yes LOVE COOK came with 2 photobooks in which 1 of them's an illustration of her pet bunny LOVE-chan whereas the other one's a photoshoot photobook

I unfortunately have never seen scans pertaining to both

I don't know... the cover doesn't stands much for me, but I love "Bye Bye", "360" (pure love) and "Kurage, Nagareboshi". Is the rest that good? I'm really excited about seeing a more mature Ai and all, but I also love her silly songs... if it is as good as LOVE COOK I can be happy ever after Did you think I made a good choice buying it?

oh and happy bday

It took me a few days, but LOVE LETTER is one of my favorite albums now. It's definitely not as good as LOVE COOK, but it's definitely good. As long as you didn't pay like $40 for it, you'll be very happy.

And my favorite album is actually LOVE PiECE. LOVE COOK is very good and I own it, but for some reason I've never been as into it as LOVE PiECE. It's got songs like Yumekui, Mirai Taxi, CHU-LIP, and Peach on it. So I would definitely recommend that album if you haven't already tried it. It's a shame it didn't sell that well.

Oooo!!! I third that!! I never knew it came with photobooks!! I wonder if anyone on Channel Ai has them. I'll have to do a search (though I can't find my way around that forum for nuthin'! ).

^ I have the PICTURE Book? But I don't have a scanner and I'm too lazy to do anything with it.

I have the feeling I will love it, I mean 360 is pure sex and and it's got amazing PVs... and I'm really excited about seeing a more mature Ai, I mean, I love when artists do that (just like Hikki did in Exodus and that was pure awesomeness), so I'm waiting for it!! And it was really cheap, just 20 euros (like 25 dollars I think?) shipping included, CD+DVD and brand new, so it was quite a deal, considering how it's like 30 bucks in Yesasia

Is there any good professional reviews of it?

LOVE LETTER is my 2nd favorite ai album. i'm one of those people who really can't stand most of her upbeat crazy cute songs, and LOVE LETTER didn't have many on there. LOVE COOK is still my favorite because of Neko ni fuusen, Cherish, 5:09a.m., and Planetarium. those are her best songs imo.

[ayuayu798]

Love Piece and Love cook are my favorite albums. I love AI's ballads.

WHOA some risque photos ... I love how it's all black and white... thank you!

[ville]

a really beautiful and fierce photos

love them <3

[U-GO-BOY]

woah the calendar looks sooo pretty *-*

[sugarbasil]

WOAH! Sexy Ai!!! That's a little different!! I think they're GORGEOUS and just unbelievably beautiful, but I actually think I might not buy the calendar now. As gorgeous as I think these all are, I really wanted peppy upbeat pictures for my calendar. If the pictures are happy, then I get happy; so I always like really happy calendars. :/ This one might just make me sad when I look at it.

[love in music]

they're nice. i really don't like 5-6 and 7-8 though. and i think it'd be better with color

[JackieRos]

i love the calender pics
so gorgeous
thanks lisa for posting them

[NintendoHTF1242]

Ai should never try to be sexy EVER again. I don't want to see her in a bra, I want to see her smiling and jumping around to some Happy Days or something. The picture of her sitting on the street while people pass by is so sad to look at xD

[pommy48]

wait @_@ she's 27! i thought she was like 24 or something, but the calendar cover looks pretty <3 does anyone have pictures of her past calendar scans?

[AyuGAME]

ai change her image a lot
from a really cute girl to very dark and high fashion lady...
i love the calendar pics a lot

[love in music]

so i won a bid on ebay with LOVE COOK + the photo book so i'll get to see what the pics look like i got a pretty good deal on it too!

[KarenPang]

These pics of her are woah o_O



this's just @_@



, I never thought she can do something like that for a calendar :O
