oh no it has stopped charting :(

Oh that's so sad to see. It wants to break 200k but there isn't enough uumph to make it happen.

yeah it's so unfortunate , I thought it can at most cross 180K but appearently not

:(

I think so lol! She's being compard to a JE member atm *dies* and the sad part is there's a resemblence =_= Ai! NO! I think she should turn back :( ~! I'm tired of this haircut lol. It makes her look older :( and she dresses so granny like on top of that now :S ~! Its such a big change compared to before... it was nice for awhile but I'm tired of it lmao Anyways I cant wait to hear a preview of her single :) ~!

lol sorry for comparing otsuka with Kame in the last page but I couldn't resist it :lmfao

at least Kame doesn't look like that now so WOO HOO :smitten

hopefully otsuka's new single will be something good

I miss her hair back in the Planetarium PV! It's really gorgeous. She looks very mature now, but there's nothing wrong in looking wild and young once in a while. :P

Ah there's nothing wrong with the comparison. I just think its bad for ai when she looks like a JE member LMAO. Especially since her fanbase = male fanbase ><

^ I think she should stick to a look taht suits her age more lmao. She looks like she's trying to be a 40 year old now :S honestly! lol! She might as well dye her hair grey and buy a few cats lmao. I think she looks nice but, her pre-love letter phase definitely suited her age more XD!

LMAO at least Kame doesn't look horrendous now but yeah he looked like :dead2 last July - Nov , I totally boycotted him like CRAZY but it's different now :innocent

I know & I realised otsuka's like ayaka in that sometimes their dress sense make them looked even older than their real age ugh

ah!!! was the chinese version of planetarium released on anything?

ehhh there's a chinese version of it ? O_O

yeah she sang it at her concert in 2008 in taiwan

The sales of the album are so bad...
NOOO NOOOO NOOOOO!!!! >____< Is one of ther BEST ALBUMS EVER!!!! Japanese people has a problem with the good music ¬¬
---
Oh I heard about the chinese planetarium ver. =D
I want to hear it to ^____^

yeah the sales of LOVE LETTER's really bad , I guess not everyone's feeling her recent material at all & sorry to say that I personally feel the same way too

I have listened from LOVE PUNCH onwards & outta the 5 albums that she has put out , I think LOVE LETTER's her weakest . There's just something about it that I didn't like in any single bit on 1st listen .

I'm OK with it now but I wouldn't call it my fave album coming from otsuka

^I like "LOVE LETTER", but compared to her other albums it's kinda stale(?).

"LOVE LETTER" and "Ningyou" are both piano ballads. The later has some strings, but it's mostly piano-driven.
With "BYE BYE", "Creamy & Spicy", "DO☆POSITIVE" it took me some time to remember how each of them sounds, because they're quite similar in arrangement and overall feel.
"Kimi FETCH" and "OnexTime" are also quite similar. And both have a similar feel to "HEART".
The songs that stand out, more or less, are "ROCKET SNEAKER", as it's up-beat yet piano-driven, "KURAGE, Nagareboshi", but it's a fusion of "Kingyo Hanabi" and "PLANETARIUM", "360°", "SHACHIHATA", "POCKET", though it's not that original in itself, and "Ai".

It's kinda weird that the "LOVE LETTER" single B-sides had more variety than the album tracks, with songs like "TICKET", "Sora to Kujira", "H2O" and "Ame no Tsubu, WALTZ ~LOVE MUSiC~".

frienger is sang in chinese too. i have no clue what she sang :shakehead

^ LOL Seb :laugh & frankly I don't wish to hear both songs sung in chinese at all -_-'''

don't want to kill my ears on that

she said sthg like this in the concert:- dajiahowoshidazhongai.... (no pause, no comma) wodezhongwenbuhaoqingdajiabuyaoxiao (with a flat sound)

T_T

all the more she shouldn't have sung it in Chinese it's not easy for Japanese people to do that at all

^ I wanna hear it just to hear how bad it is.
