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

I am posting all relevant information in here! Hopefully it helps. If anything needs to be fixed or added, please post it here and I will add it ASAP! I had to make this twice due to deleting it on accident, lol.

**Originally the title of the album was reported as "Party queen" by Kome, but Ayu corrected Kome and said it was "Party Queen". It looks like he sent out the notice before Ayu made the correction.

Etc. tidbits
- Masashi Muto directed some PVs for this album
- it appears that the album cover was shot in London with Leslie in late November (https://twitter.com/#!/lesliekeesupe...34749770022913)
- Timmy composed both Party queen and how beautiful you are
- There is a commemorative photobook coming out on 03/21 [the same day] with special shots not included in the album, it appears it might be 3000yen? (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=334)
- how beautiful you are is being released as a digital single on 02/08 on iTunes with a cover
- it is thought that there are only two interludes due to Ayu saying that she recorded 12 songs in London
- Timmy wrote Party Queen with Ayu in mind
- Ayu mentioned that castings for a PV in a recent tweet (but it is unknown if she was talking in the present tense) so another PV for the album is not unlikely! (She is in fact filming another PV.)
- The spoiler that follows has PV tidbits from the last few new album threads while she was in London recording.

Ah, it looks like it was gwijai's post then. They said it was a fast song and I remember wondering if the PVs were going to be connected since it seems that they are going to have some of the same cast members in all three PVs (somewhat like that band in the background of Sexy little things/Microphone).

With this piece of information combined with Nigel's Tumblr (the stylist for the extras) it looks like Shake It is for sure the first PV filmed in an apartment in East London. I think it's also safe to say that Return Road was filmed in the factory with the tank, scientists, and drones, and NaNaNa was filmed at the Fabric nightclub in Farringdon with people doing a bit of gymnastics and in crazy makeup/hair/tattoos/etcetera.

This is the best he could come up with? Embarrassing. Hopefully it's as awesome as tasking though.

may I ask you a very ignorant question?
What is tasuku anyway? I always thought it had to do with the english "task", you now... like you need something to do.

It's the name of the guy who composed and or arranged many great Ayu songs ! It's a kind of pun, since the japanese pronunciation of his name (Tasuku) sounds like "task" ! If I remember well ^^"

^Yes indeed ! You're very welcome ^^ Actually,though it has the worst title of the whole album, it's probably one of the tracks I'm the most eager to listen to, because I LOVE his works !

"...a super grand full album of 14 brand new songs will be released! All songs were recorded in London, featuring top engineers and musicians at the helm of today’s musical scene, creating an ambitious album of world-class quality."

Quite the description! Very ambitious. I need to ramp up my expectations a little now.

Actually, all of his interludes have 'taskin-' in them so I wonder why it wasn't taskinkebab... but I guess they probably tried that and figured the ks would work well together.

taskinillusion
taskinlude
tasking
taskinst
taskebab

I really want to hear what he's got for us this time! However, I really hope that it doesn't end up being a controversial interlude -again- since tasking and taskinst were supposedly plagiarized. There is probably a good reason why they went with taskebab.

That description really isn't any indicator of quality or whether or not you'd like the album, as they normally do this with any new releases in Japan (or anywhere really). However, they probably did work with some top musicians and engineers like they did for Love songs and Rock'n'Roll Circus.
