Wow a new thread already? Well it looks splendid! I'm so excited for this single x.x...and I still can't get over how pretty that cover is!

[AyUta]

Wow, the cover is really nice =O and so is the song. <3 all of Ai's ballads are really pretty, IMO.

Same goes for me. I strongly disliked Ai's voice and music (even now I'm still a little iffy on her vocals) before, but her ballads won me over big time. I've learned to appreciate some of her happier songs like CHU-LIP and Ramen 3-pun Cooking, but I still prefer her ballads or non-happy-go-lucky material.

Her voice's like a helium at times

her ballads are the ones that changed my total perception on her

Same here. though I have a dislike for Chu-lip

[AyuGAME]

WOW!!! i don't know that the cover or her new single is already out

[KarenPang]

actually the cover that you saw on the 1st post , it's only the CD + DVD edition

problem's I don't know if it's the 1st press or the regular cover

so the other 3 covers are not out yet

[taskinillusion]

That is SUCH a beautiful cover!!! *_* I loooove it! Can't wait to see the others (if they're different, which I'm assuming they will be slightly different...)

Overall, this is just such a beautiful single. I can't wait to see the PV!!

[ayumixfan]

Wow am I the only person who got into Ai through her happy songs? CHU-LIP and PEACH won me over LOL ~! I was like WTF ~ bbut it was so catchy XD

OMGOSH my post count is 911 LOL ~!

[DestinyWishes]

^ I got into Ai through her happy music, but I love her ballads just as much.

[Solarblade]

^SMILY got me into her, its prolly just cuz of the PV LOL but I ove her to death!

BTW....i wanted to mention about something of Kurage, Nagareboshi's cover. I think there's a jellyfish on the cover. Look at her wrist, don't it look like the body and the tentacles are Ai's fingers...c'mon doesn't it make sense?

[KarenPang]

by right Sakuranbo was the 1st song I heard from her . I hated it at 1st

Planetarium was the 1st proper song that sealed the deal for me & for the record I'm ok with Sakuranbo now

[TITANIC]

cant wait to see regular version..

very nice thread, Namiie

[criminal]

Wow, her cover is a real head-turner.
