)

at first, i thought it was actually OFFICIAL news....:dead2
