^ ahaha "worst" well theres someone at least who isnt in love with the songs ^__~

---i like em all. but maybe thats cuz i already like or love every ayu song anywayz. im not dissapointed although i didnt have high hopes. now im surprised whichi is a better feeling that being satisfied ^___^ if that made any sense

Microphone is preferred. i must love ayu rock. count down is perfection as far as lyrics go. and its pretty nice to me. oh and SLT is so cool. ayu embraced the concept and lyrics she wanted to portray very well i think

EDIT: how could i forget. i love Don't Look Back. anything with arabic sound is cool to me and for that song it works so well

^I agree with all you said...

Though Next Level was fun and also has a lot of my favourite tracks RnRC seems to have a more interesting concept... it seems like she's making it really special... regardless if the songs are spectacular...
I thing I'll get a different feeling listening to the album as a whole from start to finish... I find Ayu's albums are meant to be listened this way most of the time... she's good at creating a whole picture imo

kotora · #23 26th March 2010, 04:55 AM

Does anyone notice the last part of Mircophone PV? ayu has a thing like iPhone ..or iTouch.. but not exactly.. is it a new product from Apple called iAyu?

I like that a lot.

Crystal_Ageha · #24 26th March 2010, 05:15 AM

^ It's some sort of touch screen thing, yeah. She was actually the one controlling the scenes (including where the "brother" knocks into Ayu).

Maybe somebody else knows exactly what it is?

Yeaaaaaa, that thing@.@ Ayu presents Apple new product - iAyu @.@
Btw, that skinny girl walking in tunnel and yelling is like a... donkey

waterballoon · #26 26th March 2010, 05:21 AM

I would buy... iAyu, xD

Anyway, posting more thoughts as more things come along, but so far from everything, here's a ranking of the songs so far:

Don't look back
Sexy little things
RED LINE ~for TA~
BALLAD
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
Microphone
Lady Dynamite
You were...
Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~
count down

they're all really awesome though!

visionfactory · #27 26th March 2010, 05:32 AM

I think Sunrise & Sunset don't fit the Rock'n'Roll Circus theme at all

Well I think that is why she calls this album Rock n Roll Circus ?

If we think this album in two ideas as the follows.
Rock n Roll is obviously like Mircophone..
Circus implies having fun.. so Sunrise ~love is all~ kind of fit that implication.

However, at some way you are right, Sunrise and Sunset do not fit this album well.. BALLAD does not fit well too , tho.

I got to say I love the music but her vocals sounds strained to me.

I love Microphone <3

I love the strained vocals that Ayu seems like she has in Don't look back. Totally reminds me of vogue, SURREAL, etc. from Duty.

Cherry Dynamite · #30 26th March 2010, 08:13 AM

I personally love her deep vocals that sounds a bit strained but something is off for me on Don't look back. It's probably just me and I haven't heard the full song yet. I only heard until the minute mark. trying not to spoil the album but obviously failing xD

I don't think they sound strained or as bad as her vocals on the Duty album, they sound kind of MY STORY-ish to me. But I just love the lack of vibrato.

Andali · #32 26th March 2010, 08:44 AM

I'm looking forward to it more then I was Next Level. I'm hoping it goes on par with My Story for me cos I loved that album, but haven't had an album I liked as much since then.

Kogepan_19 · #33 26th March 2010, 09:17 AM

@ BanaCherry - I believe the magic has happens during the bridge after the second chorus...that section is gorgeous for me. Also the minor melody changes in the final chorus.

@ identity - Totally agree with the lack of vibrato comment. I personally love the vocals Ayu had during the Duty/I am.../RAINBOW era though.

y_nathz · #34 26th March 2010, 09:45 AM

I would love to buy iAyu

Anyway this is so much better than the last 3 albums for me so it's not so bad!
Microphone is so nice and the other songs are kinda good too

mmaibff · #35 26th March 2010, 10:50 AM

So this might be a bit random, but there no song on the album called Rock 'n' Roll Circus, IDK it might me just me but I'm kinda used to her album titles being one of the songs on the album, other then LOVEppers (which does have a song that reference to it) and My Story, all her other album titles have been on of the song in the album. IDK it just kinda stuck out to me.

Other then that I can't wait to see the PV for SLT it seems to be connected to Microphone not sure how yet but... the beginning (with her smashing the guitar) was see in the SLT preview, and in the end the outfit she wore was also from the SLT PV. Maybe it will change the meaning of the Microphone PV, or make it clearer?

alternarist · #36 26th March 2010, 11:41 AM

So many "thoughts" thread that claims to be official. But seriously, i have high hopes for this album. now i understand why its called a Circus.. ayu has songs with many different genres.

ayu_ready? · #37 26th March 2010, 12:28 PM

oh well I still don't like Microphone as a song, but I like the PV

it's freaky, but not the freakiest one. I didn't get the message also. I don't understand how it's connected with the lyrics and is it?

her dress was gorgeous, but wtf the hair & eyemake?? not good

well Don't look back has Indian feeling aaaand. I have mixed thoughts, I like it and I don't, like 50/50

other previews are LQ so I can't tell exactly but so far I haven't really liked any song

maikaru · #38 26th March 2010, 03:31 PM

The PV for Microphone gives me the feeling like "I'm the only one holding myself back"
Because she always starts walking on the catwalk in the church,
And then she always rips the scene and starts over...
But then when the drag queen tried to stop her from stepping over the table,
She just said "F You biXXX, I'm leaving this hellhole." Or some such words! ahaha

jbrat2219 · #39 26th March 2010, 03:58 PM

I might sound like a crazy ayu stan when I say this but there is absolutely nothing I don't like about this album. It's just too perfect to me. It is as close to perfection as a human artist can get. But that's just my opinion. It may sound extreme but RnRC is already my favorite Ayu album lol.

Oh so desu ka?
Thank you for enlightening me. I seriously dont really get the pv. I can only say it's a little scary and dark but the concept of the iphone and the rewindig part are interesting. So am I right to think that when she finally stopped holding back... she became this brand new person at the end?
