Just listened to LOVE HONEY and all I can say is that I really like this album. There is only one or two songs which I don't like as much as the other ( Hibi, Ikite Ireba & Starting Pistol). the first time I listened to Watashi I also didn't liked is that much but in combination with Honey and QueeN makes it much better for me.

LOVE HONEY debuted at #9 yesterday and fell to #21 today.

I really liked the new album, it's very moody and chill, but with some dark dance/fun tracks like QueeN and make up <3 Ai is so amazing, love current direction in music.

Wow, this album is phenomenal! My favorite track so far is TOKYO Sanpo. I just love how she blended electronic, Japanese and jazz influences throughout the album. It sounds very cohesive without being too "samey." I feel like she really perfected her style with this album too, but then again, I was never a fan of her more peppy pop rock tracks haha

The opening track is such a fucking stellar track. Wow. It's been a while since I've instantly loved a song on first listen!!

Album is ok, but I prefer LOVE FANTASTIC.

I'm curious if anyone's favorite Ai song has changed throughout the years? What is your one favorite? I mean, everyone must have a lot they thoroughly enjoy, but what is the one you feel most excited to listen to?

For me, it's Katamoi Dial. I always feel so happy when I listen to it.

^ I think mine is Mousou Chop, lol.

kingyo hanabi or mirai taxi. equally excited whenthey come up

I decided to listen to LOVE HONEY a couple times before giving my impressions. I think it's a beautifully done album, it's very cohesive as expected, and I feel like it mixes a little bit of LOVE FANTASTIC and LOVE TRICKY. :yes I'm in love with the title track, QueeN, make up, and HEART BREAK :heart (it's too bad many people didn't like this one). I'm excited to see what she's planning for the tour! :)

I really need this album to sell well

this album is sooo good!! Ai really did a excellent job to come up with an album with a good balance of Love Fantastic and Love Tricky style.

LOVE HONEY first week sales:
#23 - 2,552

2552!? Wow... that's abysmal :(

I didn't like either Love Fantastic, not Love Tricky, but Love honey is really good. Wish it was selling well :(

Did the relationship scandal affect the sales? Hmm...

I think the album could've sold a little better if they had actually promoted it with a new PV or something.

The PV for Watashi already aired months ago for the single, so I don't think they aired it again for the album. And the PV for Sakura wasn't aired at all so idk how they expected people in the general public to know about the album lol.

But she seems to always rank in the 20s with the same 3k-ish sales so while I'm not sure if she's attracting any new fans, her current fanbase is probably loyal and follows her releases. :yes

Looking forward to getting this album on Friday, finally! Can't wait to hear it!

While I have a lot of favorite Ai songs, if I had to choose just one, I'd have to go with Shabondama. I loooove it and its PV.

I finally got my copy of Love Honey last week!

I'm really enjoying the album and still getting to know it. I'm glad she stuck with the Love Tricky sound. So far my favourite songs are QueeN, Tokyo Sanpo and Monochrome or was it Make Up?

I understand why people weren't keen on FrogFlag. It does break up the flow of the album at first but it's growing on me. I also find Hey!Bear to be really cute. I like a lot of the ballads too but struggling to remember them right now!

Before Love Honey and Love Tricky, the last album I bought from Ai was Love Cook which was my favourite at the time. Which of her albums that I've missed should I buy next?
