The last time she tried to immerse in rock, we got sunrise, sunset, SLT, the meaning of LOVE...
It's little funny because these song are all but rock XD

She can sing SURREAL/EVOLUTION/UNITE/ENDLESS SORROW/NEVER EVER/Progress/Mircrophone/talkin to myself/decision/Is this love/even a qong for XX & hanabi ep II etc... all these songs are popular and have rock influence !

Well, you remember the 'circus' aspect of that title too, right? Plus she had singles in the way so it's not like that album was going to be 100% rock.

Well, when u title ur album "Rock n Roll Circus", you put it under the impression it will be a mix between rock and circus, not half/half... And she herself said on a interview at the time that she soul is so filled with rock, everything she sings turns into rock, or something like that.

Also, japanese are less strict about mixing musical genres than we are on the west... If she enters the stage with a rock-chic attitude, as she almost always does, she can get way singing almost anything from her repertoire.

Still, I'm not expecting obscure tracks... maybe we will have one or two surprise tracks, but I bet most of it will be hits + stuff she is promoting this year...

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.”
-translation by Misa-chan

I thought she explained it pretty well. "Weird and a whole bunch of other things mixed together" especially for the tracks that may not fit under the 'rock' title.

For most of her tracks that are not 'super sweet' or a 'soft ballad', they do kind of end up becoming rockish in a way. Would be very interesting to hear a rockish version of Sunrise though. (She needs to perform Ladies Night ~another night~ already.)

Well, STEP you isn't really in the vein of 'super sweet' imo... at least the performances I'm thinking of. It can veer into that weird nasal territory though.

I'm thinking more Thank U/EnergizE and the like that usually make her nasal voice come out.

I love (well, hate) this really weird notion Ayu has that filming something in London makes it edgy, cool and rock... it seems like she had this preconception in her mind with with all the London songs on RnRC & PQ. Combined with those tutu and leather outfits, it's such a tourist shop Primark Union Jack tack look. Tacky I'm-so-cool-because-I-wear-****-from-Camden-market style... but in Hackney because it's up and coming and just lol at Ayu wearing that look in Hackney and Ministry.

It's just... funny. Really funny.

That is all I have to say about Ayu's recent rock adventures.

I think that's probably more her location scouts' problem than anything. She does have a feeling about London though that it isn't as 'bright' as NY/Hawaii/LA which I can kind of understand.

This is so unexpected, but at the same time I'm looking forward to it .
I know people would hate me for this but I wish she will perform Humming 7/4 lol. It's so upbeat and rockish, much more than other MY STORY pop-rock songs as GAME and About You imo. Don't know why people hate it so much .

^ me too.
it honestly should just be her and the band -no props, no dancers.
Maybe a costume change or two, but nothing too over the top.

I hope she sings 1LOVE <3

I would love a heavier version of evolution. Slow down the tempo, especially for the chorus. evolution with the feel of talkin' 2 myself would be sick as Hell!
