yup, she looks like she's a granny @_@

I hope that's a wig on Aoyama O_O

:no at her choice of lipstick shade colour too X_X

am i the only one who likes (not love) the new look? :P i don't think thelma looks so bad. it makes her look a bit older, though.

She looks fierce, except for that lipstick, could have done without lol but I like her with short hair as well! Looks like a wig though.

Cute and different!

M-03. はなさないでよ feat. 青山テルマ [ PREVIEW ]

it's the full song, guys! it's SO beautiful. :heart

It is beautiful! :heart

omg, song is amazing!!

PV preview:

she's drop dead gorgeous! song is serious LOVE. I cant wait for this single.

I adore this song <3

Omg the song sounds great! If Aoyama's going to do an answer song I'm quite excited at how it'll sound like.

I'm in love with the song, it sounds amazing :heart

can someone help me find Emotions DVD material? It could be avi iso , youtube , whatevwer

Aghh I really hope this does well! It'd be a great comeback for the both of them, even though I don't care for SoulJa :laugh It sounds really nice, though not as nice as Koko ni iru yo/Soba ni iru ne.

Kaero basho didn't do so well in sales, and it's quickly become one of my favorite ballads! More than "soba ni iru ne"...

PV:

^ Thanks lisa! It's wonderful <3

pv is really simple, but song is EPIC. really... THIS IS OMG EPIC :)

i'm in love with this song.but too bad.this single only has CD only version.I want to have CD+DVD version.Why they don't want to release CD+DVD too?

oh that's very cute :D

& omg YAY OH BABY 恋してたい is included as the B-side , I'm so happy ;__;

I thought it might stay as a digital single but it's great to see it being listed on Summer Love !!'s tracklist

sorry to bother, but what exactly is this one:

do you maybe remeber the original release date for OH BABY? Cause I am serching for it XD

I put it in the very 1st post of the thread aka 18th Nov last year

the cover is great!!!!
I love her song Wasurenai Yo

yay, i've always loved OH BABY koishite! but the title for this single is called Summer Love!!, right?

anyway, the cover is pretty cute, too! i love thelma's shorts and sneakers :D

omg. such a great cover!!! <3

Summer Love????GREAT title!!!

Great cover! So summer-ish :D.

^ It's alright. :)

I don't know who is Demarco but the song is nice, I really like it <3

& ok they do reggae :O

very pretty and fresh! :heart

Wow that Demarco guy is actually pretty cool. It's nice to know she collab'd with an American artist :3

I have something to ask about songs she is a feat. in
are Souja ones and that DeMarco Pvs only songs that have pvs?

for me the promo pics looks so cheap

I love the promo pics! So summery and fresh looking :heart.

She looks great in the promo pics!

Hopefully the covers wouldn't be boring if not chocolate like like LOVE ! case *PRAYS DAMN HARD

nooo, i dont want another compilation album :(

lol yeah me neither D: but it will be interesting how the tracklist's going to be like

Releasing loads of compilation albums is generally a sign that the company is losing faith in the artist's selling power and they're planning on milking him/her for all they're worth >_<.

Aoyama Thelma's sales are dropping so quickly ... which is a shame, because she has an awesome voice that not a lot of J-Pop singers can match.

sadly I have to agree with what you wrote T-T

she's really under-rated but yet her sales speak otherwise .__.

then again it's OK since nowadays it's so difficult for female solo artistes to make it in the JPop industry

the singles that BENI release in her career also didn't do that well . You look at Sign & bye bye :dead2

Wow, another. Well...I just hope she doesn't fail too hard :(.

Summer Love PV :)

the PV is quite LQ & not to mention for some strange reason(s) , I can't watch it :O

anyway Aurelie , can you do a PV rip of Summer Love !! ? :)

^ Sure :)
http://www.mediafire.com/?j5ynmczzgt0

thanks Aurelie

perfect , just in time for me to put the song into my mp3player before I will be away from AHS for a short amount of time xD

hopefully a much better & higher quality of Summer Love !!'s PV will be up in no time :)

the song is really nice! the PV is fun too. it all fits for summer :)

I like it too ^-^ Those rapper guys always ruin it for me though XD Except for like, m-flo <3

Summer Love !! is nice but yeah the rapping grats on me a bit :irked

but it's something different for a summer song I say

Oh my god the rapper is SOOOO ANNOYING! I wish I was there to push him into the pool in the PV. I think the song would have been pretty amazing if he wasn't in the song at all.

^ ya lor Travis

After hearing Summer Love !! , suddenly somehow or another , I prefer the other rappers that did work with Aoyama like KEN THE 390 & SoulJa

Even Soulja's better than RICE :irked.

The Summer Love !! PV is fun but I don't like Aoyama's hairdo & also her choice of outfit too

it makes her look like the oddball in the PV especially since she's probably like the only girl in the video that's clothed from head to toe xD

I want to throw RED RICE to the pool too :innocent

I love Summer Love but yeah the rapper killed it for me

it was also on the 1st LOVE compilation haha & SUMMER PARADISE ~Risin' To Tha Sun~ is the only album track getting a PV , cool :)

Summer Love !!'s single can be downloaded here

it's 320kpbs & it's not in the top 30 today on the 1st day shiku shiku ;__;

Another compilation? Hmm...

I guess Summer Love !! tanked badly isn't it ?

I never even see it debut in the top 30 in the 1st day to begin with X_X

Well, it was to be expected >_<. I think Wasurenaiyo is her last single to chart within the top 30, wasn't it?

SoulJa latest single only reached #62.

It breaks my heart T_T

Unfortunately the single isn't in the Top 50 and #50 sold 1.3k lol.

OMG That's scary! It didn't even sold 1.3k...

Thelma was really a one hit wonder lol. It's time to give up. Japan just doesn't care anymore it seems. Move on gurl, either make something and have a REALLY REALLY good tie-up or just go into acting or something I dunno.

it's really unfortunate because it's not as though she doesn't release good material to begin with

most of the time , I don't really see a lot of good strong tie in's for her songs if not barely & that goes for lack of promotion for her material too

she's schooling currently isn't it ? that probably has to do with her not being able to be aggressive enough in pushing her material as much as she should

At some point though, even making good music won't help. The public mostly just cares about whatever comes to them first. A good tie-in is what she needs, but I'm sure her record company is too scared to try and market her for that.

Glad to know she's still studying. Means she doesn't have to depend on this for a living because it surely doesn't look like she can XD

Oh thelma...:(.

man I can't believe LOVE2! ~THELMA BEST COLLOABORATIONS~ will be out next Wed o_O but her website has not been updated with this piece of info ~_~

SUMMER PARADISE ~Risin' To Tha Sun~ (DS455 Feat Aoyama Thelma) is the only track getting a PV for that matter

I hope it will be up soon , somewhere out there

I'm guessing the PV will be shot in some backalley with a UV-lamp since they can't afford to actually film the PV under the real sun with the budget's Thelma's been given >.>

^ Pretty sure she can't even afford a backalley either.

That's not too bad. It'll do ok, I'm sure.

poor thing , LOVE ! 2 I think is going to flop quite bad since it debuted at #26 today X_X

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/more/3/

As much as I want her to be succesful, I honestly think she should just call it quits as soon as her contract is over >.>. They don't seem to care for her anymore and she's still young so a career change is still possible XD

Nah, just half kidding. I just hope this means they'll start to treat her like an underground artist and give her more freedom, instead of acting like she's still popular.

Might as well switch to avex or UNIVERSAL. She's on SONY right?

LOL dude , she's under Universal xD , same as BENI

she probably should switch to ZAIN RECORDS , their way of marketing artistes is on par if more superior than avex lmao & I'm speaking from personal experiences ~_~

i wonder how thelma would do if she switched to avex..:shrug

I would love if she switched to avex. I'd like to see how well she'd do then.

I agree with you guys, she has amazing songs... I want to see her being big. Or at least
not a shame @_@

weekly ranking for LOVE 2

33　3,956　青山テルマ

T_T

:( poor... they wont drop her, right?

i think the japanese music industry doesn't drop artist as frequent as the us/uk industry. there's a lot of japanese acts that dont even sell but still has a contract some where.

i hope she wont be dropped or retire anytime soon. i still enjoy her release especially her last single and this LOVE!2... i didnt like her collab with Taeyang though.
