Otsuka Ai

Anyone here heard about Otsuka Ai?
She's really popular in Japan right now. I was in japan this summer and everywhere I went they played her newest single "Happy Days". I bought her Album "Love Punch" and is't pretty good and inlcudes some hit songs, my favourite is Sakuranbo .

This is her official hp: http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ai/index.html

I found a couple PVs of her online, at the bunko public MM tracker. At the hello online tracker there is a nice subtitled version of Momo no Hanabira. I think she has a very good singing voice.

aaaah,this years only new artists i'll remember.
i really liked sakuranbo and amaenbo,Happy days i found a bit less

I thought Sakuranbo was pretty good even though I'm not into that whole momusu genre. But I love Ai-chan cuz she's a cutie. :love_eyes:

I really like Sakuranbo, I guess the tune makes it really hard to get out of your head. :bonk:

another song by her that is pretty catchy and good is "pretty voice".

i was on otsuka ai fever last month.. loved her sweet, cute refreshing image.. somehow i didn't feel she was TOO cute, which i tend to feel lots of times.. she's nice.. her songs are great as well, makes me happy.. :mrgreen:

well..she looks ok but I have noticed that she looks really good on photos but looks kinda normal live..

There are torrents for a few more of her PVs at the Hello tracker right now, including Sakuranbo.

Question: I was watching the Sakuranbo PV ... and the drummer ... isn't he from the Blue Hearts? Maybe it's just the haircut :)

Yeah, it looks like him to me. That's cool.
The Blue Hearts were punk in a Ramones kind of way, so looking goofy was a plus :)

AHAHAHAHAHA, moogle mage theme song right :P :hehe: :hehe:
Although Otsuka Ai has nothing to do with Mo-musu or Hello Project. However, I do think she would kick ass on stage with Ayaya :hehe: :hehe:

Hmm let's see... I'm insanely addicted to this girl and I'm like this close to giving her Studio Oto's "Best New Artist" award :hehe: :hehe: Too bad "Love Punch" was selling for like $45 in Hawaii, so I'm going to have to purchase it from yesasia. Yea go Otsuka Ai!

Anyone know if she's in any dramas soon?

No idea if she's going to be in any dramas..
$45 for a CD is really a lot, I bought Love Punch for 2000 yen in japan :D

That's what I was thinking too because her promotional posters weren't too hot when I checked them out on Yahoo! Auctions Japan.
