Ai Otsuka - 愛 Am Best
Review by Steven Schwartz
愛 Am Best is a compilation album by the Japanese singer-songwriter Ai Otsuka. Released in 2016, it features some of the most iconic songs from her career, spanning over a decade. The album showcases Ai's unique style, which blends pop, rock, and electronic music with heartfelt lyrics that often address themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Kingyo Hanabi," which sets the tone for what's to come. From there, listeners are treated to a mix of ballads and uptempo tracks, such as "Sakuranbo," "Planetarium," and "Ren'ai Shashin." The album also includes some previously unreleased songs, such as "Hug" and "Tada, Aitakute."
One of the highlights of the album is Ai's powerful vocals, which are both sweet and strong. Her voice perfectly conveys the emotions of the songs, whether it's the bittersweet nostalgia of "Cherish" or the hopeful optimism of "Love Music."

でも、ドラセナは有線でかかってたのが、2018年冬あたりかな？
