Yeah but she had her tour and that takes a lot of work. Maybe she needs like a step out of the public eye for a while kind of thing - no tours, no new singles, just a chance to keep living life without everything. Maybe she'll get inspired and get that touch again.

lol Rocket Sneakers x OnexTime isn't that bad as a whole ~ I like the single but its not too strong tho XD it would make GREAT album songs lol !

same here, lol. :P

*nods head* sales are just secondary to me too

you can download her performance of One x Time that she did last Fri at MUSIC STATION via http://www.zshare.net/video/1332244031c700ca/

lol I still care about sales XD I Won't lie ._. but I still like this single =) ~! I just don't wait Ai to die out T^T lol ~ I want Ai to be prosperous ( I Think thats the right term XD) ~!

New Ai Otsuka fan :D
Jeez I've been listening to a lot of people lately :irked
Anyways, I noticed that I simply love Ai's ballads more than her upbeat songs. Her ballads are gorgeous, especially Daisuki Da Yo and Kingyo Hanabi. Beautiful songs <3

OMG AyUta!!!
Those are 2 of my fav Ai songs EVER! They are sooo pretty...

^ :yes They're beautiful. It's hard to choose which one is my fav, but I think I'd have to go with Kingyo Hanabi. Any other ballads you think I'd like by Ai?

Personally I enjoyed Pocket so maybe you should give that a listen. And Momo no Hanabira isn't really a ballad but it's kind of a spring midtempo song that really is wonderful! You should hear it!!!

I love the sound of Kingyo Hanabi - portrays the emotions well
Daisuki da yo just sounds so personal and genuine that you can't not love it.

^ I'll definitely give that a try. I liked Momo no Hanabira! =O

Haha, Daisuki da yo was my first Ai song believe it or not, a looong time ago. I had no idea it was her that sung that song. I found it while browsing anime music sites on myspace and they just randomly had her in their playlist. I was like, what a beautiful song! :laugh

I just found a very weird and random Ai song x___x;
It was Ramen 3-pun cooking.

Yay!! Momo no Hanabira is indeed awesome.
Daisuki da yo + Kingyo Hanabi = Gorgeous ballads

Other Songs: Cherish, Planetarium, Shabondama [I think it's soooo pretty], Strawberry Jam, Sensu, Friends, Mousou Chop [it's interesting lol] and Haneari Tamago [I think it's pretty too]

Basically her older works are the things to look at.
And yeah, that is a random song :)

OMGOSH lol A new Ai fan yay ~! Ballads XD ~! Well most of them are listed...

=O NO1 LISTEN REN'AI SHASHIN? XD ~! lol I unno I think this song is GREAT and underrated by HYD fans XD Who just say Planetarium > Ren'ai Shashin T^T ~! Lol

Lol I can't really recommend songs because i like almost all of Ai's Songs ^^ Except for Daisuki da yo for some reason o_o"

I think ren'ai shashin >>>> Planetarium. Planetarium sounds so... flat and weak. And it never reaches a climax. I never did understand what the hype about that song was. :thud
