edit: Ai's official site just posted the news, so those songs are confirmed to be in the album

I got these from AiChannel website, weird title, so ungrammatical.. JPOP artistes should all learn some english before making titles.. First STEP YOU now LOVE COOK. LOVE COOKER sounds nicer or LOVELY COOK or LOVES COOKING or LOVELY COOKING.. cant wait for it!!! Bye my money, I wont miss you!

or BOLD AND DELICIOUS COOKING

[leafyamazaki]

Ai's a cook, and she cooks "love," therefore she's a Love Cook.*

'Bold and Delicious'
Bold = Something that stands out (can be taste or aroma).


* = Not exactly the best theory, but... meh.

[AureateCalyx]

lol LOVE COOK?!?!?! I hope she doesn't have meat and vegetables plastered on her face like in Love Jam ....

[Annabelle]

I think it's a great title. Original and it fits well in her album name style. I actually wanted her 3rd album to be called LOVE COOKIE a while ago

Love Cooker? That's not proper english. Love Cook makes perfect sense, love being the adjetive describe a cook.

Sounds good to me Can;t wait for the album

[elepop]

"LOVE COOK"? LOL. "LOVE PUNCH" & "LOVE JAM" were cuter. I wonder what the cover will look like!

if the first cover has candies! and the second GUm... maybe the third will have... hamburgers burning on her face! xD

[Brittany]

^Hamburgers? LOL .. I seriously do not know how artists come up with such .. names. Why couldn't it be LOVE FEAST? in time for Thanksgiving?

LOVE COOK really doesen't sound cute at all. But if you really think of LOVE JAM, that isen't so cute either. As long as the content is good....

[PSYCHEDELICOdust]

So she's weird? I could care less about the title and more about the songs.

[Calico]

LOVE COOK does seem a bit of a different path since LOVE PUNCH and LOVE JAM. I was wondering how she would continue the theme, thinking if she kept on using foods. Oh well. If you can't think of anything, use the name of a person who uses food! =P

Her fourth album will probably be called "LOVE EATER"

[MsMiyabi]

I want to get [CD+Picture book] this might be the first Ai Otsuka I will get.

that sounds downright scary!

[Annabelle]

Come to think of it, her "4th" album will surely be a best-of... LOVE BEST? I can't wait to see the cover of LOVE COOK. I'm so excited! <3

[AyuGAME]

she continue her album name like that
its her pattern
i agree with annabelle her best album will have "love best" as a title

that would be cute! burgers slapped on her face! The title sounds weird, thank goodness the songs are all 5 star quality! How is LOVE COOK gramatically correct? Love is an activity, cook is also one.. I forgot all those terms.

[Corybobory]

Love cook isnt ungrammatical if love is a noun (being used as an adjective) and not a verb...

[starr5245]

wow, all her Albums starts with "love". Lovely. I shall buy this too.

[gakkun]

I think it makes sense. It means a cook of love. =p Cook can be a noun too you know. I don't get why everyone's shocked this title when Ayu's one who came up with my name's WOMEN and STEP you.

[ayuzilla]

No, you are wrong. There is nothing wrong with that phrase. In this scenario "love" is being used as a noun and is the subject. Thus it can be compared to such things as a "car salesman," "computer programmer," "art historian" or "building architect." Being a "Love Cook" is in other words a "Cook of Love" like one would be a Meat Chef...a Chef of Meat who specializes in meatery. Unless of course the "cook" in love cook refers to the verb or action of cooking...then yes they need to learn English. But alas even that is questionable...think Chicken Bake ^_^
