omg I would never. I actually like LOVE and again but the way she released the album was just atrocious...

omg I'm stanning so hard for this single

Love Again might as well be Ayumi's worst era musically, I can't recall how a single song from the album sounds (A ONE has, well, at least one memorable song).

Excited for Suiyoubi, does that mean that UMA is classified as an EP too, poor my year-end album list.

Um, but LOVE again has a lot of good songs. It's just the release method that ****ed everything up.

Missing, Song 4 U, SAKURA, Gloria, Melody, Sweet Scar, Petal and Ivy >>>

Excited for Suiyoubi's album!

I'm sorry everyone I'm high and I was smoking more when I was putting up the news and forgot to mention the album is called SUPERMAN I kind of called it when she announced the tour though

I like the singles. Song 4 u, Wake me up, snowy kiss, Sweet scar and Ivy... the rest sounds like a bunch of old demos.

exactly

Fantome has about just as many good songs yet it's her worst according to you. The logic.

I might be exaggerating (there are some good song on LA), but I feel like it's better to have a couple of good songs on a bad album like Party Queen than having good songs on a bland album where they just blend with each other.

I didn't say it was a good album?

And no tbh. LOVE again >>> Party Queen.

I do agree that some of it is forgettable and the album would be improved significantly if there were less tracks overall, but still. The album just suffers from being too safe for it's own good, but again, I wouldn't say it's bad.

i love the SUPERMAN cover!

Is that the album cover? It's stunning.

Party Queen is Ayu's worst era and that is not up for debate or discussion, it's just fact.

Party Queen has some good tracks, but people hate the weird jazz-esque tracks near the end

If I hear one more person mention Party Queen...we don't talk about that album or era.

saturday night...

yes it is! I love it too.

I love them. my boyfriend was randomly browsing through my Ayu playlist and hit play on the next LOVE. the GP loves a lil jazz. such a jam

yeah but NaNaNa and Shake it♥ go off

putting the two albums being discussed aside and comparing track with track, interlude with interlude (minus Gloria and Serenade in A minor):

Party queen vs Wake me up
NaNaNa vs Song 4 u
Shake It♥ vs Missing
taskebab vs task'n'bass
call vs SAKURA
Letter vs Melody
reminds me vs Bye-bye darling
Return Road vs snowy kiss
Tell me why vs Sweet scar
a cup of tea vs glasses
the next LOVE vs petal
Eyes, Smoke, Magic vs untitled for her... story 2
Serenade in A Minor vs Gloria
how beautiful you are vs Ivy

Party Queen wins it's just the concept and photoshoot that sucks. but the original pictures wouldn't fit the album atmosphere I guess.

Party Queen was bad but it had a sprinkle of good songs. Everything after it has been badone AND boring, and even worse combination. What even is Love Again

So gals and gays, I want to host an in thread rate when we migrate to the new forum and y'all can pick between the following:

- Female vocal bands part 1 (Globe, Dreams Come True, Every Little Thing, etc.)
- Idol Rate Part 2: Hello Project
- The TK Girls (early Namie, Hitomi, Kahala, Ami, etc)

I would rather know now what's preferred so i can start getting it ready when I go back home next week so it's all ready for the new forum.

xoxo

either the TK girls or female vocal bands. but aren't we doing the best of 2016 rate once we migrate to the new forum?

TK gals ooo
