I like the fact that the cover and booklet makes her seem glamorous, like what she is supposed to be. Had they put any image of her looking depressed and shit, it would have seemed too obvious to me. And others would think she just wants pity. I like that the whole aspect is left to the music. I think it shows well in the lyrics of the songs tbh. That's why I stan for songs like eyes, smoke, magic lol. I like lyrics that don't quite go with the music.
But the most obvious thing was just the shift in style. Like, parties over, and when it starts again, it's still kinda not happy.
I wish they had done more with music videos. Though image is something to be careful with. Like, especially when it comes to sincerity. Otherwise, it will look ridiculous and awkward like the snowy kiss PV.
Anyway, everyone could have different opinions on how they think it should've been executed whether or not it would have been easy to do so.
I don't know how people didn't get it. Honestly, there would have been a meltdown regardless of how that album was executes because it is ayu and because of that concept.

Yeap, I love how Party Queen isn't all dark, on the same way I love how Ayu usually isn't all dark or all light... Even her most straightfoward music tend to be on a gray area emotional-wise that IMO make them more complex than your everyday popstar, and more realistic too. Partying in order to ignore your problems isn't just a dark situation and isn't only made of sadness, tears and depression.
But yeah, the PVs sucks.
