[errikkutrancex]

oh god !!!!! At last, such a powerful song !!!!!! soooooooo gooodd !!!! The real Queen Ayu is back !

[BlackSilence]

i've purchased the song off of iTunes and listened to the HD version. It's good but i'm still not doing backflips over it. I could do backflips over the intro, though. Maybe it'll grow on me.

I ADORE this single!! Everything from the cover to the song itself is awesome. Only thing I don't really care about is the game though.

Oh and could I kindly please get this cover in this size without the text?

Quick, maybe stupid, question on iTunes: I'm considering buying the song even without being a big fan, because show support and blabla, but if I buy it now and it ends up on an album, will iTunes make me buy it again? I guess it's only 1€ something in any case but just out of curiosity.
I'm asking because I clearly remember iTunes showing something like "complete this album for xx€", with a tiny discount, but although I purchased Many Classic Moments before on the cover album, I paid MIJ full price.

I've had this experience with another release by another artist on iTunes Canada. The answer is NO they won't make you pay again as long as it's listed as the same artist. You have to be careful though. I find on iTunes in my country sometimes they put her name as 'Ayumi Hamasaki' and other times as '浜崎あゆみ' on the song info. Anyways, it won't download that particular track as part of the album when you go to purchase it with all the new songs which you didn't already have (unless as I said it doesn't recognize it as the same artist). At this point you have to edit the information on the single to match everything on the album like the album title, year, genre, cover art etc.

Recochoku is a daily chart.
Sales from yesterday are published today.
iTunes e.g. is an hourly chart.

#3 on iTunes Malaysia today

I know...I even make a daily updated thread for recochoku if u remember..but I don't see it charting yesterday..maybe I need to refresh my browser...

^ if you click on "Ranking" from the recochoku home page it takes you to the chart for September 29th for some reason. But if, for example, you go to the album ranking (or just remove the "affiliate" part from the link) and then back to single ranking, it shows you the ranking for September 30th. Maybe that will solve the issue?

[AyuGAME]

There is an error on recochoku chart? Thx.. I will give it a try.

[Surreal17]

Yeah, I also see the 29/09 thing. But I see We are the QUEENS at #1 in the single section.

Ugh, I wasn't all that into the song the first time I heard it but now I can't stop listening to it. I love the chorus now. It's going to be killer live.

[truehappiness]

The verses now that I think about it really do sound kind of like an Ami Suzuki track, lol.

The first line in the verses in really similar to Delightful


(awhhh mid 2000s jpop was so good)

[Toniayu123]

Seriously, her best song in 2016. I need more music like this from her. Everything is perfection, music, lyrics, even her voice sounds better than it did in MIJ.

[Chris85]

I agree with it being the best song of this year

[Katsuyuki012]

I also have to say that We are the QUEENS is the best song by Ayu in 2016. I mean, I love songs like FLOWER, Survivor or Mad World too but I'd still prefer We are the QUEENS, although the lyrics aren't that good as in Mad World, FLOWER and so on (but I still find them very motivating). But I also have to say that when I first heard the line "Yes we are the QUEENS" at a-nation (although she first sang queen not queens right? They also wrote queen without the s I think but I'm glad they changed that) I just hoped it'll be a song and when I first heard the chorus in the CM I was like "OMG! YESSS!" and I couldn't wait for it's release! Now I'm listening to it on repeat as f**k! xD Btw the name gives me my name's WOMEN vibes.

Definitely not.

[Evan Odinson]

Comparing We are the QUEENS with FLOWER or Mad World is kinda difficult, they are pretty different, We are the QUEENS is totally pop while the other 2 are more Rock influenced, so if you like more one than the other is probably due it's style
