 |
|
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
(hope no one has done a thread about her yet, but haven't found any. but if there is one, forgive my n00bness ^^*) |

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. |

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
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
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 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? |
