〓◎She is writing a Love Letter in her 14th thread◎〓
 

A little bit earlier still...= =! But it almost going to have 500 replies.. So..

Here's the new thread!^^

Thanks for the new thread^^

Me wants a new summer-ai-ballad, like Kingyo Hanabi or Kuroge, nagareboshi <3

nooooo enough ballads!!! i want a happy crazy song :luv2

and yay for new thread :D

I want a happy song AND a summer ballad :love

^ I wouldn't mind another Rocket Sneaker paired with another Sora to kujira <3 <3

I like Daisuki da yo but I don't like the video but the version featuring LOVE-chan is real entertaining/cute

I definitely hope she can release another summer single , just not sub par please , PV wise :no

that was what ruined for me when comes to Rocket Sneaker

Crazy happy summer song + sentimental summer ballad. B-sides galore please!

I think I want the crazy happy summer song more badly than ballads. She's been having SO MANY ballads, I want insane Ai back.

When will Cherish part II ever come again

I agree I want CHU Lip or another peach song

^yeah me too :luv2 a ballad is nice, but its SUMMER!!! i wouldnt mind a nice laidback b-side though :yes

OMG YES!! i hope that she will release one too! (but first a crazy song :lech )

I want some like Peach/Heart single xD

I wish for that too, it's the song that got me into Ai-Chin in the first place. There doesn't seem to be that much Ai-news lately :(

yeah! Ballad is for the end of summer ^^

A summer song like Happy Days ^^

^ I would love to have another happy days!!!!

Happy days is not really one of my favorite Ai's song

Same here - it's one of my fav Ai songs

^ mine too! That and PEACH, and planterium, and dasuki dayo!!

^ All three songs would work for me. Guess another PEACH/HEART single is what Ai fans want. Upbeat summer song and laidback, ballad-ish.

I want another double a-side summer single. :luv2

One mid-tempo or fast song, and one ballad slow song.

only in my dreams :weep

but anyway, i'd love another ballad like cherish or an upbeat song like CHU-LIP or PEACH :P come on, ai, stop making us wait! :scry

can she just come out with a peache/kingyo hanabi combo PLEASEE i miss Ai

I'd persoanlly prefer a SMILY/B-dama type release XD since she's deprived us of these kinda songs for long TT She should make up for it with a double-aside wit hthese kinda songs LOL :D

It's time to make SMILY or HAPPY DAYS type song... and I dun mind another Kingyo Hanabi..

OH YES LOL She should definitely have a long tube with two huge bags attached to it that shoots out white balls this time : ) ~! You know so she can continue her CHU-LIP trend : D and don't forget her crazy watermelon and fat men spree WOO ~!

Hopefully she forgets about the speedos >.>'' Do not want!

^ LOL me neither XD they can wear swimming trunks this time : D change it up right? XD

I want another "Shabondama"!!! :heart

What happened to the announced single? or was there even one? LOL I forget XD

it's said that there was a rumour going on a new single will be out on 9th Sept '09

not sure if it's true or not

LMAO Happy Days sounded like she was under the influence of something :lmfao

Pocket's under-rated , I agree with you :yes

ah so far x_x I was hoping the rumored single would be a summer one TT if its a winter one then there goes some hope for a crazy upbeat single *sigh* lol.

I agree pocket is underrated but then again I can understand why. Its a song that doesn't stick on too much at the beginning but it grows on to you afterwards lol! Altho i loved it from the start, but I'm a hardcore ai fan LOL I don't count XD

^ IMO Pocket is the type of song you need to have patience with... if not I don't think you can grow to like it...

^ I liked Ticket better ^^. I still want a double a-side with a summer ballad and something really upbeat and catchy :)

^ LOL actually I use to like pocket better, but later ticket became the better song XD! The irony. Too bad it was only a b-side D: I think ticket would've been a better album track than lets say, Creamy Spicy or Kimi-fetch. Like I like those 2 songs, but ticket was definitely more appealing to me XD

am I the only one who doesn't care that much for her B-sides ?

I don't know , it's always a miss issue for me which's a bit sad :(

^ i always love her b-sides!! the only b-side i dont like is H2O

didnt we have this convo before in this thread :P

I agree! Her B-sides are just so amazing! But I do like H2O though :)

lol I never listen to her b-sides for some reason... The previews just don't get me exicted for them :P

One of my favorite songs of hers is Natsu Sora, which was a b-side. (I think.)

yesssss. i love that song so much :luv2

^^ wow..new ai thread...
>_< i want another chu-lip song with that hilarious dance movement!!!

^omg yes!!! i hope she'll make a song with some dances we can learn :lech

your really missin something :OO
natsu sora was one of my first+favorite songs when i first began to listen to her! its such an awesome song! other great b-sides are tears, hanikami jane and hoshikuzu :luv2 i also always loved coco natsu vacation XDD

ayuayu798 you really are missing out. Lets say there's an A-side you didn't like, the B-side(s) can make up for it. Like "Natsu Sora", "tears", "Sora to Kujira", "drop.", "Ticket", "Kimi ni Kaeru.", and "Renai Shashin -Haru-".

Sora to Kujira l'd love this song so much~
but... i never hear other b-side aisong'..T.T

Well can you tell me what singles they came from.. since I forgot lol and i'll check them out again please :)

I always thought "B-sides" weren't even worth the listening to until I discovered how amazing Ai's are. I even made a compilation album called "(Ai) LOVE B-SIDES" on my iPod. The best ones are:

Natsu Sora
tears
Kimi ni Kaeru
Hanikami Jane
Haneari Tamago (Live Version)
Ticket

Seriously, they are amazing and oh so beautiful. One morning after having stayed up all night and having been completely drained, I just sat outside in the rain and listened to Natsu Sora, tears, and Haneari Tamago (Live Version) and it was perfect.

I love a lot of her B-sides, they are amazing.

I love some of her remixes that was made by Dj Amaya, they're awesome!:)

^ OMG, the LOVE no THEME Remix is the best everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Seriously, it's perfect.

EDIT: I'm gonna upload the compilation I've made. Here's the artwork for it and tracklist...

I wanna happy song like Peach!!

^ omg i love pretty voice!! its one of my favorites form love punch :luv2

:hi5 THAT SONG IS THE **** XDD

today i just watched AI PV in local TV station, i was stunned

You're so lucky!!! :eyes :scry

For some reasons I'm so addicted to Ame Iro Parasol! It's so awesome! At first I used to hate it so much but since I was receiving Amaenbo single I forced myself to listen to it, and now I love it so much!

And, also, have you ever listened to instrumental version of tears? God, it's so sad! In original version Ai's vocals hide up all the sad violins and awesome instruments playing in background so you just really need to listen to the instrumental alone, lol.
(Btw. I'm not saying that Ai's vocals are bad or something, don't get me wrong xD)

tears has one of my favorite arrangements ever <3

jokes aside , setlist's pretty good & her red T-shirt outfit's nice

I love the arena tour pics. I don't think I've ever seen her in kimono before, she looks good in it! ^^

hope this helped you a bit

^ It helped me a lot, thanks Poetgirl! :)

So many songs from her Love Letter album. *__*

anytime!

i really like love letter album, whole concept of it and more mature sound is pleasant to hear from ai

lol :( i never like any of her outfits for her tours. they're too strange. BUT that red shirt outfit is kind of nice because it looks normal :laugh her hair long like that looks good too.

@_@ aaaa...too simple costumes,,,or strange?
where's the dress she used in 360° PV??

^she always has or simple outfits or strange outfits XDD but i like it!! it fits ai's image :P
ohh the dress from 360 would be cool if she would wear that in her concert :O maybe she will!! i think there are more outfits!!
cant wait to hear Shachihatta live XD

and yeah. i miss her long hair :weep

Btw what's with her wig in the white dress O_O

i think she's always using a wig for her concert
like last year concert.,,..using wig for every perfomance^^

yea. ai's image so simple!

Didn't even notice the multi-coloured outfit til now. Like it so much more than the inflated beach pants.

I've found out that Ai's concerts on May 23rd and 24th in Osaka (surprisingly, on the same venue as Ayu's concerts on the 20th and 21st) have been canceled; click on this link for more info:
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90215

wow.. she looks great in kimono in the arena tour picts!!

aww.. it's a pity that she can't perform in Osaka cos of the outbreak thing.

I didn't had a good impression of otsuka musically & that goes for my younger sister too

things helped after I heard Planetarium though

I've notices that too. It makes me think that Ai-chin is one of those "down to earth" artists who achieves fame wthout having that super-diva athmosphere around them. That makes me like her most ^_^

OMG thank you so much! I actually don't have/have never listened to most of these!

I love that song! It's perfect for the summer!! :yes

She looks amazing with that long hair and in those kimono!!! Her tour looks like it's really good!

OMG I LOVE IT. BIG, BIG UPGRADE FROM LAST YEAR! Seriously, I love Ai with all my heart, but 2008's tour outfits made it look like she got dressed in the dark...

I like the setlist--especially Himawari! It's so underrated. But no Kumuriuta? Boo.

^ namiie you are back :O I havent seen you for awhile and I do agree : ) ~! lol! Her tour outfits are so nie this time around <3 Too bad the DVD didnt sell well TT

omg I love her outfits better than her last tour!! It makes me want to watch it even if I don't like love letter very much!

:wave I'm glad to be back! Summer vacation is awesome...

Actually, thank you for reminding me!! I picked up the LOVE LETTER album itself a few months back, but I completely forgot the 2009 Tour DVD came out early this year. I'm so used to it coming out in June or July or something.

^ omg reminds me of school and how I'm such a lazy bum LOL D: ~!!! I Should really work harder or at least jsut work or show up in university LMAO :laugh

Yeah I was wondering why her DVD came out so early DX Why do i have this feeling avex is planning to ditch Ai like they did to BoA? DX It seems liek they're trying to gather whatever sales they can from her now and to let her die off later : (

^ lol don't say that! I'm sure they have a new statergy up their sleeves! :)

I don't know if someone already said that but Love letter tour 2009 is available in DVDiso on KMC

thanks dear but I don't download concert DVDs off the net so yeah haha :laugh

nice hair! i miss Long Hair Ai too

you're welcome^^
I don't know if I'll watch it. I don't really like love letter album :no

whaat?? the DVD is already out?? thats fast :thud

ha! this will be my first ai tour that i will watch completly! i hope .___.

i still want to watch the love piece tour! i just watched the beginning and it was AWESOME!! maybe im gonna watch that first hmmm

me too I have no idea how much I DISLIKE it initally a month it leaked before its original release date

I had so much hatred towards it because it was so meh on 1st listen just like ARASHI's Dream"A"live

I'm ok with both albums now , just that I will not consider them as my fave albums from each artiste

I definitely recommend the Love[99]Cook 2006 tour as well! Also, the JAM PUNCH 2005 tour was what made me first fall in love with Ai, so that is also a must-watch :D
