[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread ~Party Queen~

[channy]

^ Because I'm being greedy and her trance remixes are the best part of her music for me? I know a few more people on AHS that are begging for ayu trance 5, too

[TeamAyu2004]

^ because ayu trance is something that the fans want.

um, shut your face.

also, guys, tweeting her one at a time isn't the greatest approach. Shall I make a thread in the chat room so we can organize something? It'll reach her better and show that more people are interested.

^^Here you go.

He wrote this in the album thread two days ago.

I said Avex is a lazy-ass because they havent uploaded PQ's PV at ayu's youtube channel yet, and I also said they should upload them in full version, because that's the best way for them to promotion the album: getting milions of views.

Well as some of you know Ayu follows me on twitter through one list, and I dont know if it's related or not, but after that she tweeted this:

３日間限定であの感動作品「how beautiful you are」と、超最新テクノロジー満載の「 NaNaNa」「 Shake it♥」あんど何もかもが衝撃的すぎる「 Return road」のPV4曲がYou Tubeのayuチャンネルにてフルで観れるらしす♪( ´θ｀)ノ

Which says they will upload full versions of the PV's for a limited period of time of 3 days.

no, it's not strange, they're only doing it for 3 days, I suppose in an attempt to promote PQ.

She knows this album is a shock to many and she knows it will need time to sink in for some people. I think that may be why she focuses on interviews rather than performances right now, she wants to make people understand the concept rather than just performing one or two songs on TV. If she goes for that I hope to see one or two performances in April.

TBH if the concept needs THAT much explaining it's granted it wasn't executed well. 90% of casual music listeners prolly don't care much about concepts; for them hearing actual tracks somewhere would mean more ^^ Party Queen will most likely be "old" new in April.

[isthisLOL?]

90% of casual music listeners have never actively listened to a concept album xD It's not all that common in Pop music after all and most people nowadays seem to listen to individual songs rather than full albums. But the thing is she made a concept album, not a collection of random songs. So I can understand her wanting to promote the concept, not individual songs.

I disagree only because I don't believe a concept has to be obvious in order for it to be good. Ayu is deep, insightful, and sometimes these needs need to be clarified or elaborated on. This is definitelyyyyyyy not the first time she has had to explain a concept. I've been in the dark quite a few times before we got clarification.

[Bigtop]

So wait a minute...this appears to be a concept album? How?

[adantatu2]

please, at least beat koda's japonesque, lol

Well Ayu has an extra day of sale to help her boost up the first week so she'll probably beat first week but I don't think she'll pass the overall sales. (not trying to start a war as both of them are equal for me)

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^Wouldn't it be funny if their first week sales were like, in the difference of ~100? lol

THIS

I do not care about sales anymore. I doubted buying the album but decided not to buy. I really wanted 2 photobooks though. why were they even postponed?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^avex should be ashamed, not ayu, it's not her fault.

as I said before, ayu should leave avex because they are ****ing with her career and doing her such a disservice.

Use all those millions and start her own record label, Ayu Trax, Inc. LOL

And just a theory, but I think the photobooks were delayed because they contained material pertaining to ayu's marriage/ex-husband, and their time together. So it had to be edited out.

[TeamAyu2004]

the sales still have 2 more days so she will beat Kuu in sales unless if something just horrible happens and no one buys anything on monday... lol...
For people that are worrying about that.
The ayu-fan in me wants he to stomp Kuu, but I love both albums that i dont think it would bother me either or.

Yes, you could do that. We then will prepare our twitter-spam-attack in this thread

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^OK, I'll make one sometime soon. I feel like it's too soon after Party Queen release to do it now. We have to do it tactfully.

Anyway ... anxious for weekend sales...!
