i don't understand that why LOVE PiECE sold so badly :s

Yea why? Maybe because the singles are not that well-recieved, there's only five new tracks, and no interludes?

probably Joel because that's the only reason I can think of

if you look at the sales difference between LOVE COOK & LOVE PiECE , it's quite a bit difference

[ville]

i thought so too, only five new songs ... :/
still LOVE PiECEs all singles sold +100k .

ya but after Pocket was released , her single sales started to become affected big time

not sure what happened though

[ville]

yes, i would like to know too, why ?
her songs aren't getting any worse, that's my opinion.
pocket was really great and RSxO was good too, but the covers were terrible :I

honestly I like RS / OxT . I believe it's due to the lousy covers & the low budget RS PV which kinda spoilt the whole thing

I don't know why KN's selling badly as I really thought it has the potential to overtake the sales of RS / OxT

guess not

[ville]

i'm surprised that why KN sales are so bad... it's covers are maybe one of Ai s prettiest and all songs in it are good.

i hope that her next release is like SMILY or something energetic.

What I don't get about Otsuka Ai is why she celebrates her anniversary every single year. Like, didn't she do it for 3rd and 4th also? I can understand 5th, but it's kind of like unnecessary to have a 3rd and 4th anniversary tour as well.

[Jwiz]

^ Oh she does? That defeats the purpose and lessen effectiveness of anniversaries for Ai Otsuka.

[ville]

it's just her style or something (:

from what I know Joel she always celebrate her anniversary in the music business with a tour dvd

if you look at http://wiki.theppn.org/otsuka_ai#DVD , you know what I mean

^ wow neat !

looks like the title of the thread also concides with the name of Ai's upcoming 5th album too

& great 7 new songs as compare to 5 new songs on LOVE PiECE :O , I hope the new songs from LOVE LETTER will be good

I'm curious to hear how 愛 & LOVE LETTER will sound & I think this's the 1st time that Ai has a song title which's the same as the album ?

[WillofDusk]

Wow 8.5 new songs ("ai" isn't that new any more )

There must be another totally random song.
Down to 7.5 songs

Still good as

[Aga-chan]

Yay~!!!

First, when I read the thread title I thought "LOVE LETTER" might be the new album. Then: No, new song. But now... *_*
Thanks for the news. ^^

This is the first time a track has the same title as the album.

[Beauty4123]

YAY! when's the release date?

[Aga-chan]

^December 17th. ^^

[Beauty4123]

lol yeah that will be a nightmare

avex will be silly to do something like that anyway since I don't think they wouldn't wanna put a dent to ayumi's no.1 consecutive streak record

[jiarongisme]

^ You meant won't..?

Okay I so totally can't wait for the new album now. D:
