Rock'n'Roll Circus - album information and covers [VIII]

[Max_ZZZ]

sick song!!

besides the people hating on people for giving real opinions, i love how everyone's thoughts are so authentic =D EVERYONE IS SO PUMPED FOR THE ALBUM!!!

[truehappiness]

Haha, usually I leave the setlist creating up to Ayu since with Ayu it's kind of unpredictable except for the usual staples of evolution/SURREAL/UNITE!/Boys&Girls/etc...

I've never done the sort of thing of making up my own setlist, mostly because I've never been here just when a tour was announced or about to start, or maybe I just never paid that much attention. But this time I gave it a shot and it was good fun.

Kiss o Kill episode II. Love it~

Microphone
変化はとても素敵な事だけど
自分を無くすって意味じゃない
根っこにあるこれまでもこれからも
貫ける自分があってこそ

確かに限界を感じて何もかもに
背を向けてうずくまっていた
日々もあったけれど

もう迷ったりしない 後悔なんて無い
あなたと出会うのは運命だったの
あたしである意味を 存在する意義を
与えて教えてくれるのはいつも
あなただから


だけどね時々顔も見たくない位
憎たらしい日もあるから
もう二度とこの視界に入らないで
なんて思う事もあるの

だからって離れてしまえるわけでもない
結局どんな時も一番そばにいて欲しい

重力に押されて 引力に引かれて
あなたと出会うのは必然だったの
何も逆らえない 敬服するしかない
わかってる あなた無しのあたしは
あたしじゃない


もし完璧なメロディーがあるなら
あたしはまだ出会いたくない

もう迷ったりしない 後悔なんて無い
あなたと出会うのは運命だったの
あたしである意味を 存在する意義を
与えて教えてくれる あなたが

重力に押されて 引力に引かれて
あなたと出会うのは必然だったの
何も逆らえない 敬服するしかない
わかってる あなた無しのあたしは
あたしじゃない

Two attempts at transcribing from Livedoor.

This song definitely sounds like Yuta Nakano arranged it.

So... I've been listening to Microphone and fell more in love with the arrangement. <3 I could understand if -anyone- doesn't like the song though; the song actually does sound a little monotonous, but that's fine by me.

IMO, the greatest aspects of this song isn't the melody; it's the genius arrangement, and her strong vocals.

This. If it weren't for the awesome heavy guitar and epic organs, I wouldn't like it even half as much. The actual melody isn't anything amazing; it's nothing real catchy or creative. But everything else about the song is near genius, hah. So it makes up for it, I think.
Like, this is one of those songs that I'll get the urge to listen to, and I'll just sit in wonder at the wonderful instruments used and such, and I'll enjoy just listening to her vocals (which are really good). I'll love it and love to listen to it because it's so different sounding, and because it has such an awesome feel (and probably because it has one of the best PVs in her discography, hah :O). But it won't be something I have on repeat for hours straight, because the actual song isn't mind-blowing.

20 year old hikikomori are not the consensus for the whole of her Japanese fans you know ( ).

2ch are the people who give us the concert setlists as soon as they are performed usually, be grateful!

Way to generalize the Japanese people on 2ch. That'd be like saying that everyone on 4chan = 12 year old boys who don't know wtf they're doing on the internet, but then again that's probably more like /b/ rather than 4chan as a whole.

There are hikikomori on 2ch a la Densha Otoko, but why does that matter? Does their opinion not matter because they're like that? There's also a gaysaloon thread for Ayu that regularly has news, does the users' being "gay Japanese hikikomori" make their opinion not count? 2ch is a pretty weird place, but under all the trolling and gross ASCII images, there's some good people there.

Sorry buddy but that pretty much is the status of 2ch-ers. I'm assuming you do know the status of that place and how most Japanese people view it as and who is typically assumed to be on it.

I was just pointing out that the fact that 2ch likes it doesn't mean JAPAN likes it ( s ). Doesn't mean their opinion doesn't count, it just means it's quite the niche that won't determine something like song popularity.

And I'm sure you also know that 3/4 of 2ch is about rape pornography, lolicon, and overall creepy-ass crap.

I really like the melody. The way her voice is soft in the verses and then speeds up and BOOM! in the chorus is really dynamic and catchy I think.

The arrangement is freakin' cool though. Love it.

[emi♡]

^I think you're right...well, like for me, I think the melody is alright most of the song...but the little weird scale she does for the verses at the beginning is kinda...eh for me...I didn't feel her voice was strongest there either...

but it's only for a few seconds and then it's awesome lol

She brought back the keys <3 <3 <3


I wonder how this song will go down with the Japanese audiences.

Wow I actually found someone whom I could agree with

This song would've been total awesome if the verses weren't that light (and monotone like waterballoon mentioned). But I'm certain that the PV would make me love the song in the end

[yuki_unmei]

Ok i'm late. is the PV out yet or no?

The song's so friggin' amazing!♥♥ Her voice is sooo good!!
aah, Ayu & Rock is like French Fries & Ketchup

[truehappiness]

Ok i'm late. is the PV out yet or no?

If it were out/announced, this thread would probably be filled already, haha.

[rainydayumi]

i love the melodies, its strong too. the arrangements are great but i think the song is great because of the chorus and the church organ. i dont like the engrish though, but its sucha a small thing its not even noticeable.

this song sounds like a combination of free and easy and talkin2myself!

[ayu99persen]

love the organ .love the vocal.love everything.

its gonna be very perfect with the PV !

[LacusClyne]

there is a 320kbps version at ayuchina
