Also can't wait to buy one of those t-shirts for fifty bucks off Yahoo Auctions and wear them. What an exquisite stroke of creative genius. I really love how she takes inspiration from some of the most original parts of fashion history - the ICONIQUE rock band t-shirt with album art carefully and artisanally placed on a 100% cotton (I'm sure it's organic/free trade cotton too!) - and makes it her own by placing her own album cover on it.

What a true return to form!

Made my day, can't stop laughing. xD

Digipak? Now I can almost forgive them for not including the slipcase with the box version haha

Agree! The Party Queen Box is way too huge imho.
This one is as nice as the CdM TA Version. Compact and classy ^^

Exactly, it looks so "over the top"
I prefer Boxes like A Complete or Colours.

Looking forward to receiving my deluxe edition already. Also happy with the t-shirt, although yes they are cheap, as it resembles the one Ayu wore at the RnRC Tour and since then I've always wanted a t-shirt like that.

[js_surrealism]

I gotta say looking at the box -- it looks pretty nice. I just wish there were some reason in terms of the musical content for me to buy it. A bonus track, redone vocals, rearrangement, something. The re-mastering is nice but -- unless I'm reading it wrong -- it's not even HD audio right?

EDIT:
Saw this comment somewhere else but I thought it was a great suggestion -- a remastered re-release of a song for xx would have been ace, seeing as how it came out so long ago, and would truly benefit from a remaster.

I also think my PQ box is wayyy too big. I love my RnRC box and the vinyl-sized sets though!

Hoping I receive the t-shirt with the main slipcase cover on it.

A COMPLETE was the perfect box.

I was about to ask this, too. But the tracklist in the official website is not updated, or Avex purposely does not want to leak the surprise yet...?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

The old vocal tracks? New recordings?

The bonus tracks will only be for the digital release.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

They're only included on the digital version of the album. :-|
