^I don't think that's the preview of the calender. That's the standard bye bye promo pic they use for when a pic isn't available yet.

This is the 2010 calender:



Looks classy! I wonder if it's still B2 sized.. it looks square.

The pic is from Love is Born 6th anniversary. All those goods are up as well ---> http://shop.mu-mo.net/st/event/0909ai/



edit: to avoid making a fourth consecutive post 

Happy birthday Aichin!!!  09-09-09!!

I don't like them 

[SomethingWild]

What's the point of a B2 size calender if you're gonna use square pics?!  In that case, just make it a square calender, because this looks kinda stupid:

Looks like Ai is going for sexytimes in her new video:

aisu

[SomethingWild]

uch..    that doesn't suit her at all and the new version ruined the song  

All calender pics:


Pro:
- black and white looks classy
- not your typical idol calender haha

Con:
- Ai is the colorful type, I think a b/w calender might get boring fast
- Some of the shots are kinda weird

Not sure if it's worth the money.. I only really like 3 or 4 pages. The cover is probably the best shot.

Ai Otsuka does Olympic song for Fuji TV
Thu, December 17, 2009 (4:49am EST)
While L'Arc~en~Ciel provides the theme song for NHK's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, singer Ai Otsuka (27) will do the same for Fuji TV. Her "LUCKY☆STAR" will be used in the network's coverage of events such as figure skating and curling, which will feature medal-aspiring athletes Miki Ando (21) and Mari Motohashi (23), respectively.

"LUCKY☆STAR," a bright and uptempo tune, took about two and a half months to complete after Fuji TV requested the theme song from Otsuka in early September. It is expected to be released as a single in the spring.

The Winter Olympics are being held on February 12-28, 2010.

This is one of my favorite performances, it's so young and restless

2010 calendar announced!

Sorry AKB48, I'm getting this 

and so I did:



I'm a bit disappointed, it could have been so much better. 

- The black/white seems unnecessary. It would still be a classy calendar if it was in color.
- Ai looks depressed in almost every shot  it's
- The pics are grainy as hell... maybe they did it on purpose to add to the artsy theme, but I don't like it. You have to stand a couple meters away to make the pic look better 

The good thing is that the paper quality is insane. The thickest paper I've ever seen on such a calendar. 

So yeah, there are definitely some great shots in it, but they went too far in making it look classy. It's dark and somewhat depressing and it doesn't feel like 'Ai'.
