Yeah ahaha
No Iam talkin about the cuteness, sure.
That rabbit is just <3
But, I dont know, I didnt felt so excited like Planetarium or KH (even Renai Shashin).

POCKET is actually good. LOVE Piece wasn't that strong of an album overall, including the single tracks. Is she experimenting with a different vocal style or something, because for some reason it sounds kind of pitched and weird to me.

But POCKET is a pretty good song, reminds me a mixture between friends and LOVE Music, and the music video is pretty.

[sora2522]

the full pv's out!

I liked the PV...got me in the mood for winter when I was watching it ~~

The song was very pretty.

[namiie]

I think Pocket would be really stellar as a piano-version live, but right now it sounds like a pretty generic ballad....the PV is beautiful, though! I really appreciate the simplicity of the snowfall and how her red coat stands out. She reminds me of BoA a bit when she's in that turtleneck sweater

[TITANIC]

is it love piece do well at chart??

is it just me, or does it look like she's...bleeding into the snow? ._.; WHAT IS THAT THAT'S COMING OUT OF HER HAND?!

[Mirai Noah]

Isn't that... a string?

Anyway. I watched the PV for two times in a row. I can't remember the last PV that got such treatment. Yeah, so, other winter ballads are going to have to TRY HARD if they want to beat Pocket. Such an amazing song with a really nice PV. I really-really love what Ai Otsuka has done with this song.

[sora2522]

i was thinking that, too...but i looked away for a second and then i see this random stuff coming out of her hand ._.;


yea, i like it (i see a small alice in wonderland reference XD)

[bluegie]

the red string concept is from ancient chinese folk: the god of love (named "moon old" in chinese) matched people with red strings. So no matter what you will be attached to your true lover.

I wanna read the translation of the lyrics now.. I wanna know if Ai-chan is putting this concept in her lyrics..

PS: Actually the "moon old" is called "The old man under the moon" in English...

[criminal]

Plus the fact that Ai was in a train station and later in a train, coupled with the fact that track number 2 is called TICKET is very interesting. :O

[bluegie]

yeah when i saw ai-chan watching around the train station, somehow "tic-kit-o" ran on my head .

[Aga-chan]

Here are the romaji. ^^

POKETTO

Anata no POKKE ni o-jama shite
Futari wo tsunagu te no himitsu wo
Dare ni mo shirarenai you ni
Sotto ai wo fukamete kita

Kawaru koto shiranai
Atashi no KIMOCHI wa
Kono saki nannen tatta to shite mo
Anata wo itoshiku omotte
Sotto ai wo fukameru wa

Anata no omoni to ka ja nakute
Areyasui anata no te wo
Atatamete ageyou
Itsumo Soba ni iru kara

Anata no POKKE ni o-jama shite
Se no takai anata no
NANAMEgao Miageru to
Massugu mae wo mite
Tama ni terete warau

Anata no futan to ka ja nakute
Korekara atarashiku mata
Futari de aruite ikou
Futari de SUTEKI ni narou

Sekai de ichiban SUKI de
Makeru ki ga shinai yo
Kono POKKE no naka
Itsumo Soba ni iru kara
Itsumo Soba ni iru kara

I could TRY to translate it, but I'm not good at it...
