I actually very much prefer the studio version of party queen.

Probably because idk I don't want a happy, fun party song.

I think I want a serious song lol Just because of the vibe I get from this album...idk it's very serious to me in a way..."serious" in the sense that, it deals with some pretty heavy and complex ideas.

idk whatever. I feel the studio version is more successful at conveying those messages.

Looking back at old interviews, I love how Ayu's always responding to questions about how "the title of this album isn't at all like we expected." with "Of course, because it's me (Ayu), this is always how things turn out."

Though it only happens with the titles that aren't dark in some way.

I think Party queen's studio version is very empty sounding. Like, it's tinny, if that makes sense.

It sounds unfinished.

I don't hate it, but it definitely won't be my favorite. Live version is much better, imo.

And also, the "kanpai" parts sound like they're cut off abruptly at the end...

I agree; the studio version sounds vacant. It's possible that this is how she implies her Party-queen-sadness.

I like the "Kampai!" in the studio version more, but yeah, it sounds like it's cut off too early. Maybe if it lasted another second or so?

The backing track sounds pretty "empty", too, maybe that'll come through better in HQ, or perhaps this is the sadness coming through? Gah, maybe instead of a hidden track, we'll get a hidden PV? lol!

I seriously don't understand people judging a LOW QUALITY RADIO RIP of a song as if it's any 100% clear indication of how the song will sound in a decent quality. Buuuut it does makes for an interesting read so lol overanalyse on, my friends.

^ LQ? Okay, the rip isn't high quality but it is not low either. We can definetely hear the instrumentals, back vocals, Ayu's vocal etc. etc. People judge what they hear. Do you understand now?

Party Queen is a 96kbit/s rip, if it was 128kbit/s we could somewhat judge the instrumental, 96 can completely hide instruments.

It's a full track, live version was pretty much enough to judge it let alone the radio rip. It's not going to sound so much better, as it's essentially far from amazing.

I can't judge 'emptyness' of arragment but I can hear from LQ that is pretty boring (the music itself, it's a whoop whoop all the song with some sounds in 'I am your Party queen') but vocals and vocal melody is awesome, I LOVE BRIDGE so much I'm gonna cut this into a ringtone when HQ pops up

Where are the backing vocals in the chorus? Are there any? I think that might be why it sounds so empty.
