For me the first song I heard by Ai Otsuka was the ever popular, “Sakuranbo”, I saw it in a fellow students film based on her foreign exchange trip to Japan, I soon looked up the lyrics and artist and was buying Ai Otsukas music and looking for as many songs as I could. Ai has a unique voice, and I love how she does such fun catchy pop songs, like Sakuranbo, Smily, PonPon, and Chu-Lip, but also maintains serious songs like Momo No Hanabira, Daisuki da Yo, and her many others!! She is just so amazingly talented..! I hope I can meet her one day, until then it’s just a dream~ Although I wonder where in Japan if even there, she’ll be around July…! X3
