The official thread for your thoughts for "Rock'n'Roll Circus" (Anything!)

[noisy_harmony]

That album is going to be one of her best.
Even though it has weakest singles in her career.

All leaked songs are great and have that 'something'. Microphone is epic rock song, is full of power. Don't look back... I just say that I love Ayu for creating this song <333 Sexy little things is ****ing original, it'll sound gorgeously in full. Lady Dynamite gives me her old works' feeling, it really matches with PV taking place in the club. count down is the most mysterious for me, I can't wait to hear it in full.

Music video for Microphone is maybe not her best, but it deserves to be on top of each fan list. I love that it tells kinda weird story about these random people and Ayu isn't on the centre.
The biggest disappoint for now is Sexy little things PV preview for me. But it's only a preview and just wait and see to full video. I have some hopes since we know that it's connected with Microphone video.

Low Quality of "Last Links" and "meaning of Love" are leaked.

Last Links for me is a soft-rocks. Nice and refresh

meaning of Love - again, Ayu you surprise me! I thought this is an intro but it is not! The opening sounds like Secret ..

That may or may not be the actual reason for why it's called a circus but that does make more sense than everything else I've heard

[Tasked]

What a fantastic song and PV, that SLT.. so nice

[kotora]

Sexy Little unique Things LOL... (aka slu t).. Seems Microphone and Sexy Little Things both PV together has deep meanings.

Don't Look Back PV is leaked. After watching it.. I was like WOW ayu you are creepy on one side. I didn't expect she did that on her face!!!!!

Discussion on PVs interpretation ?

[Raleigh]

^ AHS used to have these cool pv threads for interpretations for each and every pv. I loooved those.

Up till now all three promotional videos are quite good. I am really impressed. Still trying to process them

[SunshineSlayer]

Ok, just saw the SLT PV. For both the song and the video, I have no idea what to think! Seriously, I can't even tell whether it is good or bad! lol

One thing I know for sure that I didn't like though was it seemed like the song ended way to abruptly.

[pepper]

New songs so far:

(full songs heard)

Microphone
Cool song, i really liked it, but when you are listening to it like 27381273812783812 times when it leaked, youre gonna hate it (XD)

Sexy Little Things
THIS IS ONE OF BEST SONGS EVER. My theory about every Ayu songs starts from "S" is true. Every "S" song is AWESOME TO DEATH. Amen.

Don't look back
Boring, kinda. Not bad, but meh. I only enjoys cute "Don't look back" she sayin xP

(previews)

Lady Dynamite
Found this one boring and not melodical. But when i saw PV cut i thought "not bad at all". We'll see when i watch PV (XD)

count down
Flat for me (from this preview) but i heard some nice guitar rifs, and im gonna love this.

meaning of LOVE and Last Links (cause from one preview xd)
meaning of LOVE sounds very pretty and Last Links sounds like (miss)understood. What does it means? IM GONNA TOTALLY LOVE LAST LINKS XD But the meaning of Love sounds pretty damn good, too

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

so, the only interlude is "montage" and "Jump!"??

Thank god!

IDK it just kinda stuck out to me.

Maybe it'll be the title of that mysterious TA only song that she's releasing after the album? Sorta like with RAINBOW

She just said "F You biXXX, I'm leaving this hellhole." Or some such words! ahaha

That makes lots of sense!! ^^

[milky_way]

Yeah, I really don't like the PV for Lady Dynamite

[Not~Yet]

Lady Dynamite PV had the potential to be amazing but... no. It did improve around the last minute but it's just "meh" to me. I really wanted to like it since I like the clubbing theme... The song on the other hand -> . It reminds me a lot of a couple of The Gazette songs but that's not a bad thing

[ownsarai]

I like the song for Lady Dynamite just fine, but the PV was a little boring. There is no doubt in my mind now that all of her dancers (male) are gay. It did look like Ayu was having a bit of fun, and she does look hot with the chupa chupa.
Don't look back is the most awesome song/PV from this album IMO. The PV was so unexpected. I love to see this side of Ayu.
Microphone is great, and the PV was a bit random but I don't hate it.
Sexy little things, well I thought the PV was definitely interesting and artistic. I enjoyed the part where she plugs her eyeball lamp into the electrical outlet, you hear a scream and then blood starts running out. That is really awesome. haha Plus I love Ayu in that red and black outfit. The song is cool, sounds really cutesy and I don't know if she will be able to perform it live without helium. xD

[Corvina]

As I said in the offical thread, it seems that Rock'nRoll Circus will be a hit or miss with me.
Like one half and dislike the other we have so far.
For example I asbolutely adore Don't look back, song and PV!
But I totally dislike Lady Dynamite.
It's somehow funny, but at the moment R'nR C tunrs out to have the worst and the best works of her,lol.
Something is already sure - it's definitely not one of her best albums for me.

[jbrat2219]

Don't Look Back gave me chills, Lady D gave me gasms. This is all I need.

I can not express enough how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE both PVs. I'm surprised some don't like Lady D, it looks like sooooooooooooo much fun. I definitely love the song more now that I heard it in full because I wasn't too sure at first. But now, t'is perfect.

Or almost perfect because Don't Look Back is the very definition of PERFECTION! The song + PV might be my favorite from Ayu for a long time! It's even creepier than Ourselves! Oh and when you watch them back to back O_O; Chills all up and down your spine! It's serious business! Oh.... Ayu... This is why I love you above anyone else!

I actually agree with you for once lol. I'm still on the fence with both the song and the PV. The PV I don't get at all and the song I may have to get use to. I don't necessarily hate it, but when I put it up against songs (and PVs) like Microphone, DLB and Lady D... it just doesn't compare in my opinion. But I do like that she tried something different with it and I think it's cute.

Also, I was hoping that with the blood coming out of the outlet and the screams the PV would have more of a "horror" feel to it.

[kotora]

I really DO NOT LIKE the concept of Lady Dynamite. If ayu is trying to be a gay icon, and she should think not all gay men are going to dress leather and dance so femme.

That is full of prejudge of homosexual in Lady Dynamite for me. Sorry ayu and her dancers because you guys listen to that director and do this PV, that is so pissed me off.

[Crystal_Ageha]

I don't think they were trying to make Lady Dynamite prejudice, it's just that, nothing other than over-the-top gayness would work for the PV, hah. That's what made it so interesting and out there, because they all had the Hard Gay thing going on, lol. I mean, I believe the actual concept wasn't just homosexuals in a club, it was over-the-top homosexual clubbing, hah. I don't think any offense should be taken, honestly.

[Picaflor 7/4]

I sort of like the pv. I never found ayu's dancers hot...(atleast, not these ones anyways. I prefer the ones from her my story era), but this pv really makes them look hot. XD I think they really enjoyed themselves, and I highly believe that they're all gay. Especially after this video. haha

Take out ayu, Have the entire video consist of the guys dancing, replace they song lady dynamite with connected and you have a kickass music video. 8) I will definitely say that every 3 seconds, I kept forgetting this was an ayumi hamasaki video. I just stared at the guys the whole time. lol so hot~

EDIT:
Actually I change my mind with what I said earlier. instead of taking out ayu. just replace her with bi rain, top, or any other hot asian guy, and then go ahead and redub the video with connected. bam, you have soft porn right there. I definitely would have loved to see a kiss in the end or some kind of touching. that would have made it perfect.

[Andrenekoi]

kotora
Believe it or not, there are gays like that^^

And she already has a video with a "straight-like" gay, that would be GREEN

[Picaflor 7/4]

^this. Although kotora is saying that not all gay men are like that, it's a stereotype. But I agree that it made the pv. If you just had a bunch of average dressed guys dancing around a club, that would be boring. We already have the Fly High pv for that. >> besides. "Lady Dynamite" it totally fits. Drag Queen right there! lol

I think the pv is supposed to be ayu having a great ass time with her gay friends, and lady dynamite is her...*cough* *** hag name...
