OMG I think it'll be also the album title.
Kinda 'original', but Ayu's creativity isn't always "very cool"... I don't like it. :no

Why do you say it sounds britney? because of the word "circus"? ._. oh, c'mon...I personally like the title, and I hope it will be surprising and amusing!

Ayu has clowns during the medley in STADIUM TOUR as well.

Looking forward to this tour. :)

Please! When Ayu started using clowns Britney still was virgin xD

omg!! i don't mind the name of the theme is the same as others..
but it's really a new things for ayu!! new ayu!! loooooking forward!

lol!! now that is something i totally wasn't expecting when watching CDL09-10.

I hope Rock'n'Roll promises cool, and Circus promises fun.

Looking all the more forward to the concert!! :D

omg, best quote eveeeer!! :mischief

The title sounds AWESOME! I love (!!) the circus...!

Can't wait until we hear some more news!

I'm sure, the tour this year will be great! <3

why does everyone now uses a circus theme? :/
Kuu, Britney, Anna Tsuchiya,..

I kinda like the title. I just don't like how it seems like a borrowed idea because of Kumi, Britney, and Pink has seemed to use it already. But it's okay, it's Ayumi so I forgive her <3 I just hope there aren't many clowns.

<--is scared of clowns and hates the circus

I just really really really really HOPE she isn't dressed up as a clown on the cover of the album ;_;

Maybe she'll be dressed up as a lion tamer :D

CIRCUS, is that the album name, it's sounded quite cool. But it isn't sounded unique.

I can totally imagine WONDERLAND opening (or at least being part of) the concert! I always wished for a PV for WONDERLAND, she didn't do that song justice in AT05.

Well, the title is not Circus (and kuu had no album named Circus), it has Rock'n'Roll in it which changes the whole picture and if it's borrowed from anything then it's from The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. =P

^Yeah WONDERLAND would soooo fit into this album XDD

Oh my god I can already imagine it!
The Tour opening will be (indeed) WONDERLAND, and then the first songs she sings Alterna! :D yes please!! I love this theme!!

However, as an Album title it's completely unacceptable so I hope that'll be something different.

Trends... Most of the time, when several artists use the same theme, they are not coping each other, it's just something that it`s "in" at the moment...

Still, Circus is something recorrent for Ayu (Circus and Militar, she is always using those...)

AHS CRASH IN 3...2...1.

Oh, alterna would be epic, for sure. What about Dolls? I thought the opening has a creepy vibe. Creepy = Circus, to me. Liar as well, omg.

EH? Rock'n'Roll Circus would be a great album name

I'm really excited now :P Sounds like this tour might be totally amazing :D I wonder if she'll use a circus inspired stage... Maybe thats what she meant but a new design in her blog

Also, Circus is nothing to do with Britney Spears. As mentioned on the previous pages Circus has been the title for loads of things. Obviously if she called it the 'Oops I did it again' tour then I'd have some questions

Whoooa O__O This is really different for Ayu, but exciting. I can't wait for this tour, I just hope it doesn't include her butchering a bunch of her rock songs a la About you/Because of You @ CDL 09-10. If this tour is really gonna have a rock focus, I think she's gonna need to really rest up her voice before AND after the tour >.<

Also, is it just me or does alterna come to mind? XD I mean, that entire PV was pretty much a Rock'n'Roll circus, I wonder if it'll be performed.

Oh, you think so? :)

I can imagine why you like the title, but to me it's not a title for an album. Since an album simply can't be a circus xD Like.. it's just strange! For a tour it's an amazing name and I love it, but it's just a strange album title in my ears.

(Especially since it'll have Sunrise, Sunset, You were... and BALLAD on it. And even Microphone doesn't sound that Circus-ish to me, but I can't really judge yet)

but to each their opinion of course :)

Female pop singers that released circus themed stuff:

Madonna
Cher
Britney Spears
Christina Aguilera
P!nk
Mylene Farmer
Nancy Ajram
Koda Kumi

...
those r the ones I know... yeah, not a new theme at all...
