As long as it didn't replace a new track then perhaps...although it didn't garner much sales so I don't think it would've helped. It kinda makes me sad though. Pocket was really pretty and I felt it was a step in the right direction for her to win back interest...and then came Rocket Sneaker / One Time...

bcos 1/2 of LOVE PiECE was already released prior to the announcement of the album no wonder people will feel short change over this

Yeah I agree that there wasn't enough newness on it
6/11 tracks were already heard and honestly I absolute hate the way they market her CD + DVD versions by not including the single PVs on them...maybe that has something to do with it cause I know it pisses me off  Also, I just think it was her weakest album to date...

it contains from her debut single all the way to Planetarium + LOVE MUSIC & Cherish too it wouldn't hurt to pump the DVD content of LOVE PiECE with all the PVs that were released prior to the announcement of the album + also making of/behind the scenes footage too , Avex

That's true...but I didn't buy Ai Am Best XD
I wonder why avex does that with her...Kuu and Ayu have very nice album DVD stuff so that's why I love watching but Ai...that's not cool.

you can definitely tell the way that Avex promote/market Ai is so different from the 2 ladies it's a shame that Ai is not getting the type of promotion/backup support that she should be getting

I was gonna buy it cause it was actually responsible for getting me into Ai in the first place. I sampled Momo no Hanabira and Kingyo Hanabi on iTunes and from that moment on...
 I don't actually know why I didn't buy it XD I really wish Ai had that type of promotion because she deserves it. Hopefully those creative juices will flow again and she'll deliver a BOMB single next time It'll garner good sales and then help push the album...we can only hope

^I agree =S wasn't Ai popular before kuu? I'm not saying kuu doesn't deserve her promotion but I mean shouldn't they give Ai lots of promo too? =S I think its because Ai has a diffferent manager than Max Matsuura so he doesn't pay as much attention to her ._. ~! while ayu and kuu were picked up by Max.
I KNOW she just needs 1 HIT single and her album will sell XP ~! I just hope she can pull it off >< ~! GO AI GO O<(^_^)>O

^ yep yep, I think if Ai has one hit single then it'll defintely her album. Her sales have been kinda slipping so if she has that hit single, it'll stand out to the crowd even more!!!
I'm rooting for ya Ai!!!

Jumping in, it's absolutely ridiculous that they don't include all the PVs in the CD+DVDs. :/ I mean, I understand it's a marketing gimmick to get the people to buy the singles more, but that means they'll also buy the albums less because of it. Unless they think people will still buy album anyways... :/
And going back just a little bit, I actually think Ai looks cute with a chubby face.

^ yep yep, it just pisses me off XD
I mean sometimes people just want to wait to get albums instead of buying the singles. But if they want the PVs then guess what? You gotta buy the singles...I agree it kinda makes the album's worth less...particularly when there isn't very much newness on the album to lure the buyers...

I think soo...
Other avex artists don't do it...BoA, Namie, Ayu, EXILE, Kumi... Butttt, Suzuki's last album, DOLCE, was like Ai's usual thing as they only included the PV for "Bitter" so maybe she's no the only 1...

the PV for her debut single looks expensive & has substance unlike Rocket Sneaker which looked quite cheap
