'Party Queen' official tracklist revealed on CDTV's ALBUM EXPRESS
 

I am pretty sure this is in the correct order. They played Party queen and how beautiful you are.

01.Party queen
02.NaNaNa
03.Shake It♥
04.taskebab
05.call
06.Letter
07.reminds me
08.Return Road
09.Tell me why
10.a cup of tea
11.the next LOVE
12.Eyes, Smoke, Magic
13.Serenade in A minor
14.how beautiful you are

Eyes, Smoke, Magic HAS to be a full track. Bolded are confirmed full songs. I believe that this might confirm only two interludes for this album. Remember that Ayu said on TeamAyu that she completed 12 tracks.

Quoting her blog entry from back in December translated by Misa-chan (thanks SO much):
However there is the very likely possibility that the '12 songs' included Happening Here. So two or three interludes is 'confirmed' more or less.

^Yeah I hope so. It would be weird of them to put two interludes after each other. (I'm just guessing that Serenade in A minor will be an interlude).

Maybe this means ther her website will give out more info on monday next week? Since TV have started sharing info.

Yay it would be great with only 2 interludes :D

Yay ! Only two interludes means more full songs ! Even though I love most of her interludes, but I'm desperate for her full songs right now ! x)

You know you're not keeping your fan base up to date when we have to find out through CDTV about tracklists. -_____-

But in all seriousness, I hope this is the case!

That's true, but hey... she's gonna have to lift that information ban at some point! I am pretty sure that we should get EVERYTHING by the 29th. It's partially her team's fault for having so much to reveal in one day.

i think it's legit as every other album in the clip has the correct song listing. i'm now scared of the tracks from 5-11, which look likely to be ballads or mid-tempo ballads… i hope i'm wrong

Judging from the ViVi interview, the only ballad on the album is how beautiful you are... but I might have just understood it incorrectly. The middle of the album looks very rockish imo.

PS everytime I see taskebab I can't help but see it as Beelzebub haha.

Amazing.
Party queen would be a great album opening track.

The illuminati! hahaha. The track list to me looks like: fun songs, rock songs, ballads (or maybe just the one) :yes

Eyes, Smoke, Magic very interesting title. and all interesting titles turns into interludes =(

Serenade in A minor is also an interesting title though... only one can be an interlude and she tends to have one right before the ballad at the end, especially recently. It's possible that both of them are full tracks too though!

I wonder what 'a cup of tea' will sound like. I was expecting it to be an interlude at first.

The ViVi interview mentions that the album contains all kinds of genres, ranging from rock, electro, pop and jazz to ballads. It doesn't specify that HBYA is the only ballad.

If it is real tracklist, then really looks like 2-3 interludes

Ah, thanks for the clarification, tenshi no hane!

Judging from the way things are divvied up though, I feel that how beautiful you are might truly be the only true ballad. The others all sort of sound like rock ballads if they're ballads at all.

and I sincerly hope that it will be true.

if "taskebab" interlude "call" need to be full song
and yes, only one from "Eyes, Smoke, Magic" and "Serenade in A minor" may be interlude. Or my be they both full and "the next LOVE" is not

that's my biggest hope

I sure hope there are 12 actual songs, though interludes can have lyrics as well. So until I see the actual file lengths xD I am not getting my hopes up.

Yeah, I think call is for sure a full track.

The only tracks we are incredibly iffy about are Eyes, Smoke, Magic, Serenade in A minor, and a cup of tea. It'll certainly be interesting if both Serenade and Eyes end up as full tracks.

Imo a cup of tea is the best candidate for an interlude, the next LOVE takes the second spot.

Just give us something ayu, some PV preview or covers at least

AHHHH the 'official' tracklist! Hope she may release something on the 0000 of 27th. I cant wait!!! and yea..that whole middle section looks really...dark somehow

edit: what does that Japanese line at the end of the screencap say?

I think it basically says that all of the songs were previously unreleased (physically), or something like that.

Happened in NEXT LEVEL.
All interesting titles are interludes...
Bridge to the sky, Disco-munication, Load of the SHUGYO, Pieces of SEVEN

man, plz let it be only 2 interludes. *crosses fingers* even though I always love her interludes I want more full tracks.

as stated in the 1st post,Ayu said that she recorded 12 songs in london.But she said that she was still recording in japan,didn't she?So,album without interludes???

omg i am so thrilled seeing this! 2 interludes only!! please ayu!!

I think taskebab & the next LOVE are interlude.
a cup of tea sound jazz/bossa to me It's remind me of 恋のつぼみ (A Cup Of Milk Tea Bossa Nova Version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG41iNflAqc

this is cool... I hope they have 12 full songs and only 2 interludes...
although i wouldn't mind more, just dont want them :D

i hope the interlude will be only 2.
can't wait!

I hope cup of tea it's a interlude, but I guess not (it doesnt really sound like a interlude)
title reminds me of something medium like MY ALL+Sweet Season meets jazz/koda kumi swing ;/

An album with no interludes is highly, highly unlikely, as all of the tasuku songs titled task- have been interludes.

I still think there will be three interludes: taskebab, a cup of tea, and Serenade in A minor. Those were the last three on the unordered track list, right?

Wow!! The real tracklist is unvealed!!! :) I hope all of the songs would be excellent :)

if a cup of tea is a full length song, i wonder what it will be about?

a cup of tea looks like an interlude title...

thats what I was thinking...
I think they should be switched
Serenade in A minor would be the song and a cup of tea is the interlude

Does anyone know what episode of CDTV that was on?

^ In latest, I think

a cup of tea may be a song about the compatibility of two people %)

I'm pretty sure the interludes are "taskebab", "a cup of tea" and "Serenade in A minor" but we'll see.
It's impossible for her to put more than 5 full songs without adding an interlude lol.

What's more these 3 are at the bottom of the temporary tracklist so it's obvious to me they classified the interludes after all the full tracks.

wonder if she'll do a mini track...like a 2 min track..with minimal vocals...would that be an interlude? or..song?..i mean, concept album..LOL

So it seems Eyes, Smoke, Magic will be a full song. Because Serenade in A minor looks suspiciously putted before hbya :laugh. Just wishful thinking though :D it's not confirmed.

Anyway if she recordered 12 songs, two will be interludes. I hope that, Serenade in A minor and taskebab screams 'interlude' so much lol.

2 interludes will be exciting! Hope we will get more info on Monday or Tuesday!!

Wasnt the official tracklist we had before official?

I think there will be 2 interludes and one with a vocal (like Jump! etc)

pretty obvi about taskebab though.

I hope this is correct though...NO MORE than two interludes + two already heard songs (if you include Party Queen] = TEN new songs...that's FANTASTIC!

plus there's always the possibility of a hidden track...which of course I'm hoping for ;)
AS LONG AS it's not one of those horrendous covers (Happening Here, or other one, the name escapes me...) I'd prefer NO hidden track to those...

No =) that was mentioned in last line -> Tracks not in order

taskebab for sure, it's like the others interludes from past albums "taskinst, taskinlude...." it's pretty much the same loool
I want a cup of tea for an interlude, this title sounds good for that!

YAY! I didn't mind 4 interludes, but the less the better *-*
I hope the part about the interludes is true!

I was expecting more previews :no !!

Ahhhh only thing to make this better would be an AWESOME intro like Mirror + only two interludes (taskebab and serenade) and a NEW hidden track, something like flower garden or + :)

just wishful thinking though. I know this won't happen...lol except maybe the two interludes and hidden track are possible.

^ I think it was already confirmed that Happening here was the hidden track?
Thanks!
That is true.. I can see her singing about Half and Half... lol

nope, it was with the unconfirmed tracklist from this chinese source, so, we don't have any info about "hidden track" i guess.

yeah, just speculation...we don't even get "confirmations" of a hidden track until we get the duration for each track...because the obvi the last track tends to be pretty long.

i really hope we get a hidden track, but not happening here...
that is not happening... lol

^^EXACTLY. lol

I prefer no hidden track than Happening here, it would ruin me an end of a album, lol xD

^^agree. Like I said, something like flower garden or + would be awesome. or an acoustic version of hbya after it. (I mean I'd definitely prefer a new song to a remix though lol)

For me + is just an extended version of independent, not really a hidden track, but that's just my opinion :yes

Soooooooooooo excited!!!

ditto.

I have no comment right now... But I'm not sure why unlike almost all artists in the world of Japanese pop music why "Team Ayu" puts interludes on her albums - every studio album, to be particular...

Only one ballad would be perfect!

Agreed sister.

^ If Happening Here is going to happen for a hidden, then I would just delete it from the folder/move to another, hbya might be not my favorite song in the universe, but I don't want that after a warm ballad, it's obviously a BAD track, amen. Too bad you can't do that on CD. XDDDD

^Oh totally. Without second guessing it.

because they typically help control the flow of the music.

I like the order :3

if i am understanding correctly, lots of japanese acts put interludes on their albums...

I think some do...but I love the fact that ayu does introductions and interludes. To me, it means she puts more thought into her albums and the sound and feel behind them, and not just slapping a bunch of songs together on a disc ala every western artist I can think of. lol

^ yeah.. I also seem to think that when she puts an album together she also thinks about the concert that she will be performing with it... lol..

uh-huh. RnRC may not be her best album, but its tour is prolly one of the best circus-themed concert Japan had ever seen. Especially 7 days special

every artist in that list has (or have, i can't remember, sorry, XD) the cover, c'mon ayu, please release the damn cover, onegai !

I am hoping for more ballads. how beautiful you are is not satisfying.

^ please only 2 or 3! This is suppose to be a party!

^ yeah if It's a party it's gotta be maybe 2 max.. I hope..
Though I love her ballads, some of them I love so much that I don't even need any more. (Green/Days, You Were../Ballad, Jewel, etc)

On a side note if Happening Here is a hidden track I'll cut it out of the track so fast lol...

LOL... i'll send her a tweet for a refund of 1.29 because that is not needed!
(1.29 is the going rate for a song on itunes, right?)

Hope we will get more upbeat songs! :D

the next LOVE.... maybe a possible reference to is this LOVE?
Maybe a sequel? Hmmm.....

2 interludes? Please, please, let it be true. :yes

i love that Party Queen as the opening track of the album and how beautiful you are as the closing track. my guess is the hbya is the only ballad in this album.
for interludes. my guess is three. but i'm hoping for just two.
taskebab, a cup of tea and Serenade in A minor

^I'm also suspecting three. Mostly because of the way the tracklist was originally posted on the site. taskebab, a cup of tea and Serenade in A minor. It just seems like since these are all the ones we suspect as the interludes, putting them in order at the end kind of makes sense...to me. haha

i guess im the onyl that think Serenade in A minor could possible be a song?

You are not the only, I thought like this from the first time I saw the title. ;) imo, it's a great title for a beautiful ballad.

i agree. i want another ballad because HBYA doesn't quite satisfy me. maybe just one more ballad would be nice. :yes

Weirdly, the title of the album makes me think we will:D:D:D

Hopefully we'll get the covers by the end of this week !

that's what I was thinking... She starts to album all fast and great and ends it in Ballad epicness...
I mean if she can name a ballad BALLAD... than she can name another ballad Serenade... lol

I think (besides taskebab and songs we know that have Pv's) each one of them could be an interlude :P eyes,smoke,magic can be interlude to serenade, and letter can make call a sandwiched song :P we will see.

Exactly! :yes

I still can't get rid of the idea that Letter and call have some kind of connection - they are next to each other in both unofficial and official tracklists (though they changed places in the official one, but anyway...)... but we'll see, just a guess... And I really want the next LOVE be as good and rockish as is this LOVE? :P

It's happening; the day when I finally have made my peace with Happening Here is here.

I hope, if that song is the hidden track, it's an album version or something, anything that would tune down the Godawfulness.

I want the next love to be this HUGE dance track... something like evolution!

I wouldn't mind if Serenade in A minor was a full song (she doesn't usually put an interlude second to last, does she?). It's got a pretty title. I'm just hoping there's not a whole lot of ballads - I'm happy with a couple - but with a title like Party Queen I'm expecting upbeat songs. Ballads would remind me of those alcohol-fuelled parties where someone starts crying and everyone ends up getting frustrated with each other.
I guess it would suit the theme of waking up after a party though. :P

edit: if the next LOVE was like is this LOVE? that would be great. xD Or count down - for some reason the title makes me think it would suit something count down-y.

^ she did reBIRTH second to last!
(but i am with you! I want this to be a full song...)

^ Oh, I forgot about reBiRTH! I quickly looked through my playlists, and untitled ~for her~ is missing... that explains my mistake, haha.
But I think that's the only one second to last. :D

By seeing from tracklist it seems she will start with upbeat songs and then ending with midtempo songs / ballads.
Would be interesting though, because it would represent a real party.

Btw enough with speculation :D we want coverrrrrsss!

I'm totally with you on that! I want some covers, like yesterday!
But I am happy talking about it! lol.. all the different theories on what Ayumi might do!
o.O it is sooo shocking and interesting!

Love the bold part, 'cause thinking of such parties now really made me laugh. A few years back a friend took my mp3 player and heared "Crucify my love" from X-Japan. For some weird reason he downloaded the instrumental and recorded his own version with lyrics he had written. And only god knows why but he wanted to show us the song at a REALLY good party - afterwards most people wanted to hear their favourite emo songs and everybody started crying. The weird part: I was the only girl at this party and the only one not crying. :thud

^ few years ago, I was FORCED to join XJAPAN karaoke on Manga Convention, I sang Forever Love and some people started crying while I only knew the CHORUS and I was singing it all wrong XDDDDDDD

I think, rather than mid-tempo songs, it will flow into something dark and rocky.

Just interlude on LOVEppears, I believe. :)

oh god, I'm looking forward to this like nothing else. AND YAY, THE TASKEBAB TAG LIVES ON.
