Recently started listening to her album... was at cck on Sunday then borrowed Drew's iPod... got this OtsukaAi song titled "pretty voice"... quite addicted to it, then kept listening only to that song... so decided to dig for her other songs... besides sakuranbo and peach which i already knew.
Introducing... ... ... LOVE PUNCH!!!
Its her 1st album... here's the track list
1. Pretty Voice
2. 桃ノ花ビラ (Peach Flower Petals)
3. さくらんぼ (Sakuranbo; Cherries)
4. GIRLY
5. 雨の中のメロディー (Melody In The Rain)
6. しゃぼん玉 (Soap Bubbles)
7. 石川大阪友好条約 (Ishikawa Osaka Friendship Treaty)
8. 片想いダイヤル (A Crush Dialing)
9. ハニー (Honey)
10. 甘えんぼ (Spoiled Child)
11. Always Together
Tracks 1, 3, 4, 7, 8 are the HIGH songs lol ... the rest wer just some soft blues/ sentimentals i guess. Sakuranbo... the best jpop song of course!!! Then thers this song, Spoiled child... its nice too... suprisingly, its 1 of the slow songs that i'd actually listen! Usually like high and fast/beat songs... budden, its just nice lei... 1st time listen to this song didnt notice the english translation for the song name but realised it giv the 'pampered, sayang'd' feeling...
