Party Queen review
YOu guys, I think Ayumi is probably depressed and has been since she was young (warning, I'm
nooo psychologist or psychic idol whisperer). This in IMHO!!! She was abandoned at a very young age by a man, her father and she has no real memories of him. Her mother seemed to woirk a great deal of time time, who on her own worked to support herself, her mother, and Ayu herself. Her grandmother watched her the most, though I'm not sure how much of the time (A Rockin' in Japan interview from around the A BEST release that is on masa's site that she would wait after school because her parents couldn't pick her up). She sometimes worked modeling jobs (in fact, she started in childhood) and made money for herself, but she stated not having alot of friends since she was on school and that she wasn't willing to play coy with directors in order to gain more attention. She just always was lonely and has talked about it, and I don't think she liked this but got used to it. She then made more friends prior to dropping out of high school because she didn't necessarily think she needed things taught to her in school that were going to be useful to survive. She moved from Fukouka toTokyo to model, and has never really indicated to hae had a group of friends that was large. Then shennanigans (TV acting jobs, singing on V, and making a ****ING RAP ALBUM) ocurred but she ultimately met Max Maatsura and eventually was signed on to make music. While writing letters to Max, he said her writing was very mature and asked her to write her own lyrics. She began to, but even at her debut her song "poker face" was marked by the death of her grandmother, who she couldn't spend her last days with because of recording said song (she rarely performs this). The rest of her singles were all safe pop-rock songs, but nearly all of these songs dealed with a negative aspect like anxiety or depression and hesitation. Her promotional songs before her album debuted were Hana, A song for xx, and POWDER SNOW (the latter two being very well known within the fanbase; POWDER snow is a desperate cry for help lyrically, and A song for xx is one of her signature songs and probably her signature song within fandom). I believe THIS was what shot her debut to #1 for 4 weeks; her ability to convey these feelings of negativity and have the courage to sing about it in all honesty about it at the same time. Afterwards, her carrer shot upwards with LOVEppears' singles, making her single A sell close to 2 millions and her previous song Boys and Girls sell a million copies. (A/N: I had a bowl of... CEREAL and think "Wake me up" should've TOTALLY been a summer single with the rest of the Maro trilogy. This is mah **** *fistpumps*!!! And Part of Me is her best video, forgiveness her most beautiful song and that Party Queen is the cheesiest, crapiest and funny song evahr! Makes it scary how the explanation behind the song gives is such scary undertones!!! So yeah, her getting married and clinging to new people and including dancers it just shows how lonely she is. Lonery queen indded. And its sad, and I feel so bad for her. PARTY QUEEN REVIEw <3 1. Love Song; to have listenedto something good before Party Quina ruins my eardrums. Her voice is so strong and confident! Even if its shaky at points. The acoustic guitar really makes the song and the guitar is EPIC at the very end. 2. Party Queen: Gross at initial listening, it sounds like a crappy mornung and koda kumi would sound. Cheesy, kawaii... blergh. Its like a half assed idol debut song, for real. The music is a cheesy synth or something and has no charm to it, and sounds empty somehow. but at the end her weird coyote laugh scared. the crap out of me. ???? out of 5 lonely queens 3. taskebab: Yeah, I deleted those crappy songs before it! Wanna know why? Cause they effin' suck! This interlude sounds like guitar hero but in a cool-ish trippy way? Idk... But its alright. 4 out of 5 lonely quens 4. Call- its like the ugly little sister of Heartplace; missing all the awesome **** about it. and mixing Michelle Branch to it. Heartplace reminds me of something epic like a setting sun, and this... to roasting a marshmallow over a trashcan bonfire. 3 minutes in i had to quit. 1.5 out of 5 lonely queens 5. Letter- the music reminds me of how some of her songs sound like Gackt-lite. Sort of artistic, too much to be simple pop but failing to reach the potential. Even her vox sounds like Gackto the vampire... they both actually remind me of vampires. 2.5 out of 6 lonely queens 6. reminds me: Eww, pretentious orchestra in a pop song rears its head!!! Hm, sounds like a grown-up Taylor Swift at first... but good. Serene, almost pretty. They add guitars and it sounds like a parody of Hoobastanc. Then the guitar solo turns ito a Poison sob. I meant "song", but its still accurate. 3 out of 5 Lonely Queens 7. return road- Sounds alot better than any of the shitfest above. Its seriously between (miss)understood- Secret good which is kind of unbelievable. then it turns into aPhantom of the Opera parody. That and Timmah wellard ruins the songwith his BELTING. And don't get me started with the photo of her and Mannie in the video (talk about tacky ass ****). 2.5 out of 5 Lonely Queens 8.Tell me why- yeah, i deleeted all the other songs because they are as hot as Olivia Lufkin's career (meaning freezing. Like In a glacier). Its sort of like a ballad with r&b sounds...? I dunno. All I know is that this song is diarrhea in the musical form. -(all the #1s Ayu has collectively) out of 5 Lonely Queens |

Party Queen album was actually pretty good to me. I have to admit it's not one of the best, but good enough for me to enjoy.
I honestly dont understand why that album was called the crappiest album. like seriously people, dont you get bored if all her albums are ballad songs and heavy metal, etc ?! sometimes it's good for a change of style. plus working with Timmy, her songs and concerts have more "american-style" now. Im not making any sense. but to me Party Queen was good. |

Lol, this was funny to read but I have grown to accept most of the songs I disliked from this album. Still think call and Letter are campy garbage, and I hated the interludes.

for me one half of this album is really good (NaNaNa, Tell me Why, Reminds me, Return Road..HBYA too I guess) and then the other half is the worst stuff she's done.

I always wonder how people will look back at such albums in 40 or 50 years when they are long time over all this musical stuff.

I'd forgotten about Party Queen 40 days later, I don't need 40 years.
