I want translations for NaNaNa and Shake It!
|
Those numbers do not reflect final sales. Someone said they don't even include pre-orders. I think Ayu still has a really good chance of outselling Acid Black Cherry. :yes
|
Can anyone who's got their copy rip the album in FLAC if possible, please?
|
i cant wait to get the power of music upload!
im almost shaking in my chair... lol Also... first day sales ( on a holiday no less) I dont think will have that big effect... I would be surprised if the sales drop tomorrow. |
I just managed to track and my copy is still in Japan *sobs*
|
Since it doesn't look like that the photos taken in London for the album were not used at all. I wonder if they will pop up on something else or was it like I am... and ayu scratched the old photo shoot for the album for a new one
|
I'm optimistic about sales, they can still raise.
And don't worry about chart position, I think today will be #1 soon :yes. I mean, could be much worse if she were debuting at #98 with just 1000 copies sold lol. |
I'm very sure ayumi will be able to outsell ABC in the long run despite the early sales . I don't think max matsuura is dumb to get both of them to release their albums on the same week , especially since ABC's music is released via Motorod which's a sub division label of avex & that max executively produced ABC's works from SPELL MAGIC til now
If that's so , both their albums will not released together on the same week . ABC has never been a threat to anyone that much if you look at his/their past charting performances for his/their singles if not albums Discography wise , ABC doesn't have any #1 hit's for their singles/albums , the closest he/they always get is #2 |

I kind of see this turning out like GUILTY but not as stable since that was the last time they released an album a day early due to holidays. |
OMG look at ayu's last.fm chart! All of Party Queens songs are there, and the listener numbers are stunning! SO HIGH! :D
|
too bad that doesnt translate to sales...
|
I think people need to relax and wait for tomorrow :)
I GOT MY COPY TODAY! :D WOOT LOVED LOVED LOVED THE MIDDLE PART OF THE ALBUM AND RETURN ROAD MADE ME ORGASM THE ENTIRE TIME!!! Need to get used to the first part and the last part is okay >.< I don't like jazz music so it's hard but i'll learn :3 THE PV for REturn Road is epic! and I'm in love with HBYA now with it's PV the PV for nana and Shake it are terrible >.< but wtv GO AYU! :) |
I thought first day sales are usually on wednesdays?
|
^ I also thought so :yrolleyes
Anyways, let's wait how things turn out today. |
today is Wednesday over there right?
|
yeah but, it's barely noon over there...the day's not even over. :shrug
|

|

Sooo... 26 REQUESTS right? Doesn't means she's going to be doing all of them... |
She got requests! Ahhhh Ayu's still well-loved by Japanese media :)
hope it reaches out to the general public as well. i believe this is her first time speaking out about whatever that has happened..hope it generates interest |

Quote:
Even if she ends up attending just 5 of them, it'll be more than enough for me. :D |
Hopefully, there is MUSIC STATION SPECIAL in that 26 requests. :D

EDIT:
Wait a second, rereading that sentence again, I think she said that she has already done that 26 interviews... Quote:
:faint :faint :faint :faint :faint Now she just needs to sing some songs live, and promotion will be perfect!! ^^ Someone, please help double check with the kanji. I don't want to disseminate wrong info and get everyone excited for the wrong reason... Spoiler:

run i say! run!!! |
the girl is on a roll!
I wonder if this will help pick up sales in next few weeks... imagine getting a number 1 album in the 2nd release... |
26 Σ(￣。￣ノ)ノ
awesome!!! |
Hoo she already interviewed? Great, then all we can do now is praying that PQ have a significant increasing selling (not so significant I guess). Amen for that.
|
Did she do it overnight? she said it was dark..and then...she came out and the sun was up?
|
Is it possible Timmy was included??
A few days ago he wrote on Twitter that he was done shooting at night... or maybe I misunderstood?! |
26 interviews, that's much!
But interviews, right, so no performances. And most of them online? Hm, don't know, how much of an impact it will have... Though I hope we get some more insight! :yes |
Quote:
|
wow, can't wait to see these tv-programmes!
|
Hope to see some tv performances
|
She did 26 interviews... IN ONE DAY? That's impressive!!
|
Party Queen is growing on me and so is The next LOVE :) woot so happy!
|
Quote:
Didn't someone mention it was for local stations, or something? Are they all TV interviews? Or are some radio? |
It says she received 26 petitions, not that she did all of them ._.
|
Quote:
and honestly, if she did, how could she avoid saying the same thing over and over, lol! |
Quote:
There's also a radio tour next week where she'll do radio interviews for the first time since Rock'n'Roll Circus or NEXT LEVEL? |
I can't wait to see all of them! :)
BTW. I hate how everything went for this album. Lack of promotion = my main problem, though that will be taken care of soon I think (26 interviews approx). And another thing is how we still have those LQ covers, I mean like come on :/ I want 1000x1000 or even 2000x2000 px covers not the sad 500x500 or 400x500. |

im getting my album in less than 2hours!!! gonna listen to it twice completely before giving a verdict and review :)
|
Typed out the music credits for the album.
Should be accurate. Tell me if anything is wrong or missing and I will fix it! Spoiler:
Interesting to note that the strings guy Ian Burdge has worked with a ton of artists recently including Florence and the Machine! |
^Thanks. There are four songs composed by Timmy.
|
^yes and two of them are really really good...
the other two... not my cup of tea! (hehe) |
Timmy will be able to live off the money he'll make from this album (maybe not as it's more Flop Queen than Party Queen but w/e), he has royalties in pretty much every song.
|
Oh, the guy on guitar for Return Road (Takehito Shimizu) was part of HAL when it was still together. I wonder if him working alone is proof that HAL is no more as a duo.
|
Wow Timmy appear in every song...
|
TA stop to make screensavers T_T
|
^
........................... ; (((((((((( I thought we could get HQ covers |
I honestly dont get why Ayu couldnt do whisper in eyes, smoke, magic
|
When's the HK release? Gonna go fly to HK and get one. Bullcrap all this pre-order hassles on YA.
idek what to say about PQ first day sales. Oh good lord please give the woman what she deserves. :( |
Anyone ordered Party Queen from Amazon, what is your order status?
|
Quote:
|
^ Shipping Estimate is still 21 March, but my copy has not shipped yet.
Just checked all Party Queen are In Stock. |
My copy from amazon shipped, and apparently left Hong Kong a while ago. It claims that it should be here today...but we'll see.

Those people really are at the forefront of the international music business like the promotional texts said. Some have worked with people like Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Duran Duran, U2...theres even composers of actual, acclaimed classical music and arrangers for operas and orchestras in there working on the strings arrangements. Whoever said it were tacky, wannabe classical influences because of Timmy fails since at least some quite clearly weren't.
|
I'm getting really mad and angry xD
I think this album should had be on the #1 place selling a lot...japanese people doesn't appreciate...good things >_____< |
My box from amazon still hasn't shipped...like wtf
|
Don't know if this applies to Amazon or anyone else for that matter but CDJapan has the box sets available 3-7 days after the release date.

Some of the people behind the tracks may be working with people making high quality, unique and really good music now (e.g. Florence and the Machine), but you need the whole team to be. Like that DJ's comment someone posted, he doesn't work with her because she doesn't sound "contemporary" anymore. Even if I like her music, it does sound like it could have come out years ago or sounds like it's playing catch-up. I love NaNaNa and Shake It♥ but it's because they sound so dated and it adds to the cheesy trashy-ness lol I don't think they were meant to be, considering how they pushed the album being so forward looking. Is that a bad thing? Not really, but when there's people making the same kind of music a lot better it is. That is subjective though. Songs like "the next Love" and "Eyes, Smoke, Magic" are timeless because of the showtune genre, but stuff like NaNaNa, Shake It♥ and Party Queen is so easy to ruin. The middle of the album is just standard Ayu Jpop, which is pretty hard for her to get wrong. |

let Ayu do some music with William Orbit
or I honestly think that Lana Del Rey's Born to Die album is purely amazing and I adore it a lot. so many songs, but each could be a very powerful single (maybe except 2 or 3) :) I think I like that kind of music now I think the kind of Dark Paradise off Lana's album is very good for Ayu :) although this is my personal taste, as I do love the album, but hate Lana's personal performaces aka lives and many other stuff about her as well. |

You do need people who have experience though, and it is a privilege to work with people who defined the past. However, you don't want your track to sound like what came before, because people will just listen to what happened then. I think Love Songs did it well, it evoked an older Jpop nostalgia but with a contemporary feel - like Last Angel. It was very Loveppears but without sounding dated and better production. TK + 2010 style music. I don't know WHY it just doesn't work here, I think it is because it's easier to mess up a dance/pop/party track than a ballad (even though I dislike HBYA it's not bad, I just like her other ballads more), midtempo track or very Jpop-esque song (like Last Angel). Maybe she lost all her luck on Sparkle lol |
i dont know if this has already been discussed, but has anyones amazon order been shipped out yet if your ordered from there? I ordered from amazon but it has not shipped yet! any info is appreciated :)
edit: i see above someone from amazons hasnt shipped... so i guess they just havnt shipped anyones yet? |
^I don't know this time,but when i ordered A CLIP BOX from amazon it was shipped 4 days after the release date...
|
My box arrived at my city but since it's weekend it may delay the arrival to my house to Sunday-Monday. lol
|
Quote:
|
oh, I ordered from CDJapan :P
|
amazon hasnt said anything about my order yet...
I will be seriously pissed if they decide they cant fill the orders. |
Quote:
|
^ what?
|
Encore press, like for NL USB and RnRC Box ^^
I hope YA upgraded my box to Express shipping, so maybe I can get it tomorrow, because tomorrow is my birthday^^ |
but are exactly the same boxes?
|
I think so, as they weren´t a special first press (aside from the ayupan ap)
|
thanks :)
|
man really annoyed that amazon.co.jp hasn't shipped my box. can't really be mad I guess, considering my total including shipping was only $200, so if I had ordered from CDJ and gotten it on release date with their fedex shipping, I would have paid AT LEAST $100 more.
