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

truehappiness · #1 27th February 2012, 10:25 AM

I am posting all relevant information in here! Hopefully it helps. If anything needs to be fixed or added, please post it here and I will add it ASAP! I had to make this twice due to deleting it on accident, lol.

**Originally the title of the album was reported as "Party queen" by Kome, but Ayu corrected Kome and said it was "Party Queen". It looks like he sent out the notice before Ayu made the correction.

****COUNTDOWN LIVE 2011-2012 A ~HOTEL Love songs~ is now only one DVD on the album, instead of a CD+3DVD, it is now a CD+2DVD

Quote:

avex find the way how to show preview to only TA =)

10th March somewhere in Tokyo will be "TA Limited PREMIUM PREVIEW ~Party Queen~"
※Ayu herself will not attend。
Some TA members will have a chanse to hear the preview of the songs and music videos 「Shake It(ハート)」、「NaNaNa」、「Return Road」、「how beautiful you are」

truehappiness · #3 27th February 2012, 10:40 AM

Oh, I heard from a friend that the leak for Party Queen will be somewhere around March 19th, but it could be earlier. Kind of late... maybe avex China dying really did affect whether or not we get leaks early from the usual sources?

And about this preview... I wonder if it's those four because those four PVs are the only ones that are done so far?

^maybe they don't want to reveal title of new PV?

truehappiness · #5 27th February 2012, 10:47 AM

I think they will definitely reveal the new PVs before then. I can't imagine them waiting until afterwards to reveal the titles and covers.

Aderianu · #6 27th February 2012, 10:52 AM

maybe on Wednesday?
covers, official order, information about goods

Earth_maiden · #7 27th February 2012, 10:57 AM

I don't think Ayu would be allowed to attend a public viewing after all the drama that happened after she showed up in Shibuya for the Dejideji release.

Didz-19 · #8 27th February 2012, 11:02 AM

there should be 3 interludes....and one hidden track to make the total of 12 songs...maybe "Happening Here" would be the hidden track.

She won't be at the viewing.

tokyoxjapanxfan · #10 27th February 2012, 11:05 AM

Haha just got the TA mail and rushed to TA expecting to see covers baha.

I think I'll enter to try and go. I'll have to go to one of the later showings though, since I have to work that day.

I wonder if they'll -actually- withhold info from the public until after the event...I mean, since it's "TA first" and all...

truehappiness · #11 27th February 2012, 11:25 AM

It sounds to me like they're just going to get a 'leak' before everyone else. Information being held until then would be INSANE. Imagine if she waited until the week before to release covers, haha.

MissElin_ · #12 27th February 2012, 12:22 PM

^I can't laugh at that imagination. Too scary.

I'm hoping this album will get some promotion. Like a truck, or some billboards, CM. We'll see how much Avex decides to do this time.

Which drama? Did I missed something?

tokyoxjapanxfan · #14 27th February 2012, 12:58 PM

^ She was accused of not making the proper registrations and stuff before attending the event.

Shibuya wasn't prepared for the amount of people that showed up and then they didn't move after she came. Then they all followed her to Tower Records, which is actually pretty far from 109, and the roads/sidewalks were extremely crowded and stuff.

I believe she then said (or was rumored to have said/whatever) that she can go anywhere she wants, or something like that?

Yes. In 'Heartplace' lyrics. (XDDDDDDDDD) I'm sorry I had to XD

I love the tracklist order, I am thinking of Shake it! and NaNaNa can be matched (PV's ofcourse)

IIRC, that's kind of how it went. I think it came down to her managers not filing the proper paperwork and such.

I recently reread an interview where she went to a convenience store a while back because she thought it would be safe to and well.... it turned ugly fast. I don't think she's ever going to go out in public without her entourage in Japan ever again.

it's because of fans or sth?

truehappiness · #19 27th February 2012, 01:16 PM

Yeah, she probably got recognized and it caused a ruckus.

ayuuk · #20 27th February 2012, 02:00 PM

Just woke up and got the TA email. LOL I also rushed to TA site hoping to find the covers but... no.

Really wish I were in Japan so I can probably go to the premium preview!
