In this February, I wrote a post named “Here We Stand in the FictionJunction” for my loved FictionJunction YUUKA (after: FJY.) from now on, how much fruits that FJY got?
April 18, 2007, the seventh single “romanesque” was released;
July 4, 2007, the second album “circus” was released.
The two CDs were must get new signs in the road of FJY.
About “romanesque,” I have talked it in this April in one of my diaries which named “The Romanesque End of this Spring”, so this time, our theme is on “circus”!

Merely listen to the music, the fit scene can float into our minds. Maybe it is one kind of the so-called “force of music”?
From 2 months after “romanesque”, I awaited for “circus”. Like the last album “destination”, there are about half of songs in the previous singles in the album, but the new songs do are very beautiful!

track 1. circus
The name of this song is the same to the title of this album. The prelude listened very summer-like. This type of arrangement made me thought out one of Saeko Chiba’s song “Melody”. The chorus or arrangement also, made out a calm mood.
Color of this song: the red-orange color of sunset
Image of this song: “In a summer day, we were still little children. From the end of a circus, we were on our way home. Looked up to the sky, it was a very very red sunset sky. We said ‘Bye-bye’ in the crossroad and continued our way.
Bye-bye, see you tomorrow…”

track 6. pleasure (よろこび)
The percussion instrument made a fresh and fickle atmosphere though this song has a calm arrangement. And when YUUKA sung “奏でる歌は薔薇の色 (the song is sung, its color is rose) ”, somewhat, I found little shadow from “blessing” (^_^. However, there is a little likeness between the two songs, the whole feeling of this song is not any like “blessing”. Like the mean of title, there is some unspeakable pleasure in this song.
Color of this song: the sparkle rainbow color of star night
Image of this song: “In the night which we watched circus, I got a dream. That was a very beautiful dream. You, and I, we were in a magnificent star-steamship. To view the splendid star-night, we saw the twinkling stars. I was really happy.”

track 7. the shining desert (光る砂漠)
This is another very summer-like song. In the title, there is the word “desert”, but why I can feel the cool gentle wind in the summer dusk?
Color of this song: the far dancing golden color
Image of this song: “Suddenly, we saw a desert. It was shining in distance. It was very dazzling. The light seemed liked wanted to stop our travel, and not want to stop my dream; the light seemed wanted I could always stay with you, even it was only in my dream…”

If to listen the three songs in serial, they are unexpected match to each other!
track 9. piano (ピアノ)
In the whole album, I love this song best. The sorrowful notes flowing out from piano, and drop onto my heart in grains. In the long intermezzo, the arrangement which mixed with piano and cello is wonderful! This sensation likes one is yearning something deeply. Piano, cello, and YUUKA’s voice, only use the three elements, Kajiura-sensei made out one art song.
Color of this song: the blue color when musing
Image of this song: “Some years later, we were no more children. Where are you staying now... from my room I can see the sea. Every time when I play the piano, I always gaze the sea, then I will think about you. And… the melody what I always play, is that one you ever taught me. Surely, the notes from my piano adorn the deep blue sea, but why I feel so much sad and sorrowful…”

track 10. June is Your Eternity (六月は君の永遠)
Arranged only by piano, this song is another art song. From it, we can feel the transparency of YUUKA’s voice more and more.
Color of this song: the green color when we encounter again
Image of this song: “At last, we encountered again. We stayed together again. Everything happened in this June. And from now on, we swore each other, we will not be apart again…”

Excepting the new composed songs, there are also two mix versions of previous single songs in the album. They also have wonderful arrangements! Especially is in “Romanesque”. Some new lyrics are added into the song. The new lyrics made “romanesque” dimmer and mistier. Although the other part of this song is same to the original version, everyone had better listen to “romanesque-Full Size Mix” please, even only for the new added lyrics!

FJY made lots of beautiful colors from “circus”. And they can make out more and more splendid colors since “circus”. We FJY-fans so praying too. Wish FJY can always compose the most beautiful shine and colors.
