From Channel Ai:

Love World
￥ 2,800 (~ $24.50 US)
128 pg
ISBN: 978-4-401-62265-8
Publisher: Shinko Music Entertainment
Release Date: September 25, 2007

This photobook is a collection of the photographs from Ai's B-PASS Magazine column, 大塚愛のLOVE WORLD 〜eye love pictures.〜. Taken and/or directed by Ai, these photos follow the theme of 'Woman' (and presumably 'Love,' as well, based on the title) through the red-light districts and poorer areas of Bangkok, Thailand.

Available for Pre-Order @
Amazon Japan (Ships Internationally)
Shinko Music (Pretty much Japan Only)

For those with access, if you can pre-order from Shinko Music, you will receive a set of 5 postcards, featuring some of the photos from the book.
Also, you will be entered into a random drawing for one of ten postcards autographed by Ai herself!

--------------------

Not sure about this one, it'll be interesting for sure, but it seems kinda depressing.. I like Aichin more for her happy happy stuff. When I listen to Ai's songs it cheers me up..

I'm so torn on whether to buy the new album or not. I have loved her singles, but there isn't really enough new material on it to convince me 100%

SomethingWild · « **Reply #344 on:** September 24, 2007, 07:45:19 AM »

If you can afford it, get the LE version with DVD.. it comes in a random color case

I'm thinking about buying the Love World book.. here are some more previews:

Am I the only one who prefers the new 'Love' song (White Choco) to the new Ai song (Pocketto)? Pocket is ok, but she has way better ballads imo.

xerony · « **Reply #349 on:** December 23, 2007, 09:44:35 PM »

Otsuka Ai made some nice songs. It's energetic music

I really liked her new album
Her show appearances where funny to see too.

wow ,she is so cute, i love her for many years.
and sometimes she is so beautiful and cool

coachie · « **Reply #351 on:** October 03, 2008, 04:07:00 PM »

Hey guys, I need some advice here ^^

I'm planning on getting her first three albums and usually I would go for the LE without second thought but as these are CD+DVD I was wondering are the keep cases the normal ones or the big ones (for 2 and more discs)? Because if they are the big ones (like with Ayu's albums) I think I'll stick with the normal dvd-less version of the albums.

Can someone clear that up for me?

Guchi_Jnr · « **Reply #352 on:** October 03, 2008, 08:31:50 PM »

^ Haven't bought any myself, but I'm pretty sure when I saw them the shops, they were in the bigger/deeper cases..

SomethingWild · « **Reply #353 on:** October 03, 2008, 10:54:31 PM »

Yeah +1. IIRC, Love Punch LE and Love Jam LE come in the bigger cases.

For Love Cook there are three versions, one with DVD, one with picturebook and one with photobook. The latter two are harder to get. I'm not sure if the DVD version has the thicker case.

If I may make a suggestion, the normal versions of the cds are good enough. The DVD content is also available on her Ai am Best CD+DVD.. well, not all of it, but the main stuff is. It's not that many anyway, just a couple PVs and/or an interview.

edit: now that I'm here, I'd like to say Love Punch is underrated!

coachie · « **Reply #354 on:** October 03, 2008, 11:42:52 PM »

^ yeah, I looked up the DVD contents on Wiki and it really seems not worth it!

Thanks guys ^^

edit: nevermind, I figured it out.

Sorry for the double post, but does anybody have an idea what this is:

http://www.hmv.co.jp/Product/detail.asp?site=mailmagart&SKU=3001023

Babelfish translation:

"Separate angular matte aggregate power special edition" ??!

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #357 on:** December 01, 2008, 12:28:07 PM »

It's like "Seperate Kadokawa(publishing company) all effort special"

really doesn't say what it is since I'm not familiar with that kind of book. But from looking at other "all effort special" books it's a "mook" or single issue magazine about her.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #358 on:** December 01, 2008, 02:24:54 PM »

ah I see, thanks for the info!

Thread bump for a recent Ai pic:

Still as beautiful as ever. Ai is still my all time #1 artist.. no idol group can ever compare to her imo.

Quick update what's she's been doing:

- love letter live house tour:
http://www.yesasia.com/global/otsuka-ai-love-letter-tour-2009-channel-keshite-ai-chan-neru-japan/1016472717-0-0-0-en/info.html

Another amazingdvd. I have her 8 concert dvds, and they're all great. Highlights of this one include the funk version of chu-lip, one x time works amazingly well live, print club member introduction, and overall great performance by everybody. The songs in the fisrt half are kidna similar, but they work really well together.

-preparation for the love is born 6th anniversary tour!
