Nothing wrong with experimenting, of course, but the problem with Party Queen fuss (in my opinion, anyway) is that aside from Eyes, Smoke, Magic and the next Love (which have equal parts love and hate), nothing on Party Queen is anything out of the ordinary for Ayu. So why are people acting like it's the end of the world? lol

It's like... we got this really trashy concept on the cover and titles, some loved that, some hated it. Then, at the end of it though, the album is just typical Ayu songs. Regardless of whether you think the concept was good, bad, well executed, an excuse for sales blah blah blah, that all becomes irrelevant because it's the same stuff she's always done, dressed up with a more polarising concept that is really detracting from how... ordinary the album is. Is it's "ordinariness" good or bad? Depends on what you like, I guess.

And, like always, rather than address any of it, Ayu is just there like "IT'S THE BEST THING EVER. KAY GUYS NO COMPLAINTS!" (or in this case, Timmy is saying it). Anybody who "doesn't get it" is seen as "well it's your fault", rather than a fault of the product which... you know... even if you "get it", it is IS a valid to say the product isn't doing it's job well. It doesn't matter if you hang onto her every word, or you only see her ass on the truck, a product needs to cater to both of these equally, and Ayu doesn't seem to be considering either, imo.

I just don't get anything anymore. :S Not even sure what my point is here lol lol
