Otsuka Ai
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).

Ame Iro Parasoru (雨色パラソル)

Lyrics:
Romaji:
sugoku hareta hi ni kasa wo motte ita
sugoku ooki na iro no nai mono datta
hirogeru ka soretomo tojita mama ni suru ka?

furidashita ame ni tossa ni hirogeta
amayadori no anata ni deatta no wa
mou itsu datta ka wasureta kurai

futari de naranda kono kyori mo
pittari kuttsuita koi no aji mo
ima de wa mou ame iro dake ni natta kedo
chotto shita wo muite mo ii kara
waratte mizutamari wo koeru no

sugoku engi no umai atashi ni furitsumoru munashisa
anata no tsuku uso wa uragiri yori mo kokoro wo utsu
mou wakatte ita kuse ni
mou nakitai kuse ni
mou ima de wa chanto senaka oshite agenakya

futari de kiita kono amaoto mo
choppiri nigai koi no aji mo
ima de wa mou ame iro shika mienai kedo
itsuka mata aetara waraeru you ni
ima wa ne mizutamari wo koeru no

ame ga yandara koko ni oiteku ne

futari de naranda kono kyori mo
pittari kuttsuita koi no aji mo
ima de wa mou ame iro dake ni natta kedo
chotto shita wo muite mo ii kara
waratte mizutamari wo koeru no
