The PV is crazy.

Definitely agree 100%! The composition of the song seems to be lacking but this song doesn't rely on that. It's personality is what makes the song shine. Sometimes, at least in my opinion, it's what makes the song so much better.

Alot of comparisons to Vogue, which I believe has a superior melody and charm. But there is something haunting about DLC which captures you despite its monotonousness (is that even a word).

At first I thought that it was nice but nothing special but now I love it. I'm also happy there's no Arabian PV, I guess it's the biggest surprise of this album just because of that.

I love it.

It's different, atmospheric, creepy, relaxing and has great lyrics.

Rock 'n' Roll Circus is really turning out to be the best album Ayu's come out with in a while, imo.

Does Namie contribute to her album production in anyway?

Namie and Ayumi's sounds are completly different, they're so hard to compare. Namie's music has huuuuge western influence, whereas Ayu's hardly has any. Or if she takes western influence, she makes it her own.

PS - need hq of don't look back. Its going to sound amazing in CD quality.

Namie may beat her in sales but quality wise... She can't even beat ayu's worst song with her best song. Her music is so empty.

I really like the song! It's mysterious and has a really catchy hook! I like how the arabic and electronic synths are fused together. Really nicely done.

Coupled with a seemingly dark concept hidden amidst a bright, white PV, I can't wait for it! I have to agree this album could probably be one of the better Ayu albums in some time.

It sounds like it's gonna be one of, if not the best song on the album.

I absolutely love the PV! Ayu was right about the surprise!

The song is also nice, not her best, but matches up with the concept/PV perfectly.

the song is okay, not my favorite but still nice. But the PV is brilliant! <3 I love the 'contrast' concept and her acting was actually good for once ^-^

no matter what people say, the direction and editing of this pv is 10/10

if it was boring is something totally different, to me at least it wasn't.



i cant wait to watch it HQ!!!!



tragic-mental ayu is <3




EDIT: LOL at people comparing with namie's latest album. ayu is doing something a lot more experimental, i would say one of her most experimental works...

namie instead, with past<future took the easy road and went for a style that is very popular atm... so it was easy for her to get good sales and of course thanks to her popularity nowadays...

The PV is definitely AMAZING. Completely portrays the lyrics of the song which further emphasizes the beauty to the song's haunting melody.
