And even the song "Party queen" doesn't speak of loneliness and sadness, but only about having a good time and getting drunk!
I'm sure someone would have thought of it...

And then they'd be shot down by just about everyone. Nothing new.

I'd say that the song Party queen is NOT trying to convey that loneliness and sadness (I doubt NaNaNa and Shake It♥ do either because remember how many people were like "What the heck are NaNaNa and Shake It? THOSE ARE NOT AYU TITLES.") but the rest of the album probably does. My interpretation of the theme as it might apply to the music on the album is that she is going to show us that "fun/happy" side to being a Party Queen or whatever before plunging us into dark-Ayu-land full of self-doubt and loathing. There's probably going to be a very obvious progression going on in the actual album (maybe the booklet too?) and just because you can't see that in the covers immediately doesn't mean that the meaning isn't there.

I imagine he was probably pissed off because people didn't realize that this was Ayu they were talking about. Do you really think that she would do something like this without a purpose behind it? (I don't count single covers so... I hope we don't get started on -those-)

I LOVE this concept but I do wish that she had executed it better. Why did it have to look like a prototype when it could have looked finished?

I think the people who wanted to say that used either いい or 良い when they described the covers.
