Yep, I'm curious about the DVD/Blu-ray track listing too!

Glad Cherish made disc 3 - it's one of my favourite Ai songs.

I believe that was the problem that Ai suffered during that period. Her songs were like children of previous songs. Kurage is definitely a good song, and it's a grower for me. In the beginning though I didn't really like it because (like you said) it sounded exactly like a love child of KH and Planetarium (Planetarium gave stronger genes ).

Looks like lawson has put up tickets for preorder, and the general sales will start in February.

And the tour has a headline 愛 am BEST, too tour 2019~イエス!ここが家ッス!~ (Yes! Koko ga Otssu!)

There will also be a meet and greet after the concert for a limited number of people at these venues:

Zepp Namba- 5 winners
Zepp DiverCity (TOKYO)- 5 winners
Sendai Darwin- 3 winners
Zepp Nagoya- 3 winners
Fukuoka BEAT STATION- 3 winners

To participate in the lottery, you have to buy the 3 disc version of 愛 am BEST, too from the fan club, mu-mo shop, or from a special event place. And only from purchases made by January 5th.

I wonder how much "Ai am BEST, too" is going to sell. Even though she's not nearly as popular as before, there are so many hits in this album...

I rather have lives than PVs, watching those far more often. Definitely gonna pick it up.

Especially cause Ai got so far more interesting to me musically.
I've only liked some songs from her in the past, but her albums now are really good.
Love Honey turned into my favourite by far, it's awesome!

Saying that I didn't feel the last two new songs too much.
Let's see what she's going to deliver next year.

Really sad to hear...but this makes me think back of what happened last year - SU's (Ai-chan's now ex-husband) cheating scandal:

Don't know why it took THIS LONG from the cheating scandal to the divorce announcement.

I have to wonder - could this divorce be related to last year's scandal?

Ai has been silent about it, but this c*nt kept harassing her. She even went to ai's home and kept ringing the bell and threaten to suicide if Ai didn't get divorced.

Not surprising after the reveal how Su cheated on her.
I actually thought she'd already done it.

I also thought they had already divorced. I guess they tried to work through it all this time.

I wonder why they included the live performances instead of the music videos too. And even stared at the webpage wondering if I was reading it correctly

You're right, it is - I am surprised it is not an FC exclusive!

----

Ai am BEST, too special site has opened
https://avex.jp/ai/aiambesttoo/

As a countdown starting today, there will be one song added to a playlist daily on streaming services Spotify, AWA, and LINE music. They will also upload a CM and gif with each song.

Today is Watashi.
And if you are looking at the gif thinking, "wtf" like I was, it's a tongue twister that says "Watashi no Tawashi" which means "my scrubbing brush"

CM


gif
