I was disapointed with Love songs interludes. If I would like to listen to classy sassy music, I prefer Bethoveen. insomnia was ok, but still i prefer rocky/electro interludes with "power".

They fit the atmosphere of the album, imo.

She was probably also thinking of HOTEL Love songs at the time as well. insomnia, Aria, and overture would have had some epic screen videos!

The only interludes I DON'T like are Rock'n'Roll Circus's, so I'm fine with the album having three, especially since her albums usually have three anyways.

Like taskinst, Jump! or Load of the SHUGYO? I love this kind of interludes sooo much, i doubt we'll be getting this on Party Queen though (taskebab is the only one likely to end up being like that in my opinion, yet i think it won't, don't know why)

AHHHHHHH!!!!

Must have studio version of Party queen.....

Well, a cup of tea also has a chance of being upbeat but Serenade in A minor is likely to be like Aria or overture.

Did anyone else notice how the two interludes in the second half have a/A in them?

^ I was thinking of a cup of tea being a rather ~cute~ interlude, like a tea party a little girl has with her stuffed animals or something haha. Well i could be wrong.
(and no i didn't notice it, do you think it could really have a special meaning?)

I might be overanalyzing but whatever, haha.

The songs inbetween them have 'mama' and 'papa' in the first lyric so perhaps they are rather personal tracks for Ayu? The lower and upper case As might also represent her 'growing up' as well since A = Ayu imo.

a cup of tea could be cute but the songs that follow seem most likely to be the jazz-infused tracks that were mentioned as being a part of Party Queen so cute may not fit it unless they both end up like Sexy little things. It could go either way, really.

wouldn't be a first. reBirth.

I think insomnia was the one I didn't like. I adore Aria though. I think the atmosphere is superb and it really feels like something straight out of Mushroom Kingdom on Mario. I just get that " magic fairytale kingdom/princess" feeling from it. It's very unique and I love it!

And when I think "cup of tea" I think of something jazzy. Something mellow and very bossa nova. Like Koda Kumi's Koi No Tsubomi (a Cup Of Milk Tea Bossa Nova Version). Check it out here if you haven't heard it: http://musicaddict.com/323633

interesting!

Love songs interludes were not bad, R'n'RC intro/interludes were the worst ever, imo.

And I AM SO HYPE for TEN NEW SONGS! (I'm counting Party Queen because we haven't heard the studio version.) OMG this is going to rock so hard.

^Lol we really don't think the same. I feel 100% the opposite way. Love songs boring, R'n'RC fantasticles. xD

^^What about the albums before that? I think from I am... to NEXT LEVEL they were all genius.

NEXT LEVELS are the only ones I really like to listen to, to the point where I consider them songs (plus Aria on Love songs). Kaleidoscope was nice on MY STORY but ReBiRTH is like a better version of it so I never listen to Kaleidoscope anymore. tasking, taskinst, and Are You Wake Up? are nice too though. Oh, and of course everlasting dream!

I loved Aria.. Love songs were pretty good.. I cant even remember Rock n Roll's...
But I love Next Levels and I'am... plus missunderstood! ( I love the album, but think i like the interludes better!)

Well I really don't want to start some long discussion out of this. :) Because everyones tastes is so different! But I can give you some short answer just for the sake to answer your question. :)

I really don't like NLs interludes. They are a mess. Well the mess is how they placed them, they really don't fit to the following songs. Like, what the hell did that crazy disco-munication come from when NL (the song) was so happy and tender. And then Pieces of SEVEN that started from a rockish song (LOVE 'n' HATE) to be followed by a ballad (Days). That flow was simply horrible since PoS starts of balladish and ends rockish. They should have done the other way and the flow would fit nicely. I don't listen to NL as a whole album sicne it drives me crazy. I cut out the interludes and just make my own order cuz that album is mad. xD But I feel like I'm one of very few who feels this way since alot of you people love the NLs flow. And that's great for you! It's only personal taste, it simply doesn't tickle my good feelings.

Albums who's interludes I love, love, love is probably ASfXX, Duty, Secret, GUILTY and R'n'RC (I'm one of those who's totally addicted to Jump!). xD :yes
Edit: I totally blame my scandivanian blood for being so addicted to the rock side Ayu. ;)

While I do love most her interludes, sometimes it's hard to tell apart LABYRINTH, neverending dream, reBirth, and kaleidoscope... lol but they are all beautiful in different ways. :)

I see what you are saying but I NEVER listen to NEXT LEVEL in full because I don't like so many of the songs. I always skip around so the flow doesn't matter to me.

^^I kind of agree on that. rollin' and identity aren't that great to me.
