I like the covers. aiko never fails to do well for me.

wow, i think i'm gonna get into aiko because of kisshug and HYD, lol. i love her last single "futari". i think i'll DL her "himitsu" album to try her out. :) she's BEAUTIFUL too, btw. :yes

I lvoe the first press copy but the regular edition kinda scares me lol ~ >< ~! The song is pretty good tho ~ Although compared to her Himitsu singles it wasn't as good T^T ~! But I still like it <3 ~!

i just heard "KissHug" because of HYD and it's beautiful! :)
i might possibly buy the single.

What awesome covers!
I can't wait for the single to come out, I hope it's gonna be huge also ^_^

^ I want it to be huge too ~ its been awhile sinve Aiko was a SUPER Seller lol ~! She deserves it too T^T ~! her music is really good =) ~! I'm surprised she got famouse from such a small record label ~! lol ! well its small IMO XD

OMGOSH lol sorry I just had to post that I finally got my copy of himitsu and it is <333 ~! Lol ~! I LOVE THE ALBUM TRACK <333 ~! I really wanna get kanojo now lol I loved kumo wa shiro ringo wa aka a lot lol.

Himitsu is really great! Umi Usagi is lovely ^_^
And Kumo wa shiro.. is my favourite song from her! I wanna have a pink umbrella like hers in the video *-*'

^ lol ~! I love Umi Usagi too ^^ lol ~! I think my most favourite album track has to be Koi Michi =) ~! I love that umbrella too lol ~! its so pretty O_O ~! I hope aiko's b-sides on kisshug are good lol ~! I think I might buy the single =)

I hope she gets #1!

First press is so aiko.
The regular one looks like something I've already seen. :O

OH YEAH. I freaked out today. I was looking at the top albums of 2000 and aiko was #10. :|

^ lol aiko's sales are pretty good IMO from 2005 -> 2008 her singles sales practically stayed the same XD Kumo wa shiro ringo wa aka is around the same as futari =) ~! I'm just surprised her album charted so poorly =/ ~!

Does anyone know the lyrics + translations to Hoshi no nai Sekai and Futari? lol I can't find a site with them XD ~!

KissHug PV: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x66...sshug-pv_music

How uncanny, KissHug's NINKI rating is 91.10. :O
I think it's okay. I still think that it will sell more than Hoshi no Nai Sekai / Yokogao did, but I'm keeping my expectations at a relatively safe amount of 150k.

just watched kisshug pv!
aiko rocks! love this song very much!

KissHug debuted at the #2 spot, as expected. The first day sales are well on par with aiko's recent singles, but I think that this one will have more longevity than the rest of them.

26,084 Shiawase
28,679 Hoshi no Nai Sekai / Yokogao
29,307 Futari
26,003 KissHug

lol, I always forget there's an aiko thread XD
But I love KissHug and I'm waiting for the single to leak anyday now...
Keep fighting aiko!!!
...tie-in is helping much though...it should've been released closer to the movie...

I loooooove the song <3
I hope it has a good chart-run, #2 is already great ^^~

#2 isn't so bad since she's up against hey! say! JUMP, lol.

^ agreed ~! Her debut day seems really good =) ~! Thanks criminal forshowing me the comparison lol! I like seeing that kinda stuff XD ~! GO aiko!!!
