@ HilaryDuffFanboy
Haha. We're not arguing. 
But if you look at today's music industry, physical cd sales are declining. Legal downloads are on the rise so wouldn't that imply that people are okay to the idea of not owning the physical cd itself?
And considering that you can easily download songs illegally at the same quality which the physical cd provides, wouldn't that be tempting? Further more, you can easily get scans of the cd booklet on the net. So I wouldn't be surprise if there are fans who don't bother to get the cd as downloading it is simple, fast, easy and free. |

Well,I don't think that owing the original CD and just DL-ing from internet is the same.
However,some people may not care about having the irresistible originals,so it's truth that it may be because of that.
But I don't know,I don't care about sales,I mean....I just want to listen to Ai's music,lol.
If her single sold badly,I wouldn't care because I know that it's awesome...For me,sales don't tell anything about album/single. (especially if you look at Ayumi Hamasaki's NOTHING FROM NOTHING). |

| Though it is an inevitable trend in these several years,i do believe there still a number of people who buy CDs often . Take myself for instance,despite the fact that i download many songs from other forums once in a while,i still spend quite a few money on buying CDs.I became Ai chan`s fan about a year ago,at the beginning,the first album i bought is "Ai Am Best",after that i continue to buy her singles as well as albums ,now ,i have collect all the release that have been released in the form of Taiwan`s version. Collecting these CDs has a significant meaning for me,i guess it is true of others like Ai Chan. |

Aiyo brother~ cannot like that a~... But I can see that you not the type of fans I mentioned in my previous post
Otherwise it will same like, as long as I can watch all Ai-chan performances, I dun really care to share with other who has contributed for me.
If all people don't care and help even a bit in her sales (Especially at this moment where you can see how Ai-chan sales doing recently)............ These will happen:
- Ai-chan will never appear in Kouhaku Uta Gassen anymore (if anyone don't know what is Kouhaku Uta Gassen, go search in wikipedia) -sales truly comes into play here-
-There be no Love is born 6th anniversary.
-In Ai-chat, the thread "Kurage, Nagareboshi's Sales: Is Ai Done for?" will come true (Ai will really done for)....
--->      (Sorry i dunno how to express my feeling: It funny and sad)
-Next coming album will slower and you can not felt awesome anymore
-Ai-news section will leave untouch for 1/2 months since ai never attend any event anymore
-Ai-download section only fiil with 320kbps rips MP3, Bittorent and High DVD ISO download, not much performances.
It may seems over and funny, but there still some serious point to catch.
At the other hand, If anyone really can't buy then nevermind... as long as that person can at least try to buy even they fail due to some circumstances by then it can considered very very thoughful already.... since... they try~
Ja!!! I more wonder how LOVE LETTER MV will be~

a year has passed since she released her last album "LOVE PIECE". however, only three singles released during the period,there will be 7new songs in her lateset album ,i don`t konw whether i will listen the song that Ai sang in the "love is born 5th tour" in Taipei city.
that time she said that the song has never been heard by others fan around the globe ,you are the first audience of this bonus song .if the song is the very one of the 7new songs , i think i can recognize it immediately,thinking of this ,i can`t wait for the big day! |

LOL,Daniel,I was not thinking about that at all!
Of course I don't want her sales to decline!
I just said that even if one single does bad on the charts it doesn't potentially mean that the single is bad itself.
That's all.
Sorry I'm being offtopic again,I just had to reply.
I seriously can't wait for this album. |

0_0...rice1337...ok....>.>
anyways...those are podcasts, meaning it's not even the radio show. It's similar to what she says on the air (I'm assuming...) but they never put out the songs on podcasts.
Back to the topic...the album cover is tempting...but still not sure if I should get it or not. Hopefully those chinese stores have the japanese version of this...I don't dig having chinese words (taiwan/hk ver.) as my song names....
And out of topic...
Sales isn't everything...it's the song that matters. If the song isn't enjoyed by a number of people, then sales will drop...that's obvious enough >.>
If they don't want to buy it...then that's their choice. If she decides to stop for a while, then that is Avex's fault for over-using her like I was talking about before on the upcoming LOVE LETTER tour which I suggest to be something unnecessary, pointless, and another money making tactic. |

Back onto the covers... ai-chin seems to be breaking away from the usual creative approach of her albums, judging from the covers, it seems that LOVE LETTER is bringing out the more mature ai-chin, with a more "serious" approach to it. The face portrait style of shoot and the hairstyle also reminds me of renai shashin though.
I'd prefer the CD+DVD cover.(which makes it more sure that Im gonna buy the CD+DVD version) The CD only version one ai-chin looks a bit odd on first glance, maybe its the eyes I think. 
Though Im still hoping that additional first press bonuses will be announced.(since its still one month away from release) For an album like this, just a downloadable ring tone and extra PVs is a tad too shabby, imo. Something extra, maybe a "letter"-themed photobook, or a printed letter, with ai-chin's writing on it, would goes well with the special letter jacket that it comes in. Something of such sort. (im asking for too much? ) |

It's funny. LOVE LETTER is also a title of Lambsey's Album.
Is it really a coincidence ? |
