And all that based on a tour name..it was the same back when she named BALLAD and coincidentally alan fans were all like "OMG Ayu has the same song title as alan" - so what? It's just a freaking name, no one owns it and she wasn't the first person nor the last one to use it.

some people should seriously grow up already.
I agree so much. Why suddenly so many seem to turn a blind eye to the fact that Ayu has always used circus theme/elements from it since the first years of her career. Seriously I'm so sick of this "Microphone omg that's like a total Telephone and Video Phone rip off! ...Circus?!? Ayu tries to be Britney eh".

BUT OMG I LOVE THIS TITLE!!! People are going to compare the whole circus thing to Britney mostly probably, but it's a hugely common theme that's been done so many times throughout the years. Plus, when I look at the title, I don't think of the average "circus" (elephants, clowns, monkeys, popcorn, etc.), I think of this rock'n'roll extravaganza.
Exactly. I think it's so much more likely she was inspired by Rolling Stones, she's been into 60's-80's british rock and punk lately it seems.
