Listening to quite a few Ai tracks today:
Sakuranbo Cherish Planetarium Yumekui Man...I miss this girl! |
I miss her too!!
:cry Anxiously awaiting the day she makes a comeback.. |
I miss her to tbqh.
|
I miss her too much :weep
|
Yeah, where is she??? It has been over a year already, yet no major moves...
|
is she gonna come back? been sooooo long :(
|
She's still on hiatus? :< I love her ballads. I wish she released something soon~ *_*
|
maybe she is comfortable with her family and she doesn't want to make a comeback yet
|
^That. Also maybe she doesn't feel all that motivated to come back since her BEST in 2009 didn't make the 100k mark and her recent singles didn't do good either.
|
Whatever she may be up to recently, i hope she's fine and happy with it. All we can do is to wait (sigh). But damn its been so long. kkkk i found myself listening to her Love Jam/Love Punch albums recently.
|
Cut to her and hikki having a drink in a cafe somewhere in Japan, laughing it up
|
I miss her too. and she hasn't been updating her twitter anymore. :(
|
Did anyone ever watch Tokyo Friends? I started rewatching it recently and it made me sooooo nostalgic for like, 2004-2006 Ai. :(
|
^Yees!!!I was addict to that drama xD That era was her best....

I love "To me" and "Friends (sabakan ver.) フレンズ -サバカン ver.-
(the chat about the drama made me think of those songs) |
Out of all the Sabakan material, I think 'Kimi to iu hana' is my favorite. Hurricane is a close second. :yes
I ordered the Tokyo Friends boxset with the series/movie/t-shirt/whatever when it came out, and then got my paws on the soundtrack...when I was moving, don't you know I lost the 2nd disc for the series. ;____; I had to order another copy from CDJapan to replace the missing one...but everything's back to normal now~ /csb |
Oh Ai...I hope you're enjoying motherhood. If not...get your ass into the studio and record a new single! Hell...do that even if you ARE enjoying it. lol
|
Ahh I love tokyo friends does anyone know where I can watch it?

I can't vouch for the quality of the subtitles because I watch it raw on my DVDs, but it seems like these videos still work. |
Ai will release new illustration book titled ネコがスキになったキライなネコ (neko ga suki ni natta kirai na neko) on 3.30!
Also, there will be a new song ごめんね。(gomen ne.) released exclusively for people who buy the book. http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ai/news/120224.html |

That cover is from the first book she released on 29.3.2010, where she made 'Neko ni fuusen' into a book. Though, incidentally, the book is being rereleased on March 30th as an Android app. It doesn't look like there's any other info available on her second book yet (aside from the release date, price, the fact that it's 36 color pages, etc).
|
It's...something I suppose. lol

^^It's cute!
|
awwww!so cute
|
Hopefully someone can upload the track when it gets released.
|
She's going to release a new song? Good~ :yes It's been forever since her last release. :<
|
Oh and I just noticed, another illustration book? Hm...is that what she's trying to do now...?
|
大塚 愛 Official twitter...I think it's for promoting her book!
|
The bonus song is delayed until april 27th
|
^That sucks, I was looking forward to hearing it.
|
Ai's official website has changed its design!!!new photo of her is added~
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ai/index.html *O* |
^She looked more mature now :heart I almost can't see the trace of her Sakuranbo and SMILY days :heart I can't wait to hear from her again

O_O
she looks...emm..i don't know..little weird? |
Hew brows kinda went thinner I guess and the photo is in b/w so it makes her T area looked weird
|
I don't like her new look!@@! hope she'll release new music soon!
|
Wow grown woman she is :)
cant believe its been 4 years since her last studio album and 2 years since a single.. |
Surely that looks different. She's no same Ai-chin that I've been too familiar with when I first came to the J-pop world - she surely has grown mature now. The feeling that I have some artists that may be following the steps of Ai Otsuka...but I'm not exactly sure...
...but I do surely miss her. I want some new songs soon... Now the fact that she's going to actually turn 30 this September... |
wooww she looks pretty different!
|
She doesn't look that different...
|
She looks alright and not that different.
|
She looks the same, just aging lol.
not a big fan of her hairstyle, but she looks gorgeous otherwise ♥ |
Her voice sounds a little bit different, more mature, I like it :) But the song is a bit meh. |
Very much a classic Ai song; it's really nice! And I don't get people saying she looks different, and she doesn't sound too different either. It's only been a few years xD

|
She looks just like Nocchi! This is the first time I've found her attractive. Except I like her hair more than Nocchi's.
|
Oh well, that sucks lol Too bad you didn't get to listen to it, but I'm sure it'll pop around from somewhere.
|
i can't hear the song :C
|
The video is not private. What are you all talking about? 0.o
Plus, you can also find and download it HQ here. |
Just asking, but are there any pics of Ai's baby or any Ai pics taken after her childbirth, except for the main pic at her homepage?
The song is really nice, it's good to have her back, hope for more Ai music soon, a lullaby would be awesome :3 |
Haven't heard her voice for a long time, so right now my judgement is quite subjective. Anything from her sounds good :P. I like Gomen ne more than Hikari :D.
|
HOW I MISSED HER!!!!! <3 suddenly feels like listening to all her songs again XD
|
She definitely sounds more mature..and its really nice!!! miss Ai so much!! Though the ballad isnt that mainstream but its quite unique.
|
I'm so glad that she's back! love the new song. hoping for a comeback album soon!
|
I'm in love with this song「ごめんね。」:heart
on repeat♪ Quote:
|
Gomen ne is very beautiful. I really love it. :)
|
I missed Ai!!!!! Her voice is still just as distinctive!!!!!
|
Amazing, i love this song, her voice, i'm glad she is back with a new song

Otsuka Ai to hold one-man live to celebrate 9th anniversary & 30th birthday
http://static.tokyohive.com/wp-conte...ai-600x399.jpg Otsuka Ai has announced that she will be holding a one-man live called ‘Otsuka Ai LOVE IS BORN ~9th Anniversary 2012~‘ in September. It’s been about 2 years since Otsuka last held a live concert. At this time, she has announced 3 performances for September 9th at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall, the 16th at Kobe International House, and the 29th at Nagoya Congress Center Century Hall. Otsuka made her debut on September 10th 2003, and she will be turning 30-years-old on the 9th. These concerts will be held to celebrate both her 9th year anniversary and birthday. The singer commented, “It’s been decided that I’ll be holding ‘LOVE IS BORN ~9th Anniversay 2012~’! It’s been awhile since I held a live. Both me and everyone, how are our physical strengths? Everyone gather!” Tickets will be available for pre-order through Otsuka’s mobile site ‘LOVE9CUBE‘ and ‘LOVE9CUBE PREMIUM‘. Fans will be able to pre-order if they join ‘LOVE9CUBE PREMIUM’ before May 20th. http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/05/ots...30th-birthday/ |
Finally she made a comeback performance
|
Finally! OMG I can't wait for her performance :heart I miss her so much
|
nice !!! Now, please Ai, can you release a physical single or album ??? :)
|
That's exciting! Now she needs to release an upbeat single of some sort!
|

I didn't know where else to ask this, but I'm wondering if anybody here could give me recommended songs for someone new to Ai (me lol).
She seems like an interesting singer and I'd like to listen songs that would captivate me (like planetarium). I listened to gomen ne but I'm not so fond of it (although it got me interested in her). |
Ballads: Friends, Kyngio Hanabi, Planetarium, Daisuki da yo, Kurage Nagareboshii, Pocket
Pop: Peach, Sakuranbo, LUCKY STAR |
it's so nice to hear that ai is back! hopefully sometime in the near future we'll get a new single or album. but it's still great news to hear about her performing again. :)

AI OTSUKA VOCAL RANGE!! :)
|
TIME FOR SOME KINGYO HANABI PEOPLE!!!!!!!!
gosh i spent the night listening to her ballads...i miss her so much T.T she has some of the BEST BALLADS ever |
Kingyo Hanabi still my fav song from her...
|
Can anyone give me a link to download LOVE LETTER?
|
I hope she make a comeback with a brand new full length album soon
|
Kyngio Hanabi is my favourite song from her too!!!
My 2nd favourite is Planetarium |
I was on an Ai medley last night
Kingyo Hanabi ~ Planeterium ~ Kumuriuta ~ tears ~ Natsu Sora ~ Neko ni Fuusen ~ Amaenbo ~ Ai ~ Kurage, Nagareboshi ~ Pocket ~ daisuki da yo. all so beautiful to hear them now in 2012 |
I love that performance of kingyo hanabi!
@jean-baptiste: can you utilize torrents? |
I haven't listened to Ai in so long. Then I listened to 5:09a.m. randomly and fell back in love with her.
|
^^Love that track! Wish it were longer.
|
One of my favourites is "Friends", so amazing and with beautiful lyrics
|
^Me too! I prefer the sabakan version though!
|

Gosh I almost completely forgot about Ai...She had some really beautiful ballads. Actually, I think her & Ayu had the best J-pop ballads of all time :yes. Unfortunately the last song I enjoyed from Ai was Kurage, Nagareboshi :(...I miss her, but I feel like it would be difficult for her to make music that would top the amazing ballads of the past.
|
omg she actually performed a few hours ago today O__O
