The fact that they are on the chart is actually good.

WHAT?! How are they not songs?! I am loving the HELL out of "Love no Theme" and "White Choco!" I'm loving her LOVE songs a lot! I like them more than some of the stuff she's released as Ai, actually. I've been listening to those two songs repeatedly lately. They're just so... HER!

It's alright! ^^ I'm sure someone else has it.

With the end of 2007 close, my verdict is in:

I think "Kumuriuta" is her best song this year, followed by "HEART". Lyrics, melody, voice...those two songs embodied all the elements that make Ai's music, well, amazing. And they embodied them in incredible fashion.

Next to those two I also liked "Kimi ni Kaeru." and "Pocket" as far as 'serious' songs go, with "Katori Senkou" and "White Choco" as favorites for the upbeat/silly songs.

To be honest I wasn't that impressed with "LOVE PIECE", and though the likes of "Mirai Taxi" and "Mackeral's canned food" are decent and easy on the ears, none of the album-only songs (with the exception of aforementioned songs) really struck a cord with me as unforgettable.

So yeah, though I believe 2007 has been Ai's best year in terms of financial success, I think some of her earlier releases were more consistent in terms of quality. I also like the LOVE 99 COOK and JAM PUNCH tours as well as the 2006 LOVE IS BORN concert much better than the Ai Am Best tour. Ai's still a favorite of mine so I can't wait to see what she has in store in terms of music in 2008. :yes

I prefer Ai's upbeat songs! Frienger <3

ayu_fan929 1st December 2007 03:04 PM

I agree with namiie. Kumuriuta was Ai's best song this year, and I thought it was her best song since 2005. PEACH/HEART was an alright single too. However, I thought POCKET was extremely boring. As for LOVE PiECE, I never really liked her album songs that much, so I guess I wasn't let down or anything.

Kikaru 1st December 2007 06:03 PM

Between 2006 to 2007, the only songs that I've really liked are Frienger, Yumekui, Tears, and Pocket, everything else is just kinda forgettable. While I like the melody of Kumuriuta, something about her vocals in that song just kind of disconnect me from it.

To be honest, I was quite disappointed with LOVE PiECE.

Yeah, I always think that Ai's singles are a lot stronger than her albums...I was only taking 2007 into account in my last post, but 2006 had a handful of good songs too. "Yumekui" and "Renai Shashin" were the highlights of that year, though to be honest I don't like them to the extent that I like "Kumuriuta", "Kingyo Hanabi" and "Planetarium" and "Haneari Tamago" (the last one is another example of a really good album track, actually XD).

WillofDusk 1st December 2007 07:26 PM

Yeap Kumuiri uta is the best song of Ai's this year.
LOVE PiECE is a great album with good single tracks but the new album tracks are just mediocre

Meat Pao 1st December 2007 07:28 PM

I dun like Ai's ballads =\\

Yay! Ai Am 6000th Viewer LOL.

namiie 4th December 2007 06:59 PM

Yay for Ai being in Kouhaku (but naturally, of course :))!! What do you think she'll sing? I will hurt someone if she ends up singing CHU-LIP or PEACH lol. XD Fun songs, but not for Kouhaku, I think....

Hopefully Pocket or Kumuriuta :luv2

Foxxy_Fuyumi 4th December 2007 07:04 PM

Kumuriuta would be FANTaSTIC, but maybe POCKET will be the chosen one.

ayu_fan929 4th December 2007 07:05 PM

I'm hoping for Kumuriuta, but I think she might sing POCKET or maybe PEACH.

ayumixfan 5th December 2007 05:39 AM

I think it'll be POCKET. =) Does anyone have updated info on the sales of that single? or did it drop out after the 2nd week? =(

Mirai Noah 6th December 2007 05:32 PM

I think that it will be Pocket. :yes

extepan 7th December 2007 07:59 AM
