Wow, the Names are really sweet, but a bit catchy too  . I'm really tight and thrilled how looks the Covers. I think "Kurage, Nagareboshi" is a Up-tempo Song, "H2o" a crazy Up-Beat Song like "Happy Days" or "Pon Pon" and "Ame no Tsubu ~Love Music~" a beutiful, mellow Ballad  . I think they're 2 Up-Beat Songs, because on "Roketto Suniikaa"-Singe are 2 Ballads, "Sora to Kujira" and "One X Time". But I observe, that the name's of her Songs change, I couldn't explain it, but it is so... They're more punctuation marks and more special characters in the Songnames. And I wonder about the new Titles of the Songs....
Does mean"One X Time" something like >>One More Time<<?
The new Single-Name... "Jellyfish, Shooting Star/Comet". It's a little bit... inept  .... But I think that is a part of the wonderfull World of Ai Otsuka.
Wait and See  ! |

Yes yes yes!!! So happy to see this
But what I hate is that they have 4 different jacket covers  Avex trying to eat up ai-chin fans again
But hey, this makes us the ones that got the first press more rare xDD Don't know how to put this into words but I like this first press...ai-chin's autograph...*drooling* |

| Yay! I'm happy. Cute titles, they're so Ai. But avex is trying to milk us fans, as always xD I'm really interested in 雨の粒、ワルツ 〜LOVE MUSiC〜 though. Just the word waltz makes me excited |

Thanks for the infos ! I'll try to buy the limited edition
I'd like that "Kurage, Nagareboshi" is a song like Kingyo Hanabi |

Me too. Mainly because Kingyo Hanabi is such a beautiful song--definitely one of Ai's best. 
Additionally, there appears to be a water theme to this single: jellyfish, 'H2O,' raindrops... 
I don't think the A-side title is too strange. If you think about it, a jellyfish has a shape similar to a shooting star or a comet.
  
[The quartet of shooting star images comes from an interesting NASA simulation.]
Also, we usually illuminate jellyfish with artificial light in order to see the transparent/translucent creatures in the dark waters. In this way they become even more visually similar to comets blazing through the night sky.
This immediately makes me think of Rocket Sneaker/One x Time's much-embraced B-side, Sora to Kujira, in which Ai likens a passing blimp to a whale swimming through the sky. |

ooh, a new single! I can't wait, but 4 covers! If you thinks about the name, It might not even feature ai on the cover! 
I think クラゲ、流れ星 will be quirky, weither it's a ballad or fun song. I'm not super exited about H2O tho... It reminds me of drop.  |

T_T I am so happy. Even though the month of September is going to kill me and my boyfriend with all the music releases, no money~
I really hope this single does better than Rocket Sneaker, somehow. It just has to be different!! Very different! Ayu's 10th anniversary single was a pretty drastic change for a single, so I hope Ai's 5th anniversary single will be too~
Judging by the title it probably sounds like another typical Ai song though ~_~ Not that I'm complaining, I'll still most likely enjoy it, but I so wish she releases something like Cherish for a single~ |

^ Another Cherish would be awesome. Personally, I'm hoping for a ballad, but with interesting arrangement, like Kingyo Hanabi and Planetarium.
@zyzzyva
Awesome pictures. That's really cool you thought of that, I'm too uncreative to make that connection  |

For something special like a 5th anniversary I would prefer getting the original Japanese edition though...it's much more worth it
I would buy the overseas edition for the regular ones 
Anyways, just a quick survey, for people who are going to buy the anniversary edition (which's like..everyone) Which site are you going to buy it from? I'm thinking about HMV or YA but HMV only showed 2 editions and on the other hand YA had nothing up yet. I really like CDJapan but you know..the shipping for both anniversary editions by just regular air mail would be equal to HMV's EMS ...and for YA it's probably close to free shipping.. |

Why you all wait for an another Ballad . Ok, it's yout Opinion, but I think they was in the last Discography of Ai-chin enough Ballads - The first Single after her 4th Album "Love PiECE" was a Single, the Single after "Pocket" was (I mean "One X Time"  ) a Ballad, The B-Side on the Single too. Now I hope for an excititing fast Single, because I think "Roketto Suniikaa" was a Middle-Tempo Song!
I observed, that on Ai's Singles since the Time after "Love PiECE" are always 3 Bonus Tracks. So much new Ai-Stuff ! |

Yay, New single!! The release day is sooner than I thought. I hope it's a ballad song too. But the title "Kurage, Nagareboshi" makes me think it will be like Sora to Kujira , perhaps it will be a lovely song . Can't wait to listen and watch the new PV  |
