So catchy ! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is the latest funny Ai's single I really enjoyed. After ''Frienger'' I liked only ''Renai Shashin'', ''HEART'' and ''Pocket''. ''Yumekui'' is good but I prefer catchier songs from Ai, ''CHU-LIP'' is so and so, ''PEACH'' is enjoyable but not that great, ''Rocket Sneaker'' is avarage. Please Ai, I want other songs like ''Frienger'' !

AMAZING! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
My second Ai-chin's single, and this ROCKS! Ai is such an talented artist! Frienger is such a happy song with lovely lyrics! Amai Kimochi Maru Kajiri is a little bit sad to me, but still such an amazing work. Everybody support Ai-chin!! I'm going to get all of her CDs, because I'm her ultimate-fan! Daisuki!!

It surprised me. Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I generally hate Ai Otsuka. I think her voice is very annoying. However I was generally surprised when I heard Frienger. Her voice is high but yet at the same time not annoying. Frienger sounds like most of Ai's songs, but it has a catchy chorus. She also looks adorable in the PV. I'd recommend it if you're an Ai fan or like rock songs.

A bit lacking, but cute. Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
This single is a bit mediocre. Frienger is addictive and a cute song which gives you a fun feeling, and the videoclip is cute, but for some people her voice has become annoying, especially in songs like Smily, Happy Birthday and now Frienger. Unless you're a die hard Ai fan and you must get every release of hers I don't think it is really worth it.

A typical single from Otsuka Ai. Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
"Frienger" is Otsuka Ai's first single release for 2006. It consists of four tracks - the title track, a b-side and two instrumentals.

The title track, "Frienger", is an upbeat pop-rock song. While it doesn't enter the extremes of cute like in "SMILY" or "Sakuranbo", "Frienger" is still a very happy song. One thing that Otsuka Ai hit smack on the head with "Frienger" is that she wrote the song within the capabilities of her voice. In many of her upbeat songs, the melody consists of very high notes, and Otsuka Ai's voice changes to a shrill squeak the higher it gets. This problem is not in "Frienger". However, the song itself is so-so. While it is good, it sounds more suited to be the opening track for an album rather than a single.

The b-side, "Amai Kimochi Marukajiri", is a mellow, laid-back mid-tempo guitar pop song. It moves along at a steady rate, and in my opinion, is actually better than "Frienger". Otsuka Ai's voice sounds very relaxed. However, the song is also quite unmemorable.

"Frienger" is not a great release, and neither is it a bad one. It's a very 'blah' single, and it feels that she was somewhat lazy in it's creation. If this were merely Otsuka Ai's second or third single, this would be quite forgivable, but compared to recent works such as "Planetarium", "Neko Ni Fuusen" and "CHERISH", "Frienger" is merely mediocre.
