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

[sanzo2011]

The booklet looks nice! but i'm still disgusted by her some of her poses!@@!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Who has their copies so early, and how? Is it ayuchina?

*checks* amazon hasn't even shipped my order yet lol

[Tom Punks]

This booklet reminds me of a trashy, tacky version of MY STORY's. lol

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^Why is it trashy and tacky? Just because of what she's wearing? :/

[love in music]

the booklet is so hot
but this picture... http://i.imgur.com/IDtjk.jpg
she looks sick.
edit: oops didn't realize it was all one big picture. i meant the "the next LOVE/ESM" pages

[Tom Punks]

@Pieces_of_SEVEN: Tacky because of the way the font is outlined in white (which looks awful imo) on some songs and the way the background/gradient fades into the pictures. Trashy because of what she's wearing, the "purposely" bad photo composition, how she looks grossly thin in a few of the shots, etc. Also the fact that the hotel room is literally trashed.

I noticed that on Avex's official Ayu website, on the tracklist "Shake It" is written like this "Shake It♥" but the booklet scans have it printed like this "Shake It ♥".

I need to tag everything perfectly for my MP3 discography. What should I do? x)

[Tom Punks]

^ I would go by the booklet scans, personally. Her official site has a lot of incorrectly tagged songs.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

OK, seriously, I need a Party Queen poster in my life. I'm really hoping they show up on YesAsia and eBay... *fingers crossed* they should, right? Obvi I want the CD+2DVD cover.

Thanks for the clearing up! I hate it when I have wrongly tagged music in my library XD. Glad to know I am not the only one!

On TA it's also written as Shake It ♥. I'd use that! Also, I always trust the booklet the most.

no matter what she said, well, she promised we would understand after seeing the booklet and other album content
the only thing I clearly understood is her love for Timmy. nothing more

I'm feeling like this too, right now. The tabloid thing, kinda, sure. The sad party queen, not so much. However, I do question the numbers written on the mirror, kinda like Memorial Address. Perhaps there is meaning behind that? But, the fact is these shots weren't even for Party Queen. I really wish Ayu would just say it flat-out sometimes. I hate guessing and doubting her.

[isthisLOL?]

I think the picture where she is just...laying there like she fell asleep drunk embodies the sad party queen aspect, as does the trashed room. The rest is completely up to definition, it can either be taken as trashy or as concept.

[TeamAyu2004]

^^ okay how do people know they were not for party queen? Because she took them in New York along with the calendar?
I mean, heaven forbid if the woman multitasks.
She could of have Party Queen planning since her mini-album came out, even before, hence why she had the mini-album because none of that music fits on this album.

[ayu_ready?]

^ she said in the latest interview she hadn't had any concept of the album at first

THIS X 1 000 000 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I will never understand 'the concept' and 'the beauty' of these shots
the more I see them the more I get
at least there's 1 shot with Tim, if he had been everywhere again I think I could have practically died

I agree with you. She looks painfully thin. I don't see anything sad or lonely about these pictures, except for the one where she's passed out on the table. Otherwise, she just looks like someone who partied hard the night before. Trashing your room usually isn't sad behavior--it's ROCK STAR behavior!

Ayu completely failed to execute the concept of a sad, lonely party queen. I'd expect to find a booklet like this in a Ke$ha album, not an Ayu album.

[relmy]

She looks so skinny! D: Why can't she dance around in a bikini when she has curves?

I'd like these more if she just had a different hairstyle!!

[RayJason]

Whenever ayu is thin she is 'overly thin'
Whenever ayu is a bit fuller she is 'fat'.

omfg. She looks good now to be honest!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I just covered how beautiful you are

I wanna do Return Road, but it's hard when I don't have an instrumental of the song. sigh

[jewelbox]

I've never seen Ayu as a "Party Queen"(idk has she even time to party?), this partying and drinking lonely queen and the whole concept was probably inspired by Timmy.
The booklet is OK. Gotta agree about the white outlined font. It's horrible.
