The largest Ayu fandom meltdowns~

[primavera♥]

I think in party queen, she was trying not to make it too obvious. Which is good. But hard to do. Ideas like making facades and making a subtle hidden messages are always great until you actually have to do them and it's not all that easy. And she didn't really make her albums that way in the past.

I like the fact that the cover and booklet makes her seem glamorous, like what she is supposed to be. Had they put any image of her looking depressed and shit, it would have seemed too obvious to me. And others would think she just wants pity. I like that the whole aspect is left to the music. I think it shows well in the lyrics of the songs tbh. That's why I stan for songs like eyes, smoke, magic lol. I like lyrics that don't quite go with the music.

But the most obvious thing was just the shift in style. Like, parties over, and when it starts again, it's still kinda not happy.

I wish they had done more with music videos. Though image is something to be careful with. Like, especially when it comes to sincerity. Otherwise, it will look ridiculous and awkward like the snowy kiss PV.

Anyway, everyone could have different opinions on how they think it should've been executed whether or not it would have been easy to do so.

I don't know how people didn't get it. Honestly, there would have been a meltdown regardless of how that album was executes because it is ayu and because of that concept.

Yeap, I love how Party Queen isn't all dark, on the same way I love how Ayu usually isn't all dark or all light... Even her most straightfoward music tend to be on a gray area emotional-wise that IMO make them more complex than your everyday popstar, and more realistic too. Partying in order to ignore your problems isn't just a dark situation and isn't only made of sadness, tears and depression.

But yeah, the PVs sucks.

Truehappiness, the date on the Memorial Address mirror? Then 6 years later she writes a song about her suicide? I thought the date and the suicidal chick was something else entirely...

Yeah, Party Queen isn't all dark at all. There's 3 dance songs about loneliness, a bunch of tracks about her divorce, 2 musical tracks about her parents' divorce and an emotional ballad. Super fun!
