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

[pepper]

Timmy is kinda big, or just Ayu is that small? (cause she is same height as me, 150~ around nah?)

[Hextan]

Almost feel bad for poor Timmy now

Even so, I do have another criticism :/ I've only seen the preview of the NaNaNa PV and, I dunno, his dancing just doesn't seem as sharp as everyone else's, even Ayu's. I know he's a guy but come on man! Just seemed a little clumsy, maybe that was the point? But hey, he can work on that

[YUKARI]

hahaha I've just downloaded the album and now listening to taskebab and WTF IS THIS DAFT PUNK OR WHAT ahahah

[emi♡]

It's not a cover. Dear god.

[channy]

^ But it sounds identical! D':

[Andrenekoi]

^It's the same composition, different arragment and lyrics... She just bought the right of recording the melody and make a new song from it, as she did before with Geo.

Tell me why is basically like what she did with the Sweetbox songs she did for (miss)understood. She bought the rights to use the composition, and wrote her own lyrics for the song.

Sweetbox's composer

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

A cover would be doing the same lyrics, etc right? She made it her own, so IT IS NOT A COVER or whatsoever.

[everlastingRAINBOW]

^ Well, musically it's the same...

melodically it's the same, musically it's very different.

@Larisa: I was really surprised to see corin there too~~

[Larisa-chan]

Uh so I haven't heard the album yet, but I hear that corin. composed NaNaNa???

I'm FREAKING OUT. She's composed a bunch of Rina Aiuchi's songs... and Rina is my second favorite singer behind Ayu, so..... I'M ECSTATIC. NEVER thought she would compose anything for Ayu in a million million years.

[RayJason]

NaNaNa PV preview got me all excited, but now I've seen the full PV I'm terribly disappointed. And not because of Timmy, but ayu and the gang. I thought that they were going to pull of a 'namie amuro' and go all hardcore dancing, but instead we get some awkward scene. The camera effect was cool the first time but then got boring quick and it seemed super overused. The whole time I was expecting a super cool dance scene, but everything was so meh.

The most terrible thing for me is that in the end with the 'tik tak' part she makes wrong lip movements? Not so sure if I see that right. .

[PoetGirl]

my brother stopped listening to Ayu since NL, and now I played to him Return Road and he was like 'that's so Ayu'. Im happy he's getting hooked up again.

I was the one who thought Timmy is too much in everything, or so it seemed but after watching NaNaNa video I like him so much lol, the next LOVE and Eyes, Smoke, Magic are two masterpieces in the PQ made by him and now he's so charming and fun in the video lol. I can't help but stare at him. I have to watch it once again to spot Ayu, he grabs all your attention haha. I love him. I think he has star power. And since he is so talented you can't blame him.

and about the pv itself its the laziest she ever done, but only thing I dont like its how dark it is, other than that is not that horrible except for the fact song deserves better. a lot better.

[everlastingRAINBOW]

As much as I love to bash Timmy, I am most fascinated by "the next LOVE" and "Eyes, Smoke, Mirror". Such an odd sound for Ayu. When I heard this album would have Jazz, I didn't realize she really would try a new crossover sound. "the next LOVE" is really beautiful, gives me a "GREEN" vibe. And ESM is just so cool, I imagine a whole burlesque routine. I really hopes she brings it with the theatrics for this show

[Gunner]

I don't suppose anyone knows any websites that still have copies of the Special Edition left available online? Was hoping to get myself a copy... >_<

[pepper]

^ I am pretty shocked she never did song like 'the next LOVE' cause her voice fits perfectly.

[Yumsushi]

Was there really a concept for NaNaNa? I would have thought for such a conceptual album she'd have conceptual PVs too but I guess we can't have everything. Return Road pls save the Pvs

[PoetGirl]

I guess the concept is she's going to party cause she has no life lol cause she's lonely queen? I thought thats the concept but party aint fun nor it does seem sad. it's like you ask yourself what did you just watch lol
