I never actually like her stage outfits that much. they always seem a bit too kira kira/not good taste to me. although I've got a feeling they get worse & worse every year

And yes the Party Queen performance is so interesting and deep! Sad and epic is a perfect way to put it!



The dark green military-esque outfit.

And hate on the cat maid outfit all you want but i LOVED it and absolutely nothing was as fun during the concert as when she came out with it!! The arena went wild!
oh thanks for the information!
I only wish the opening was another song dont really like happening here much though its a theme song!!!! I really love the blue outfit she has for the opening!! such a shame that she only wears it for happening here!!!!!!!

^ Y'know, I'm not a big fan of Happening Here, but it was a nice opening to the tour. I wasn't too thrilled the first day, but it really got the crowd pumped. Despite me not liking the song a whole lot, I couldn't help but sing and dance along to it!! But I haven't gone back and listened to it since, haha.

I actually really like that song now, haha. I couldn't make it past the first minute before, but now I can listen to the whole thing!! I wish the studio version were as... I don't know... I feel like the live was more energized than the studio version.

^Shake it? Yes the live was much more energized (same with happening here) The live guitars and drums really brought it to the next level. At least the studio version of shake it has the sick dubstep bridge.

People said the same thing about RnRC - feeling disappointed by the studio versions. Just goes to show ayu is a true musician a performing musician

Just taking the title (which most people will do) will think it tacky and tasteless.
So its better to have hotel love songs than Party Queen.
I really don't think having the title of the tour be "HOTEL Love Songs" is going to change the perception "non-fans" have on her and redeem her from being practically bare-assed on the cover of her latest album titled "Party Queen"

^Polka and I were talking about this. To us fans and to the people examining the album, the covers are genius in conveying the theme of the lonely woman who puts on the guise of a party queen. But to nonfans they are just going to see a sexually provocative singer. But honestly, gurl is so far established and 14 years into her career. Who gives a rats ass what nonfans think. Its about her and us her fans. Being a brave artist is not caring what the people who aren't listening to the album think. Ayu has proven time and time again that she has this integrity.

Well, we're gonna get a cat maid ayupan next year, if previous years are anything to go by. How can people not be excited about that?

The raunchy-ness is all a guise though (and the title of Party Queen is really that raunchy), like I said, we fans know the meaning, who cares what the nonfans think at this point in Ayu's career

Why should she be concerned about what people who wouldn't listen to the album at all would think about her releases? Love Songs cover was the tamest thing ever, and this never made the album sell millions... this just makes no sense... If her career starts being focused on what people who aren't her fans wants, she is going to release albums filled with only variations on her summer singles, winter singles and concerts ending songs...

^ I think releasing this type of album now shows she doesn't care what people think in general.
But Im sure she does care in a more personal way. It has to be hurtful to do something and then have people bash it.
There is a reason why she is not as active as she once was on twitter and what not.

Also, discovering a good part of your fanbase is composed of whinning, spoiled, rude b***** is a reason as strong to avoid social media xD

Her fanbase attacked her by far less...

Thats my point.
If her fans treat her like crap and she still makes music, why care what others non fans think.

Your fans are your harshest critics.

They shouldn't treat Ayu like crap, obviously, but I don't know... Ayu's "whatever" responses all the time to even sensible and polite critique is really alienating. There's a fine line between doing what you want and coming across as not caring about your fanbase.

Without a fanbase, you're nothing. I don't think Ayu quite realises that, or if she does, it's probably come on very strongly over the past year or so.
