EVERYTHING was announced at the same time. It was really weird and confusing, but nothing out of the ordinary for Ayu. Though this is probably the most concentrated news wave she's ever had at once.
- Party Queen's announcement
- LIFE STYLE BOOK - separate announcement
- Party Queen photobook - separate announcement
- POWER of MUSIC live CD
- POWER of MUSIC Blu-ray/DVD
- how beautiful you are digital single on 2/8
- 18 PLAYBUTTONS
*all on February 1st
So everything will be coming out and nothing will be combined as far as we know. This is likely to make up for the only releases in 2011 being the remix albums, FIVE, Rock'n'Roll Circus Tour FINAL, A 50 Singles and CDL. (It's kind of really odd that for Ayu that's 'barely anything to have been released' but if you don't count the DVDs/lives, that's only two releases.)

"Stan" (and, while we're at it, "flop," "flawless" and any variation thereof) needs to be eradicated from the Internet vernacular.
Phew that's a lot. Thanks for taking the time to list the new releases again. Just to clarify, the live album still doesn't have a release date, right? Or
is it being made available the same day as the DVD/Blu-ray?
Mini-rant directed at no one in particular: I get trying to "make-up" for the lack of releases last year (it's still weird to think there hasn't been a new single since 2010), but her staff needs to get its **** together. I know that I shouldn't expect anything other than mass chaos after an Ayu announcement (especially now that we're getting larger gaps between releases with new material--or gaps between
days with releases with new material), but I can't believe we're still going through this after almost 14 years in the business. Her staff has to have a better way of organizing new information and energizing her audience with new releases instead of just RSS-bombing everyone every few months.
