Along with Ayumi Hamasaki and Kumi Koda, he is the representative singer of Ai Hui Music.

The song "Cherry" (さくらんぼ) once stayed on the charts for 82 weeks, making it popular. Although her famous song is called Cherry, Otsuka Ai once said on the show that she cannot eat cherries.

Otsuka Ai started learning classical piano at the age of 4, started composing lyrics and music at the age of 15, and spent eight years of voice training at her own expense. A staff member said: "Her room is like a high school boy playing in a rock band, filled with all kinds of equipment."

He completed his debut song "Peach Blossom Petals" at the age of 17, and had composed more than 60 songs before his debut. In July 2004, with the song "Cherry", he became the first singer in Japan's history whose "original ringtone for mobile phone calls" was downloaded more than 1 million times. He was invited to perform at school festivals of many colleges and universities, and was awarded the 2004 Japan Campus Award. Concert queen. In addition, Otsuka Ai, who has a kindergarten teacher's license, will include a picture book of the comic rabbit "LOVE" created by herself on each CD.

[Edit this paragraph] Love experience

Before debut

When I was a student, I formed Himawari with my friends, and "Cherry" was a work created during that period.

When I sent my resume to the record company before my debut, I had to write it with a red pen because the blue pen ran out of water. It was also because of this that my boss saw Ai’s resume and paid special attention to Ai. "Taken from Music Station".

The title of the demo tape at that time was "LOVE PUNCH", but the demo tape stayed in the company for a month until the staff heard about it and took action.

The next day I went to Osaka to meet with me. A staff member who talked to Otsuka said, "I have never seen a song with such a high level of completion."
