I absolutely LOVE Ai Otsuka. I fell in love with her back when I was watching Hana Yori Dango {the Japanese live-action first season} because her song was the insert theme song for the series.

I then fell in love with her MORE when I found her adding her song "Cherish" to the LOVE FOR [NANA] tribute CD - on the cd she is representing "Trapnest". {If you know NANA you'll understand.}


Both Hana Yori Dango & NANA are my favourite manga/phenomenons & now so is Ai Otsuka.


My favourite songs from Ai Otsuka are...


Planetarium, Kuroge Wagyuu Joushio Tanyaki 680 Yen, Cherish, Yumekui, SMILY, & To Me {which is a cover originally by BOO BEE BENZ & was done for a drama she starred in called "TOKYO FRIENDS"}



Here are some youtube videos for you to check out. :D

Please don't hesitate to watch these clips! :D



What I love about her is that she can be serious, she can be an idiot, she's funny, she's not slutty or anything like that, she's young looking even though she's like 25 now haha! & she's an amazing songwriter. All her songs she composes & writes the lyrics for ON HER OWN.



No matter what way you look at it, she's one amazing girl.

whaat..she's 25? :OOOO .. :shock:

I never knew that XD ;; She seems so much younger!

and I haven't seen any of her music vids aside from Planetarium..so I must check the rest out as well~ *___* a bit later..


btw my personal favorites of the ones I heard are Momo no Hanabira & Kingyo Hanabi >w< ♥

Oh I don't like those songs that much! :D

yeah, they're not the too popular songs from her I know but I've come to like those two the best. X) <3


she released a new single yesterday~, have you heard it yet? =o *hasn't*
it's called ChuLip~, and omgshe looks so adorable on the cover T^T♥♥♥♥ such cutie~!!!!!

I have to be honest, I hate Chulip! I can't wait for the next record... D: I hope it's something completely different.


The video clip for Chulip also weirded me out. So many sexual inuendos!! XD

She is so cute! I've only heard on song, Sakuranbo, and I love the hyperactive cuteness of her voice. xDD I also love the analogy of the connected cherries being like a love/friendship.

Hahaha~
I used to like her so much a few years ago~
Now, I'm not as updated with her xD

I've yet to hear/see Chulip, but sexual innuendos? Oh my! *gets curious* XDD
