THIS X 1 000 000 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I will never understand 'the concept' and 'the beauty' of these shots
the more I see them the more I get
at least there's 1 shot with Tim, if he had been everywhere again I think I could have practically died

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^Why is it trashy and tacky? Just because of what she's wearing? :/

[love in music]

the booklet is so hot
but this picture... http://i.imgur.com/IDtjk.jpg
she looks sick.
edit: oops didn't realize it was all one big picture. i meant the "the next LOVE/ESM" pages

@Pieces_of_SEVEN: Tacky because of the way the font is outlined in white (which looks awful imo) on some songs and the way the background/gradient fades into the pictures. Trashy because of what she's wearing, the "purposely" bad photo composition, how she looks grossly thin in a few of the shots, etc. Also the fact that the hotel room is literally trashed.

I agree with you. She looks painfully thin. I don't see anything sad or lonely about these pictures, except for the one where she's passed out on the table. Otherwise, she just looks like someone who partied hard the night before. Trashing your room usually isn't sad behavior--it's ROCK STAR behavior!

Ayu completely failed to execute the concept of a sad, lonely party queen. I'd expect to find a booklet like this in a Ke$ha album, not an Ayu album.

I noticed that on Avex's official Ayu website, on the tracklist "Shake It" is written like this "Shake It♥" but the booklet scans have it printed like this "Shake It ♥".

I need to tag everything perfectly for my MP3 discography. What should I do? x)

On TA it's also written as Shake It ♥. I'd use that! Also, I always trust the booklet the most.

^ I would go by the booklet scans, personally. Her official site has a lot of incorrectly tagged songs.

Thanks for the clearing up! I hate it when I have wrongly tagged music in my library XD. Glad to know I am not the only one!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

OK, seriously, I need a Party Queen poster in my life. I'm really hoping they show up on YesAsia and eBay... *fingers crossed* they should, right? Obvi I want the CD+2DVD cover.

[isthisLOL?]

I think the picture where she is just...laying there like she fell asleep drunk embodies the sad party queen aspect, as does the trashed room. The rest is completely up to definition, it can either be taken as trashy or as concept.

[TeamAyu2004]

^^ okay how do people know they were not for party queen? Because she took them in New York along with the calendar?
I mean, heaven forbid if the woman multitasks.
She could of have Party Queen planning since her mini-album came out, even before, hence why she had the mini-album because none of that music fits on this album.

Because she said that she shot the covers for PQ in London, according to a tweet from her, but the covers we got were from a trip to New York. The New York shots were originally for something else, but got turned into the PQ shots. This is what I have come to understand.

[relmy]

She looks so skinny! D: Why can't she dance around in a bikini when she has curves?

I'd like these more if she just had a different hairstyle!!

[RayJason]

Whenever ayu is thin she is 'overly thin'
Whenever ayu is a bit fuller she is 'fat'.

omfg. She looks good now to be honest!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I just covered how beautiful you are

I wanna do Return Road, but it's hard when I don't have an instrumental of the song. sigh

[jewelbox]

I've never seen Ayu as a "Party Queen"(idk has she even time to party?), this partying and drinking lonely queen and the whole concept was probably inspired by Timmy.
The booklet is OK. Gotta agree about the white outlined font. It's horrible.

do you think she ruined her voice by crack alone or what.



still not a friend of the photoshoot either. this whole concept is very poorly executed for what it is trying to get across.

The concept itself kinda sucks and I can't imagine how would these pics look even if the execution was better. Imo they were meant to be gross and tacky...

[toniayu]

no how beautiful you are photo-shoot on the booklet?
