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

how beautiful you are!!! :heart

a new digital single in a week! soooo happy :D it will have a cover, right? and may be some promotion on tv :luv2

truehappiness 1st February 2012 03:20 PM

Uh... not necessarily. Since it's not getting an iTunes release like Together When... did, I'm not entirely sure. I hope it gets a cover though.

YUKARI 1st February 2012 03:27 PM

^ no iTunes release? woow :thud

OK, so then she probably uses this song to promote an album... in March... btw by that time the drama Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi will be almost over Oo

toniayu 1st February 2012 03:29 PM

Well,i'm not going to see anything until i receive my copy (at least i'll try) ^_^

That's usually how things go. I think that's why they're releasing it as a digital single so people can get a taste of it before buying the album.

YUKARI 1st February 2012 03:40 PM

^hmmm I see

they picked up the right song :D

freedreamer 1st February 2012 03:43 PM

the lack of tie-ins for this album is worrying though... >.<

YUKARI 1st February 2012 03:44 PM

^may be they will be revealed later ;)

truehappiness 1st February 2012 03:45 PM

I think she might possibly get one more tie-in before the release date along with the usual music.jp/mu-mo tie ins.

Deep snow 1st February 2012 03:54 PM

*Still crossing le fingers for more songs and PVs on the final track list*

kumiko.koda 1st February 2012 04:00 PM

I will buy this version :luv2

aren't they doing some kind of cell phone thing?

truehappiness 1st February 2012 04:03 PM

Dwango.jp. Fujimemo, mu-mo, music.jp, and recochoku will be offering it so far. Not entirely sure why iTunes isn't an option yet.

http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/120201.html

They specifically call it a digital single.

those are all sites strictly for downloading a song to your mobile device, right?

truehappiness 1st February 2012 04:12 PM

Yeah. There doesn't seem to be a PC option yet though there should be since Happening Here had one.

i hope so! i kind of hate when they do mobile downloads like this. ugh.

truehappiness 1st February 2012 04:17 PM

It doesn't look like Happening Here's announcement linked to iTunes, so perhaps there will be an iTunes release after all, just not mentioned on the main site. We'll see next week, I suppose!

About Happening Here... for all we know, it might be a bonus track. LOL.
