wasn't there some post like...years ago...when i first joined AHS (or maybe it was even ayunite...) that for hitomi's bday, ayu gave her a guitar? and hitomi gave ayu a piano? or something????

^? i never heard about that before
but if all of this rumor is true...then ayu and hitomi is really close

:laugh
Sometimes some people have a lot of imagination!

:laugh

LOVE LIFE2 is going to be released 4 days! woot! i cant wait for it!

is there anyone pre-ordered it?

Less than that, isnt it? Its just now monday in Japan, and the album is out Wendsday

I preordered the album awhile ago. I hope I get the poster so I can have naked hitomi on my wall <3

I didn't pre-order it LOL
but I will buy it...I should order it tonight or tomorrow (I have a bunch of cds to buy xD)

I definitly want to have my copy of LL2 :D

Great news! I thought it couldn't even chart.

I pre-ordered the album, but I don't want naked pregnant hitomi on the wall. X_X

^ and yet you have a naked hitomi set? :laugh

LOL@bozu :laugh

i really need the album, i hope i can get the OS version of it

2 days more to LOVE LIFE2!

I can't wait for OS version either. *__* I hope avex (either hk, taiwan, or both?) release it a few days after the japan release.

I usually go for OS versions as they are cheaper.

Anyways, I always check on HMV HK, and they usually have OS versions listed before YesAsia (from recent cd's, and from what I've seen recently), so I will keep people updated when they add the OS version to their site. :)

what i dont like about taiwan version, they just provide a blue and white obi :( HK version might be better

i thought love life 2 is just a rumor...
its a real thing?! X_X
wish the best for the sales

^LOL XD its a confirmed album with 11 songs in it, and will going to be released on wednesday! i cant wait for the sales! i hope it wont dissapointing!

i hope the album leaks by tomorrow (tuesday) or wednesday. i wanna hear it! :D

www.hitomilovelife.net

LOL yeah agree for the main page

is the llama eating her hair?!! :laugh

really nice new layout ^^

pic from the photobook

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/892/san3.jpg

omg now it's REALLY naked :irked

That pic kinda scares me in some way, I don't know why though.

I wonder how many pages is the photobook.

indeed


I'm not really sure...I don't really like it
dunno why but me too it kinda scares me

cloud uploaded the new album in the downloads section. :)

yup, i already downloaded it. will listen to it soon :P

I am currently downloading it :P
I wonder if WWL will be the pv version

OMG...I'm downloading the album right now...I can't wait to hear it!!!!!!! :3333333

I'll review it on my blog by tomorrow!!!! :33

I LOVE YOU HITOMI U ROCK AGHHHHHHH

yup, the version of WWL is the one from the PV :P

I really really enjoyed the album! Nothing will ever beat thermo plastic and huma-rhythm though. Those two are, in my opinion, her greatest albums and two of the best JPop albums I've ever heard. But still, LOVE LIFE 2 is a great. A step up from LOVE CONCENT which I never really got into =\

so I listened to all the songs but not completly
just to see what the album looks like. I will listen to it tomorrow ^^

anyways, from what I've heard...IT'S REALLLLLLLLYYYYY NICE! omg I just love it!!!!
I'm really glad that hitomi is back!

I kind of find WWL (album ver.) weird XD
I'm so used to the single version and hearing her voice clearly
but I still like it a lot <3

I disagree with stickyrice, I found LOVE CONCENT to be better, mainly because that was more pop than Traveler and huma-rhythm, I found LOVE LIFE 2 to be too pop rock for me to find it INCREDIBLE, but it was still really good! In particular, the album version of W!W!L! is addicting! Love that vocoder on her voice.

One thing's for certain, though: LOVE LIFE 2 is nothing like LOVE LIFE. Which, imo, is both a good thing and a disappointing thing.

Can anyone translate what exactly the katakana in WORLD! WIDE! LOVE! (チキュウニウマレテヨカッタ ver.) says?

it means
chikyuu umarete yokatta = its god to be born in this earth
I found it on the forum of miyalumix (prussian blue posted it) ^^

I LOVE [LOVE LIFE 2] a lot...i hope it can get a great sales...
easy listening, a lot of nice ballad song, her voice is so nice...
this album deserve a lot of attention...welcome back hitomi

omg hitomi is really naked! wtf :roflmao she still look pretty though! seriously, her legs are amazing!

and still DLing the album now! i cant wait for it! omgomgomgomg, i'm soooo thirsty of that!!

EDIT: finally i listened to the whole album, the album isnt sound too bad, but it sound like what i've heard of LOVE LIFE for the very first time, some tracks are really plain like MEMORY, but some tracks are really an enjoyment to listen like Beat and Just you

anyway, here is another pic from the photobook, its totally nude, i wonder if these pics are allowed in ahs?



EDIT2: LOVE LIFE2 debuted #13 in today's sales

source: http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/more/2/

not bad, at least it doesnt flop as the singles

EDIT3: the back of LL2

http://img173.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/u...pshgb42947.jpg

#13 is in the top 20 at least! so i'm satisfied :D

btw, i heard the album last night too, and i enjoyed it also. maybe like 3 or 4 tracks i didn't really love, but i like the whole pop/rock genre of the album. it's just overall nice to listen to :yes

and prussian, those pics :dead2 why does hitomi love being naked so much? :laugh

Oh, no. X_X #13? It's probably not going to stay at that spot either. I was hoping the album would have sold more because of the provocative cover, but apparently this is not the case. X_X

I don't really like those pics. X_X
I wonder why she decided to do that!

She seems like need CPR.

Is it necessary to get nude to represent this album?

I actually like the covers now, but the other shots not so much...

oh and her album is :heart

Well, for the most part, the original LOVE LIFE had a nude hitomi too...(even though she was wearing short short ripped booty shorts), so I think that for this to be a "successor" to the original it had to have the look....only this went a little more...lol full frontal XD

tbh I'm not really sure about the pictures :no


well still #13 is kinda good. Yes I thought it would do a bit better, but considering that WWL didn't even chart and that her past releases' sales weren't good...

LOL she does look like too fierce in those pictures,

i think she want to get nude in order to boost the sell? her selling is terribly awful for her last single and she has beenon hiatus for almost 2 years, she wants to "Wake" all the hitomi fans, i guess

According to Japanese Wikipedia WWL charted and got #119 :laugh

and LL2's 2nd day chart ranking is #18...

^woot...droping alot...this album deserve more

It does deserve more....it really impressed me. :(

Has she been doing any tv shows?

she did tv shows for WWL but I'm not sure for LL2

wait. it did chart? (O___o)
I thought it didn't?

119...that means how many copies ... ?

^ I think it ended up selling around 600 copies. :thud

So if you compare this album to the flop that WWL was this album is actually doing really good. I do wish it was selling more though this album is amazing, I need to get my hands on it this summer :tired

yes, so far she did WWL TV performance in music japan



a video about shooting the photobooks

oh just wondering if anyone posted scans of hitomi in a minidress and boots from Sweet 2009-07?

you can go to the candy girl forum (in my siggy)and go to gallery part, there's some scans of her sweet magazine diary

EDIT: the link for candy girl forum is access to the hitomilove main page XD you have to click on "forum" in the top bar

oh i have it, just thought i'll ask before i delete

^sure ;)

anyway just saw some preview of the photobooks from CG forum, and i cant believe she really shot full nude, err, i mean, we can see hitomi's boobs without anything

*its so hard to say the real thing :laugh *

EDIT: LL2's chart x->13->18->24->37->42->46- hitomi "LOVE LIFE 2

Do any of the people here know that the japanese magazine FRIDAY has nude pictures of hitomi in it? You can see her entire nude body. (except her "downstairs" area)

I haven't looked at the actual cd photobooks yet so i dont know if shes actually naked??

But i saw the FRIDAY magzine at my local convenient store and opened it and there hitomi was...100% boobies visible naked o_O.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny0ac...eature=related

more preview of the photobook!

I can understand that she want sell her cd. But I don't think it's the better way. The first idea was really good. A pregnant woman always is cute and beautiful :yes. But no need to be naked! Some of pics are not pretty. :irked

If she continue to think like that she'll become a porn star >.<

so true! i dont want her to have the road like tomomi kahala(a very famous TK member too) she has a naked photobook with some condoms inside to boost her sells too. cmon, hitomi, i'm sure you can have a better idea for your next single/album

27　--　5,482　**5,482　*1　LOVE LIFE 2 　hitomi

Ouch xD I have a feeling it's going to fall off fast. Oh well!

well it's still better than nothing lol
somebody remembers the sale of LOVE CONCENT?

15-20k? Not sure...wasn't too great I think

i think LOVE CONCENT was rank #13 for the first week and sale about 10k only

oh well, physical album isnt popular nowadays in japan, i guess thats the only excuse we can use :D

LOL this is depressing, hitomi's thread is in the 6th page XD

and more depressing news

LOVE LIFE2 will not have an OS version

from avex taiwan

a lot of ppl asking about the release of taiwan version of LL2, but avex taiwan replied that they are not planning to make a taiwan version of it

damn! i thought i can buy it if they release an OS version of it!

Oo It's weird. It's the first time I read that they don't release OS stuff!

^they started to release OS version of hitomi's album from h (but i've seen by myself OS version before, maybe its HK version?) thats really weird not to release the album

if they dont release the single i still can understand, but why not album? :weep

they should release an OS version
maybe they thought the sales weren't good enough to do so :(

No OS version? -__-

I have an enquiry about the PEACE 3CD Best album, does it have an OS version? I'm just wondering.

Come on now, hitomi has always been quite sexual in her image. It's not the first time she's been nude and I'm sure it won't be the last. (Although I could do without the pregnant part...eh, whatever.) The photos are really quite tasteful as well.

^LOL :laugh she is very tasteful all the time

and rookies: nope there's no OS version for peace too

some shot from glamourous magazine, totally nude, please be careful (for those underage). if this is inappropriate, i apologize and please delete it

^ *close eyes*

whoa hitomi! the pictures would of been better if she wasn't pregnant.

She should get her Venus razor out next time.

I think it's the fact that she's pregnant that make those pics beautiful!

i thought about the same too, but isnt she nude too much?

i'm not even gonna bother looking inside the spoiler button :laugh

Oh my...that last picture...oh my...

Was NOT expecting to see that much of her. XD

Yes, some pics are not really good because it's just to show her nude!

Look at the pic with the cat for exemple. It's not beautiful. The last one is the same. I would prefer that she holds a cushion or something else! She would have point up her prengnace and not her nudity!

Is there any way we can get the pictures without the writing all over them? I for one, think they are very beautiful and classy. However, I am more interested in a new single (please don't retire!) than seeing her woman parts.

the cat pic is okay for me, but not the one that she hold the rabbit doll, even though she isnt nude, but the position of the legs are just wrong XD

the one that she wears the hat is really classy and gorgeous! time to make a new set with that pic :luv2 of course, not the torso part XD

No wonder I couldn't find any info on it, lol.

Nooo... avex sure are not doing good job with her os releases by not giving her os version. :grumpy

My favorite pic of hitomi that she did nude is the one in the Love Life 2 booklet when shes behind acurtain. It shrouds the nudity, is not pornographic, and is very arty and beautiful.
Speaking of Love Life 2, good album! definitely less ambient and heavy than some of her works, but its a lighthearted feel good album, really making you well, love life (great double meaning with the title)! Love Life one also had that feel good love life sound, the only difference is that it was alot heavier and rockier.

I lol'd when I saw the pictures. Japan seriously just publishes this stuff in regular magazines?

^well. you just havent seen a very fashionable male magazine teaches how to have sex in every edition, and its the most popular magazine for male in japan

hitomi seems to be appeared in an event, but i'm not sure what is it

its a movie called "st anna's miracle"

http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/4265297/

she looks gorgeous and pretty! omg, look at her legs!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIZLjVWsGg0

^Looking good hitomi! She finally got the short hair to look right! (I was expecting her hair to be a bit different since one of her recent blog posts was her at a salon) She's probably there at the movie screening since she is Christian.

It seems they asked her about her nude pregnant photos.

^yes, and she didnt answer those question on that, i dont think the questions are answerable for hitomi, poor hitomi

yes! she went into salon, and i think she cut it shorter and dye the hair brown again (just like in GO MY WAY PV where her hand is cut by the thorn and her hair is cut)

OMG she looks so pretty *.*
I love her hair.

her boobs are still big XD

Maybe it's normal.
I can't say when boobs become again at their normal size.

i guess they will stay for several months, the baby still need them :tipsy

yes. But I wonder if she breastfeeds her baby herself

^i hope so, i've heard that if the mother isnt breastfeeding her baby, it will increase the mom's breast cancer rate

wow I never heard that before. Oo
I just know that it's better for the baby. He'll be able to protect him against diseases better than if he's not breastfeed.

hitomi's hair is like the hair from LOVE CONCENT! she looks beautiful with this hairstyle.

she just performed in a-nation today! cant wait for the setlist! :luv2

and here is some pics of the PB of LL2 i found in the net ;) i zipped it and here is the link
