i love that Party Queen as the opening track of the album and how beautiful you are as the closing track. my guess is the hbya is the only ballad in this album.
for interludes. my guess is three. but i'm hoping for just two.
taskebab, a cup of tea and Serenade in A minor

^I'm also suspecting three. Mostly because of the way the tracklist was originally posted on the site. taskebab, a cup of tea and Serenade in A minor. It just seems like since these are all the ones we suspect as the interludes, putting them in order at the end kind of makes sense...to me. haha

i guess im the onyl that think Serenade in A minor could possible be a song?

You are not the only, I thought like this from the first time I saw the title. ;) imo, it's a great title for a beautiful ballad.

i agree. i want another ballad because HBYA doesn't quite satisfy me. maybe just one more ballad would be nice. :yes

Weirdly, the title of the album makes me think we will:D:D:D

Hopefully we'll get the covers by the end of this week !

that's what I was thinking... She starts to album all fast and great and ends it in Ballad epicness...
I mean if she can name a ballad BALLAD... than she can name another ballad Serenade... lol

I think (besides taskebab and songs we know that have Pv's) each one of them could be an interlude :P eyes,smoke,magic can be interlude to serenade, and letter can make call a sandwiched song :P we will see.

Exactly! :yes

I still can't get rid of the idea that Letter and call have some kind of connection - they are next to each other in both unofficial and official tracklists (though they changed places in the official one, but anyway...)... but we'll see, just a guess... And I really want the next LOVE be as good and rockish as is this LOVE? :P

It's happening; the day when I finally have made my peace with Happening Here is here.

I hope, if that song is the hidden track, it's an album version or something, anything that would tune down the Godawfulness.

I want the next love to be this HUGE dance track... something like evolution!

I wouldn't mind if Serenade in A minor was a full song (she doesn't usually put an interlude second to last, does she?). It's got a pretty title. I'm just hoping there's not a whole lot of ballads - I'm happy with a couple - but with a title like Party Queen I'm expecting upbeat songs. Ballads would remind me of those alcohol-fuelled parties where someone starts crying and everyone ends up getting frustrated with each other.
I guess it would suit the theme of waking up after a party though. :P

edit: if the next LOVE was like is this LOVE? that would be great. xD Or count down - for some reason the title makes me think it would suit something count down-y.

^ she did reBIRTH second to last!
(but i am with you! I want this to be a full song...)

^ Oh, I forgot about reBiRTH! I quickly looked through my playlists, and untitled ~for her~ is missing... that explains my mistake, haha.
But I think that's the only one second to last. :D

By seeing from tracklist it seems she will start with upbeat songs and then ending with midtempo songs / ballads.
Would be interesting though, because it would represent a real party.

Btw enough with speculation :D we want coverrrrrsss!

I'm totally with you on that! I want some covers, like yesterday!
But I am happy talking about it! lol.. all the different theories on what Ayumi might do!
o.O it is sooo shocking and interesting!

Love the bold part, 'cause thinking of such parties now really made me laugh. A few years back a friend took my mp3 player and heared "Crucify my love" from X-Japan. For some weird reason he downloaded the instrumental and recorded his own version with lyrics he had written. And only god knows why but he wanted to show us the song at a REALLY good party - afterwards most people wanted to hear their favourite emo songs and everybody started crying. The weird part: I was the only girl at this party and the only one not crying. :thud

^ few years ago, I was FORCED to join XJAPAN karaoke on Manga Convention, I sang Forever Love and some people started crying while I only knew the CHORUS and I was singing it all wrong XDDDDDDD

I think, rather than mid-tempo songs, it will flow into something dark and rocky.

Just interlude on LOVEppears, I believe. :)

oh god, I'm looking forward to this like nothing else. AND YAY, THE TASKEBAB TAG LIVES ON.
