Rock'n'Roll Circus 4/14 new album information [XIII]

[puddinx]

Gosh, the booklet's perfect!
Far better than GUILTY & NL.

[rakeru]

Wow. Already this is becoming one of my favorite booklets.

[love in music]

I love the booklet pics! We get so many pics with ND, I'm so happy

[waterballoon]

I'm loving the booklet pics SO MUCH

[maaya]

Booklet is so awesome, love that it use her hand writing in song titles and all lyrics in red line.

[Misa-chan]

I love that all the titles are handwritten!! Feels like she actively took part in the booklet making herself!

this album credit Nobita kun.hahaha
the booklet picts looks Ok. I dont really like it though

[freedreamer]

Nobita Kun is Yuta Nakano isnt it??? Im SOOOOOOOO glad he is working with Ayu now. He's made superb tracks in the past...(except that I think he took a new step in NEXT LEVEL or something)..Honestly, her best compesers have all stepped up for this album..great job.

[Bigtop]

Thanks for sharing the scans! Looking interesting...

[Crystal_Ageha]

Oh my gawd, you guys almost ruined it for me by not putting all the scans in spoilers, hah! (I have this thing where I refuse to look at the booklets for CDs until I actually have it in my hands, even if I've already heard all the songs and everything. ^^)
But good to hear you guys think it's so wonderful--can't wait to see!! (And I'm so glad it's different than the London shoot.)

I also can't wait to hear the opening to Last Links... Sounds so awesome; it's really creative. ...And sad.


And yes. Yuta Nakano is utterly incredible, hah. So glad I'm not the only one who sees this. XP

[Abby]

OMG use spoilers please x__D (just kidding ) but really <.< xD
I've been closing my eyes every two posts LOL!

I'm really having a hard time fighting with myself and "what I want to do?" LOL. I never cared about seeing or not things before they came out, but this time it just seems so fun!! But it is REALLY hard!

Anyways ^^ I'm so glad that some of you really like the booklet you're all making me so excited about this album! everytime I come and read your comments...is like: WOW!! I'll die when I get my box! I'll die! xD (of course everytime there isn't a fight filling a page after the other xD)

I read about AYU's anniversary! I didn't know either!! I hope TA members do write her something like what ayuisrael? said: "Congrats from A World Is One". Even if I didn't participate u.u'' The fact that she's awared about international fans is just

I wished time had wings now xD

Edit: That's right! I can't wait to heard Last Links either!! WOW! *__*

I LOVE YOU HIKARI. -LOVES-

[freedreamer]

ÔOOO YEA! BALLAD was by D.A.I omg..this is truly the record that holds all her greatest and most consistent composers!..surprised HAL only participated in one song and thats You were...

IM so sorry...but what does the arranger and Mixer do..I know this question has been asked many times..
(yay for HIKARI...Tetsuya+HIKARI = Secret,Moments haha)

So they probably redid Microphone & SLT in London along with Last Links, DLB, montage..5 songs? I think Lady Dynamite, meaning of Love, count down, Jump! and THE intro were done in Japan

[Beauty4123]

the booklet is so BEAUTIFUL. i love all the pictures!

as for the album, I LOVE IT. i seriously love every song (even Sunset has grown on me). i think the interludes/introduction on NEXT LEVEL were a bit better than the ones on this album, but my favorite interlude would have to be Jump!. besides for the album tracks we've already heard, i love count down and Last Links alot.

overall, this is such a good album. i really want to buy it sometime in the future. i'm very satisfied.

[truehappiness]

IM so sorry...but what does the arranger and Mixer do..I know this question has been asked many times..

Arrangers select instruments and etc. to use and basically direct the musicians or if they're playing themselves, they play the instruments.

Mixers bring all of the elements of Ayu's vocals and the instruments together.

It's all very simple, I think... unless somehow I'm wrong, haha.

[freedreamer]

^^Ahhh ok. So Koji is the ultimate genius of it all hahaha...but of course, the melody and stuff still has to be amazing to deserve the compliment of a "good track"

dang it...Im seriously anxious as the days creep by...for me, 5 days count down (lol)..MUST SHIP TOMORROW!

[truehappiness]

So Koji is the ultimate genius of it all hahaha...but of course, the melody and stuff still has to be amazing to deserve the compliment of a "good track"

Well, the ultimate "genius" is the arranger, or Ayu, haha.

The arranger basically determines the sound of the song. The mixer just puts all of the elements together.

Koji is Ayu's usual mixer, but occasionally she has a mixer or two that isn't Koji. Some people don't like the way he mixes, haha.

[noisy_harmony]

****, my damn computer. I'm coming back and I have to check these all new leaks at one day.

PVs:
Sexy little things - I knew it, nothing to have high expectations with. Even Lady Gaga's "nothing happens but look! at these fantastic fashion creations" MVs are more entertaining. Sorry bb, but don't bother, song kicks ass.
Lady Dynamite - as it supposed to be - funny and entertaining. I love it mainly for that gay club concept. As for the song - I didn't want it to have electronic tune in it! I'm a bit dissapointed, it sounded better in preview for me XDD
Don't look back - artistic and reflective... I wanted things happened more, but it's good PV.

Booklet:
AWESOME BEAUTIFUL FLAWLESS. I fell in love.

Perf at MS:
I want to have this dress <3 I always have CAROLS era in the front of my eyes when I see her current hairstyle. :] Kinda surprising song choice for me, but never mind. She sang SEASONS not that bad, for her standards. God bless her for leak of vibrattto, I prefer her pseudoscreaming. Microphone was great!, but... why dancers, why T^T

I know that album was leaked, but I don't want to dl it and listen for now. I think I can wait few more days.

[everlastingRAINBOW]

Any lottery prize pictures yet?

And could you use spoilers for the lyric book pics, I wanted to keep them a surprise
