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

[Kanzaki]

Half-naked or not, the pictures just suck. I don't think they look good. I'd rather have seen her completely nude, if at least the pics has been prettier/nicer/better.

[microphone]

She didn't look scared to me. She looked like she is trying to kiss the camera :-*

Well, I guess we are waiting for previews and leaks now.

IMO she already has worst covers... Rock n Roll Circus and A Best 2 coming to mind

And I don't think she was lonely on RAINBOW cover, just worried that someone could wish for some fugu

I wonder if Timmy went on rampage after reading Jpopcentral's reactions..

I've sent him and I've got some other people to PM him there to join AHS.

Was it any worse than here? lol

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I feel like this cover would be pretty nice if the font placement was better. :/

[Andrenekoi]

I got what you said, and that's why I made that long post, to say that we can't know how well the concept was executed without listening to the music. I know we only have got the covers right now, but as I said before, IMO, having another obvious cover, or even being too obvious on those ones would make the whole project seens like a "dumbed" version of what it can be. It's exactly for my disbelief that people over here are dumb that I'm against more obvious covers... If things are well done, most people will get it once they listen to the album and know lyrics (that are the main aspect of ayu's music anyway)

If even with the music it fails, I will not defend it anymore (what I doubt, she even pic two tracks we already know to begin and end the album)

[MissElin_]

Yes I also think the music (probably) and the whole concept together will make sense. I do. But that was not what I was talking about so.

I'm just saying that when so many fans didn't get the concept from the cover - there might be some truth with the whole "the execution of the cover wasn't good enough". That's not rocket science either.

[Mayayu]

Before seeing the covers, i wanted to buy CD+2DVD edition but i can't even imagine having this picture at home lol
Getting CD+DVD instead~

Thanks for the updates!

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

I got it, it's clear that we will judge this album only after having listened carefully to the music and lyrics.
Then probably the concept would be developed,well clear and sorta meaningful.
The covers themselves are nice, I don't dislike them for what they are, but , thinking of her whole career and what she showed us about herself in many years, it's a style fall.

[Kanzaki]

What IS this concept anyway? Anybody close to figuring out? I just got that line from that song... "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" in my head now. That might not be too far from the truth.

According to her tweets:

1. She's lonely and the covers are meant to be sad.

2. They're supposed to be like a gossip magazine.

3. We'll get the concept when the album is released.

Sad? I don't get it. Ok she's alone in the shoots and in real life, but what is the relationship between being lonely and being a party queen?

Think about people who are really popular, like actresses/actors, musicians, even popular girls/guys in high school, they always seem to be happy, smiling and surrounded by people. But deep inside, they are lonely and sad. You never know who your real friends are, people use you for your popularity to get ahead and you can never really show your vulnerable side to others.

Ok, clear..I still don't get the relationship with Party Queen.
Altough you're popular or famous, it's not automatic you frolic or party everytime.

There's never a NEED to get naked.

There's no NEED to wash your hair. Or eat meat. Or chocolate. Or mint n chip ice cream.

This is how she wants to do it. Let's let her.

Luckily, it doesn't seem like there's any weird photoshop crap or...whatever. Even though the boob cover is weird.

hahaha on facebook I said she reminded me of lindsay lohan. No particular reason.
