[Otsuka Ai]”Planetarium”, which exceeded 4.2 million views on “THE FIRST TAKE”, and “Sakuranbo Cocktail”, which became a hot topic for its adult arrangement, are now available for download

Ai Otsuka’s first-ever live recording of her one-take performance on “THE FIRST TAKE” has been released.

When the video was released in July of this year, “Planetarium,” in which she sang and played the grand piano, was viewed more than 4.2 million times and received numerous comments like the following.

“The piano playing is so tasteful, it draws the listener into the world.”
“Thank you, my youth.”
“It’s amazing that you can sing so dramatically. It really touches my heart.”
“A masterpiece that makes me cry whenever I hear it”

The following comments were also received about the “Sakuranbo Cocktail,” a jazz-based rearrangement that exudes an adult atmosphere.

“It’s sexy! The jazz feel is great!”
“At the time, I was longing for a sweet and sour love like cherries, and now I admire Otsuka Ai, who has aged beautifully. Thank you for appearing in the show.”
“I’ve never heard ‘One more time!’ sound so sexy before.”
“It’s my youth! The grown-up feel of cherries is lovely too!”

We hope you enjoy the audio of Otsuka Ai’s tense, one-take performance on her first “THE FIRST TAKE.”
