i share with u the same feelings about Party Queen

[xLuna&1LOVE]

^ excuse me?

[ALfromHELLSING]

Party Queen sounds cool, I really like the melody. how beautiful you are sounds great too. and omg her vocals were so amazing. haters to the left.

Maybe they will announce new al or single after release of Kumi's JAPANESQUE.

[ayu_ready?]

both songs are pretty decent

speaking as a no-native english speaker, I'd say that it's way more easiear to write on informal english than formal one. And by informal english I mean: hi guyz how are u? I luv u 2 and so on .
I think it's understandable if you're not living in a english speaker country, like Ayu. But I remember a short interview when she was with Leslie Kee, and she replied in english. She sounded quite good and capable of answering correctly.

I think she's good at speaking but not at writing.
I mean, look at her english tweets they could come from a 15 years old girl not from a 33 years old woman.

Maybe with Mannie she will learn how to write properly now.

I didn't mean informal... I don't know how to explain it without sounding mean. I guess the best way I can put it is... her English sounds a bit dated, the things she says are correct in English... but nobody actually says them.

Who would use the phrase party queen?

LMAO I didn't know party queen was such a dated expression. Sure you don't hear it often, but that's not really a reason why she shouldn't use it?

She can use what she wants. I can hope all I want that she doesn't, I'll just quietly cringe over it when she pulls out a funny title like Party Queen lol

Of course you can. It's just that I can't see what's so funny about it...

Mh, here in Germany young people actually use the phrase party queen. So we would say jocular "Du bist auch so ne kleine Party Queen, ne?" - I couldn't really translate it that good, 'cause it's more in everyday language but actually it means something like "You're a little party queen".
Just now I ask a few friends if they find it strange when someone says "Party Queen" and no one finds it strange.^^

[LEOyumi]

how beautiful you are made me cry, such a beautiful song! It's been a while since she released a traditional ballad this good.
Party Queen is nice too, nothing special.

[pepper]

After listening to hbya at countdown, I DO REALLY LIKE THE "huh huh" choirs in the song. It sounds VERY western but It makes song memorable.

[spanishfan]

We will probably get more Timmy songs in the album ^^

And about engrish, maybe she's singing in english made to japanese people. Those who are studying Japanese will know what i'm talking about. Like from "chocolate" they say "chokore-to"... When she wants, she speaks english very well (I think) For native maybe she'll never be good enough though, I don't know xD

The majority of her fanbase is Asian, she is not aimimg english speaking countries while singing in english, and I don't really think they care about how right or deep her english is... We must keep in mind that engRish is pretty much an aesthetic by it's on...

Whenever I show someone a clip of Ayu, I avoid the songs that have English lines in them, because they don't even compare to her Japanese lyrics, and it makes her seem simpleminded to those who don't know her. I was watching her MY STORY tour with my dad, and he laughed during STEP you.

[Aderianu]

i expected to hear announcement at cdl... then 1st january. but she still didn't say anything and i don't understand why %) album is almost ready.

[pepper]

idc about her lyrics in english - even the "STEP you" one, cause it doesnt really bothers me. the thing i dont like is how she sings in english when she tries to be serious (how beautiful you are, over, rainbow - but the english in rainbow was standable.) STEP you or Humming 7/4 are these songs that english makes it singalong and more fun.

This!

"Party Queen" & "how beautiful you are" are fantastic. i love ayu's ballads, but to hear an upbeat song like "Party Queen" for a change is just great. it's so catchy! and "how beautiful you are" really is beautiful, too.

Oh, I remember now my dream today. I dreamed about that they updated her official site/or TeamAyu (w/e) with realeses for new year.

It was something like this:
~ CLIP BOX
~ CLIP BOX ~limited sth~
~ COUNTDOWN
~ COUNTDOWN ~blablah~
~ Special edition Ayu Trance Vinyl (4 tracks only) limited only like 1k copies
~ Special edition Ayu Nonstop Mega Mix DVD 169 (OMG i remember the exact amount of songs) songs in one
and in the end was something like
~ [I] (japanese font] [japanese font]

and we speculated that "I" was the album title, cause nobody new what was that.

I always have this dreams before realese...

to be honest, I liked the "I" title.
