also, i love the do positive performance so much, it's making me like the song when previously i didn't care much for it. you all should really watch the tour~ it's at JPS if nobody has uploaded it here yet. i'd like to read your opinions on it. i usually get bored with ai tours but this one was really entertaining imo

[Chiharo]

^I just watched it a bit but not all though. It seems as a really entertaining tour. I still have to watch it in full so I can't comment much about it.

[hearted]

i didn't get it either, i usually would skip over them but i watched that one to try to understand but was like "wut?" yeah i think it was just one real guy in the middle and two stuffed dolls attached to him, it was so weird

[hpg23]

Does anyone have translated Ai interviews?

And I heard a rumour (and I have this weird feeling D: ) that Ai could be retiring soon (with all the bests and the LOVE minialbum, and also Bye Bye being the last single that she has released, and that supposedly she wants to marry and have kids). What do you think of it? I would be very, very sad if Ai retired, she is one of my favorite artists -_-

[zyoeru]

I hope she doesn't retire!
I'll also be sad..

it's probably just a rumor. i don't think she'd retire, especially so soon. does ai even have a boyfriend to marry and have kids with?

[mellody]

I want to say hello to Otsuka Ai thread~

I think it's just another rumor...

I just heard that "The First Period about LOVE has ended" Next year, the second period will start, i think that the LOVE period here talks about her LOVE titled album (LOVE PUNCH, LOVE JAM, LOVE COOK, LOVE PiECE, LOVE LETTER) so the next period will start in next year i think, and the album wouldn't have any 'LOVE' title anymore~

[hearted]

^ whaaaat??? no more LOVE albums????? thats so sad

oh really? but that wasn't officially announced or anything right?
i'm getting kind of tired of the LOVE before everything, so i wouldn't mind it

[sugarbasil]

I doubt that rumor is true. I can't imagine her stopping composing and singing for a life of domestication (especially without a boyfriend).

And can someone help me out here? I really want to buy her LOVE LETTER tour DVD, but I need a region-free version. My computer can only switch regions up to 3 times before it sticks in the last used version. I found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

and it's super cheap, but I'm a bit confused on it. It's missing a bunch of the songs she performed (according to the set list), and the set list is completely different. Does anyone have any idea as to what might be the deal?

So, what is next period if this rumor is true? Apparently I want she can do something more than LOVE.

Aw, I totally didn't even notice that they were from 2 different shows. Damn, I'm going to have to wait for an overseas version or something. I can't do it unless it's region-free.

[KarenPang]

eh Cat , her LOVE LETTER DVD's already released in avex Taiwan's site

http://www.avex.com.tw/4th/artist/ar...&anamec=otsuka

[zyoeru]

So basically, Ai has released two DVDs of the same concert? I think I'll dl the one on JPS when I get home.

It looks like misunderstood...

It means that, her 'LOVE' titled album before is the first period, not the Bunny named LOVE, i mean...
I don't know very much about her LOVE bunny, but about this 'LOVE' period title, so we're going to see another her album title without words 'LOVE' anymore~

I hear that from Taiwan website though, she said that in her concert in Taiwan this year~ (LOVE IS BORN Anniversary 6th if i'm not mistaken~)
And Channel-Ai member who came to the concert also mentioned that

[waterballoon]

LOL what if her new albums start with...

Spoiler:

SEX.

SEX PUNCH (whoa)
SEX JAM (omg!)
SEX COOK (lolol)
SEX PiECE (HAHA)
SEX LETTER (interesting... )

I'm just REALLY kidding.
