New album 'Party Queen' out 03/21 information thread [II]

[truehappiness]

I don't think it has anything to do with avex. In 2011, they probably were waiting Tales of Xillia to come out so that she could release something and by then it was rather late so a mini album ended up being what we got.

I think we might get a 51st single some time this year.

Here's hopin! Something in later summer, or something to promote her tour!

[YUKARI]

^I hope to see a single this summer or autumn

[AyuGAME]

From the release pattern, i think this year we will get summer single..

[YUKARI]

I expect huge promotion for this album! Oh can't wait to see ayu return to TV

[kendelle]

I would actually love a true "Autumn" single, with warm-looking covers a'la MOON and a song similar to Sweet Season. That would be amazing in my books!

She'll probably sing how beautiful you are when she promotes it. I'm hoping for 4-5 lives this time around. I'm sick of only getting 1-2 lives max for her singles and albums lately!!

Best case scenario for me is that she does 4-5+ lives of two songs. One upbeat, one balladesque.....or a medley depending on how the songs can fit together!

I was always glad for no pre-release singles, especially after seeing the prices of the limited sets....I think it'll be really interesting to see how she goes here and what Avex will do to make up for the lost potential income from the singles. Like suggested earlier, I'm guessing a flood of CMs, billboards and return of the promo buses from Rule/Sparkle?

I don't really need a physical single before the release of the album, but I'd like a single from the album after its release, with lots of remixes or maybe a bonus track not included in the album. Something like what happened wit appears, kanariya or Daybreak xDD

I think thats just the thing that would end her streak >.<

[douggn]

Cant wait though I wish there was one more PV on here

[TeamAyu2004]

^ We still got some time!
I'm hoping for a Party Queen, PV really.

Nowadays is hard to get the 1st place, because there are a lot of idols,johnny's and kpop artists releasing singles like crazy. Maybe it is risky and they don't want the end of her streak.

avex has always pushed around Ayu's release dates to make sure that she maintains the streak. In the last few years she's never released a single where there was competition. I think that the problem is that fans might not be as eager to buy singles now that Ayu holds the record. Perhaps they think an album with entirely new songs has a better chance of getting number one? Who knows what went on behind this decision.

Her album streak was broken in 2008 when GUILTY was released...

But she released A COMPLETE the same year so she's still number two in longest album streak. At least one #1 ranked album/year. I'm sure Avex are eager to keep that streak going on.

a small technicality.

[waterballoon]

for taskebab, i want the interlude to have Ayu whispering "kebab, kebab, taskebab" with creepy middle-eastern sounds in the back.

for the tour, i can imagine "taskebab kebab" with A Symbols on the sticks.

[Kanzaki]

Maybe kebab stands for something??
Just trying to find other associations than delicious meat...

[Aderianu]
