As a qualified kindergarten teacher, it's a little surprise that Osaka-born singer and songwriter Ai Otsuka was able to make a connection with young Japanese music fans so quickly into her career. But while her thin, high-pitched vocals and karaoke-friendly bubblegum pop capture a young teenage audience, Otsuka's cute appeal, centered around her earthy fashion sense, upbeat lyrics, and sense of humor, have also struck a chord with older teens and working women.
年輕的日本音樂迷們很難把出生在大阪的歌手和作曲家大塚愛與一位合格的幼兒園老師聯系在一起。然而她細高的嗓音和卡拉OK中受歡迎的泡泡糖流行舞曲不僅俘獲了眾多年輕的觀眾,而且她的可愛外表、內心樸素的時尚感、充滿歡樂的歌詞和幽默感同時又吸引了一些成年人和職業女性。
Debuting in 2003 and often misleadingly viewed as the heir to Ayumi Hamasaki's throne as the queen of Japanese pop. Otsuka has written her own songs from the beginning of her career, plays piano and guitar, and has homier edge compared to most J-pop idols. Nonetheless, operating in a pop climate that does not recognize the meaning of \"overexposure,\" Otsuka has been able to extend her reach to females among age 16-30 by hosting a radio show on the Internet and terrestrial station JOQR, having her songs appear in television commercials, and by taking on dramatic acting roles.
2003年剛出道的時候,她總是被人稱為日本流行樂天后濱崎步第二。大塚愛從一開始就自己給自己寫歌,彈鋼琴、吉他,被喻為最有親和力的日本流行音樂偶像。盡管如此,在演藝圈里闖蕩,還沒有意識到“過度曝光”的真正含義時,大塚愛已經通過在網絡上的視頻和JOQR電臺,歌曲頻頻在電視上曝光,還演了幾個角色,這一切使她在16~30歲的女性中大受歡迎。
Having begun classical piano lessons at the age of four, Otsuka was already writing her own songs by the time she was 15, sending a self-produced demo tape soon after to Japan's largest independent record label, Avex, the label that is home to other female J-pop icons Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro.
大塚愛4歲的時候開始學習古典鋼琴,15歲的時候已經給自己寫歌了。然后寄了一張自創的樣帶給日本最大的獨立唱片品牌——艾回音樂——這是日本其他女性流行音樂巨頭濱崎步和安室奈美惠簽約的公司。
Sakuranbo and other songs appeared on her debut album. By that time Sakuranbo had already spent several months on the Oricon Weekly singles chart. The song peaked at number five, selling 700,000 copies and going on to spend more than 18 months on the charts. Love Punch , released in March 2004. Love Punch meanwhile peaked at number three in the Oricon album charts.
第一張專輯中收錄了Sakuranbo和其他歌曲。那時Sakuranbo 已經在Oricon單曲周榜上上榜幾個月了,一直在前5名,發行了70萬張而且一直打榜18個月之久。Love Punch在2004年3月發行。這張專輯在Oricon榜上一直占據前3的位置。
