Rock'n'Roll Circus tracklist!

[AyUta]

I've always thought Ayu was awesome and cool too.

[truehappiness]

Tony G, we have an edit button so that you don't have to double post. Just sayin'.

But I don't think she'd shove all the interludes in the first half of the album, unless Jump! is one.

She's shoved them all in the end before, so why not shove them all in the first half?

For me the MUST BE interludes are THE intro, count down and Jump!

because there have to be 3 for sure (15 - 12 lyrics = 3 interludes). And you could say, AH, The introduction may have lyrics, so there are 4 interludes.... BUT I think, and I think I'll be right, that they won't do a sheet of handwritten lyrics for THE introduction (if it has lyrics), just because it's and interlude and not a song...

and for odd transitions see Duty -> Vogue, or Real Me -> Free&Easy

if "the meaning of Love" is a mid tempo ballad, it can flow well from Sunrise to You were... Moreover... with NEXT LEVEL with 4 interludes we still had that strange thing going from Rollin' to GREEN....

Well... that's just my opinion, and I hoep I'll be right ^^

[truehappiness]

I think Jump! is probably a full song.

Will this be Ayu's first song ever with an exclamation point? Haha.

I mean if it has that giant chunk of songs in the middle, it'd be like MY STORY all over again with a ton of ballad-y songs...

[Keiichi_JPU]

I suspect these will be the interludes:

THE introduction
obviously. And I love this title, hope it's epic!

count down
Cause it's between a very ubeat rock song Microphone (by the sound of it) and a very slow ballad Sunset.

Jump!
Simply because I think montage and meaning of Love are not interludes. because:
- montage is between two slow-paced songs (well.. Last Links kinda has to be a ballad, right. And Don't Look Back sounds really slow from the CM)
- meaning of Love could be a song like MY ALL or RED LINE, which in my opinion fits perfectly well between a cheerful song Sunrise and an "upbeat ballad" You were... (it's not the slowest ballad you can think of right).

But it's all just speculation of course

[Crystal_Ageha]

^ I really don't think meaning of Love is an interlude, either. It could easily work as a regular song, I think. Also, I'm reaaallyy hoping that meaning of Love and montage are both full songs, hah. Though.... montage totally sounds like an interlude. At first I thought Jump! HAD to be a regular song, and then I thought, no, it actually probably is an interlude, and now I just don't know! XP

UNITE!

[truehappiness]

Well, UNITE! is all caps... so this would be the first one with... not all caps?

I think I tend to shut out her concert staple songs... I almost always skip them when they come up on shuffle, hahahahaha.

[Are You Wake Up? and is this LOVE? satisfy the question mark one... woo, Jump! UNITE!~]

[I Am... Aaron]

When I see "Jump!" the first thing I think of is "Everybody go! Everybody jump!" from Humming 7/4

[Tony G]

So if we look at it like this:

01.THE introduction - obviously an interlude
02.Microphone - sounds like it's going to be a rock number
03.count down - interlude to change from rock song to ballad.
04.Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～ - ballad
05.BALLAD - ballad
06.Last Links - ballad?
07.montage - interlude to change to..
08.Don't look back - hard to categorise.. its definitely not a ballad
09.Jump! - sounds like an upbeat song, could be an interlude to change to the electro songs like disco-muncation.
10.Lady Dynamite - PV in a club, so probably an electro song
11.Sexy little things - sounds like this will be an electro song given its next to lady dynamite and the title, and ayu's habit of putting songs next to each other that fit the same genre
12.Sunrise ～LOVE is ALL～ - upbeat electropop
13.meaning of Love - interlude from upbeat songs to a ballad
14.You were... - ballad
15.RED LINE ～for TA～ [album version] - midtempo

So there are two interludes that are potentially ones in between a upbeat song and a ballad. I don't think there will be two interludes that will serve the same purpose. So maybe one of countdown and meaning of love are not interludes, and Jump! is? who knows, somebody tell us >_<

I doubt both montage and Jump! are interludes unless she's sandwhiching them around a song in the middle of the album.

Its entirely possible that the album will flow from Don't look back - Sunrise without an interlude, which makes me think Jump! isn't one.

[GRACE]

maybe count down isn't an interlude and is a rock ballad instead that goes into the ballad section? Maybe one of the other songs is like this instead of an interlude (count down just seems like the song that makes sense for it, because it'd be harder for a song to transition between upbeat and ballad and vice versa). After all, GUILTY had rock->Rock ballad->ballads

[primavera♥]

^ that too makes sense
they all do. . .i suppose we can wait
i just hope for more rock songs than just Microphone XD
rock from ayu is just precious to me

[Tony G]

The album will definitely have a lot of guitar in it. Most of her albums do since I Am... As for songs that are just pop/rock.. who knows. I think there will be more mixed stuff, maybe rock ballads and electro-rock songs. Don't look back sounds a bit different from anything she's ever done, so we could get anything.

[KPL]

Somehow this album seems scattered tracklist-wise. Hope it will be epic when we get the songs. I appreciate she actually reverse her Fast-Slow template this time though

I used to be like that too and then A COMPLETE was released and I listened to them more due to the remastering kind of re-inventing the songs (you can pick out all the different sounds).

I know what you mean though - they kind of all just blend together.

[truehappiness]

I know what you mean though - they kind of all just blend together.

The only reason I shut them out is because I hear them enough from watching the concerts + a-nation a few (20+) times, so it's just more because of overhearing them than because they blend for me.

"Oh, evolution? Boys&Girls? UNITE!? SURREAL? Humming 7/4? independent? -faints-"

I swear they come up like 30 times on shuffle since I have a few live rips and most best albums on my iPod...

CMJK was seen doing some acoustic guitar playing in his blog along with mentioning a guest guitarist from London... [or maybe he thinks of himself as a guest guitarist? I dunno.]

[Tony G]

Watching DVDs, yeah, I just shut them out. Some performances are really good though that you take notice. But at an actual concert, I'd enjoy hearing any of them <3. More of a crowd experience that you can't feel at home.

I would appreciate the reverse thing more if she didn't attempt to start the album off with what sounds like it will be a kick-ass, amazing song and then go into the ballads. If she had started off with a unique ballad like HAPPY ENDING at AT05 it would have been sooo amazing.

[truehappiness]

She probably has some reason for doing it...

Maybe Microphone ends on a sorrowful ballad-y note?

Ah I see. I discovered UNITE! SURREAL and AUDIENCE from watching lives so to me they all have this "live" image and from watching them/hearing them being performed so much they blended together (although I still to like SURREAL now and then).

[Picaflor 7/4]

just watch, all the songs we think are interludes happen to be full songs like the introduction, haha.
