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! :laugh

Countdown 20 - Kumuri Uta

haraiso 20th December 2018 03:57 PM

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! :)

https://photos.app.goo.gl/8aupN22JR1QgDfn88

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

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

Corvina 21st December 2018 12:21 PM

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. :)

KuuXAyu-fan 13th January 2019 08:16 AM

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.

Xianghua 16th January 2019 02:28 AM

Ai am BEST, too sold 7,972 coies physically after 3 weeks. If she's lucky, it might get to 10k.
Nothing groundbreaking, but definitely better than her usual sales.

New song coming March 22nd, "kit palette."
It was written for the new kit kat product, Mainichi no Nuts & Cranberry.

Here is a short movie featuring the song:


The cover reminds me of the LOVE HONEY cover.

Just watched the live performance of kit palette and to me it sounds like one of those feel good songs that you van easily listen to while you're doing whatever you're doing. Going to listen to the studio version later
Both , Ai and Mai did a nice job singing Planetarium, can't say more about the performance

Today's setlist follows pattern A, which I am still trying to track down.

matt9210 16th April 2019 11:20 AM

I'm most likely going to get a ticket for the Kobe show! I'm very curious as to how different the setlists will be. I was hoping the tour would mostly be her performing her singles, but having two setlists makes me doubt that.

When I was looking at tickets for Kobe, I was really surprised to see it's a venue with a capacity for just 350. It surprised me actually. I wonder how much of this is because of ticket demand and how much is because she wants to? I know the Zepp venues are around 3000, and the Zepp dates sold out.

Xianghua 16th April 2019 05:50 PM

Yeah I think we can't say for sure how much of Ai's decision is to tour small venues. But her sales have been declining so much and it's sad to see what a big difference between pre and post hiatus.

Ai will be on NHK's Utacon April 23rd. It's the 2nd night of their Heisei Hit Ballad show. (sooo...Planetarium? :P)

AWA has just unveiled listening plans for many artists, there was a TA mail sent last night about Ayu's plan, and it seems they have one for Ai as well. For 270 yen a month you can listen to unlimited Ai songs and also participate in ticket presale through AWA https://info.awa.fm/artist_plan/bd71bf6c8ca496823e31/

jiarongisme 17th April 2019 02:46 AM

I listened to Ai am BEST, too recently and I have to say I really enjoyed it! I really appreciate that it was a very well curated album that mixes singles and album tracks together really nicely. Nice to see the 99 track lead up to the new BABASHI no Theme again. :laugh

thinkingoutloud89 17th April 2019 09:24 AM

there is a new BABASHI. How did I not know that?!

^ I feel like really any performance of Kingyo Hanabi and Planetarium needs to be rounded out with CHERISH. CHERISH has always felt like it could transition easily between those two songs and the next set of songs in a performance.

Definitely. It would fit better than it currently does after Kuroge Wagyu in set list A

Ah, so awesome that we get a new Ai single! And I'm really excited that she's doing the theme for the new season as well :heart

Darkifrit 6th July 2019 10:48 PM

I went to her showcase in Paris this afternoon :)
She focused on her more recents songs from her last 2 studio albums. I expected to hear her classics but she only performed an electro version of Sakuranbo.

The show was quite dynamic. I left Ai with LOVE FANTASTIC (that i didn't like) and as i loved the songs performed, i gave a listen to LOVE TRICKY & LOVE HONEY. I love few songs :)

She seems to love her current style, she especially mentionned QueeN as her favorite song from her discography. She performed it this afternoon.
If anyone is interested, she performed (not in order) : Sakuranbo / タイムマシーン / affair / 私 / QueeN / TOKYO散歩 and few others.
She was really pretty.

that makes me so happy :heart

what was the rest of the audience like? was it a decently-sized crowd?

summerain 7th July 2019 02:20 PM

"Chime" is already out and I liked it. It's very anisong-ish, but with Otsuka's own flavor.

Earth_maiden 7th July 2019 05:18 PM

I want to know the DVD contents, 6800 yen is an expensive single...

I think so. The room was one of the biggest. I was in the first rows so I couldn’t see how full was the room but the audience near me was quite participative :)

She also performed in another show Planetarium / Kingyo Hanabi ans Chime. I have seen a video on YouTube.
The interview was for once interesting. She mentioned she wrote Planetarium before her debut, she doesn’t like Cherry (in a question asking how she feels about Saruranbo) and she even learned few French words for the occasion.

Watched the Love Tricky Tour and wow, she is looking smoking!

Started the Love Honey tour and popped on a bit of Love Honey whilst I was playing the PS4 today. Not listened to that album in ages but I'm definitely on a bit of an Ai kick right now!

LOVE HONEY feels like ages ago and I really love it so I'm so looking forward to the new album, her latest releases were really good!

thinkingoutloud89 2nd September 2021 09:24 PM

Is someone in her fanclub? would love that FC edition

mi|kshake 2nd September 2021 11:56 PM

Excellent! I loved Love Tricky and Love Honey so can't wait to hear the new album!

Same here. I looked through her website and it is really inexpensive to join (300 yen plus taxes), so I think it is worth. Besides, I think it’ll be limited to 1 per person since it will have your name written.

Diva_br 3rd September 2021 06:43 AM

AHHH, I'M READY!

Her latest releases are so good!

Xianghua 13th September 2021 05:51 PM

GO Music Video


Avex has published an interview with Ai, some highlights:

-She says that Aibiki and Nandake are songs resulting in her wanting to "update" herself while also giving people the feeling of "Oh, it's Ai" while they listen to it.

-About being able to continue her music for 18 years: She says music is self-reflection, and she never feels satisfied. She always thinks she could have done more, or sometimes she is not good enough. She says she has continued so far because she has never been satisfied with her work.

-She struggled the first 6 years after her debut, feeling like if she didn't sell, it was all pointless, and she went through thoughts of how she could escape (her situation). But she says she had her daughter at the right time, because then she could rest, and felt like she could finally breathe.

-During her maternity leave, she didn't feel so pessimistic about her music as she used to because she had hope that she could create music that she loved. But as time passed, she had feelings that maybe she didn't fit in with the current times. She mentions that in the past she made decisions based on how music sounded through speakers, but now she makes decisions on how it sounds coming through smartphones. And she mentions that it's hard to keep going.

-GO is a song about anger. This song came to her while she was riding her bike and she says it coincided with the mood she was in. Around that time, she had lots going on in her personal life, and she had gotten sick, had trouble cooking and sleeping. She says GO was fueled by something that was annoying her, and later in the interview mentions she came up with GO because she had to suppress her emotions.

-The important part of the song is that rather than thinking positive, it's ok to think "0 is fine!" and negative things are fine

-She wrote GO before the corona virus, but she says that the song overlaps with the current situation of the world. She also mentions that she caught corona virus Her fears about the virus made her feel stronger about GO, but she did not release it last year because she didn't want people to think she was releasing it because of the situation, so she waited to release it for her 18th anniversary.

-When she looks back on her music, she realized that anger and sadness are driving forces, but they are the driving forces to move forward, so the songs become positive. Anger is a positive emotion for her. This is also shown in GO

-The title GO only appears at the ending of the song and doesn't have much to do with the rest of the lyrics. But there are times in life where you want to stop, but you have to keep going. So she thinks the song applies to everyone.


* I skipped the part in the middle about TikTok because this took a long time and also I didn't care, lol.

*ALSO* I am not a translator, so this was just the gist of the interview and it's possible I misunderstood, also I had a lot of help with looking up a bunch of stuff.
