Official Ai Otsuka discussion thread #5 - Ai am BEST! -

[Lee_Hamasaki]

ahahah this picture is amazing i love ai otsuka!! XD

[fanmail]

love that picture OMG. I reeeeeeeeeeally want this ALBUM!!!!!!!!

[Kikaru]

Dear Ai: please, no more midtempo stuff unless it's going to be a rock ballad. Hoshi no Tengo doesn't sound bad, but it's not good either. It's just...boring.

[JesA]

i really want LOVE PiECE so badly right now...i remember back before LOVE COOK was out, i was so excited....i stayed up til 5 in the morning til the download finished to listen to it...i listened to it for about 2 hours then went to bed. the only thing about this album though, the last few singles weren't her best...before LOVE COOK, we had Planetarium, SMILY, Cherish, etc....which were awesome! but now we have...Peach, Frienger, etc...

but who knows, the album could just be her best!

[namiie]

Hmm, IMO Ai's singles are a lot stronger than her albums. Her albums are pretty darn good (LOVE COOK in particular <3), but for some reason her singles make a much greater impact on me XD;

Ai is a very versatile, talented musician but two of her best categories are really upbeat, cheerful pop and thoughtful, sophisticated ballads. If you like Katorisenkou, you'll like "SMILY", "Frienger", "Sakuranbo", "CHU-LIP and "Happy Days".

She is also an AMAZING live performer--especially on piano. She's been playing piano since 4 and as a result not only writes all her own lyrics but all her own music as well, which is a rarity in J-pop since artists that do write, write only lyrics and music not so much. For ballads I recommend "Planetarium", "Renai Shashin", "Haneari Tamago", "Kingyo Hanabi", "Daisuki Dayo", "Friends". Some in-between songs like "Yumekui" and "Kimi ni Kaeru" are also awesome.

[ayu_fan929]

Those promo pics look great!

[ruixiong89]

Avex should have released them as 6 separate covers! Mwhaha, then we'll have to splurge on her album like crazy! Nah, if that happens, we might be marching with torches towards the Avex building to burn it down!

The promo pictures are great! I'm thinking they're going to be pictures inside the album booklet?
