[freedreamer]

QueeN is gonna be such a jam!!
The album feels sweet and light! Very nicely put together

[mi|kshake]

I enjoyed the previews and can't wait to order the album!

[AyumiAi]

so excited for this album

[Kaiouforever]

I actually really like the previews! I think this will be a nice, cohesive album.

Official site was update with a new promo picture:

Spoiler:

A special site was also opened for the album:
http://avex.jp/ai/lovehoney/

Seems like this album is a super collaborative project, with 9 collaborations total. One being the fabric spray, which is why it is an album good lol. The cake on the cover of the album was the second collaboration and it's made by HUGO&VICTOR with Ai having helped design it. If you're in Japan, you can actually buy the cake in the Tokyo H&V store between April 1st and May 7th.

Next, Ai has a collaboration with MyNavi Women where she answers questions regarding love/relationships.

Then we have Watashi being a drama theme. Sakura was the theme for FLOWERS by NAKED. HEY!BEAR is for a manga. Starter Pistol is for the lyric speaker. And HEART BREAK is a collaboration with KitKat. There's a short performance of it here:


And the last collaboration is ~coming soon~.

She also has a special page on Amazon, where they recommend different products based on the songs on the album.

And she posted a longer preview of QueeN on her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BSQnkkEjuBU/

I loved Starter Pistol! And yes, that speaker is really cool but $3,000 is a little too much

And Ai looks stunning in that new promo picture! I'm getting more and more excited for this album.

[freedreamer]

So many tie-ins!!!

[oaristos]

I found these videos on YouTube (I didn't know she had a tour to promote LOVE TRICKY) and I'm amazed at how much energy she has performing live, even though it's a really small venus. That's my favorite kind of concert.

[Chibi-Chan]

^God, that was AMAZING! I need to watch the whole thing. (and I wished Ayu would have done something as simple as that for her TA tours)

[ladyluthien]

That promo pic of her is absolutely gorgeous, now I'm slightly jealous that it wasn't used for an album cover lol

I'm actually in love with this song too. It reminds me of stuff she put on LOVE JAM and LOVE COOK.

[terra]

I really love the energy that is laugh, the live rendition and extend sounds so so good!

[chocopockymaster]

She looks drop-dead gorgeous in that promo pic. *__* I've always thought Ai was pretty but this is a whole new level.

[taskinillusion]

I'm loving the previews for the new album!

She sounded amazing during that concert! Going to have to watch the full thing!

She looks beautiful too.

And that speaker video... I don't know what it was about because I was too distracted by squealing over the KITTENS!

[Toniayu123]

Her team did a good job with promotion this time in my opinion. Hope it helps with the sales, because i think they certainly do matter.
Haven't listened to anything yet, I'm not really in the mood for listening to her right now but hope the album is good.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Her husband just got caught in a cheating scandal with a model 22 years younger then he is. Hope she'll be ok

[ladyluthien]

Oh no!!! Poor Ai

[Bigtop]

WHAAAAAT!?!?!? Husband cheating scandal?????

Oh no... That's not good...

[terra]

WTH!! OMG Poor Ai
