When I was talking about the experimental-ness of LOVE LETTER I was trying to remember 360 but all I could remember was the "merry go round" part ( :laugh ). That's an awesome song/PV and I wouldn't mind if she did more stuff like that.

The description really isn't all that telling.

Just she debuted 6 six years ago, her most well known song was about love between two people, she is hand picking the love songs on her love song collection "LOVE is BEST", the new song's theme is "you're pretty when you're in love", some of the songs are rearranged, the tour release links with the concept of the new best.

Ai is an excellent and talented composer, maybe she should have recomposed some of the songs too, that would have been interesting.

I think it would have been extremely interesting to see her change some of her crazy up beat songs into ballads and vice veirsa. When Ayu did that with Evolution it was just amazing. I think Ai would produce some extremely interesting results. :yes

Probably ayu-inspired. HAHAHHA. But imo that looks hideous, sorry. LOL.

oh God her outfit is horrible and her hair reminds me of Tohoshinki's YooChun... lol hairs nowdays are getting more and more unisex

I like her hair... The color is pretty.

oh god

both hairdo & outfit in C.M.I (cannot make it) mode :no

but at least the saving grace's that her hair colour's not bad & not full on blonde like in CHU-LIP which really scares me @_@

Her hair just needs to be straightened. Then it'd be very pretty. But that outfit is gross.

lol the first pic looks like her outer outfit was dropping and we can see the tube inside @_@

the dress looks wrong to me, what happen to her? i thought she wears like white and pink long pants/shirt with super long hair in this year?

WOW you're right O__O. I'm loving the hair color but the style and that outfit... ( :no ) ( :P ).

the hair is good. but the outfit......well, it's ai after all, lol.

Hey, you're right! :tired

I like the color of her hair, but the style itself and her outfit is just sorta....:no It doesn't even really look like her there...

Oh, btw, does anyone have the inside scans of LOVE PiECE or LOVE JAM? I've never seen those...

:yes i agree. i actually think this outfit is quite good compared to the other stuff she wears lol

I think the same think about ayu's outfit!

I agree her hair remind me Angela aki's one.
Maybe she is a new fan of her :innocent
