2012.03.21 NEW ALBUM CONFIRMED

[Aderianu]

maybe they save Part Queen Blu ray to release the same day with AT10 3D =)

[truehappiness]

Maybe! The FIVE Blu-ray thing didn't sell so well so perhaps they'll just scrap Blu-ray editions entirely for now.

And about an OS press, I am pretty sure they will do the CD+3DVD as well. There's no reason for them not to after doing the CD+2DVD A BEST 2 way back when (Taiwan only. Doesn't look like Hong Kong did it?). Now the packaging.... not sure about that since it seems rather special.

I wasn't going to pre-order the album, was going to wait til I go in Japan in December to buy it but... OMG IF SHE HAS PINK HAIR ON THE COVER @W@ I must get it!!!!!!!! AND PHOTOBOOK TOO? OMG GOING TO DIE! THANKSAYU I ALWAYS WANTED YOU TO HAVE PINK HAIR!!!!




Ok. And now. Taskebab? LMAOLMAOLMAO! Couldn't stop laughing at y'all comments on this one XD Hahahaha what a weird title, but it's fun to see Ayu come up with such randomness I think.

Now I'm curious to hear more news on the Life Style book, I'm definitely ordering that. Kinda hoping that it will be released at the same time as the Party Queen photobook so I can get them together +w+ OMG SO HAPPY!

[truehappiness]

I think it could be for future promotion? Or possibly the goods for HOTEL Love songs?

The Life Style Book and Party Queen photobook all share the same release date with PoM and Party Queen.

Here's her tweet about her hair being pink recently. I kind of hope it's only highlights, lol.

^ I saw FIVE in CDJapan top 100 chart, so sales was not very bad...

I recall it was only a few thousand copies though (like one or two thousand)? It was reported by ayumisrael back then anyway.

EDIT: It was actually less than I thought... it only sold about 750 copies in a span of 3 months or so?

[kendelle]

They did end up doing Ayu-mi-x 7's special set in the OS press though, so perhaps they'll do at least one box version, too....

I think the multi-DVD and CD versions are a given after Next Level, but the boxes are more of a 50/50 thing....it depends on if we want to risk it, I guess? I sure wish I knew in advance that they were going to do the OS press of Ayu-mi-x 7.........so much cheaper!

i hope not. i am so sick of DVDs being region locked. i hate buying DVDs that i'll never use because its such a hassle.

[freedreamer]

I want pink highlights on the blonde hair...
i keep imagining FIVE's hairstyle with pink streaks >.<

[Larisa-chan]

Ew, alrighttt... totally preparing for a Kumi Koda-esque album... (ugh)

Hope she gets this fun, party-stuff fluff out of her system in this album. The (album and) song titles are ridiculous lol Hope the cover isn't ****ty.

・Shake It♥
・NaNaNa
・Party queen

Hope these are the only three "party" songs on the album and the rest of the songs are more mature sounding haha I'm surprised that she's opening the album with a ballad, though. o.o

Yeah, totally having negative vibes about this album, but I really hope as a whole it's good.

[freedreamer]

the tracklist isnt final people...its not in the right order...

Yeah that's REALLY annoying, but you can get around that with a region free player! They aren't that expensive nowadays. Such is the life of being a fan of Asian artists...

For me though, I tend to just reburn my Ayu DVDs so that I don't have to deal with the region blocks. It'd be even easier if I had dual layer DVDs, but those tend to cost quite a bit more.

This. It needs to be clarified that the tracklist is only temporary right now. Nothing's in order at all.

I actually hoped she got the super mid-tempo thing out of her system with the last few albums. I love me some Ayu but she really didn't offer as much upbeat "fun" stuff lately as she has in the past. I don't think she should be one of those singers that only does pop/dance tracks but it's nice to have a balance.

[Tom Punks]

LOL OMG THESE TITLES. At first I was like "WTF ARE YOU THINKING AYU?! **** **** ****."

But now I'm thinking it could end up being really cool. Thank God for no more collaborations, and I'm kind of happy there will be a new tasuku interlude.

[tenshi no hane]

22 pages in one day O.o

It sounds like this Party Queen be a fun, optimistic album. We might get some upbeat songs, it's been a while~

yeah...i guess you're right. i should just buy a region free player. any suggestions on a good one?

[ExodusUK]

I wonder if we'll see the how beautiful you are pv next week? I can't remember what happened with together when's release and the pv...

[truehappiness]

If you want the best video quality, you should get one that hooks up to your TV via HDMI.

This one seems pretty nice and it's also the #1 sold on YesAsia. I got a pretty cheap one from YesAsia that uses RCA cables to hook up and the quality can tend to be pretty bad. They also ship power converters along with your order so that you don't have to look for them yourself, I believe. The one I got is SR200P and works fine but I think it was also one of the cheapest options that they had.

[AyuWorld]

dont like the title and taskebab and a cup of tea all i can see now is kebab meal

but since im not really a fan of title it didnt really influence me to listen to the album so ok, just going to wait untill the full album is out

yayy for PoM and CDL for DVD and bluray!

[relmy]

I only watch PV DVDs on my laptop so it's easy enough to get around the region lock on DVDs. I'd rather buy Japan version concerts, so then I can watch them on any old DVD player on a TV, but for an OS press at about half price, I'll happily watch on my laptop.
