ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2010 A ～Rock'n'Roll Circus～ title announced

[Uemarasan]

It's so Britney!

Yeah, sure, because Britney invented the Circus! People seriously need to move beyond what the media keeps feeding them.

[Ayumiko]

I think the circus part means the weird outfits and setting (like the new pvs) for the rock song performances...and not actually mean circus.

[freedreamer]

^yea and I think Circus is simply a description about Variety and Different things which we have not seen before...DONT TAKE THINGS SOOO LITERALLY from ayu especially

[AyuGAME]

after see the preview pics of her up coming pv
i think i can understand why she choose this theme

Hotexpress has an tiny article about the title being revealed.

◆浜崎あゆみ 2010年全国ツアー開催、その正式名称が決定！

　ディズニー映画「ティンカー・ベルと月の石」イメージソング『You were...』と、日中共同制作NHKドラマ「蒼穹の昴」主題歌『BALLAD』の両A面バラードシング ルを昨年末にリリースした浜崎あゆみ。彼女が4 月より全国ツアーを開催するのですが、そのタイトルが【ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2010 A ～Rock'n'Roll Circus～】に決定しました！

　4月10日と11日のさいたまスーパーアリーナ2days公演を皮切りにスタートする本ツアーは、7月2 4日と25日の国立代々木競技場第一体育館 2days公演まで、日本ガイシホール、大阪城ホール、マリンメッセ福岡、横浜アリーナ等々全国各地のホー ル＆アリーナクラスの会場を廻ることが決定。そのタイトルに“Rock'n'Roll Circus”と記されていることから、これまで以上に激しく豪華なステージが予想されます。なお、チケッ トの一般発売日については、詳細が決まり次第アナウンスがあるそうなので、続報を待つこととし ましょう！

Bolded section for the most part, translated by OCN:

The National Yoyogi Stadium first gymnasium where this tours which start with Saitama super arena 2days performance on April 10th and the 11th as a start are July 24th and the 25th Until 2days performance, Hall of NGK Insulators, Osaka-jo Hall, Marine exhibition hall Fukuoka and Yokohama arena etc., to go around a meeting place of a hole in every region of the country and an arena class decides. Because it's recorded on its title with "Rock'n'Roll Circus", a more lavish stage than ever before is expected!. Further, as soon as details are decided about a general sale date of a ticket, it's said that there is an announcement, so I'll wait for a subsequent report!

I thought that line was interesting, haha.

It could just be the writers impression of what the title "Circus" should be like, it doesn't seem like they have some insiders info on the stage or anything. Hopefully though the stage will be different this time.

[ayumimylove]

Interesting :O

I REALLY hope, this Arena will be so cool and different!!

[freedreamer]

Whoa..thats a news report or something? First time i've seen that about an Ayu tour actually. I guess we can really expect something different.
i cant believe its still Feb =.=

[KillTime111]

i`m REALLY excited for this (^-^d. i`m mroe into the rocker ayu. sanks for the info~.

[truehappiness]

This is the first time I've ever seen an article that focuses on the title of one of Ayu's tours though... it's pretty random. I wonder just how tight lipped the PR section of Ayu's team has to be especially since not even a date is known...

[AyUta]

Hm, interesting. I hope it'll be cool, like...really cool this year.

Click to enlarge and prepare to laugh or be horrified at the idea that OMG AYU ISN'T ORIGINAL. Neither is anyone else in that graphic, apparently, and I consider them all very worthy artists. These are all very creative, very talented artists who I have tons of respect for, even if I'm not a huge fan.

No less than THREE releases in this graphic are called, word-for-word, "Rock'n'Roll Circus". The others use a circus/carnival/festival-style look or theme, or have "circus" somewhere in the title.

This theme, like every other theme ever, has been done. Multiple times. Over the last forty years. On both sides of the ocean.

If anyone else mentions similarity in name with ANY other artist's release, tour, dvd, album, song, whatever, I will start killing puppies. Because this graphic right here should just about cover it, right?

^not bad, you also can't forget britney's "Circus", I'm amazed that that is the one I did not see in that list haha.

^LOL poor puppies xDDD (and that without including christina aguilera and britney...)

[amorphose]

@walking.proud & Picaflor 7/4: Two puppies were just slaughtered because of you. :O

[AyUta]

At first I thought it was something to do with ayu's tour or album XD

[gallowsCalibrator]

Aw, no puppies! D:

[polka-dot-jewel]

The majority of us knew Ayu didn't come up with this XD A lot of people were saying this was Britney-inspired, ffs! Plus, in the first post of the title thread, the picture of the Rolling Stones album (which inspired all of the whole "Rock'n'Roll Circus" theme) was posted, and a lot of were saying Ayu most likely got inspired by that.
