Oh, I know that. But, since you phrased the question in such a way that sounded like Kuu in person, I was was replying in the same way to just say that "The reason that Kuu always gets brought up is the fault of the crazy fans".

lol fanbase wars.

btw I remember when NL was released and people was so disappointed by so many interludes. But then most of them loved that album anyway (for me as well). I don't want to compare NL to Party Queen, but I think there's a possibility it will happen again.

I still hope the tracklist it's not confirmed though.. just for Smoke, Eyes, Magic ;_; best Ayu title so far. Such huuuge disappoint if it will turns out as interlude.

Well, if it's an amazing interlude I don't think there's a problem there, haha. I still have hope that it's going to be a full track though!

If you have doubts about the album, it might be better to cancel the order until the album actually comes out and then purchase it if you like it. What would you do with the album if you ended up hating it and it was too late to cancel the preorder?

Agree with this...

C'mon guys, we look like some crazy k-pop fans comparing artists on youtube XD

lol everyone hated next level.

I never really understood where the hate came from..
They have two different styles of music...
And people act like if you like one, you cant like the other...
::whisper:: it's like republicans and democrats... lol

Everyone hates Ayu's current release but will love it by the time she releaes the next album. Everyone hated NEXT LEVEL but then loved it when R'n'RC came out, everyone hated R'n'RC but then loved it when Love songs came out, etc. etc.

Everyone will hate this one, then end up loving it.

I didnt care for the arrangements. They were too messy for me.

And I felt the compositions were lackluster, but I thought her style of electro was interesting.

I kinda wanted her to do another album with it though, to see how it could grow.

haters (on anyone) need lives. I love both of them. Of course I love ayu more. But still...they are very different. yall need something better to do

Could these be the covers? I'm not sure, I sure as hell don't recognize these pics.

^^NO WAY.

Dear god.

And wtf @ that tracklist.

^well the tracklist is nothing new...lol

if they're real, they're cute...even though they don't match the title AT ALL.

:no please be fake

With a title like "Party Queen" the covers that are shown don't seem to be reflective of the theme at all. Ayu's covers also tend to be a bit more creative than this to say the least. If these are the covers, this looks to be quite a step back from the "how beautiful you are" cover, and that was just for a digital single. Did this person source where they got this information from?

If there's psychopathic nonsense going on in here it should cease and desist lol. I don't know why people insist upon starting up flame wars between artists. Actually, I don't even know if that's what's actually going on since I'm having trouble keeping track of this thread. :laugh Sometimes the posts aren't even legible...

Anyway, I'm still horribly disappointed with the tracklist. Honestly, my paranoid schizophrenic cat couldn't have come up with worse song titles. That's really harsh, but I don't know what happened to her ability to create unique, good song titles. I don't think I've liked a song title since (miss)understood. "a cup of tea" is the only song title I like. :( I'm really setting the bar low on this album. : / ESPECIALLY if that's the cover. O_o

Although I'm almost positive those photos came from a photo shoot from last year. Yeah, I'm almost 100% on this...

EDIT: found it. http://zyrex.org/gallery/Ayumi1/Ayum...006fd.jpg.html It came from this photoshoot. I'm actually pretty proud of myself considering how out of touch I've been with her photoshoots in the last two years lol.

Scawaii October 2011 :cool

Nevermind, I remember seeing them now that I've stared at them long enough. SCawaii, October 2011.
