cute photoshoot! thanks! :P

I want her sea green tights!

Is there a way to see those imagine in full size? I can't get them bigger than the thumbnails. :/ They look so gorgeous!!! :(

I'm guessing that is only size that's avaiable.

Congrats Sugarbasil for your new position. :yes

Those pics are so lovely. :love

Same here. The pics look awesome. And I want to see her clothes in detail. :(

the photoshoots are nice. But Ai back to short hair again??!! oh my..

Thanks! ^_^ I get to cover all of the music threads, which pretty much means I'm gonna die with all the drama that goes down in the Artist and Bands section. :thud Y'all better best behave!! I'm watching you!!! *points fingers* Haha. But there are never any problems in the Ai Otsuka thread. And that's pretty much because her fans rock hardcore. :laugh

And I really want to get my hair cut like hers. Once we get bigger pictures I'm gonna take them to my hairstylist and get it done. :)

ah!!! there is a bigger version! but you have to be logged in lol XDD i will post upload them en post them here :D

*goes off to imageshack*

guess she was just wearing a wig :(

EDIT:: OK!!! all uploaded :D:D


:love

actually, that photoshoot was really from last month, lol. (it was around the LOVE LETTER promotion time) so her current hair is either extensions, a wig, or it really did grow that long in such a short period of time, lol.

I don't really consider Ai as a fashionable person but those last few pics of her in red are so pretty :love

thanks hearted & looks like there only be an instrumental that will be included in Bye Bye - http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/3508932

:dead2

Damn, I was afarid that there would be no B-side.

:(

CDJapan stated on their site without the instrumental & I just emailed them to double check on this

Congrats on your new position.

The other day, I had wondered where Ryoko went, and whether they were going to get a 2nd MOD for this sub-forum, and then you came along! Good stuff! :D

wa.. wouldn't it be depressing to have onli 2 tracks on the single? o_O

There is no way the single will sell. . . if people like the song they will just buy the album, wont they? Maybe that the plan, lol?

It just seems stupid to have this as a single, maybe a digital single with a pv? But I have the feeling this is going to chart horribly and will kill any momentum she had left.

(don't get me wrong though, I want this to be number 1, I'm just highly doubting that at this point lol)

The way I see it, avex is just releasing this re-cut single to keep her in the spotlight. <_<

^ yeah.. can't expect it to go too well for the way they are doing for Bye Bye.

not that Star

I have a feeling that it wouldn't have a B-side at all which sucks man , she's prob going to have the same type of results as Ken Hirai when he put out his 1st one last April which totally bombed
