Party Queen / Power of Music / CDL 2011-2012 official covers

[truehappiness]

I don't think she means that she's ever been called a Party Queen. Think of it as a title of a magazine like "ViVi" or "BLENDA".

You know, I wonder if this album is going to be her interpretation of the media's interpretation of her. Like when she'd go out drinking with friends... and this entire album is her own commentary on it?

[Eewyi]

And apparently...Ayu herself thinks I'm right!~ [She even praises me (^///^) It's my first reply from her I'm so happy!]

And that is why they are. They'll be the first thing people see when the promotion starts.

yeah...i agree. nothing has been said lately about her lately that seems to correspond to this. a better title would be something to do with being untruthful since a lot of people accused her of lying in regards to her marriage/divorce.

imagine these covers with the title of "liar" haha! much better (if she hadn't already used that title) in my opinion.

But the thing is that the photo doesn't suddenly become meaningful because the word "HOPE" is slotted into the word "FIVE". The photo is still the photo and it's become nothing more since then...

I still hate the covers, although I kinda see the idea of a lonely person filling their life with parties and drugs/alcohol, but I stand by my comment that it could have looked so much nicer than this. Just because of this concept doesn't mean the covers have to look like this...

i like that a lot, but i'd like it a lot MORE if she didn't sing "i am your party queen" lol.

[isthisLOL?]

I speculated on the first thread after the announcement that the title is ironic. These covers and the tracklist seem to support that. I bet it will end up being a "party girl realizes it's not what she really wants and/or falls in love" story. The tracklist seems to transition upbeat->dramatic rock-> ballads. And most of her albums had a storyline to them. The whole reason NEXT LEVEL seemed so messy to many people is that the tracks were arranged in story order, not in an order that sounds best.
The last times she was as "trashy" as this they were somewhat parodies, too, namely Startin' and Sparkle.

But we'll see. Not sure where exactly the magazine thing can fit in there but it somehow work synchronity-esque.

[Kagome-chan]

LOOOOOOL it's quite ridiculous (as always)

orrible covers = OMG OMG END OF HER CAREER!! GOODBYE AYU!

Orrible covers = orrible album

Seriously, wtf.

oh please, I don't think her whole career and album quality depends on how covers looks. If they do, (m)u would be a huge mess and Love songs her best selling album so far.

If the speculations are true, I smell "alterna" ~part II~

"If you are afraid of changes
Watch me at a distance
Whether or not I may do something
It makes no difference
Let it be"

Well, it'd be her spin on being portrayed as a 'party queen alcoholic' I guess, hahaha.

[ohsixthirty]

she just said that what party queen wanted most was FREEDOM but she thinks its never going to happen.

[jewelbox]

WELL.. At least I found something very positive after this shock.. POM cover is nice.

[kendelle]

'Freedom' thats what she most wanted 2 but its never gonna happen I THINK RT @MADMishi_Ghost: @ayu_19980408 Aw yes she does look lonely..

So, is this a stab at the media or avex?
