not bad...good luck Ai

Man, I was shocked when I read the sales, but.... Like a few others mentioned, this isn't the best...you know, best album, so... :shrug I mean, I've heard a few reviewers complain that her first best was only singles, but I think that's how it should be. Because 90% of the time, a singer's best songs are from singles. And that was totally the case in Ai's first best. The tracklist for that is amazing; I love nearly every song on there.
So, at least she got number one! :yes

Butbutbut... I like PONPON. XD (I realise that not many do though, lol! :laugh)

I seriously think she should have included:

Natsu Sora

^ Yes!!! I absolutely love that song. :heart So soothing, yet so powerful.

was this posted before?

is she already on the tour again?

I want the bag and pink tee!

nope but thanks for posting them I haven't seen them yet either

anyway I was at HMV earlier on . They brought in the Japan press / 1st press / CD only of LOVE is BEST

LOL the LOVE GLASSES are stuffed in between the packaging LMAO xD . I think it's being folded -_-'''

I LOVE PONPON XDDDD

hmmm but if she included that song it wouldnt be LOVE is BEST anymore :P since its a sad song and all,,


i love her tour goodiess!!!! i want that bag!! :luv2

^ Glad there's at least one more fan. :P

Ooh, I like her goods! (Wait, that sounded wrong...meh.) I would like the sweat bands, and the bangles, and the little silver chain thingy with mini black bag thingy, and....are those neon markers??? :thud Or just fancy glowsticks, I assume?.. :(

Nice to see that LOVE is BEST got number one.

The sales were kinda predicted, imo:

-Very "hardcore fan" BEST with bunchs of B-Sides, Sakuranbo, Daisuki Dayo. and Renai Sashin were obviously there to "blockbust" the sales a bit including some of her biggest hits (tho Sakuranbo has been overused to death, I don't think it was a wise decision to try to sell it again). Unknown songs don't really boost people's interest to buy it, since they may think "if it was a B-side and didn't end up in an album, probably is not such a good song".

-Only two versions, which is ok, if not because they had the same exact covers.

-Beautiful and artistic cover, but Ai didn't really look like Ai (maybe this was a little offputing? I mean, at first glance it doesn't looks like Ai Otsuka (and her name is not on the cover)) tho this is more secondary.

-Lack of promotion, she has not been on TV yet, nor magazines (that I know of).

omg i want ALL of those collectibles :love

i like natsu sora too. i like a lot of her b-sides actually. especially hoshikuzu

Ooh, I like Hoshikuzu, too. :yes Funny, I never hear about her B-sides. And they aren't terrible like a lot of artists' are. :\
