There's technically this thread already. Maybe you can ask a mod to combine these together?

Yes, we know, a few people in there asked if that thread could be closed and a new one created, so I took the initiative and made one with a lot more info in the first post.

Oh alright! I didn't notice that. Sorry xD

I've been kind of interested in her. But the tagging for her debut album is such a mess.

No worries! I've been kind of obsessed with AILI since I first heard her FUTURE album, which is why I wanted to make the thread.

And you're right, the tagging is atrocious. I've been contemplating ripping my own CD copy, if only I knew how to do a decent job of it.

Which reminds me, I need to add in her rental only single of "Memoirs Again". Should I upload it here? The mega mix is definitely worth a listen.

EDIT: Turns out I don't need to, found a thread with the upload here:

I listened to her mini-album. It was okay. I really like the song 'Run Away.' For some reason, I like when she says "run away". lol

^VIVID is SO good! I think Run away has to be the best track on there in my opinion! All the songs are great though!

I'm holding out until I get my physical copy, but I feel like I might crack soon! I've heard such good things about the album too, so I'm even more excited!

I FINALLY received my copy of VIVID a few days ago. Australia Post were holding it at my local PO, but never sent me a notification, so I had no idea it was sitting there for 9 days.

I tried to scan the pics in the booklet, but the ONLY one that turned out semi decent was this one:

Spoiler:





Can anyone clean up the lines? I have no idea how to do it myself. And please don't upload it anywhere without permission. Thank you. ^_^

I scanned most of the pages, but they just turned out really awful.

I'm so happy, nearly every time I tweet AILI she replies to me. Our little joke about men has to be my favourite though...
