}} ''Viva Ai'' (stylized as ViVa A.I.) is the seventh studio album by Japanese R&B musician Ai, released on March 4, 2009. It featured three singles, the 2008 theme song for the film ''Departures'', "Okuribito," a collaboration single with Exile vocalist Atsushi called "So Special" and the preceding single, "You Are My Star." == Background and development == Six months after Ai released her sixth album, ''Don't Stop Ai'', she released a re-cut single from that album, a ballad called "Taisetsu na Mono." Both of the B-sides from the single, "Feel for You" and "Touch the Sky" appear on ''Viva Ai''. At the same time, she released a single with Anna Tsuchiya called "Crazy World," which was the first time Ai was a billed artist on a single since Suite Chic's "Uh Uh......" and Michico's "Gold Digga" in 2003. In July 2008, Ai was featured on an R&B mid-tempo song called "So Special," by Exile member Atsushi, released on Exile's compilation album ''Exile Entertainment Best''. The song was later re-arranged into an Ai version, and was released as one of the A-sides of her September 2009 single. The other A-side, "Okuribito," is the eponymous theme song for the Academy Award winning Yōjirō Takita film ''Departures''. After a gap of five months, Ai released "You Are My Star," an upbeat R&B track a month before the album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Viva Ai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
