[Ai Otsuka] The Fifteen x Time Official Ai Otsuka Thread

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I guess I'm one of the few excited for a mini album by LOVE ( ). I think its exciting to get a glimpse of the old Ai unless the new tracks are like sophisticated techno ballads or something ( ). Lame, I know ( ).

LOVE's music isn't of course exactly like Ai's but it does of course have that quality of her so I'm excited.

EDIT: WOW just saw the calendar pics. Anyone else got a nosebleed on July and August? Coincidence that it's on my birthday, I THINK NOT.

I never ever expected to see Ai in a bra so it was like x20 better than if it was some other girl ( ).

i got my LOVE COOK first press + photo book today and omg
i love the photo book so much she is sooo cute
i can't believe there are no scans to be found online of it.. or none that i know of
please, if someone has a scan of this pic i really want it. i'd scan it myself but i don't want to wreck my book

[sanzo2011]

yes ! can u please scan it ? i 've searched it for long time ! thanks u so much !

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Like I said earlier, I love the calendar pics (ESPECIALLY JULY AND AUGUST), but why are they so expensiiiive? For only 6 pages... I know all of these singer's and band's calendars are this expensive but still!

[zyoeru]

^ Yeah, they say that they're huge and I believe it, but I have more important things to spend my money on, sadly!

[Keiichi_JPU]

Oh my god.

I discovered Planitarium today, I think I'm in love.

I only knew about Ai's happy songs, like Sakuranbo and Peach (both of which I love to bits btw ) but her ballads are also REALLY good!

Ai

[zyoeru]

I agree, her ballads are soooo pretty and puranetariamu is one of her best.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Aww Planeterium was my first Ai song (or one of them)! I think its her best ballad, it's one of her most well-known songs after all.

[KarenPang]

is it no surprises on nowadays whenever I hear Planetarium , Hana Yori Dango immediately popped into my mind ? .___.

I went to see what the women voted and was surprised to see that Ai was not on the list. I guess only men like her ( ). >KarenPang

Wonder why ( ).

Who or what exactly IS LOVE? I'm so confused as to what you guys are even talking about.
