There is a special twitter campaign happening with nine winners of an "extravagant gift" but its only open to Japan residents. The prize seems to be either high quality cherries, gyutan (cow tongue), or 10,000¥ travel ticket. The campaign ends on January 7th.

To enter:
1. Follow the account @aiambesttoo
2. Go to this site https://avex.jp/ai/aiambesttoo/?campaign and click on a gif of the track that has a memory for you
3. Post your memory in the text box and tweet it!

Winners will be contacted by direct message.

Also if you take a look at that site, you'll see the upcoming tracks of the countdown in order. That ruins the surprise!

Countdown 20 - Kumuri Uta

So I recently joined her fanclub and I received my first issue of her fanclub magazine. I don't think I've ever seen photos from/of her fanclub magazines before, so I didn't know what to expect... but it actually is really nice quality and well put together! I think it's a really nice bonus that she sends this out to her fanclub.

I quickly went through and took photos of the pages, so if anybody is interested, you can view it here!

Lots of really nice photos of her and a nice summary of what she's been doing these past few months!

Love it! Thanks for sharing

[Diva_br]

thank you for sharing! it's really cute

Countdown 21 - More More



Had to dig through a little bit deeper because Avex uploaded a bunch of music videos in full...

[Corvina]

I love how avex is pushing her now despite the low sales!
Love all those promos and campaigns.
Condidering avex states on their company website, that their strategy for their artists in general is FC memerships and concert ticket sales, I take it as a good sign for her. Her FC fanbase is probably healthy.

Ai is actually doing quite decently on Oricon with this release! The album is #29 in its 2nd week on the overall Oricon charts with 7,222 points (pure sales, digital sales, and streaming equivalent units) total so far! Already outsold Love Tricky, Love honey, and Love Fantastic in two weeks.
