Ai Otsuka

A full-throttle, one-part live performance with no encore and no wasted effort? There was a little skit where she wore a cherry costume, which she restarted twice, and finally sang on the third try. The chosen songs were really great; "Kingyo Hanabi," "Kumuri Uta," and "Planetarium" were especially wonderful, and the whole thing was truly the best. Everyone bowed and went backstage, and although an encore started, an announcement was played saying that the program for the day was over, and some people started to head home confused, feeling like there wouldn't be an encore. Just as I was about to reluctantly leave, some girls started singing "Happy Birthday," and I and those around me joined in, creating a big chorus. Just as we were about to give up, Ai-san came out. She finished with greetings and thanks, and the live ended. It was a truly wonderful live. That's why I can't stop going to Ai Otsuka's lives. I will continue to support her in the future.
