yeah, her vocals sounds better (more emotional too) than the album ver. the STEP you CM ver. sounds... rough? I mean, it's so massive and slow... I'm very curious even of the shorty short fragment of Party queen, cause I love the live ver.

I didn't know if they were making a joke about Party queen being in a CM... the poster sounded like they had the info right in their hands...
(sarcasm is lost over the internet.. lol)

STEP YOU is so much slower! It's pretty bad, lol.
Still Alone... it was different... I don't know how I feel about it because the original is so epic... lol.
I will say it is much better than Step You's CM

No need for the CM version of STEP you, the original version is epic enough. It is literally a God-send - my favorite Ayu song ever!!

It is! Whenever I play this song, I always crank up the volume. I love the bass and her vocals and EVERYTHING lol. Whenever I hear the 'risou to genjitsu no sa wa' I DIE, that part is so epic. However I really don't like the part that comes after the 'wow yeah yeah'. Like the person in charge of arranging the track had no idea what with that part. Though all in all it's epic. And the PV is unbeatable + her 2006 (miss)understood performance was AWESOME! [/offtopic STEP you review, like 7 years too late] I hope that she has some songs like STEP you on this album.

The final version of STEP you is -of course- colossal But I just feel it's such a shame that she didn't release the CM version (it's kind of like the ~another night~ version to Ladies Night to me -which she released ). I mean, with Moments, JEWEL, About You, GREEN etc. her vocals were different too in the CM, but the music sounds similar to the final version - thus there was kind of no point to release the CM version, but with STEP you it's totally different. I -need- this STEP you, ayu.

I'm hoping that I will like Party Queen better when I hear the studio version...

EDIT: I don't see myself liking it. The beat is like, super ancient and it doesn't go anywhere.

I hope the chorus is featured in the CM, it's so catchy.

[Kouyou]

^Her hair is adorable! I hope this is the kind of look she's going for with the Party Queen album covers! Everything about the ViVi cover is amazing except for her lower lashes, which shouldn't have much if any mascara and they went a tad overboard but -otherwise- amazinggg.

True! lol
I think she just could close her eyes a little, it would give a look less... stunned/stupid.

I haven't even listened to the live of PQ since we first got it, so I really forget everything about the same except yelling "KANPAI!" lol

^ I don't mind the casual look as long she will not be on the WHITE (or plain) backround in the covers.

tbh the ViVi cover reminds me automatically this look:

Yeah I totally thought of that first haha!

I like the ViVi's hair and clothing more though.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

[PoetGirl]

[truehappiness]

AMAZING ViVi cover.

Did we go back in time or something? The styling is very LOVEppears/Duty era.
