Omg so Lady Dynamite will be rock after all. :heart

LOL me too! :laugh

I'm wondering if by "swing" they mean in the Circus-theatrical kind of sense? I'm so intrigued by this album.

Im excited for Sexy Little thing cause its the only pv we dont know anything about it?:D Or I am lost in ViVi/TeamAyu photos... :D

^ One page of Deji Deji was about it, I'll try to find it.

I reaaaalllllly hope that jump! And montage are the only interludes...

^the PV photos are out for a long time already. Its edgy and fierce.

WHATT count down is a full track?! omg..that means 8 new tracks (incl. RED LINE album ver.)..lol..it occured to no one that rock ballads can fill in the gap...lol..i case having lower cases dont mean anything now
I get this feeling that montage is an interlude now..because to wait till Jump! for a second interlude would be really long..and it makes the second half of the album seem short

(Misa-chan scanlation)

I think it's not possible... Look at the description : "there are 12 songs with lyrics, and there will be 12 sheets for each song put in 12 different albums"

15-12=3, so I guess there will be at least 3 interludes :no

I think they meant, not including the intro. :)

count down is not an interlude?

Hmm.. maybe she'll have 2 interludes this time..
It could be true. She'll have 12 lyric sheets, so probably 12 full songs.. but maybe RED LINE won't have lyrics, since it didn't have lyrics on the single either. So that would make 13 full songs + 2 interludes.

I'll keep hoping, but even if she'll have 3 interludes I won't be disappointed cause no album with Microphone on it can disappoint me now!! Even if she'll have 6 interludes :laugh

I wasn't counting THE introduction... Introductions =/= interludes

i'm so happy countdown is a full song
now those few people feel stupid now, the ones being rude or extra to everyone just because they didn't believe the "album pattern of lower case" or whatever it was

but anyways, I REALLY BELIEVE "THE introduction" won't have lyrics now =]

this is such a shock LOL i say after Ti, montage and Jump! i hope, meaning of Love just NEEEDS to be a full song T......T

I agree. meaning of Love has such potential to be a beautiful song. I really hope it isn't an interlude.:yes

agreed x1000%

so annoying when people try to base everything she does off a pattern lol

I don't read through all the pages..
but do you guys hear the elephant in Microphone?
Elephant = circus. XD
That's so funny, seriously a win! :laugh

Oh sorry I didn't get that ><
Welll, hopefully you're right !

We have seen the lyric sheet for RED LINE though... she's gonna have 12; currently we have as confirmed:

Sunrise
Sunset
You were...
BALLAD
RED LINE
Microphone
Sexy little things
Lady Dynamite
Don't look back
count down
Last Links

which is 11. 1 more full song... and we have

THE introduction
montage
Jump!
meaning of Love

one of them is gonna be a full song... what if it's THE introduction LOL

I think that maybe Jump! or montage have chances to not be interludes since it's like interlude-full song-interlude and it only happened with Marionette in GUILTY but then the interlude before that was Marionette -prelude- so she might not do such a thing again...

Though meaning of Love sounds like a title of a full song the most lol.

Go figure which one of them will be full. xD

I don't think that THE introduction is a part of the 12 pages lyrics since I doubt that she would like to bestow someone with such a short lyrics (if it has any) while others have full pages of lyrics of a song and maybe its lyrics (if it has) won't be even in the booklet.

So there should be 3 interludes in total in the album.

aww yeah, i was thinking it's for microphone also (same dress in the top) but i forgot to read the blue box :)

I'm also happy count down is a full song, to me it was kinda expected as i thought it would be weird with an interlude after only one song (assuming that THE introduction wont be a full song).

Lol, Right now i think that Jump! will be one of the interlude^^ ( mostly because of the bunnyear-pictures ayu posted :P)

But, still, I have no way of knowing anything about RnRC's music(and because of that, the antisipation for the album is killing me xD).

^ oooh I completely forgot the RED LINE sheet, of course.


I'd lol so hard of THE introduction turns out to be a full song!! :laugh

but my bet goes to meaning of Love :)

I don't really want a full song called jump! Lol
besides...after all the ballads/mid tempo tracks, it's time to jump! To the upbeat songs lol

meaning of Love might be an interlude to link Sunrise (upbeat) to You were... (ballad), but we can end up with some Close to you/Days kinda song for that...

If montage were an interlude, then it would serve as an interlude to link Last Links (ballad) to Don't look back (odd genre)... for Jump! it would be from Don't look back to Lady Dynamite. hmmm....

I guess either montage or Jump! would be an interlude cos Don't look back isn't rock, pop or ballady... it's just more like Arabian and its own genre; like GREEN in NEXT LEVEL.

But I really don't know. This album has broken all the "patterns" Ayu used to have; 14-tracks, 4 interludes... all broken, so this is just unpredictable! And I'm excited for that!

Btw, NEXT LEVEL is also a song that is sandwiched between 2 interludes; Bridge to the sky - NEXT LEVEL - Disco-munication. Maybe we would have Don't look back being our new meat for an interlude sandwich. xD

yeah.. RED LINE is in the 12 handritten lyrics thing...

so... 15-12= 3 with no lyrics... Then we have to hope The introduction has No lyrics or, if it has lyrics, that they didn't put them on the 12 handwritten lyrics... so we sould have 1 intro and 2 interludes...

I also have the opinion that "meaning of Love" has a very full song look for me... and NOW we can't trust anymore in the "oh after Sunrise there has to be an interlude to go to You were..." Cause it was the same thought with Microphone -> Sunset, that countdown had to be an interlude for sure...

Even though if "meaning of Love" is a full song then we will have montage (int) - DLB - Jump! (int)... we have had 2 times already a song between interludes (marionette predude - marionette - judgement, and bridge - next level - discomunication), but somehow it feels weird to have both interludes in the middle of the album...


well... we can only wait and see... *-*

Yep, interludes don't have to be transitions. ^^

Maybe next week there will be 4 more chaku utas?

Unless if they will just release the rest at the week of the album. >_>

I don't think that we have to follow by the patterns. Every album is like a new story, even though "14 songs + 3/4 interludes" style was happened very often... Wait and see.

I have a strong feeling that Jump! is an interlude... But I'm not good at predictions :laugh

I'm gonna take a guess and say the interludes would be

THE introduction
montage
Jump!

cos seriously if THE introduction had lyrics and is part of the 12-lyric sheet thing... and I got it, I'm gonna go onto TA and write to Ayu

"wtf Ayu."

and then she'll be like

"be glad okay you saved my hand okay! I only had 2 lines to write for this one muhahaha"

I agree, there are already enough ballads/slower tracks.
But I'm curious how count down will sound. Or Lady Dynamite!
A mixture of pop and swing... seems to fit great to the PV.

so for now things are like this:

Full Songs
Can be interlude/intro

01.THE introduction
02.Microphone
03.count down
04.Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～
05.BALLAD
06.Last Links
07.montage
08.Don't look back
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]


It's good to see the tracklist liek this... vI can have a better idea... They way ayu make the tracklist has to follow also a kind of stetic LOL

for example...

If montage ins't an interlude the first part is TOO long... So... I think that montage will be an interlude... yeah...

But making meaning of Love full track it doesn't look weird to have 2 interludes in the center... making Jump! full track also looks good...

so after aking this LOL I'm sure montage has to be an interlude... and my doubt is with Jump! and meaning of Love.... though I would prefer meaning of Love to be a full song instead of Jump! ^^ Though it's true what someone has said... there's a lot of ballads/mid tempo... so maybe Jump! is full song... arg... XD

Ooh, nice conclusion! :laugh But yeah now that you said it, that seems very possible. ^^

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I really hope THE introduction would be really THE introduction to the Rock 'n' Roll Circus... like a cool rock guitar solo as a foreground, and then we would have random lion roars, trumpets imitating elephants, saxophone trills, cowbells and all the boing-y effects... omg <3

agreed :yes but doesnt she usually have very short lyrics for the first song of the album

count down is a full song? o__o Wow, I'm really curious to hear how it can possibly fit between Microphone and Sunset. o____o;;

maybe so "la la la"s or...

"It's Ayu, *****."

:laugh

I hope "meaning of love" will be a full song... and hope, it will be a ballad. (^.^)

I hope it isn't a full Song.
We already have sooooooo many Ballads and calm Songs on the Album...
I hope Jump! is a cute full poppy Song like HONEY or Replace

I really really love Microphone! I've listened it for about fifty times now. :D Ayu's rock songs have always been my favorites. I can't wait to see the PV.

Sweet :D I called count down being a rock ballad when the tracklist came out <3

Maybe there are only 12 lyrics tracks, but it doesn't mean that there are only 12 songs with lyrics?

I Totally agree with this, when i first saw the tracklist i was really hoping that Jump! would be a full song, i still have my fingers crossed

I will NOT listen to "Microphone"! I will NOT listen to "Microphone"!
I will NOT listen to the new songs or watch any new PVs!
I will NOT listen to the new songs or watch any new PVs until I get my copy of Ayu's new album!

These three sentences are going to be my mantra for the next few weeks!

Wahhhh, WHY is this always so difficult??

And how about Last Links? I hope that montage will be afull pop song. but i don't think that will be true. It would be awsome if all the new song are full song. and all the 12 handwritten thing are just from all the new song icludeng sunset and sunrise?

I have a doubt.

12 are not the full tracks, 12 are the copies of the handwritten lyrics of RED LINE.
She only rewrote RED LINE.

Who said that the full tracks are 12?

original: Kagome-chan
12 are not the full tracks
, 12 are the copies of the handwritten lyrics of RED LINE.
She only rewrote RED LINE.

Who said that the full tracks are 12?


Yes that could be true, and hope it! how does onyone know that the handwrittenlyrics are from other song? and how go you now it is from olny red-line? Ihope that Montage will be a pop song like miss understood or more like evolution:)

From Japanese BBS. The ○'s are parts that aren't clear to the listener.

Positive feedback from people on 2ch it seems. I see the word "burikko" being used for "Sexy little things" - looks like a cutesy song?

The Microphone is the way she can convey her thoughts, and it's her way to access music. Without the microphone, she cannot make music, and cannot do the thing she loves.

It's a metaphor of course for music in general, but also talking about the Microphone... the lyrics in Japanese really fit this kind of thinking, I think. Of course, she can see a microphone, which fits with the line "don't come into my sight again."
The lyrics to me are very interesting, especially because they seem really really personal. She is using atashi a LOT, rather than boku.

遠くから聞こえてきているわ
もうすぐで
ほら終わりが始まる
真っ直ぐに受け止めて行くわ
あたしのこの左側で
同情なんかはいらないわ

I can hear something in the distance,
Soon now,
The end will begin.
I'll continue taking in everything directly.
I don't need any simpathy for my
Left side.

I think she is talking about her ear, because her ear is the left side...
I could be wrong about that...

悪いけど黙っててくれる？
あたしたちの声が聞こえない
どうしたの 喋りたいんなら
周り○○○○ボウヤたち

This is wrong, but will you shut up?
I can't hear our voices.
What happened? If you really wanna talk,
Surrounding*** (I don't know what it means, I will need full lyric ones)

女はいつも何も知らなくって
不安でひとりで
頷いてるだけだって
思っているのは
それは大きな間違い
だってあなたは○○○○○
ウゥー イェィー～

To think that
Woman don't know anything,
And they are always alone, uneasy,
And always nodding their heads
That is a really big mistake.
But, you are *******
Uuuuu, Yaaay!

burikko means an older woman who's behaving like a girl am I right? Not sure if that's a compliment or insult to Ayu...

Who said that there will only be sheets for Red Line O.o
There will be a 1 sheet for each of the 12 songs on the album that have Lyrics.

It's because the only released image of the lyric sheets was of RED LINE, I guess? However, it is explicitly stated at the official site that the 12 sheets come from the 12 songs on the album.

Interesting that the BBS is already talking about them!

It just means someone who is acting disgustingly cute.

ouch. lol... guess AHS is gonna love Sexy little things then. :mischief

Sexy little things lyrics part is... hmmm... a bit odd. Smells like Real me/my name's WOMEN ~episode II~, but there is sorta other feeling... And if it's really "cutesy" song, I'm starting to be afraid xDD

No, there are 12 sheets of 12 different songs. It's what they say in the site, if not, they would have stated "there will be 12 sheets of RED LINE lyrics handwritten" instead.

so from that we are sure that there are 12 full tracks, because we think that, in the case "THE introduction" has lyrics, she won't write them because they may be too short (Not yet and Bridge to the Sky weren't on the booklet)

yeah... we take for granted that because they give 12 lyrics sheets there are only 12 full songs with lyrics... but maybe there are more and Ayu didn't wanted to write them... IDK... XD

I think it wouldn't fit there... XD only if it was before/after Sunrise... but between Don't look back (mid-tempo arabian song) and Lady Dinamite (Rock song)... no XD Thouhg if it's a full song it looks like sth similar to Himming... rockish funny song... hmmm...

Oh ok, sorry I misunderstood >o<

Thanks maikaru for translating those lyric parts. I really like them all, especially count down and the "I don't need sympathy for my left side" if she is really refering to her ear. I haven't even heard the songs yet, but at least the lyrics seem to be really good. (I wonder if everything will be on Microphone level, or at least very close)

Wow the lyrics!!

countdown sounds soooo cool!! and lady dinamite sounds strange LOL agresive,a nd sexy little things... this is the swing pop song? so... it's a cute song... the "burikko" thing is a comment from someone? it's good or bad? LOL maybe now I understand Sunrise after this one... SLT may be a good transition from rock Lady Dinamite to Sunrise... hehe

In short time those previews will leak and it's time to say bye bye or I'll download them... NO~ NO~ NO~♪

omg those little lyrics are so... omg so different... oh gosh, the lyrics this time are really personal I guess... the MY STORY vibes is getting stronger... <3

there may be another song that she excludes the lyrics too in the album and didn't write them for that reason?

I would find it odd for sexy little things to be a cute pop song when the PV looks nothing like it's going to be cutesy... unless it's supposed to be contrasting...
I can't wait to hear these songs!

The "burikko" part of Sexy little things sounds sarcastic. I'm really hoping the lyrics and music is meant to be ironic because it just sounds more like Silly little thing.

WOW, just WOW! *.*
The lyrics are amazing!!

VERY personal, angry, mature, outspoken and sad, somehow! This is just getting better and better every minute!
I really can't wait to hear all the new songs and watch all the new PVs.

Ayu's words mean SO much to me!
She is a genius when it comes to writing lyrics! <3

Yeay! I've been sure countdown was a full song! montage screams interlude for me. So I think meaning of Love will be the last one.
Uuugh! I wanna listen the ringtones now!

The Sexy little things lyrics just sound like a my name's WOMEN part 2... what's so silly about it? Haha.

count down being a full song doesn't bode well for montage/Jump!/meaning of Love... haha.

count down is a full long!!! now that was a SHOCK! xD and a rock ballad YES!!!


Im hoping for THE introduction, montage and Jump! are the only inteludes (also hoping the introduction to have a few words like "not yet" from Secret)

I want THE introduction to really play with the organs they should have made more use of in Microphone <3 something epic like the overture for Phantom of the Opera <3

^ :D


My gosh, count down was the one I was CERTAIN was an interlude, hah! XP
All the song descriptions and lyrics sound really interesting--I'm incredibly excited for the album now!! ^,^

Many thanks to all of you who provided info on the last few pages (lyrics, song descriptions, etc.). :)

Someone at the same BBS tried to fill in the blanks with what they heard from the songs....

Lady Dynamite:
悪いけど黙っててくれる？
あたしたちの声が聞こえない
どうしたの 喋りたいんなら
周り回れ右行ってねボウヤたち

Sexy little things:
女はいつも何も知らなくって
不安でひとりで
頷いてるだけだって
思っているのは
それは大きな間違い
だってあなたはこの掌(てのひら)の上
ウゥー イェィー～

Attempting to insert a translation into the maikaru translation:
This is wrong, but will you shut up?
I can't hear our voices.
What happened? If you really wanna talk,
Surrounded by about-faced BOUYA-tachi (bouya = boys?)

To think that
Woman don't know anything,
And they are always alone, uneasy,
And always nodding their heads
That is a really big mistake.
But, you are in the palm of my hand
Uuuuu, Yaaay!

I second that. Love the organs.

BALLAD and you where.. + count down as rock ballad that's enough ballads for meh.
Let's be JUMP! something like July 1st or STEP you. Last Links let's be like uhm, Moments.

Amen. I ALWAYS HAVE RIGHT XD

+ please no BRU BIRDS, NEXTO REVER AND ANY glitter~like~beatifulfighter song. (although i love glitter.)

No cutesy song, please Ayu :(

ill drink for that.

The swing-pop Sexy little things has already gotten the burikko comments...

It's looking like it'll be a cutesy-ish number.

YOU GO, AYU. YOU GO, GIRL. (from mu-mo.net's real time ranking)
http://mu-mo.net/index.html

But it's diffrence between uber awesome July 1st or Beautiful Day (it's cutesy right?:D) than Blue Bird (which i dislike)...

I hope we get them soon :D I think I'm gonna save Lady Dynamite for the album, since it's the one that appeals to me most so far. But we'll see when we actually get them and what everyone's comments are

Hopefully someone will record the chaku-utas and we will get them soon...
Does anybody say wich Song sounds like a electro/dance Song?

.....

From an ameblo blog.

http://ameblo.jp/allayu365/entry-10489696361.html

"Sexy little things is Ayu with very cute voice! THIS IS ELECTRO, ne?"
"I really like count down and Lady Dynamite!"

Wasn't this supposed to be swing pop?

misa-chan~
Izette~

or everyone in Japan, please record the chaku-utas for US :D

maybe they dont really know what swing is? :D

They can name it like they want, but the real description comes when people hear it... So it might not be swing at all.

I don't think they mean the genre "swing"

I wouldn't expect Sexy little things to be cute, but omgg if it is then I'm so happy. I hope it's EnergizE part 2!

Perhaps, but if it sounds cute-electroswing.... I wonder how that sounds, haha.

The swing pop description came from the chaku uta site so.... -shrug-

About that swing description... I don't know anymore, haha. I would think that the Japanese would use swing in that sort of sense, but ehhhh.

there goes my hopes for AyuSka...

oh well, I hope it's still good :D

I don't think it should be
周り回れ右,
Just回れ右行
Because 周り and 回れ sound very similar, especially in low quality.
If it's true, and first mawari shouldn't be there,
Then it would mean like "Go now, you about faced boys!"

And Lady dynamite one is correct!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IqH3uliwJY

this is classy swing, wonder how that genre have anything with that ayu song...

i guess is time to ban this thread and the dl section for myself :laugh
i must resist the temptation to dl these new songs when they'll be aviable !!

or sth like the intro for Kiss o' kill in AT 07 *-* that was soo coool!!

^ yes, it will suit perfectly to Microphone then. :yes
(this reminds me of Marionette ~prelude~ and Marionette.)

but the PV shots we have seen so far doesn't fit with a cutesy song like EnergizE :no I want it to be something like Sparkle.. mmh

Actually, looking at more comments, Sexy little things is appearing to be a cute electro-ish song with cute vocals and "pico pico sounds" like EnergizE.... haha.

So it really might be EnergizE pt.II with women-empowering lyrics?

Oh please NOOOOOOO EnergizE partII...I hate EnergizE

^ same. :tired

Thank god, I was afraid this album might not have any new cute songs :/ I really want to hear it now!

I don't mind a cute song but Sexy Little Things sounded more of a rockish-girl power song.

I just dont want any song like (except Sparkle, Curtain Call and GREEN) any from NL cause there was a lot of songs that COULD been awesome, but there was something that ruined it...

idk, i love cutesy songs from ayu. i won't assume anything until i hear it myself.

I pray Sexy little things isn't a cutesy song. I hate cutesy songs. xD I get a "Sparkle" type vibe from Lady Dynamite. I think Sexy little things will end up more like Sparkle as well, judging from the caps from the PV. Could that really be a cutesy PV? I'd be hard pressed to believe so...

I'm still shocked count down is a full song. haha I thought for sure it'd be an interlude. I hope it's an awesome rock ballad. :heart

I remember reading some comments on 2ch that the Sexy little things PV (or the caps in ViVi, rather) doesn't seem to match the song very much.

^ it's almost confirmed then, that Slt is gonna be a cutesy tune.. -cries-

I have faith in Lady Dynamite though :luv2

Sexy little things is probably one of those "Oh, women can be CUTE and FIERCE kind of things..."

But then what's the backing band from Microphone doing in the PV then? Haha.

It's not like you don't praise kuu when she releases a cute song :P

that's a double standart -_-.

I wonder how the songs are like.
