discussions? :luv2

I love both covers, I can't decide which one I want!

YAY! Awesomeness! :luv2 The covers are just so adorable!

It's about time she have her own official thread too!

She seems to like facial-zoom-ins.. XD

She's very good at what she does. She reminds me of Mackenzie Phillips or what's her name XD

Except you know, not as old looking. XD

Yeah..she has been doing that a lot recently. I liked last year's album covers a lot. I would pay a TON to have the limited edition for Yume No Naka no Massuguna Michi. She looked uber cute there.

I like the first press better, but I think that's because of the earings :D. I've only heard a few songs, but I liked them all. Any suggestions?

I've heard Kirakira and STAR.. and I like kirakira more XD :]

It's very upbeat and she gets all jazzed up on the piano LOL~

^^ Those 2 songs are my favorites! :D

That reminds me I still haven't bought "Yume~" yet. Damn. Only the regular edition is left on YesAsia. :( My friend (Akatsuki on AHS) has the limited edition of it. *steals*

Reviving this thread!

The album is coming out next week! Who is excited? :D I think the album will do great!

NICE COVERS!!!! :luv2

Check out the NINKI chart predictions:

149.80 - ａｉｋｏ - 彼女
27.30 - 川嶋あい - ピアノソングス～路上集２号～
22.50 - 矢野顕子 - いままでのやのあきこ
19.90 - カントリー娘。 - カントリー娘。大全集②
18.90 - パリス・ヒルトン - パリス・ヒルトン

AWESOMENESS! :P

Her high NINKI numbers are not really surprising. aiko's albums always have high sales (all 400 000+, the only exception is "chiisana...") and most of the time get to #1 :) Let's hope "kanojo" will sell better than "yume..."! :D

aiko did 250k first week yay.

After a few listens, I realise that I can't listen to aiko's albums all the way through anymore, I get bored out of my wits before I reach the end.

She still puts out good songs, and she usually has good choices of singles, and the opening songs of her albums are almost always winners, but her album-only material in general just doesn't cut it for me anymore. She has released an amazingly consistent level of good songs since her debut though, which is definitely respectable.

aiko is one of my favo j-singers ^ _ ^
Boy friend was the first song I heard from her. : ) and I still love it : )

250,059 copies! Woohoo!

I'm downloading her album on Jpopsuki. Hopefully it's a good one. :3

Btw, what's her genre?

a lot of happy, piano/drums/trumpet led pop music.

^^ Yup, yup! And kind of jazzy too!

zomg I love the album xD
