OMG,if Kurage,Nagareboshi is really going to sound like that on the original album,then this album is just embarrassing mess.

(I'm so sorry for saying that!!!)

Gosh,I was really looking forward the album,and because it had awesome singles,I wanted to buy it,but meh,not really.
I'd rather buy any other Ai's album than this (yeah,I'm disappointed )

Probably,LOVE PiECE is my favorite album by her so far (why wasn't Pocket on that album?!?!?)

Those negative comments make me rather anxious about "LOVE LETTER".
But I don't think I will cancel my order.

All her other albums were more or less great, though, so I'm still kind of looking forward to it.

To be honest, if I were you, I WOULD cancel my order. The album is not nearly up to par with any of her past albums. @_@

Well, um... I've still got some time to think about it.
Maybe some demo takes were leaked!? With "Ningyo" missing and "KURAGE, Nagareboshi" being speeded up for whatever reason, that might still be possible.
I see there are some rather positive comments, too. So I'll wait and see.

yeah I agree with you , LOVE COOK's probably her best album to date

Exactly,unfortunately.

But we may still have some hope...Who knows,when album is out maybe everything will be different??

Who knows...

And guys,try speeding up the single ver. of Kurage,Nagareboshi,you get the album ver.
I mean wtf?Why did they do it??Were they drunk while they were making this album?
Seriously,the song loses EVERYTHING good about it!

I am disappointed, after all those great singles the best she could do is this?! LOVE PiECE had great album tracks and I expected something similar at least quality-wise. The only new song I could say I like is Creamy&Spicy.

i don't understand.. so.. in Shachihata that's not ai singing right..


ohh i don't understand why people are so hard on this album, i think it's my favorite ai album by far..
360º, LOVE LETTER, Creamy & Spicy, Bye Bye, and Ai are all great. i usually can only find 2-3 songs i like on ai's albums..but on this it's much more

Well seeing as all these bad comments it's most likely her worst album to date, not to mention how it leaked so soon, it's really going to affect sales.

i think the album isn't really so bad overall. i love "ai", "LOVE LETTER", "bye-bye", and "Do Positive" the best. "Shachihata" is just and "360º" is just okay. but anyway, i think i still like LOVE PiECE better, but LOVE LETTER is just a nice album.

I just finished downloading the album but I didn't listen to it yet. With all the negative comments above now I want to delete. But she has just strong singles this year.

I haven't listened to the whole album yet... I've just been skimming the tracks.

I'm very, very confident that Kurage, Nagare Boshi is sped up, and whoever leaked the album did that. It must be a mistake by that person. I cannot understand why the record company would do that.

Best new song: 360º
I LOVE THIS SONG.

Worst new song: Shachihata
Wtf is going on in this song? Is that even Ai? Seriously? It's like some awful extended interlude.

ok Round 5 & 6 of listening to the new songs on LOVE LETTER took place today

the songs actually sound OK right now , initally it was very bad I couldn't stomach all the songs but now it's different

some of them like 360° , Creamy & Spicy , Do☆Positive sounds OK to me now

I still find Shachihata to be a joke though

I just hope that we'll find out shachihata is by someone else and not actually Ai's song.
