I think the word "Cross" in this context is not related with the Cross in religion.  I think the "Cross" refer to "Cross" that related to streets, or something like that.

| Guys, isn't "No Cross, No Crown" a saying? I means, that you have to be diligent if you want to accomplish something . |

I just watched the PV, very enjoyable  I'm so happy that Ai-chin is continuing with Love-chan as this allows her to keep a cutesy style forever

Actually I would say "no cross no crown" is definitely borrowed from a christian context ( just try searching that phrase in google ). It's obviously something that Ai (or the PV director?) had heard before - though I think it is doubtful they would be thinking of it in a Christian context. They are probably thinking more along the lines of what mangomalte said, without the trials and suffering of hard work you won't achieve glory. |

Yeah...I think it was used just as a saying...without the christian context..
"No Cross, No Crown" is just an expression....at least in spanish it is ...doesn't imply any religious beliefs. |

^ ooooh, HQ version! thanks! 
edit: and whatever you say, there IS a christian message behind No Cross, No Crown, even if it isn't always used that way anymore. |

These are keychains, every one got a album song as the theme. But there is a writing mistake: It's "Red Eye", not "Red Eyef"  . |

For the ribbon, I like 「ＭＡＧＩＣ」; and for the LOVEちゃん, I like 「ＬＯＶＥのテーマ」. So all pink.
What girly I am. |

Once, no more, that's why so few things sell well nowadays, such as $30+ CDs.  |

Not sure if this was mentioned yet or not, but the Taiwan Version of the mini-album is coming out on Nov 20th! 2 days after the Japan version release.
It only comes in the CD+DVD version, so there's no CD only version. |
