^^ i probably wouldn't want her to use them either, but i have to say no matter what they usee it's always just a miss for me. I'm not sure why but Japan has this tendency to go all out on one thing and just scrabble the rest in 5 minutes. Sometimes if not for the actual original professional photoshoots, i couldn't even tell it wasn't fan made lol Logos are a whole other story though, they weren't doing such a bad job on those but some are MAJOR fails too~

Although I'm not a big fan (so far) of Mad World, seeing the lyrics I know why they chose this to make a PV. I have a feeling it will be worldly themed lol

FLOWER definitely needs a PV but I can't help imaging it to be like part of Me + Moments. I wonder if she has much time to do these 2 PVs now that the tour is starting.

She has a week to film stuff this week, I think. Also some breaks later on during the tour too.

If she goes by her usual schedule she should have PVs and covers done by next week or the one after at the latest.

Besides, yes, she could be having some wild theories to interpret "made in Japan" and decide on cover arts that are entirely different from everyone's expectations or interpretation. Not necessarily good, I've learnt.

EDIT/addition:
If the rumours about Mad World getting a PV is true, then I'm kind of surprised that she's not making a new PV for any ballad. You are the only one, Breakdown (not really a ballad), and TODAY have so much potential as a PV-worthy song in my opinion.

It's not really a rumor anymore. Official information sources have FLOWER + Mad World. She made some good choices.

I think she has made an excellent choice this time as I think those are the best 2 tracks on the album. Plus this should rule out any chances of us getting a relationship gone wrong/love video for any of the two

truehappiness · #**270** 18th May 2016, 08:06 AM

Oh dear, you never know, lol.

She did. Even though I believe You are the only one would have made amazing potential for a PV, I'm glad she has chosen to avoid doing any ballad PVs. Her last several albums have been riddled with ballad PVs. While they're nice, it's time for a change of pace. Both of these songs are different from a lot of what's appeared on her last several records. They'll make for good promotional material.

Rock'n'Roll Circus is the perfect title for her career.

I think it was less about genre and more about attitude. Even if it's a sweet ballad it becomes rock because she sings it?
I can't remember where she said it, sorry. I hope I didn't get it completely wrong. O_o It was like six years ago afterall.

I'm also glad that she didn't choose Summer Love to have a PV. She has enough PVs for summer songs.

In fact, the music videos filmed in the UK are cold, and seem to possess a deep, meaningful worldview. The album title brings all the tracks to a higher level, and links them to AYU.

“Traditional Japanese, ethnic, European… With all these different sounds mixed together, it’s like a circus. And when I sing, they become rock. Rock is a very wide genre, and can include lots of different types of songs, but when I sing, it becomes rock. For example, even if I dress up in a girly manner like today and sing a ballad, rock will still be rock. And because rock exists in my soul, it will be reflected in whatever I do. The new album’s title “Rock’n’Roll Circus” reflects something interesting, scary, sad, weird, and a whole bunch of others mixed together. And that is what I think Rock&Roll is about.”
