Uh... how can I say it? It's not really a disappointing album, but it's not her best one. I mean, I still prefer "LOVE PUNCH", but this one is ok, too. The singles as nice... The dvd is awful. =/ I guess that's it.
Love Cook [CD+DVD] Customer Reviews
Ai Otsuka
Love it. Otsuka Ai has a beautiful voice, sings beautiful melodies, sooths the soul,and makes you feel at peace.
Ohh, I love this album! it's my favorite Ai album. My favorites are "Smily", "U-boat", "Cherish", "Ramen 3 fun cooking", and "Planetarium"
I think that is a very good album from Ai. All new big hits on 1 cd! And some new hits like U-Boat, Tokyo Midnight and other. But the best is, the Cilps to B-Dama and Cherish. Continue Ai, we love it...
A very good album with very nice song like Cherish or Planetarium and other more funny Smily and Ramen fun cooking. The fan of the first time of Ai Otsuka may be surprised by this album because it is less funny. But the other will love.
I was anticipating for this album and i am very disappointed with her new songs. for me, her only good new song is only CHERISH ~ the rest of the songs are really bad. These songs are RAMEN 3 Fun Cooking, U Boat and the Birthday Song. They are so lame. I was so disappointed that this album is not as good as her 1st and 2nd album !
You will love Ai!!! Her songs are sweet, easy to sing, and snetimental! When I first heard her song Planetarium, I knwe she is the singer whom I would like to listen more to her songs. You will not regret buying this album!
Aichan is very talented and this album is quite alright. The single tracks are very nice especially smily and neko ni fuusen. This album is filled with strong beautiful songs like Cherish and Planetarium, and fun songs like SMILY and RAMEN 3-fun COOKING Despite Ais bubbly childish image (which we all love) from her previous two albums I feel she has grown up. Her music on this album is so dynamic that it will entertain all tastes, it truly is wonderful! Tokyo Midnight is a up tempo jazz type with a beautiful piano welcoming you into the song and then drums playing as she sings, a good song. Ai Otsuka revealed herself on Music Fighter (2005.12.16) that the album title "LOVE COOK" comes from her own birthday. Her birthday is September 9th, 9/9. In Japanese is read as kukku, which correspond to COOK.
I've come to know about Ai Otsuka through Hana Yori Dango's theme song Planetarium by her. Got this album for the Planetarium song. Can't believe that I've missed out on her from my japan albums collection. She's really a talented singer and song writer with all songs penned by her. Get this album coz you will not regret it! Each and every song is excellently written. My favourite track is obviously Planetarium on track 10. A must get!
