Downloaded the FLAC version; nonetheless I'm having problems with the sound quality. The instrumental partially sounds so noisy and distorted. Actually a problem Ayu's more rockish songs have been suffering from for quite a while now.

Can anyone relate with that?

But neither have teenagers as their main audiences anymore, something really common for someone with a long career.

IMO The day they can't tour the numbers they do, or don't get tie-ins, or aren't invited to perform on big events is the day we could actually worry about the state of their careers... But I don't think we will ever get there.
Also I think tours are more important for artists... They earn much more money mostly!

I relate xD Sixxxxxx and M(A)DE IN JAPAN were really good in this aspect (comparing to Last Minute and WARNING), but We are the QUEENS is the worst.

Was there even a losless version? I mean since it's a digital single I'm not quite sure if there is a legit losless version around.
But you're right nontheless that her more rockish songs are suffering from a noisy and distorted sound for quite a while now.

At least that's what I thought :O I've downloaded a FLAC file and my idea was that it had to be an authentic digital lossless release. Maybe I have fallen for a transcode, I don't know D:

^I don't think I ever saw a lossless digital single, so my guess would be that it's a transcode and you have to wait for a physical release.

^ Iirc they sell ultra-HQ versions or whatever on some websites sometimes. I've seen someone saying that We are the QUEENS was sold on one of them, so maybe it's that?

i also thought there is something really off with the mixing with this. And it bothers me too. Cuz i cannot make a clear opinion about the song because of his.

I too am disappointed in the sound of We are the Queens. It was mastered REALLY loud with a very low dynamic range.
It's such a terrible practice in the music industry.
