Also if you take a look at that site, you'll see the upcoming tracks of the countdown in order. That ruins the surprise! :laugh

Countdown 20 - Kumuri Uta

So I recently joined her fanclub and I received my first issue of her fanclub magazine. I don't think I've ever seen photos from/of her fanclub magazines before, so I didn't know what to expect... but it actually is really nice quality and well put together! :) I think it's a really nice bonus that she sends this out to her fanclub.

I quickly went through and took photos of the pages, so if anybody is interested, you can view it here! :)

Lots of really nice photos of her and a nice summary of what she's been doing these past few months!

Love it! Thanks for sharing :heart

thank you for sharing! it's really cute

Countdown 21 - More More



Had to dig through a little bit deeper because Avex uploaded a bunch of music videos in full...

I love how avex is pushing her now despite the low sales!
Love all those promos and campaigns.
Condidering avex states on their company website, that their strategy for their artists in general is FC memerships and concert ticket sales, I take it as a good sign for her. Her FC fanbase is probably healthy. :)

Countdown 22 - PonPon

These are great and really well documented, thank you! It makes me miss the TeamAyu physical magazines :weep

Countdown 23 - TOKYO Sanpo



Countdown 24 - Zokkondition

Here comes a mass countdown spot drop... (Not to mention had to dig the Avex channel a bit deeper once again because of more Avex music video uploading...)

Ai has been posting photos with the products used in the countdown cms



Cute, I hope we see more.
It would be cool if she did some collab with a connivence store chain selling products like the food to promote the album :laugh

Product pictures part 2

Ai is actually doing quite decently on Oricon with this release! The album is #29 in its 2nd week on the overall Oricon charts with 7,222 points (pure sales, digital sales, and streaming equivalent units) total so far! Already outsold Love Tricky, Love honey, and Love Fantastic in two weeks.
