(Once my posting is up to 20 I'll be able to post the album artworks) ^-^

Rock'n'Roll Circus is Ayumi Hamasaki's 11th Studio Album. According to the sources of Wikipedia, "The album was released in three different formats, a CD only version, a CD and DVD version, and a box set edition that contains the normal CD and DVD, a 3-DVD set of Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2009 A: Next Level (also released independently on the same day), a mug, red tea packets, and a photobook. The album is certified Platinum by RIAJ for shipment of 250,000 copies."

There were two singles that were released prior to this album for promotion. The first single released was the two songs "You were..." and "BALLAD" both videos with elegant Japanese style and winter themes. Both songs have a very classical sense of sorrow. Thus proving so in the lyrics. Along with these two songs there was an extra song attached titled "Red Line ~For TA~" This song is a very upbeat and happy song. I rather enjoyed it. However the album version put onto Rock'n'Roll Circus was a much better mix.

The other single released was the two songs "Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ and "Sunset ~ LOVE is ALL~" Both songs are sang very similarly. Both songs are amazing. Sunrise is a more upbeat happy song and Sunset is more of a sad song stating a love forever feel.
