"Reconstruction" of ayu's albums!

Surreal17 · #1 6th June 2014, 12:15 PM

HI GUYS!

Like I've already mentioned in the title, the main purpose of this thread is to "rebuild" ayu's discography! You can come up with any of her albums!
Put your imagination to work!

Let's take for example Rock'n'Roll Circus (this will be my example). Ayu wanted to make a conceptual album with this album but has she managed entirely? As much as I love the album, my opinion is that she DIDN'T. I mean... she wanted to make a multi genred album with experiments such as Sexy Little Things, Dont Look Back and a whole bunch but she included Sunrise, Sunset, meaning of love??? She kinda ruined the concept of circus by adding these jpop ballads/uptempo.

So, I've decided to change my ayu discography to fit my tastes.

Rock'n'Roll Circus ~Concept 2014 Ver.~ Tracklist:

1.Introduction
2.Microphone
3.countdown
4.Dark Side (Interlude) - this is a short piece of music from Naruto Shippuden Road Of Ninja OST that fits perfectly with the creepy theme of Rock'n'Roll Circus. After the explosive rock session we enter the quiet part of the album
5.You were... (Music Box Mix - retake version-)
6.BALLAD
7.montage
8.Last Links
9.Goblin (Arabesque/Oriental Interlude) - this is a 2 minutes piece of music from the "Great Wall My Love" 2011 Chinese Movie OST. Serves as introduction to "Don't Look Back"
10.Don't look back
11.Lady Dynamite
12.Jump
13.Sexy Little Things
bonus - 14.Don't look back (Reggae Disco Rockers remix)

I know it's quite shorter with only 8 full songs (9 with the bonus) but the flow is great and it really keeps the main theme of the album.
The two new interludes are used mainly for the album's flow. If u like the idea I can provide the interludes.

WAITING FOR YOUR IDEAS!!!

Good idea adding Tell All & My Way! I'm also going to add them..I mean, why not? Tell all works really well with NOW & 4EVA and My Way also fits on the album.

hm...this seems interesting. Let me try.

Quote:

I know this is a big post. I guess I really got into it so here is the too long/didn't read version

01. Take off all the ballads from Next Level and Rock n Roll Circus and put them together to make 'A Ballads 2'
02. Put Rule on RnRC since it fits better
03. Replace Days with its 8-bit of tears Remix since it fits the theme better

Rock 'n' Roll Circus always seemed messy to me. I mean we got Sunrise, Sunset, You were..., and BALLAD. Three ballads and a summer pop song for singles, and then find out the new album is called "Rock 'n' Roll Circus"? What the hell?

Same with NEXT LEVEL. She had that cool 8-bit electronic sound going on with rollin' and identity, and that awesome 8-bit of tears remix for Days, and even the covers followed that theme pretty well. The title itself sounds like it's referring to a video game with powering up and leveling up. However, in the end "NEXT LEVEL" ends up being an upbeat ballad, and the rest of the album is filled with songs like Days, Green, Curtain call, and Rule. A heavy rock song, and a bunch of ballads?

So this is what I'd do.

Quote:

NEXT LEVEL
01. Disco-munication
02. EnergizE
03. Sparkle
04. rollin'
05. Load of the SHUGYO
06. identity
07. LOVE 'n' HATE
08. Pieces of SEVEN
-bonus track-
09. Days (8-bits of tears YMCK remix)

Quote:

Rock 'n' Roll Circus
01. THE introduction
02. Microphone
03. count down
04. Rule
05. Last Links
06. montage
07. Don't look back
08. Jump!
09. Lady Dynamite
10. Sexy little things
11. Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
12. RED LINE ~for TA~ (album version)

I'd make NEXT LEVEL a mini album (mainly because I can only listen to the 8-bit sound for so long before I get a headache) with the remix of Days as a bonus track cause it fits the album so much better than the original. I'd also put RULE on RnRC for the same reason. It just fits better.

Then with the left over tracks I'd make another -a ballads- since I really feel like ballads don't work this time around with these two albums.

Quote:

A Ballads 2
01. Bridge to the sky
02. NEXT LEVEL
03. GREEN
04. Don't Look Back (HAL's Mix)
05. BALLAD
06. Days
07. Curtain call
08. It was (Island Mix)
09. meaning of love
10. JEWEL (Orchestra Version)
11. Last Links (Stripped down acoustic version)
12. Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~
13. You were...
14. Life ~Acoustic Version~

I missplaced Tell all with Hello new me (because it's a snoozefest) and both was released before the album, but Tell all it's just better

waterballoon · #8 7th June 2014, 02:52 PM

^ I REALLY LIKE THAT . amazing ideas and that cover wow

Sandy · #9 7th June 2014, 05:08 PM

So many of you have done NL and RnRC so I chose something else...

One of Ayu's weakest albums (as a whole, not songs) is RAINBOW. So I decided to take RAINBOW and Memorial address, take all the songs and make a whole new RAINBOW and Memorial address!!! Covers are remaning the same since I have no talent in that era xD

RAINBOW

Spoiler:

Memorial address

Spoiler:

I realise I left out ANGEL'S SONG which in my opinion can disappear from our memories and never come back.

orangeakira · #10 8th June 2014, 12:56 AM

^Wow, that's an interesting idea. I like it. I'd definitely buy RAINBOW if it was like that.

pepper · #11 8th June 2014, 11:13 AM

yeah, ANGEL's SONG is the weakest point in MA

Surreal17 · #12 8th June 2014, 11:27 AM

Memorial address

1.ANGEL'S SONG (less cute version or otherwise OUT)
2.Grateful Days
- theme of a-nation intro- (studio version from Countdown Live 2005-2006)
3.theme of a-nation 2003
4.HANABI EPISODE II (Hal's Mix)
5.Forgiveness
6.Memorial Address

sora-kara · #13 13th June 2014, 07:25 PM

These are great! Looooove re-worked tracklists

Adding all of these to my itunes. ^-^

Here are a few of my own!

Remember when Secret was going to be a mini-album? I wanted to know what that min album was going to be like, so I made 2 separate albums based off the singles and the album tracks:

Spoiler:

RAINBOW has some incredible music on it, but I've always felt it is too long, and loses focus in the second half. There's not much different in my tracklist, it is just shorter, and has a nice cap on the end

Spoiler:

I also have a rock tracklist, but it is literally just ALL of her rock songs smashed together. HAHAHA

Secret was originally going to be a 7 track mini album, and coincidentally there are 7 music videos. So I believe that the original album would have been the songs that had videos.

01. Startin'
02. 1 Love
03. JEWEL
04. momentum
05. Born to Be...
06. Beautiful Fighters
07. BLUE BIRD

A very small addition. I want to add the studio version of haru yo koi to A Ballads. That would have made it perfect.
