[Ai Otsuka] 〓◎She is writing a Love Letter in her 14th thread◎〓

[Mirai Noah]

WHAT?!

No Planetarium, no Kurage Nagare Boshi, and no Kingyo Hanabi!? Those are my top three Ai songs of all time, and they are not on the tracklist.

And Ai, please don't retire!

[Aga-chan]

Just what I was thinking. xD Because it wasn't stated to be a best with ballads, but a lovesong best. "Sakuranbo" is also a lovesong, so I thought they might include also upbeat tracks. Actually seeing it on the tracklist is a little funny. I thought they might also include LOVE songs, because that would fit the title. ^^;

I like that they included B-sides and also new recordings. I'd say they will be rearranged, because new vocals aren't really needed. They carry of quite much from "LOVE LETTER". First the "BYE BYE" re-cut, now "OnexTime" PV. Perhaps in the hope this will make "LOVE LETTER" sell more. I wonder how attractive this release will be for the casual listener. Specially without the inclusion of some of her hits, like "Kingyo Hanabi" and "PLANETARIUM".

It's weird to release a best of now when there's probably hardly any news on Ai anywhere. "BYE BYE" was released in February, right? It might have been better to release a single before-hand, whether it would make it on the best or not. But maybe perfomances of the new song are planned. Otherwise this new album might not do too well. By the way, how much did "Ai am BEST" sell?

[KarenPang]

Ai am BEST sold about 727,192+ in total

I honestly think LOVE is BEST might bomb badly . I frankly might be surprised if it might sell less than LOVE LETTER

[Tom Punks]

I might buy LOVE is BEST. I'm interested in the new recordings and the b-sides mainly. I don't really care that planetarium and kurage, nagareboshi aren't on it since I don't like those songs anyways.

I think she should have done a b-side compilation instead though... I would have bought that instantly.

[hearted]

i think im going to buy it, since i love all the songs and i dont have any of them on cd, except for HEART

[Diego-kun]

This album is gonna flop and there's no need to wonder why... It's just another boring compilation including her biggest hit (Sakuranbo) and lots of random songs that nobody, apart from the most faithful, fans know. I think Ai should hurry up and release a good single if she doesn't wanna be forgotten soon!!

[Gubsi]

What the hell!?

+new Song
+new PV
+PV for One×Time
+new recordings for Futatsu Boshi Kinenbi/Amaenbo/One×Time/pocket

-where's PLANETARIUM!?
-where's Kingyo Hanabi!?
-where's Kurage, Nagareboshii!?
-she has new recordings, and the Haru Version of Renai Shashin, so why no "Ai ~Acapella Version~"!?
-this best is so pointless!!

I'm guessing the reason kingyo hanabi/planetarium/kurage, nagareboshi are missing is because this seems to be more of a happy love song compilation than just love ballads...

if all of them more a happy song then why Sakuranbo is included..hahhahah

I'm not sure but it better be a good one

[Beauty4123]

haha, it better

hopefully by 2010 (or even before 2009 ends) we FINALLY get a new single. and ai will still be on avex, lol.

[stickyrice]

wait...a new best of album filled with love songs? I'm actually slightly excited.... but I think that's because I'm in a very romantic mood lately so anything dealing with love, romance etc will make me happy lol I'd prefer a new single though of course but at least we're getting a new song =)

aw bless on what you said Michael

I'm not really like HIGH HIGH excited about LOVE is BEST , the only parts that I'm looking out for are the new recordings for 4 songs on there & also the new song

& last but not least the fact that One x Time is getting a PV like FINALLY

[ストロボ・EdGE]

One x Time and Pocket are fairly new songs, so why is she re-recording them? Seems a bit pointless. I'm sorry to join the chorus, but really, no Planetarium? That song was huge, and it was a LOVE song!
