[Ai Otsuka] ✪ New album "LOVE POP", 8.12! Join the Ai in her 22nd thread ✪

[bluegie]

I have the original Ai am BEST... so what was the last song in that album (not that ba-ba-shi ba-ba-shi)??

Edit: Seems like the last song in Ai am BEST is LOVE MUSiC. But then, this new one doesn't have Daisukidayo, Cherish, Biidama, and LOVE MUSiC... Hmmn.. I also have LOVE PiECE, so I also have Renai Shahin, CHU-LIP, PEACH, and Kumuri Uta.

I will wait and see if all her pvs in blu-ray then. If so, I think I will get this one as well .

Spoiler:

[Xianghua]

Ai mentioned on Instagram that she recorded a new song today. Since the only new song being released on Ai am Best, too is 'Dear you' and has already been recorded, we will probably be getting a new single!

[Xianghua]

Jacket for Ai am Best, too.

Seems that the cover is the same for each version.
The DVD and Blu-Ray have recordings from 15th Anniversary live LOVE IS BORN

The TSUTAYA hand towel:

That's a letdown. I was hoping for all the mvs in Blu-ray.

And I'm not sure whether I wanna get it. I have Ai am BEST and LOVE PiECE, so technically I have about half of the songs from too. To be honest I'm not really fond of Ai's post-hiatus songs... Pocket is not on the normal editions (only appears in FC edition).

Have a think about it...

I agree, especially since she doesn't include all the PVs on her albums and you have to buy the separate singles with the DVD to watch some of them. I'm not sure I'll worry about purchasing right away then, it can wait.

When I saw the news that she was releasing another best album, I immediately checked if she's touring. Happy to say that she is

It's still ages away, but I plan on going to one of these dates Always wanted to see her, and the fact that this is a greatest hits tour makes me even happier

[thinkingoutloud89]

underwhelming

[Celaphorce]

While I’m happy she’s showing the b-sides some love there could be others that would make that track list 100x better but beggars can’t be choosers.

[Xianghua]

Cherish has always been one of my favorites from her so I'm happy that song is getting some love.

[haraiso]

Interesting to see the results of the fan vote. Some of the songs seem like obvious winners, but I'm surprised Pocket beat out like.... Daisuki da yo or Kurage as far as singles go. Happy to see Mirai Taxi though! That was such a great track and was a great album opener.

Still curious what she's going to include on the DVD/Bluray...

@Bigtop I think you can order it through mu-mo without being apart of the fan club?

But I'm not sure if they ship overseas so you might need to use Tenso or something.

[Earth_maiden]

I want to know what's on the DVD already.

Glad to hear about that, but it's such an inconvenience having to use Tenso for mu-mo. I had to do so three and a half years ago with Ayaka's 'Rainbow Road' (ordering the FC edition).

I think Pocket was pretty among Ai fans back in the old days. I knew Dasuki was popular as well (it was her heyday). Not sure about Kurage, as reception was quite lukewarm when during the release.

Which was a damn shame if you ask me; Kurage is the love child of Kingyo Hanabi and Planetarium that we didn't deserve but she blessed us with anyways TT__TT

[Sandy]

About ai piano... I didn't even know about the other songs except for Kingyo Hanabi,
Ren'ai Shashin, and Neko ni Fuusen and I consider myself an Ai-fan o.O I feel very stupid now... Still want that official piano version of Friend :/
