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

[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.

[Earth_maiden]

I want to know what a certain devout troll thinks of the covers and if he'll start praying for her anew...

[Andrenekoi]

@everlastingRAINBOW
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

No you didn't call me that, but I was wondering since you wrote out very clearly that isthisLOL can comfirm that you guysgot the whole idea before Ayu even said something on twitter. You also added the whole rocket sience thingy that just made your statement look like "OMG we got it and YOU didn't?! It's not hard AT ALL to understand."

And yes I get what you say about the music and all. But really. The thing I was talking about was the covers only and why I don't enjoy them as you do. I don't have any music to compare the whole album with. My main statement was not "I don't like the covers, they are crappy and empty and doesn't say anything". My statement was more like "when so many people don't get the idea before Ayu need to tell us on twitter what she meant, maybe it's not just fans going crazy and stupid, maybe it is because of the simple reason - the executuion failed." I'm not saying that you should agree with me or whatever. I'm just saying that I think it might be some truth behind people not getting the covers concept. (At least for the moment until they hear the songs).

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.

Actually, it was to go more on the lines of "I'm not making it up to look smart, I was talking with someone who can confirm this"

But sorry for making u feel dumb anyway

[MissElin_]

^No I don't feel dumb after your comment. It just felt a bit like a rule technique to make people agree with you more. But yeah thanks anyways.

Also you didn't answer if you got what I said about the covers (since that was the main reason of us discussing) but I guess you maybe got what I said since you're leaving your answer blank.

[KuuXAyu-fan]

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

agree..I could have been expecting all but not a cover with a 33 years old ayu in lingerie.
I don't mean she's old, she's still young and sexy with a 33 years old consciousness,so I don't see any need to get naked...What's next?

P.S: I've never noticed her breast was so prominent..congrats!!

[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.

[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.

[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!

[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.


xD

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.

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?
