Both have their strengths and weaknesses, JAPONESQUE is very well developed, the artwork is incredible, and most pvs are between being meh and very good, though some of the songs are just bad or boring

Party Queen has the songs, I love every single one of them, but the artwork is bad and the pvs are horrible.


I seriously can't decide which one's better lol And yeah as someone else said already, they are quite different, so they can't be really compared.

Party Queen... Japonesque I LOVE a few songs, but the rest aren't really my style. Party Queen has more songs that are my style.

I won't vote but... Koda's PVs in the album are way better. Same goes for the covers.

I'm stunned that JPNSQ has held on to the lead. I figured that Ayu would be 50 votes in the lead by now.

Party Queen, JAPONESQUE is just a generic album with one or two catchy songs...

Wow, I'm surprised JAPONESQUE is winning right now, I was so underwhelmed with it. Party Queen, on the other hand, grew on me a ton in a really short amount of time. I love pretty much every song on it. JAPONESQUE has no songs I'm absolutely in love with and only a few I REALLY like. The rest I either don't like or don't care about at all. I'm basing all of this on music alone though, as anyone voting should. JAPONESQUE of course has better covers and PVs, without question.

I chose JAPONESQUE because it has so much variety in it, every song is a winner in my eyes and I love it to pieces.

I picked Party Queen because I constantly listen to the first 3/4 of the album up until "Tell me why".

JAPONESQUE is very cohesive and well produced overall. But there were some filler tracks that were 'meh', and a few dance tracks had mediocre melodies.

With Party Queen (and all other ayu albums) I never feel like there are filler tracks, even if I don't like the last four songs in PQ.

JAPONESQUE, because I can't listen Ayu's albuns until the last song since RnRC and this is not a exception for me. I like almost 5 or 6 songs on Party Queen (which is great, I dont like any song on Love Songs), and it's a good album, but I only can listen to individual songs and not the whole album together, it just get boring sometimes.

JAPONESQUE is still fresh when it's on the middle of the album, when you think it's gonna slow down it comes the INTERLUDE, and the other half is even more exciting.

I never thought in a million years I would EVER pick an Ayu album over Kuu's, but in this case I will.

In my opinion 'Japonesque' as a whole was just a watered down version of some of Kuu's previous albums with slight variation. Better cover art? Definitely. Better PVs? Hell Yeah. Better sounding album? Nope.

JAPONESQUE for me.
I do love the middle part of Party Queen, but that's pretty much it.
Not a big fan of the first and the last part and also the interludes.
Though there are some weaker songs on JAPONESQUE as well, I prefer it as an album.
It offers so much, production overall is great and I stil love to listen to it as a whole after 2 months.
