what? Timmy will be in another ayu's PV???

the more composers the better, I think

I practically have zero expectations for Party Queen because of him. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong, I want to be proven wrong.

^ At least he did a good job on Party queen (and Happening Here) I guess? Okay he didn't... :tipsy

at least brillante and how beautiful u r are good, especially brillante

i'm still very positive towards his composition.

Party Queen sounds nice so far but i hope the arrangement will be as awesome as Sexy Little Things or Sparkle.

All he did for Happening Here was sing that English rap section. It's originally a TRF track after all.

I want to hear the entire album before dismissing him, haha.

^ yep. I want more examples before I say if i don't like him or not...
The few songs that i have hear he sounds promising, but of course those could just be luckie breaks.. lol

As long as Ayu work with new composers, I'm optimistic :D and I liked Party Queen and HBYA so far, so I hope the album will be good like these two songs. Imo

THIS:innocent

I think it's better to have zero expectations for anything =) You will not be dissapointed

I think zero expectations is a bad way to put it. Maybe more like... expect the unexpected? Most often, the people who are the most disappointed are the ones who had a very precise vision of what they wanted and were completely caught off guard by what ended up being the final product.

I wouldn't say that I personally have 'zero expectations' for the album, but I certainly don't really have anything in mind that I want from the album. I'm just happy for new Ayu music.

THIS

I think he somehow took Go-mi's place during CDL, his imige / 'role' was similar to Gomi except that he was singing and not dancing.

As for the album expectation, I had very bad feeling about R 'n' R Circus after Sunrise / Sunset single and Ayu style back then and yet it became one of my favourite albums, the only song I removed from my mp4 is S/S.

So far I like Party Queen (song) and I don't like How beautiful you are (melody is ok, but there's sth about the chorus I don't like, maybe it's the english title line) but I don't think the rest of the songs will be similar to them, I think Ayu will surprise us again :)

I also tend to like ayumi's singles... it's the rest of the album that is up in the air for me...
HBYR is a really good single and I like Party Queen, live... so I'm looking forward to this album!

Well, he said that maybe in pvs,it was for us to stand by and watch :), and some talked on the facebook fan asked about it!

that would be so....western...one single before album, then album, then a couple of singles more, touring and...dead silence for 4 years? um... well if she had a vacation I wouldn't mind...

Ayu hasn't really done a main-recut single in a while (Secret was recut onto glitter/fated and the last ACTUAL recut, Daybreak, ended up getting her a #2 on the singles charts) so I doubt she would do that now.

I think she might do a summer single this year though just in time for the end of HOTEL Love songs.

This era is so confusing and perhaps unknown for all of us lol We don't know what's going to happen for the tour, since it's dragging on from the last album, and with no singles we don't know what to expect.

I hope if the album is actually good, it gets a proper tour, but not next year, sometime this year :shrug But most probably it'll end up becoming the CDL 12-13

I can see her making it into a mini 'tour' and slapping a lot of Party Queen's tracks onto the HOTEL Love songs setlist as she did that with FIVE and the very end of POWER of MUSIC.

She's really messed with her schedule though so I don't think anyone has any clear idea of what will be done. Having the Party Queen tour in 2013 is possible imo, but unlikely.

that would be pretty silly, because I'm sure the sales would be not great. Don't get me wrong, I wish they were, and I wish ayu could still release a single on the same day/right after an album with recut songs and remixes and such, but it just will probably never happen again.
