I watched Ai Otsuka’s LOVE COOK “Love 99″ 2006 tour DVD yesterday. I’d bought the DVD some time ago, but I hadn’t watched it yet. I’m a bit particular about watching new concert DVDs. I want minimal distraction and I need to be in the right mood in order to appreciate the concert to the max

You can tell that Ai is doing well just by looking at how much bigger the arena is for this concert comparing to her last one. I haven’t listened to her last album as much as her first two, but watching this concert makes me fall in love with her all over again <3

I love it when she plays the piano in her concerts. I wish she’d play more songs on the piano, but then I guess the concert would be too slow or something. If she was ever going to release a piano only album I’d be the first to buy it. The performance of Ramen sambun cooking was brilliant! I laughed so much. At the end she performed Frienger, which was also very funny. I’ve heard people complain about this song. This was the first time I heard it and I thought it was good.

I wish Ai would release a PV compilation DVD. I want one so much.
