Yes. This.

So the shoot was done in New York when she was shooting the 2012 calendar. I wonder if she's going to explain the cover concept to JELLY or bea's UP.

OMG in a suite...

Im quite shocked that there's no original CM for this album?! Where's the.. "Hamasaki Ayumi New Album - Party Queen...coming soon"

[RayJason]

Yeah I am also wondering. Not to sound rude but ayu's team (or avex, or whatever and whoever is responsible for it) are SO BAD at promotion! I seriously want to slap them.

[emi♡]

Avex seems to suck lately. They didn't promote koda either...

and idk I was in some random artist thread the other day and people were complaining about non-promotion...

who they hell are they promoting then? lol

[freedreamer]

Thats true. no idea what they are doing. They set up a Facebook account for ayu and that's the end of it. They'd better do something about that FIVE. It doesnt even have Ayus basic information gosh.

Actually honestly in Japan, besides maybe ARASHI, AKB48, Johnny's..are other artistes majorly promoted?

[truehappiness]

Well, it's pretty common that Ayu's team puts stuff up (English/Chinese sites, MySpace, Facebook) and kind of leave them without updates until they need to use them again.

They seem to just need more people who are on top of things.

[PrincessJenni]

Just curious, but can anyone put the scans from the Party queen booklet up? I'm getting my hair cut on thursday and i'm thinking of getting it "Ayu" short lol.

Any bets she'll have long hair in a months time -_-'

[truehappiness]

Actually, her hair is already 'long' and she's basically sporting a long pink wig now. I think it's going to be her look for HOTEL Love songs.

This. You'd think they'd put more effort in, considering all they care about is money.

wow Party queen was arranged by tasuku

[KPL]

no wonder the sound in party queen is bad, tasuku certainly doesnt know how to do real electronic music... wish cmjk could have done that one.

[truehappiness]

I dunno, I thought he did a pretty good job of making a sparkly electro song. CMJK is a lot better at it though, I guess. Most of Ayu's electro tracks in the past were CMJK-arranged after all.

Yeah I agree, but actually what makes Party queen the song worse is the mixing...

ahh no wonder it's so flawless.

[truehappiness]

No energy? In Party queen? Ehhhhhhh?

tasuku arranging the song doesn't mean he mixed it. I wonder if it was Koji Morimoto or someone that they've never used before.
