So I'm listening to Party Queen in its entirety and while it's still one of her weakest albums in terms of the music itself (in my opinion of course), the actual concept as a whole from the covers to music videos, the order of the songs and lyrics is her absolute strongest. I really felt she executed what she was going for perfectly with this album. I'm off to revisit her other albums now after years of not listening to them Nothing like discovering old gems you long forgotten!

I agree on Party Queen, I think it's one of her strongest concept albums, even if I don't think it's the best overall.

And I'm doing the same with some of the songs and albums I don't listen to as much. I even went back and gave the album NOTHING FROM NOTHING another listen after years and now I'm loving the song LIMIT. I wish she'd do a self-cover of that now.

I don't hate You & Me, but I oftentimes forget what it sounds like. I'll try and imagine it and either get Feel the Love in my head or Summer Love. XDD

Watched conspiracy theories all day yesterday.

MK ultra imagery is crazy strong in Ayu's career.
Made me think lol. I'm not convinced either way, but there were some interesting ideas brought up.

I remember a time, when any messages about MK ultra / illuminati were deleted by staff; so I'm pleasantly surprised that it is allowed to be talked about after all.

but yeah; there's more than plenty really in your face MK ultra symbolism in her visuals; just like with any other superstar.

I'm really deep into studying this kind of thing, but I've actually not noticed it as much in her music. Maybe I refuse to see it. XDD

I guess if it's not a welcome topic on here, I won't encourage it necessarily but I would be interested to know what ya'll have seen.

There are a lot of this type of imagery in Ayu's career. MK Ultra being the most prevalent in my opinion. I made a thread about symbology in Ayu's career that touched upon this topic among other recurring themes. But I abandoned it because it becomes a lot of work to collect all of the pictures and screencaps.

During concerts, has any of Ayu's concerts sold baseball caps or anything? Suddenly just curious about this.

I went to a waterpark yesterday with a hat on, and it made me realize that I really want an Ayu hat. XDD

I'm so... horridied lol
I was really close to buy a bootleg version of CDL 2005-2006 without knowing it. Someone was selling it for 10€ on a french website (leboncoin for the french people reading me haha) and it seemed in good condition but then I asked for additionnal pictures to be 100% sure of it. I got a picture of the inside of the DVD box and it seemed weird to me, thanks to eneabba.net I was able to identify this one as a bootleg. I'm really horrified because I was really close to buying it and I would have hated myself so much for spending 10€ + shipping to get a bootleg lmao. It really seemed to be an original copy, the cover was the same as the original, I'm glad that I asked for additional pictures.

Now I'm gonna be extra careful when buying Ayu stuff on the internet.

You basically just described my fears when I am scrolling trough Taobao's offer of Ayumi's releases. I want them so much and since I am in China I could easily order them but the fear of buying a bootleg copy is what's stopping me.
Does anybody have any kind of experience of buying cd's and dvd's?
Are they reliable at all?

I bought CDs off of Taobao before. They've all been legit. It's important to look at the photos carefully, the description (they'll include the item's catalogue number most of the time) and also the seller feedback. Then you should be good to go
