I'm hoping for something better than the "London" Rock'n'Roll Circus

to make. I want to see her standing with Big Ben in the background or something, lol

I think if she'd done the whole big ben thing it would have looked really touristy, I dunno made it cheap? like going for the obvious

I hope a cup of tea is the only other interlude besides taskebab. Will be weird having a full-length album without some sort of introduction though, but it's all good!

Also, do we think that the PV for HBYR will air around the time it is released digitally?

I hope it's not like RnRC too because it was too childish looking. But the photoshoot from RnRC was great...just not the cover for me.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^I don't really care for the one cover, but the CD+DVD of her up close is gorgeous.

[happiholic★]

I didn't like RnRC concept at all. The whole thing was a miss for me. Love songs, despite that I don't like the album, had a really cute concept. Not earth-shattering, but I liked it.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Never understand the R'n'RC hate. Whether it's the concept or the music itself, I thought it was an extremely solid release. I LOVE it.

If Party Queen is on the same level, I will be ecstatic. Something tells me it will be though.

Also, thinking about it, it will be pretty cool if the album doesn't have an intro. It worked great on (miss)understood! As long as she starts it out with the upbeat tracks. Like maybe Party Queen, Shake it, or NaNaNa will be the first track...hm....ugh I hate speculation LOL

Do not get me started... Do not get me started.

Yeah I don't understand why people hate RnRC.

I am simply grateful for it gave us Microphone, last links, Sexy little things, and Don't Look Back!!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^I also love countdown, Sunrise, You were..., and Lady Dynamite! haha the album version of Red Line is great too...I love the way it ends. <3


@zeke stop being a drama queen

I really like RnRC, I think it's a great album. Same thing goes to Love Songs. Both of these albums have different concept. I don't know why people hate RnRC? For me, all of the songs were great..Even I Love "meaning of Love" on first listen.

I hated the album version of Red Line! Her vocals were terrible... Lol.

*shrug* idk it sounds like any other studio track from that album to me

[emi♡]

RNRC was just expected for me

It was the same formula as her other albums, just with her current standard of bad music lol

And the concept...London fashion was so popular then, I figured she was just being trendy like she tries to do. Her Love Songs reminds me of Rinka's photobooks...

So anyway, idk, I wasnt disappointed. I liked that she had count down and last links, just cause, we hadnt really had any plain, raw songs like that.


And yeah, her studio vocals had been awful since GUILTY for me, so, I wasnt bothered.

Im so excited for her vocals for this album *_*

[AyuHamasaki01]

I'm quite excited about this new album!

Really? How so? Love song, crossroad, MOON, Days, GREEN, Sparkle, Microphone, BALLAD, You were..., November, all sound outstanding to me.

[njanjayrp]

While I can understand people disliking NEXT LEVEL, I can't possibly understand what's so bad about Rock'n'Roll Circus as the album had no flaws for me. It was what I wanted her to do.

I can't really recall a single artist who changes their formulas with every release, though imo Ayu changes plenty pretty often, though it's not that obvious.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^I love that about her though. I've said before there is at least one track that doesn't get played as much, or is the least favorite or something. For NEXT LEVEL, those would be identity and rollin' for me. Will on (miss)understood. etc.

Slight flirtation with j-rnb was such a fresh air. Especially after safe Love Songs and RnRC, at least I thought of it as safe with her casual listeners and fans. Each track speaks for itself how strong it is. I can't doubt Party Queen will be something strong and fresh too.

I think I have to disagree, she gets much more boring, repetitive & weaker in terms of music with every release for me, FIVE is the weakest & cheapest of them all in terms of music production/PVs

"had" been, like back before rnrc I thought they were. I had the biggest issue with Rule iirc...her vocals for Love Songs were nice. English bugged me, but what else is new lol
