OMG, her performance on Kouhaku was so terrible, and what the heck was with her hair? It made me cringe in horror at her awful notes, even my grandma was like "what the heck is this?" My boyfriend said, "What the heck was that Otsuka Ai performance? Is that supposed to be 'singing'? I had to turn the volume down and turn the station it was so bad!" She should NEVER sing that song again. Please, just NO.

as far I know Travis , Warner Music S'pore has never produced her albums locally at all

all of them were imported overseas & I believe for LOVE LETTER's case , they got the stock from Taiwan

it pays to have a friend in Taiwan

^ From Taiwan? Not Hong Kong? o.o Because her previous albums seem to be imported from HK.

frankly I'm not sure because all I know's that all of her albums have not been produced locally at all by Warner

they have never done that at all

I finally got around to downloading LOVE LETTER on here. I hadn't made it a priority after seeing the mediocre reactions from everyone and I got to say it's better than I expected - probably because I didn't expect anything out of it. I listened to it yesterday and the problem is, most of the songs sound the same. Right now I am listening to LOVE PUNCH and I have to say, I really miss this kind of material from her. I don't know what the heck happened to her music now but it just makes me sad listening to how good her older stuff was!

^ I don't hate the cover but I don't think it's the best. LOVE JAM has the best cover! Lol. It goes...

LOVE JAM > LOVE PUNCH > LOVE PiECE > LOVE COOK > LOVE LETTER

as far as album covers go.

LOVE PiECE only sold about 376,115 in total which was a sharp drop of sales as LOVE COOK sold 835,333 overall so you can imagine

*nods*

her previous albums's tracks are much much better which's why initally when LL was leaked out so early , I hated it to the core . Didn't helped matters that there weren't an official tracklist but I'm OK with it now .

I still don't think LL's her best album that she has put out to date sadly

haha I think outta the 5 , I say I like LOVE PiECE as it's very innovative

the LOVE JAM ones still scares me

I have a similar feeling. I really really like "LOVE LETTER", but there's less variety on it than on her earlier albums. For example, there's no crazy song on it. And the rock-popish songs sound really similar, so at first I could hardly remember what they sound like.

yeah ... it was only until she released the PVs for Ai , Do Positive & 360 degree that I managed to get a better memory/lasting impression of the songs

I still need to listen to LL. Don't know if I want to since there is no crazy song! D:
I think the songs I have listened to are Rocket Sneaker, One x Time, and Pocket.

Shacihata is crazy, but not in a Katouri Senkou or ponpon way.
