While listening to the album I still haven't made it past Ai  I keep playing that one and Rocket Sneaker & even Pocket.  I really enjoyed the singles from this album. Maybe today I'll get to the rest but I doubt it Ai is just gorgeous  One of my favorites so far. |

Same here! XD
It's suprising though! I mean, wtf... one month early! o_o I thought it was a joke when I saw the DL...
Interesting how the opinions differ, but it seems the album overall is good. But I will wait! >_<! |

| Shachihata is excellent. I really liked how Ai used "DABU" as a play on words: in the way how it's often heard in scat singing and how one uses a stamp (shachihata) to dab on paper. Now, whenever I'm using a stamp, I'm going to feel tempted to sing this song. |

I am totally in love with Kimi Fetch! Overall, I'm pretty pleased by this album - it seems like she's trying out a few new types of styles, a lot of them sounding more mature, and I really like most of the new songs on here.
I was going to just "give it a quick listen" to not completely spoil myself but about 50 plays later, that didn't exactly work out as planned |

I think she's doing it on her own. hey, Ai's full of surprises! |

i really love LOVE LETTER its really beautiful!
i got a feeling that shachihata is going to be a "substitute" song for babashi for her concerts. its a really nice song with a catchy tempo, but is it really her voice?? Coz i've never heard her sing like that before.
Creamy and Spicy is a really fun song to listen, I like! And im very interested to know what the whole song is about! lalala~
And i think 'Ai' is a great song to end her concert, like Always Together , and Love Music.
All in all, i think its a better album compared to LOVE PiECE, besides the fact that she have more new songs in this album, i feel that she also have more variety in her songs (or maybe LOVE PiECE have too many mid-tempo songs =x). |

I already gave a review, but let's just do it again- a FULL one this time
1. Pocket: Loved it then, love it now. So cute and beautiful, it's what makes Ai-chin, Ai-chin. Honestly it makes me just cry.
2. Rocket Sneaker: Just such a fun song! Really gives a bouncy feeling and kinda cutesy, but is representative of cute-mature Ai.
3. One x Time: Very elegant and not too flighty; kinda sexy, kinda sultry. A whole new Ai that was only barely explored in HEART on LOVE PiECE.
4. Kurage, Nagareboshi: Much along the lines of Planetarium, Kingyo Hanabi, etc--one of her really Mystic East-Asian-styled ballads. A beautiful song for the summer.
5. Ai: This song is just...wow. It's amazing, what with its messages of love and unity. If the world listened to the message in this song...just only...
6. LOVE LETTER: Her simplest and her purest ballad to date; even more relaxed than Hoshikuzu. Really beautiful. I love it to bits.
7. Creamy&Spicy: Is she starting a epic saga of campfire songs? Honestly it started with drop. way back when and the died, but fired back up again with LIFE-LOVE CiRCLE, and then into Sora to Kujira, H2O and now this? Whoo!! Still, it's a bright and peppy song, also signature Ai.
8. Ningyou: I can't wait for it. Honestly I keep imagining it to be like Marionette by Ayumi Hamasaki, but that'd be kinda scary.
9. Kimi Fetish: (the title can be interpreted as both Fetch and Fetish, but the context of FECHI [フェチ] is 'fetish'.) Wow. Just wow. This is like...whoaaa. In HEART where she was just like 'I really love you, we can do so much more; in One x Time she was all like, 'classy romantic love and innuendos!! Yeah!!'; in this song, she's more like 'let's dry hump until the curtains close, and THEN...'. Yeah. It just rules.
10. Do * Positive: It starts out a little hardcore and then mellows. Kinda reminds me of Frienger mixed with Amai Kimochi Maru Kajiri. It's okay, but, it's kinda forgettable.
11. Bye Bye: Reminds me a little of Rocket Sneaker. Also continues her campfire songs trend! I love it a lot, it's a lot better than Creamy&Spicy.
12. Shachihata: Not to dis her scatting, but it really annoying after a while. Her voice is deeper and more relaxed, but what in the HELL was up with the turkey noises? Just weird.
13. 360 degrees: An ambient song, and reminds me of Kingyo Hanabi, but not up there in its league. It's alright, even if her voice is altered to pieces. The image I get is like... 'what if one day you wake up and your world was underwater'? I'm kinda seeing that going on.
Overall a great album. can't wait for the videos and the big day. (Sorry if that bored the crap out of you  ) |

In term of ARTIST she grow up very much.
She try to do something different in some songs. Some sound good, some not.
But I believe LOVE LETTER will not make many new fans.
And for me... I still LOVE all of fast traks. Her voice make me lively.
I like LOVE PiECE more but this album is worthwhile for waiting. |

lol, am i the only one that like that part at 2:55 of シャチハタ?
to me it's pretty obvious she's just being silly, and that it's not a real attempt to make it sound good at that part. since i love big band, i was really positively surprised when i heard this song for the first time. her voice isn't really fit for the song, though, as some others have said, but she's doing a good job anyways. and as i said, i don't really think she's trying to make it all too perfect, silly old Ai-chin.
as for the other songs, i really like all of them very much, especially 360° and Creamy & Spicy (gotta love when she sings "creamy spicy" ).
it's only (as many others have said) LOVE LETTER that doesn't leave a too good feeling afterwards. i wouldn't say it's too "boring" as some have said... although maybe a little. just somehow i feel like they could've recorded it better (the part at 2:40 irritates me), or mixed her voice better or something. i feel i've heard some parts of the melodies in other songs before too. oh, well, it's the shortest of the new songs, so whatever, haha. |
