Yeah, I thought that too and I for one wouldn't wear a button with the text WHITE on it. Especially not in Germany.

I'd make my (black) boyfriend wear WHITE and I'd wear BLACK, could confuse the Nazis xD

so just realized.. there is still only 4 PV's listen on the DVD.. sad.. i wonder what she has been doing all this filming for!

freedreamer 1st March 2012 03:42 PM

Ayu is being VERY mysterious now. It's getting me intrigued and i dont really care about the covers now. But whenever i see them, I think Ayu's gorgeousness with that slick back hair, smile and even that bod just...doesnt make me see the title and stuff...yea call me a stan or whatever but the fact that she isnt having that ViVi cover face on these covers are already a win... :)

she cant be doing HOTEL Love songs tour videos since those should have been done a year ago and nothing much was shown during the CDL.
I wonder if...she has a maxi single coming? oh gosh...this is really exasperating lol! 3 more weeks...if she has awesome photos in the photobook, i really want it..

:roflmao


I do feel like perhaps the covers, despite having a deeper meaning, maybe aren't supposed to be obvious. Maybe they wanted to stir some controversy? Maybe we need a poll "Who got the deeper meaning of Party Queen covers right away?" because I sure didn't.

still don't getting PartyQueen + naked cover + sadness and loneliness altogether anyway speculations are a loss of time so we will see.

well obvioulsly she thinks that fans are psychic or something cuzonly after she explained, i understood, however i see no CLEAR hint in either the title or the covers. I do get the "party queen" = "popular,famous" relation....makes me think it's like Britney's "Lucky" lol

TeamAyu2004 1st March 2012 04:03 PM

meh! there nice, but I dont think I want to shell out any money for them!

I supposed '0630' represent the last day of June in which Memorial address 'happened' in a way, then after that sad day come 'July 1st' which she sang about forgetting yesterday's tears.

It's also the number drawn in the mirror by lipstick with ayu's posing to had written it

Someone posted that here somewhere

The PLAYBUTTON album covers are superb! I really love those :yes :heart

truehappiness 1st March 2012 05:06 PM

Considering that 0630 was used for "Greatful days", it's possible that she was just referring to that crazy day of partying she tends to do before July 1st. (or was July 1st the day of partying?)

From masa's site:
Quote:

"There are two usual summer events to me. One is the party held every year on June 30, the birthday of the owner of this bar (in Tokyo), when many old friends of mine I can't usually see gather here. To me, that is the one and only unhealthy night of the year, from June 30 to July 1st. (Laugh) ...(omission) ... And the other is the event of watching fireworks after gathering at the shop of my acquaintance near the sea in August every year ...   ("Zappy" Aug. 2002)"
It would make sense since the 0630 was next to Greatful days, which could be considered a psuedo sequel to July 1st now that I think about it.

It's not as memorable as the 'father' explanation though. I personally believe she never got back into contact with her father and neither did her mother, but who knows.

terra 1st March 2012 05:29 PM

^ Ah I see it now
Thanks truehappiness :yes

TeamAyu2004 1st March 2012 05:36 PM

that is a much better explanation than the father thing...!
and it fits too!
July 1st and grateful days... ahh. the good old day!

Quote:

Falling asleep filled with anxiety late one night
I remember having a really sad dream
That morning, my premonition, seeming to break through the silence
Became reality with the ring of the phone

Leaving a scar in my heart that won’t go away
You became a star alone

Goodbye
You’ve gone somewhere where I can never see you again
I can’t take in the coldness of parting forever
I wanted you to say, even if it was a lie
That I was definitely loved by you
Just once would have been enough

The curtain is brought down by a sadness that I doubt will end
The seasons change and cold penetrates my body terribly
But I won’t forget what happened one day in the beginning of summer
This year, the sky carried on doing my crying for me

But, just like a continuing dream
I can’t even cry yet

Goodbye
Not even my last words will reach you
I've learned how horrible the coldness of parting is
I wanted you to say, even if it was a lie
That you didn’t regret the days we spent together
Just once would have been enough

Why do we leave behind memories like that
Until the very end?

Goodbye
You’ve gone somewhere where I can never see you again
I can’t take in the coldness of parting forever
I wanted you to say, even if it was a lie
That I was definitely loved by you
Just once would have been enough

Tell me this is just a story in a continuing dream
And I just haven’t woken up yet
Doesn't sound too partyish to me...

Andrenekoi, that's Memorial address, not Greatful days.



There are so many ways to interpret the numbers, (6th album, containing the 30th single, the date before July 1st, the father theory I just personally don't know if it fits the 'father' thing even though Memorial address (the song) was definitely written about her father much like teddy bear was.

Andrenekoi 1st March 2012 06:12 PM

I know that's not Greatful Days... But really, I find it hard to believe that on a EP that is most likelly one of her saddest releases ever, with one of her most sober booklets and with one of her darkest tittle tracks (and considering all of her title tracks, being one of the darkest, if not the darkest, is not small feat) she pics a date based on a party she waits the whole year to go, that makes her happy, as a symbol of such a sad release.

Of course, maybe the ones who MA was written for died on the same day of the party, what would given the whole EP a double meaning...

Edit: Or that she got to know about that death during the party, what would make sense considering she meets a lot of people from her past there...
