yeah her voice was awful in the live. it's much better in the studio version.

I really like the rip of Party queen, the laughing at the end didn't bother me that much either. The music does get a little repetitive toward the end, but I think this song would be great for a remix version or with heavier dance music

:happy1:

The more info I get about this album, the happier I find myself. I can't wait to hear it, I think it's going to be great. I just wish I had more patience.

"sekai wa kira kira", "Saturday night" and "I'm your party queen" are parts of the song I can't stop singing in my head or out loud lol.

im consistently walking around the house singing party queen...
lol.. my roomies think im crazy!

*i am your party queen*

People really do seem to be interpreting Party Queen's ending laughter as creepy, and, I don't really know what I think of it, but I really don't get the sense that it's creepy. Just me I guess.

^ me either. it sounds more like just people having fun, a bit like the ending of Sunrise or smth.

Is it just me or does ayu sound somehow autotuned in the beginning of the song?? In a bad way??

also I think the laughter is supposed to be drunk laughter.... on purpose.. .so it's a mix of creepy in there but still having fun~

well, for me they sound rather creepy :/ like WONDERLAND laughs. Sunrise ones was really like people having fun. PQ ones are.. barely human lol.

It's just my opinion though :yes

Yeah I've been blasting Party Queen on my speakers for the past day..... Do not give a crap about my neighbours :D

What was creepy for me was the kids on My Story... i think it was WONDERLAND...\
that was creepy.

Loving everything off of Party Queen so far! Looking forward to HQ rips! :love

it's not creepy to me, but it's not fun or happy either...

and what's the deal with the low monotone one that comes last. Weird ayu, weird lol

the end laugh is creepy for me, I like the live version it sounded more lively

but I am sure it will sound wayyy better in HQ since Namie's radio rip of Go Round and the pv rip, were really different for me

I can see where people are coming from with the comments about how the laughs are "creepy", but I didn't think anything of them before people pointed it out. I still think they're just carefree laughs after a night of laughing and drinking. The album isn't supposed to transition into dark melancholy until a couple tracks later, right?

did we have news that ayumi said there was going to be a track with kids in it...
is this it, or do we have another one coming?

I dont know how people can think that Party Queen (song) has a secret meaning. It's juts a party song xD

It is the first time ayu post her TA Daily on behalf on her "Ayumi Hamasaki & A Staff". The daily is regarding the 311 earthquake.

A rough translation:

Greetings.

I think everyone knows what we are asking for.

I think everyone knows what are we praying for.

On the 11th March last year, we are creating HOTEL LOVE SONG.

This is 11th March, we are re-creating the HOTEL LOVE SONGS.
During the rehearsals, we torture by our memories and feelings.
However, Japan has taught us how to be strong and keep going. It just like someone keep pushing you at the back. And you are not yet a loser.

Therefore, until the last moment, no better what kind of pain we gonna suffer,
We never give up, never compromise,
And we hand in hand, keep cherishing and creating.
The Never-ending dream.
The Never-vanishing dream.

So Everyone.
When you suddenly feel afraid. When you suddenly feel like you gonna cry.
When you suddenly feel panic. When you suddenly feel like you gonna be a loser.

Please listen to my song.
And I will be crying with you.
And I will be laughing with you.
And I will be holding tightly with you.

From TeamAyu A & STAFF DAILY

It is a really touching daily. I hope Japan will get recover very soon!
Pray for them,

this part feels so surreal and meaningful. Ayu's trying to have the image that time stopped and its time to move on from what was incompleted. its as though, we must finish what we all started out to do.. :)

ganbatte Ayu! ganbatte Japan!
