Post your dislike for Rock 'n' Roll Circus Title here :D

[JackieRos]

are you kidding me?
it has Britney written all over it

yeah I'm just kidding

[Picaflor 7/4]

She could do a britney and just name her album after herself "Ayumi". Although I will say I do love brit's "Britney" album. the album art all over and through the booklet was really cool. I used to have a huge poster of it on my walls.

[waterballoon]

isn't there a poll on whether you like the title? maybe people can post their dislike for it so the poll section actually can be useful LOL

^^ New album Ayumi...

Yah, I don't see it happening. lol

I liked Britney's albums all the way through Britney. Ah~ the days.

[zoomzoom]

The title is ok, I just don't really like whenever she uses unoriginal things. One thing is using a common song title, but this is a step further.

I know she'll own it and make it her own though and the title will grow on me. I disliked the title NEXT LEVEL for a while, it sounded cheesy, but it grew on me.

Well xD There's one but people are still really posting their hate post on other threads.

Um... don't people have the right to dislike whatever they want? I'm sure you haven't liked everything Ayu has done.

[JackieRos]

that's why we have the ignore list or just don't read the post duh
oh and I'm not complaining about this thread I'm just sayin'

that would have worked if she named it ayumi instead of ASFX
actually A Song For Ayumi looks catchy

[Misa-chan]

Songs, PVs, covers, everything else aside, I don't really like this title. Because it's Rock'n'Roll, and I'm not that much into her rockish side.

Yeah, I prefer the elegant classy beautiful POP Queen style.

That's all lol.

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

I believe that for a singer the coice of an album title is a problem of style.
This time I don't understand her choice at all. The style doesn't match with singer i followed for more than 9 years.
maybe she will change my mind while listening the tracks but...

When talking about it we would refer to it as Untitled or Ayu's 12yj album (there wouldn't be any text on the cover except for Ayumi Hamasaki), and it would be announced as untitled. After listening to it you can name it yourself.

^ That's a good idea. I would name it Ayumi. I think Ayu needs a self-titled album.

I'm not saying that I hate or like the album title, honestly I don't care about it.

If I remember correctly nearly all of Ayu's Album (in not all) of them have a title on the CD used for the album's title its self. Of course the exception being Best albums, Remix Albums, etc.

Guitly - Guilty
A Song for xx - A Song for xx
I am... - I am...
Duty - Duty
Secret - Secret
(miss)understood - (miss)understood
Memorial Address - Memoria Address
Next Level - Next Level
Nothing from Nothing - Nothing from Nothing

Rainbow and LOVEppears are the only albums to my knowledge where there isn't a track on the album with the album's title. I am not going to say that Rock'n'Roll Circus will be like this, simply becuase not myself nor anyone else at the moment know enough to even say whether or nor the album's tilte will even be a track on the album its self, which honestly wouldn't surprise me if it was.

but that's just the title. and with the singles, nothing to me says rock and roll circus. they're all ballads. D: and hopefully the only ballads on the album. I think if we took green/days off NL, and put it with yw/b. on a whole separate album, we might have some continuity.

Ugh. That's what I felt when I found out the title. I'm not really getting the connection between the ballads on the album, and "rock'n'roll" or "circus."

Besides that the title just seems kinda off for Ayu, who's had other more thought out titles. No matter how "rockish" she's become, the term rock'n'roll doesn't scream Ayumi like ballad does. It could be because I dislike her more rock-influenced songs, but I do not want another Secret/Guilty.

an album has to have similarity. Even if the album songs were all rockish, having sunset, you were, ballad, etc. would be so out of place. it wouldn't work.

Why would she release two ballads and then announce an album title that sounds like it would have high-energy songs?

[GRACE]

You were... sorta fits tbh, it has rock elements in it with the guitars and such. It's probably the ONLY single that fits the rock 'n' roll theme, just barely,.

[Kanzaki]

Which is why about 8-10 of the songs will fit the theme, the ones she's been recording since what, January? Can't remember. Oh well.
It was the same thing with NL, hardly any of her previously excisting singles at that point matched that whole electro-futuristic-disco thing she wanted NL to be. But it turned it pretty damn nice imo. The whole album had an amazing flow, and the interludes/instrumental parts linked together the songs nicely. I'm sure RnRC will have the same thing going on.

i think they basically meant that this really does not sound like a song title, so they were correct in stating it's not a track that will be heard..
