I believe she pays (part of) her most megalomaniac projects with her own money...

I think it's a mix of a tactic that spends extreme money in one release(the sheer sum of money spend can be a promotional device) and less on the next - and Ayumi paying stuff out of her own pocket to realize her artistic ideas.

Compare GREEN/Days(super expensive) and NEXT LEVEL(relatively cheap, not low-budget, but probably not very expensive) for example. I think they counted on Days/GREEN to help sell NEXT LEVEL, therefore spend especially much on it.

Is there a way to know how much this has sold up to now?
Or is oricon always going to say 148k?

Because I'm thinking that it has sold 150k but those sales are so marginal that oricon nocurr about reporting them.

They won't count sales if they're not in the top 300 for a week, so I'm assuming the only way anymore sales will be counted is if it gets into the top 300 again (unlikely).
Sadly they most likely won't. I also think this will have at least passed 150k.

(edit: Oricon is pretty **** at recording accurate sales when you think about it lol)

Yep. Say the 300th highest selling album on Oricon had 1000 sales in the week, Party Queen could have anything up to 999 copies sold in that week but they wouldn't be counted.

........not much else to say lol

I can't say I'm glad that PQ didn't reach 150k. I really like Ayu to do well, but I hope she can put the need to act out so OTT behind her and just focus on growing as a person and having her image reflect that.

I want something cheerful, optimistic, sometimes thought prooking and most importantly, all current and former S.O.'s firmly out of the picture

Why would she credit a digital orchestra on her booklets?

At least You & Me, Snowy Kiss, Wake me up, Nanana and Shake it (half of her pvs from this year) were recorded overseas... Actually, Nanana used a special camera to cause that annoying effect.


Disliking an album or how much it sold aren't evidences of how much was spent on producing it.

I'm not very sure why so much money is invested in Ayu's PVs. For R&R circus, I thought the PVs were fabulous but for nanana, snowy kiss etc.. they could be shot at any random location for all it's worth. It's sort of like the John Carter film, throwing in a lot of money with the end product not turning out that great.

I didn't say that she used one, but you could realistically get the same orchestra feel from a digital one with minimal production cost. There are some great digital orchestra videos on YouTube

Well my point was that you can't tell 90% of the time when she's shot overseas. It's usually in a room or a box where you can't even tell she was overseas for the shoot Or some nondescript location that could've been anywhere, not necessarily something that screams the fairyland budget, or Mirrorcle World, where you can tell she's in a secluded location/easily identifiable "foreign" locations.

They shoul've quit that camera move and saved the money hahaha!

Not sure if this is directed at me, but I didn't intend that to be my statement?
