New album 'Party Queen' out 03/21 information thread [IV]
 

I am posting all relevant information in here! Hopefully it helps. If anything needs to be fixed or added, please post it here and I will add it ASAP! I had to make this twice due to deleting it on accident, lol.

**Originally the title of the album was reported as "Party queen" by Kome, but Ayu corrected Kome and said it was "Party Queen". It looks like he sent out the notice before Ayu made the correction.

****COUNTDOWN LIVE 2011-2012 A ~HOTEL Love songs~ is now only one DVD on the album, instead of a CD+3DVD, it is now a CD+2DVD

Tracklist + confirmed order?


Versions to be released


Bonus goods


Etc. tidbits
- Masashi Muto directed some PVs for this album
- it appears that the album cover was shot in London with Leslie in late November (https://twitter.com/#!/lesliekeesupe...34749770022913)
- Timmy composed both Party queen and how beautiful you are
- There is a commemorative photobook coming out on 03/21 [the same day] with special shots not included in the album, it appears it might be 3000yen? (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=334)
- how beautiful you are is being released as a digital single on 02/08 on iTunes with a cover
- it is thought that there are only two interludes due to Ayu saying that she recorded 12 songs in London
- Timmy wrote Party Queen with Ayu in mind
- Ayu mentioned that castings for a PV in a recent tweet (but it is unknown if she was talking in the present tense) so another PV for the album is not unlikely! (She is in fact filming another PV.)
- The spoiler that follows has PV tidbits from the last few new album threads while she was in London recording.
- Party Queen is set to be a PEACH JOHN CM song that will be on air 2/22, Ayu will not be in the CM
- Masashi Muto confirmed that he did indeed film a new PV with Ayu recently which brings the PV total for the album to six PVs, it seems
- David Reitzas mixed and did drums for how beautiful you are
- There's a bit in the ViVi interview that says that Party Queen contains pop, rock, electro, and jazz genres. The album is also called a 'concept album'.
- Children's voices are present in one of the songs
- "TA Limited PREMIUM PREVIEW ~Party Queen~" will be held March 10th in Tokyo. Ayu herself will not attend. Some TA members will have a chance to hear previews of the songs and music videos (in full?)

I do actually. I pretty much only use CDs. Sometimes I listen to a couple of songs in my phone when I'm on the bus but generally I enjoy hearing the real life when I'm outside. And as for inside, my CD player have the best speakers and sound so. I'm all about listening to my CDs all the time! :D Even the singles get's played alot on the CD player.

And yeah, I'm waiting another 1-2 weeks before I expect to see any covers or final track list e.t.c. Lately, she has tended to reveal information closer and closer to the release date so.

whatdafaq? the four best song-titles are interludes?

^ Nothing has been confirmed.... So probably lol

Wow... thread four and no new information... lol
Cant wait for the covers.. but expect them sometime in March... sad... lol.. at least February is almost over!

Wait, so are her pv's done, or she's still shooting?

^^I think she'll be adding one more to the final tracklist.

Yeah do we have any news of the latest shooting ?
Was it actually for a new PV ?

Wow 4th thread already! When will we get more info?? I check TA every day. LOL

they keep us waiting so long... I feel like I'm not so interested in this album now.

Omg I know exactly how you feel. The fun is wearing off. But you know the second they release the covers we're going to be ****ing our pants :laugh

^Same for me, but don't worry,I know the "hype" will be back when they'll show the cover/the first images of the PVs !

^^^welcome to every single album release...

so true! HAHAHHA..even a piece of further-confirmed info will do :D
but lately im so hyped about some other music that time flies..so it doesnt feel so long. I mean, 3 weeks has passed since the announce date and I didnt have that dying feeling as with some other albums

haha :laugh

yeah.. it will be March next week. hopefully we'll get some news then

The wait is so long +1

I re-watched Party queen performance at CDL 2011-12. Hmmm I am not sure if I like it... LOL Hope other songs in the album will be much better!

I buy CDs just for collection purposes...mainly Ayu n_n

yeesh, get a grip. it'll be fun times soon

^ I love watching that! Lol.. whenever i go to youtube I'm like, lets look it up!
I'm still wishing Happening here was not on the track list...
Fingers crossed

We didn't get any other news other than some tweets. One mentioned casting extras for the PV, and another said her staff was getting ready for shooting it the day after she tweeted.
