^haha! but it will be really amazing if ai chin did write that!
I love the covers! That's the smile i love! Ai's smile just make the cover shine! and i actually like the fonts! It's not bad compared to Rocket Sneaker/ One x Time.

But still, I'm not happy with the fonts used. It just doesn't match the picture. I was hoping that they would have used fonts similar to the one used for Kurage... ...
If they were using similar fonts used for kurage, i feel that it would make the cover more 'serious' kind of mood. Im fine with no whacky fonts that destroy her lovely smile on the cover.
I feel that this cover represents ai's very true self. I love it! |

^ Personally, I feel that the fonts used for Kurage wasn't serious at all. It had that 'personal feel'.
But it will be really cool if Ai Chan wrote it.  |

I think the complains came from the small preview from the site. At first glance, I found the image and font mismatching too. But when I saw the bigger version that keitaro shared with us, I notice that it's handwritten and suddenly it seem to look better with the image because of the meaning behind the font.

It's almost like this is really Ai being her cute self, smiling. Not Ai with a hand full of jelly beans, or Ai with her face full of jam or Ai with her head wrapped in a red cloth looking like she's starved, but a bright and happy Ai~
I like it.
Totally agree. This is a very nice change from the usual Ai album covers, very refreshing! This is also the first time Ai had smile so brightly and naturally on album/single cover. |

Yea. I think everybody who supports Ai Chan should buy the album instead of downloading it online. I think we should ban links to album download sites, at least for the first few weeks of its release 'cause all these downloading will affect her sales. |

I'm buying Ai's album, I do my small part in supporting her.  I wish I could get both versions but for now I'm only buying the Cd Version
. . . and . . .
again I like the other cover better  I never get the cover I want 
Ah well they're still both nice |

Sorry.. but I don't agree...
There's people who can't buy the album even if they want...
My friend will buy the album for me because she will go to Japan...But for some people it's difficult to buy the albums.
First af all, some of us are still "kids" ( ) who deppend on their parents..and we don't own a credit card to buy it.
It's really hard to buy from some far and forgotten countries like mine....and the album is only released on Japan and some near asian countries...
Here on Ecuador we don't have an asian store where we can find the CD's
Buying a digital copy online isn't the same as having the CD, it's a good way to support the singer...But if I search on the Latin American iTunes store I won't be able to find asian music...and I can't buy from the Japanese store.
I don't think that the fact of people from other countries downloading the album affects her sales too much...because there's not so many people overseas that buys her album...and we just represent a low percentage for the sales..
Donwloading it from here isn't even illegal because the CD isn't distributed or licensed by any company here.
Ok...that's what I think....I always support Ai when I can...but buying every single release from her it's really difficult for some people.. |

^ I understand what you mean but the point is that if there's a download link then even fans in Asia might just download it instead of purchasing the physical cd. And at the end of the day, downloading will affect her sales no matter how big or small the percentage is.
Quote: Donwloading it from here isn't even illegal because the CD isn't distributed or licensed by any company here.
From what I know, downloading is illegal even if the cd isn't distributed in your area. |

I'm 21 year below and uneligible to obtain credit card (But i'm not kids anymore)
here @ malaysia are quite difficult to get otsuka latest cd or any of her works too... especially album with first press edition... when they reach here the first press has become dunno how many press
but lucky i'm got some relationship.. i ask my friend who old enough to have credit card and buy online for me and i pay them back immediately.
i believe 10 of ur friend at least 1 will have credit card and i believe they will help you

erm~ Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia, USA, California, Melbourne and Canada could contribute alot even each of them only represent small portion of the sales.
as additional, it is from our purchases where Avex trax will track and arrange otsuka tour as well as country visit..
example, Taiwan there so many otsuka fans.. and therefore last time, otsuka got her taiwan visit and tour (sorry i'm not good at explaning but hope u guys get what i mean)
otherwise she may stop any tour since she only well-known inside japan T_T(we know a~ avex so money face )
Last time i'm still living in Indonesia, only F4(taiwan singer) come indonesia because they so popular even native citizen there buy their original cd's and "Meteor Garden" drama.(our currency very small making those cd's cost a fortune to us)
S.H.E never come because no one support them in term of sales and all people prefer go singapore buy their cd's T_T(indonesia too many pirated cd's make me also scared to buy there) |

LOL why are we arguing about downloading here?
My view is that a person is going to buy the album if they want to, regardless of whether they had downloaded it or not. Downloading just doesn't affect it. I don't think that non-Japanese fans of J-Pop will find satisfaction with substituting a physical CD with mp3s. |
