[Ai Otsuka] LOVE.IT! The 17th Official Ai Otsuka Thread

[KarenPang]

I was brought up with UK English in here since young which explains so

I know the Americans write certain words differently , like color instead of colour (which I will write it as so)

anyway hmm LUCKY☆STAR is a grower , nothing fantastic to me as of now D: but I hope I will be proven wrong on this soon

Ah yes, I just can't write using American English other than the -ize ending but only because Oxford prefers that ending. XD

I'm really loving LUCKY STAR...got it on repeat.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me with my question.

Was there a first press for the Love Letter Premium Box? I was also wondering if the letter is included in every box? I'm guessng it's a printed letter?

are you talking about this ? -> http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVBD-91727

you can read the description of the item in that link & I saw it being sold here too at HMV

initally I didn't know what's that but when I saw it , I thought oh cool that they packaged the DVD in this manner

[ストロボ・EdGE]

What I absolutely love about Lucky Star is that it's not like the more mature adult style of Love Letter but it's not exactly like her older, crazy happy pop songs, but right in between and I like that.

[matt9210]

^^ Yeah, that's what I meant I already ordered it from YesAsia, but I just wondered after. It arrived today and came with the letter

The box isn't like how I thought it would be, but it's still a lovely item, and I'm realy happy it's my first Aichan item

The box is about the size of a 2CD + DVD edition of an album, and each of the DVDs are i slip cases. I didn't realise the bonus disc was another concert, so that's awesome!

[KarenPang]

some sources mentioned that LUCKY☆STAR will be released as a single in Feb

but I don't know it's like a bit too late if you ask me , I say at most early march ?

The Winter Olympics will be held on February 12th-28th btw

[hpg23]

yes please!! a new single means a new album and a new album means she's not retiring ^_^

Oh, by the way, does anyone know who are her special thanks to in the LOVE JAM credits? It's written in Japanese and I only get that she thanks her friends and her two rabbits, but I would like to know what she says.

And also, does anyone know of nice interviews of her? I've read some in Channel Ai, there are a bunch of them in a very cool format:

i reeeeeally hope she'll release LUCKY STAR in february.

[adantatu2]

Very soon for a new single, maybe in march

[ville]

yes, i can't wait for the single myself too!
i hope that the covers are not like RS/OxT covers... :/ they're not my favourite.

something like PECH/HEART wcovers would be nice

[sugarbasil]

I just got back from vacation and just heard LUCKY STAR and I think it's pretty good. I don't really think it's the type of song I'd want for the Olympics, but you can just tell by the background music that it's going to have some crazy plot-line PV with it. LOL. I'm more excited for that.

[matt9210]

I watched the Yokohama Arena Tour earlier, and thought it was amazing It'll definately be getting another watch soon

There's quite a bit of drag going on, aha, I loved it! Especially in Shachihata, I couldn't stop laughing!

[agashi]

i love LUCKSTAR! even my little brother want that song for his ringtone! XD~ can't wait for her new single with unique style~

[y_nathz]

hmm i know im not usually here but should i download LUCKY STAR ?
wanna go back being an ai fan again
and the other songs i missed since her first album XD

[KarenPang]

I don't know because frankly you're not missing out on anything if you didn't download the song

I tried listening to it a few more times & I still cannot remember how it sounds like , it's that BAD to me

[y_nathz]

^ well, im confused XD
ok so i wathched her Bye Bye PV randomly n i like it n feels like going back to be her fan
maybe u guys can reccomend me some good songs ?

[matt9210]

Which songs do you prefer, the ballad like or more fun ones?

More upbeat

- H2O, a b-side to the last single she released in 2008, Kurage, Nagareboshi, is amazing!
