Momo no Hanabira's a cute PV, too. I also like Kuroge Wagyuu Joshio Tanyaki 680 Yen. The lyrics are funny when taken out of context, because they sound sexual. XD (Actually, they sound sexual even in context. ) I can't find a subbed video anywhere, though. It's even funnier when you listen to the song while watching the video. Oh wait, I found it! Here it is for anyone who hasn't seen it.
Thank you for the Veoh links. She has a lot of nice PVs, indeed. Although I ahve to admit that I'm one of those who hated CHU-LIPS, both song and PV But Planeterium... ...can't express how much I love it. And there's a friend of mine who actually only listens to J-Rock but one day she asked me for advice because she was searching for a song whose PV she once watched and she loved it to death but couldn't find it anywhere again. She explained it was a woman singing in a room full of pink things, etc. and she's riding on a bike together with somebody else...and I was immediately like 'that only can be Sakuranbo!! '
LOL thanks for sharing again Naomi! This is what happens when you just listen to the whole album but never watching the PVs.... damn... I couldn't stop laughing at the PV hahahaha. Just the way its shot and the way she sings it. That guy is lucky, but then again... he's all like WTF?! LOL. Damn, epic xD Best part is the beginning where she talks about the grill and then the part where she starts singing Daisukiiii dayo, lolol. I too, would be creeped out if I girl just said it that way haha. And then at the end ask, "what do you think of me?" >_<;; I love Otsuka's PVs. Better yet, the lyrics are all written by her herself, so yeah... lol. She's just an awesome lyricist and artist, period.
Btw, I also loved 'Kurage, Nagareboshi' and its PV but I can remember seeing some VERY low sales for it. Like, 25k? Ok, sometimes her voice in that song was a bit high pitched and such but it was a nice song after all. A real pity it wasn't a hit...
^ I would say Otsuka Ai's sales peak was mid-2005, where she had 2 #1 songs: "Planetarium" and "SMILY". And there was "Sakuranbo", the song which sold over 500,000 copies. Her sales went back up with "PEACH/HEART", Otsuka's last #1 song to this date. (mainly because this song was a tie-up with drama "Ike-man Paradise") But after that.....her sales have been decreasing steadily.....
Yeah, and PEACH was the tie-in of Hana Kimi, I think. It's sad seeing her drop so much. She still has a lot of potential..
Yea...she got the potential... but her song nw is like not tt catchy like last tie... I think maybe becoz of her growing... she is changing type of song she is singing... *understand my english?*
^ I understand what you want to say I agree, her style has totally changed; and that unfortunetely negatively..
^ I should have noticed when "CHU-LIP" was released.... Sorry to Otsuka Ai, but that song does not go well with her style.... I wonder when she will make another "Sakuranbo"-ish song...hmmm
^ I think she could easily increase her poularity again with another single like Sakuranbo But I guess she'll stick to that current genre now for a while...
^ Yea.. For e.g. her lastest song is " AI " and after hearing and saw and the pv My feeling is like I WAN THE OLD OTSUKA AI!!!

^ I haven't even bothered to listen to that song, yet or better: I didn't know she had a new song But after your comment it seems to me I'd better not listen to it..
"Bye bye" is more fun than "Ai". Besides, she has some pretty cool new videos out, in particular Do Positive and "360" So don't give up on Aichin just yet!
Haha, my mom told me to make her a CD of Japanese music after she heard Ai Otsuka's song, Planetarium :]
You have a great mom then^^ My mom tolerates me listening to that stuff but no way she would volunteerily listen to it herself.
^hehe same here. She doesn't complain when I play J-pop music. But it's never something she would "request".
I'm keeping all my J-pop to myself, I blast it when everybody's out of the house haha. New stuff arrived! The Love is Born T-shirt is still on it's way.
