forgive me cos I think I got polluted by the horror of STEP you @ Future Classics.

well, by what you said... if the "circus" refers to anything similar to the set up of the 1 LOVE PV, this might just be my favorite tour theme from her...

[freedreamer]

I wonder if we can expect some avantgarde outfits? ahhaha..and some wild makeup...
hopefully she will NOT dress as a clown...
and i can ASSURE, if she comes out as a ringmaster, people here and gonna talk over and over about it again.
maybe even more tissue dances HAHA

It's kind of funny 'cause I've just creating a circus troup for my drawing studies. Also wanted to go towards the freak side but finally didn't really.

There might not be clowns at all and it's not like she has never had clowns before both in her PVs and the concerts, so seriously wtf are Britney Spears and co. even doing here? 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.

[love in music]

WOW lol. I was 99% sure when you IMed me with this it was a joke. The title just seems so fake to me. It needs time to sink in
But really, this title makes me more excited for the tour even if it's a little weird. I can't wait to see what she does!

omg now that I'm thinking more about it and imagining things.. it should be amazing. Imagine how awesome the opening could be, ahh!
And I'll bet she'll add in WONDERLAND to the setlist. Srsly ayu, bring on the scary clowns <3

T____________T

add dates for autumn please, please I beg you!!!

I don't think dates will be added, is already the longest tour with 36 dates. Last year, NEXT LEVEL had only 24. I think the addition of dates was exceptional.
Come to the final in July!

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

I never thought of that! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. Well, just alterna live again would be amazing!

I hope this tour is a lot less like her previous tours... (They use the same formula over and over and over!!!) and something much more like P!NK's Funhouse tour. Yessss. Well-- it'd at least be cool if Ayu tried a different stage and didn't overuse her dancers.

Oooh~ and now I'm really hoping to get to go to this tour too! I'm planning a trip to Japan in July so hopefully I can make it to the finale!

yessss! she must includes wonderland in the setlist and as the opening of cos! with the freaky theme it's going to be freakin awesome <333

[Mai82Go]

sounds good. can't wait...curious for the album now.

[powpowparn]

Interesting.

I'm guessing she'll have a similar stage as Britney did with her Circus tour then? I hope her 'circus' is more like Take That's than Britney's. The mechanical elephant Take That had was really cool so it would be fun to see Ayu having something like

Not sure what I think of the full title. If it is the album name maybe there will be one song called Rock'n'Roll and one called Circus? A bit like LOVEppears.

Well, I'm certainly looking even more forward to being at the opening show on April 10th now

Who cares for Spears anyway? She wasn't the first one with the Circus theme. Maybe Ayu got TT inspired? Yay.

bahaha very nice title... looking forward to how the tour is going to turn out...

they are only 31 dates for now... she did more with NEXT LEVEL tour (35)... and really... I don't think that when she said she was going to do the longest tour ever on her career she was talking about adding only 1 show XDD

and I have to work THIS summer to be able to go to her tour if she adds dates in autumn... so I can't go before then... need money... T_____T that's why I'm praying to see dates in autumn... (And I don't care if it's in Asia, I just want dates in autumn XDDD)


P.D: I've said I want dates in autumn?? LOL

Please tell me you're joking? A similar stage like Britney? WTF? Where are all these Britney comments coming from? Do people even think what cr*p they're posting? Come on use your brain. Just because you see the word "CIRCUS" somewhere it doesn't automatically mean it has something to do with Britney... If you decided to see a real circus performance would you expect to see Britney perform with lions? Seriously this has to stop.

The people who are saying these things are probably Britney fans themselves, therefore not the brightest people.

I like the title, it's unexpected! I LOVE it when Ayu throws us off with completely unexpected themes! I honestly don't think I'd mind if it were the album title as well. It's a bit longer than her usual ones but hey, weren't you all begging for a change? Well here it is. xD;

LOL @ everyone freaking out over the "circus" part. Don't you all know that Ayu takes a trend and turns it into a masterpiece? Britney's CIRCUS album is pretty good, but I hear her show wasn't anything special and Kumi's TRICK fails at life and needs to not exist. Mika's CANDY GIRL was quite a let down for me as well. So I'm excited that Ayu is going to show everyone how it's done so they better take notes.

Perhaps lol, but I still find it hard to believe they've never heard of circuses before she named her album that way. Talking about having a very "limited" mind

kill yourself kthxbai.

no one needs musical snobs.

Can people share different opinions / point of views without being mean?
Thanks.

[njanjayrp]

^ sure, but there is a limit to the amounts of stupidity one can stand ^^

@tourniquet - actions speak for themselves...
