Otsuka Ai (大塚愛)

official website: http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ai/

Although her first single "Momo no Hanabira" (桃ノ花ビラ) was released in September of 2003, it wasn't until her 2nd single Sakuranbo (さくらんぼ) that she became a sensation. As of 2006, she has released a total of 3 albums as well as numerous singles. She also starred in in the drama "Tokyo Friends."

At the moment of this writing, she is one of my favorite artists; mainly due to a unique combination of her lyrics, song composition, and personality. My personal favorites among her compositions are Haneari Tamago (羽ありたまご), Amaenbo (甘えんぼ) and Friends (フレンズ).

found on the following albums: LOVE PUNCH

Brief Comments:
reminds me a lot of "neko ni fuusen" but a much sadder tone to it I think. it seems to convey less of a story to it and more raw feeling and thought.

Lyrics:
Romaji:
Ame naka no merodii
Ame naka no merodii

shinpai shite hoshikute maigo ni nattan janai
kaeru basho ga nakatta no

mayonaka to tabako
mizutamari no dansu

yokome ni utsuru wasuremono no sukoppu
maru de, atashi, sute neko mitai...

sorosoro samuku natte kita
yubisaki kajiri kokyuu ni awaseta jika danbou

Ame naka no merodii
Ame naka no merodii

kantan ni namida wa misenai
hontou no namida wa misenai
doushitatte ikinuite misenakya

Ame naka no merodii

Ame naka no merodii
