Well, to me Ai-chan's CD+DVD albums are not that worthy (esp when there's comparison, such as ayu's album DVD with 7 pvs + makings). I think her CD versions are more valuable instead. I will wait for her second best albums if I want to collect the pvs .

(That's the opposite of ayu's best albums. The only reason I bought A BEST 2 BLACK & WHITE is that I love ayu... otherwise I've 90% of the songs and pvs from her old albums anywayz).

Wow! So the whole puzzle cover isn't the actual cover and instead there's a bunch of different heart colored covers? Interesting...

Then again, J-rock isn't as in demand as J-pop.

The DVD personally wasn't attractive to me because it seemed like a lot of money for not all that much stuff. I'd rather get the photobook than the PV for "U-Boat", but I guess now no photobook for me either XD Oh well, I'm content with just the CD.
damn! YesAsia have no first pressings either. and CDJAPAN don't ... omg. no colour cases for me

OKAY SO. If I were to buy LOVE PiECE CD or CD+DVD, I would get the cover with 6 puzzle pieces and NOT with the standing Ai? o.o; Oh, how I love the confusion you create.

Anyway, I'm super excited for the album. It's mostly new for me, since I've only heard 3 songs from it.

I'm so confused too! Someone will have to explain once they actually get the album.

How many new songs will there be again? Since most of it will be singles, I'm not very excited.

My understanding is that the six color cases are FIRST PRESS EDITIONS ONLY. That is, once they all sell out, any CD-only versions will have the colorful puzzle piece picture as the cover. I'm not sure about the CD+DVD, but it might have the same cover as the CD-only after the first press promotion runs out...

I'm getting the CD-only version, so hopefully someone who bought CD+DVD after the first press editions will tell us

IM surprised honestly by this album! i listened to it entirely each day since its leak..which i never did for LOVE COOK...special!

Mirai Taxi is soooo cool! love it
Kumuriuta is just plain, simple gorgeous..!
Katorisenkou is crazily addictive!
Hoshi no Tango is so sweet and beautiful...i like it like HEART
Mackerel's canned food also doesnt sound crazy which i tot it would coz of the title...i like it too!

the single songs feel so much better in this album..those last year really seem fresh to me coz i havent heard them since after Ren'ai...and of coz..I liked CHU-LIP and PEACH/HEART

so this album is GD!!! but for some reason, it doesnt top LOVE COOK because of the variety in it...its very cutesy and pop...she need ballads (stronger wans) and definitely some Cherish-rock in futre...hopefully

but this album is a 10/10 for me...funny thing is, i didnt enjoy ALL of LOVE COOK despite lieking it so much

TBH the song placement on this album is a little choppy, since there are softer songs embedded within really weird cracktastic songs; ex. Kumuriuta is right after PEACH, Hoshi no Tango right before Katorisenkou. It would've been better to place the songs by upbeat melodies and then slow it down with the ballads. But that aside...here's what I think of the new tracks:

Kumuriuta: My favorite song on the album. This album version is longer with a more drawn out crescendo....I remember some people not liking it when it first came out on PV (since it lacked a clear climax) but this album version is much better in that you can hear the poignant rise of Ai's voice better. That, coupled with the rain-like melody makes for a very beautiful ballad.

Mirai Taxi: Sounds borderline electronic Funky and cool; the arrangement of this song is its strong point.

Katorisenkou: Has a fun, punkish-type of background beat and guitar riffs; very different for Ai! Almost like Sakuranbo re-worked and with the volume turned WAY up XD The verses are good and strong but the "KA KA KA KA KA KAKADSRDEAX#@#!" during the chorus really prevents me from loving this song. It gets annoying after a while. But otherwise, Ai's really funny singing is enjoyable; especially during the last part where she draws out her voice! Cracktastic indeed.

Hoshi no Tango: ...is another new thing for Ai. It has a cute and mellow background beat. I wish she would quit with the use of "aitai" though; it's there in HEART, it's there in Mirai Taxi, it's in this song. Yeah, she wants to see someone. I get it. XD I also wish this song was a little longer.

Mackeral's canned food: More mellow than I expected. All around nice, though not the most original thing ever. That's alright though; Ai's voice sounds good here.

Overall I think LOVE COOK is still her best album, but this album ranks second, with LOVE JAM following close behind :3

I'd SO like to listen to "LOVE PiECE"! ;_; But I don't want to spoil any more (I listened to the previews that were posted), because there's only 5 new songs...

Hope my copy arrives soo~n.
