This is completely random, but I ran into this photo of Ai Otsuka yesterday. At first I just thought “ooh, a nice Ai picture I haven’t seen before”. Then I looked at her sweater. It looks like it says “Gustavus Adolphus”, which is the Latin name of a Swedish king (Gustav II Adolf the Great). He was the founder of the Swedish Empire.

Ai cut her hair again! Her latest song KURAGE, nagareboshi (クラゲ、流れ星) is a nice ballad. The title means something like “jellyfish, shooting star”, so perhaps it has some connection to Kingyo hanabi (goldfish fireworks)?

An unusually dark PV for being by Ai-chan.

Another Ai Otsuka PV in August. If you’re looking forward to Planetarium, I’m sorry to say that it’s not coming. As much as I love both the song and PV, it has certain negative associations for me, which I may write about some day (or maybe not).

I just love Ai Otsuka. How much I listen to her music comes and goes in waves. I love both her happy-happy songs and her ballads and not-so-happy songs. The following PVs will be of the latter category.

There are more Ai videos coming, every other day or so.

Rocket Sneaker (ロケットスニーカー) is Ai-chan’s latest single. I thought I’d post the PV (TV rip). It’s a pretty nice song although it doesn’t pop quite like her other songs. It’s easy on the ears though. I’ve listened to this song several times at work. The PV is a little slow perhaps, but interesting all the same. It’s one of those “frozen in time” PVs like ELT’s fundamental love or Kaela Kimura’s Rirura Riruha.

Enjoy the video. Next we’re back to Ayu PVs (perhaps with another BoA appearance).

Here’s Ai Otsuka’s heart PV sized for PSP (but you can still play it on your PC).

This PV is also from the LOVE PiECE DVD.

I’ve been meaning to post Ai Otsuka’s kumuriuta (クムリウタ) video for the PSP for a long time. Although it’s not one of Ai’s happy-happy songs, I really like this PV. It’s from the DVD that comes with LOVE PiECE.

I’m preparing more videos for this site. I currently have more Ai Otsuka, Kaela Kimura and a ton of Ayu PVs in the pipeline. Are there any other artists you’d like PVs from? The ones I have the most DVDs from, other than the ones previously mentioned, are BoA, HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, YUI and Jolin Tsai. Perhaps you have a favourite live clip of Ayu, Ai Otsuka, BoA, ELT, DAI or Jolin that you want to have on your PSP? Let me know.
