Week 29 Day 6 - Ai Otsuka

So here's the next post, featuring the artiste of Otsuka Ai, giving you these songs:-



Song: さくらんぼ by 大塚 愛
Sakuranbo (Cherry) by Ai Otsuka


Another one of those songs I heard while I was in Japan. I started noticing that it was played pretty often around any sort of festival or events, and for good reason too, seeing that the song is lively and all. Ahh, the good memories of the song.
This song is also Ai Otsuka's breakthrough song, having sold over 500,000 singles since it was released. It was also used as the ED to the j-variety show, Mecha-Mecha Iketeru! (めちゃ²イケてるッ!)
Lyrics can be found here. Along with translations from another site.

In any case, additional videos:-


[Nice MAD featuring K-On!. Very nicely made!]



Anyways, below are additional songs:-



Song: Smily by 大塚愛
Smily by Ai Otsuka


[MAD with Higurashi]

Another song:-



Song: プラネタリウム by 大塚愛
Planetarium by Ai Otsuka
Song was used as the OST to Hana Yori Dango j-drama. Should be the same one mentioned in Utada Hikaru's post.


[PV Version but not-full]



Lyrics to both songs can be found here.

Bonus material:


[Be prepared to be Mou Ikkai-ed!]

I'm catching up with the week! One more post to follow soon.

Note: I love that final bonus material... it's too addictive. Well, the song in general is addictive, but still
