not evolution, unite, surreal, boys and girls, or audience.

I'm really hoping for anything sinister. Because of you, ourselves, game, marionette (I actually don't like this song but I'm sure it would be great with this type of theme) kiss o kill, alterna, will (meh, it kind of has that twisted feel i guess), sparkle, heartplace, talkin 2 myself, hope or pain, criminal, liar, guilty.

I think that if the album IS called Rock'n'Roll Circus, then Sunrise has the potential to have an album mix, which I think is the best thing ever. She should always do "album versions" ^_^

I'd like to see still alone performed. Maybe not realistic, but I can dream.

as well as free & easy

honestly LOL i hated the title but i never thought it would become a big part of the tour? Like honestly future classics didn't seem like future classics, and premium wasn't so premium whatever that means. i'm pretty sure we'll get a tour LOL like... not like super rock and roll tour or tour with flying elephants but a tour which we really can't label yet? her names didn't gived much away before they shouldn't now

there wasn't an album version since I am...

so don't count with it. though they could definitely tweak sunrise, skip the single altogether and make it something new. the melody is still fine, but the arrangement...

Yes, they were.

Future Classics took many older performances and revamped them for the "future" in some way. If you didn't notice, 95% of the acts she did in CDL09-10 were done previously at some other tour/CDL.

PREMIUM COUNTDOWN LIVE was very long, and was about an hour longer than her usual concerts with 3.5 hours total as opposed to 2.5. There were also 30+ songs used in that CDL, topping even A MUSEUM's number.

alterna had a sort of album tweak since the hey hey heys were toned down in the final mix, but otherwise no official album mixes since then. She could revamp Sunrise since that's what she's been doing at all the dang lives of it.

I'm well aware...although (miss)understood's alterna was slightly different from the fairyland single.

also-- didn't ayu herself state that this album she was going to go back to "classic ayu style" or something like that? that could mean anything. anything is possible.

jean-baptiste · #**329** 18th February 2010, 04:23 AM

if a tour with the name "Rock'n'Roll Circus" doesn't include any elements having to do with Rock and Roll or circus themes...
than that's gonna be a bit misleading.

i don't mind her singing evoltuion, UNITE!, SURREAL, etc. as long as they're rearranged!!

and ayu singing Will FTW!!!

happiholic★ · #**330** 18th February 2010, 04:42 AM

Interesting name, to say the least. I think I would like it better if it was just 'Circus', but that's too close to what Brit named her most recent album, although it would explain why I like it. Circus was amazing <3.

OMG, is this from the Future Classics concert???? I gotta see it now!!!!!

I like the title. A lot, actually. It sounds a little childish (like something a 7 year-old playing make-believe and dress-up with her friend would come up with) or like she's trying too hard to come up with a cool English title and failing (like how I felt when I say the title, "Mirrorcle World" --I'm still embarrassed to tell my friends that I love a song with that title...

), I'll grant that; but honestly, it sounds fun. With a title like that, you know it won't be boring. Even with so many negative remarks, I've never seen so many Ayu fans wonder so crazily what the hell is going to happen during it or what it'll be like. The fact that I don't know what's going to come excites me.

And I love the cutesy songs at her concerts!!!

They're my favorite parts! I would love a concert with nothing BUT cutesy performances (granted, I'd only want to see ONE of those concerts...lol)!! I can't stand the plot performances. I can't stand to see her pretending to be in anguish and reaching out to some imaginary person...makes me want to shoot myself. >_<

jean-baptiste · #**332** 18th February 2010, 04:47 AM

^ even if it wasn't really intended, i always try to find a way to make the concert have a story-line in some way. xD i like it better like that.

zellyx · #**333** 18th February 2010, 04:49 AM

I would LOVE to hear:
criminal
alterna
liar
marionette
still alone
i am...

And those are just the few that immediately come to mind when thinking of rock n' roll circus.

amorphose · #**334** 18th February 2010, 04:58 AM

I just had a thought... A lot of people are getting really high expectations for this tour because of the title. Everyone's thinking the title is giving us the theme-- which would be amazing and all. Even I was thinking that way at first. But if Rock'n'Roll Circus turns out to be the name of the album too-- will we all still be thinking this tour will be different than any other? Because if it's the name of the album... Then the tour would only be named after the album.

It'd be like NEXT LEVEL being announced in the tour title before the album was announced. We'd all have been making assumptions that the tour would've been themed around the title "NEXT LEVEL."

Hmmm... I want the album announcement soon to figure out what's going on!

For the most part, there was one part people might've guessed correctly, (the Super Mario-y section) haha.

NEXT LEVEL [the album] was announced two weeks before the tour title was finalized.

LOL why is that true!

love in music · #**337** 18th February 2010, 05:06 AM

What excites me the most is that ayu herself said this tour is amazing/almost too good to be true. If it were just like all of her other tours I don't believe she would say something like that.

I'm not expecting everything to be all new and fresh, but I'm expecting at least some new ideas for performances and maybe some cool props.

Andrenekoi · #**338** 18th February 2010, 05:07 AM

Well... since You were I'm expecting some classic rock influenced songs (because of the guitar on the song's arrangment), after that, the photoshots and CDL made this even more plausible for me

Blasterion · #**339** 18th February 2010, 05:32 AM

I never expected a title like this from Ayu ^^
I don't really know what to expect, but it's probably gonna be big!

and I'm just really excited!!

Emperatriz Ayumi · #**340** 18th February 2010, 05:40 AM

Thanks so much for the info!!
