YesAsia Editorial Description

Finally the second album by singer-songwriter Otsuka Ai, whose debut album Love Punch was a huge success, earning Otsuka nicknames such as "the New Guru of Love".

This 11 track album, LOVE JAM features previous singles "Happy Days", a hard and catchy rock tune, "Kingyo Hanabi" (Goldfish Fireworks), and "Daisuki Dayo" (I Like You So Much), a mellow song which was written before her debut. Other hit tracks in this album includes "Kuroge Wagyu Jou Shio Tan Yaki 735 Yen (Japanese Black Beef's Tang BBQ 735 Yen), the ending theme song for animation Black Jack: a unique song with sensual lyrics.

The first batch of this album comes with a bonus 80 page picture book written by Otsuki Ai herself!

Simply and punchy Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Like with Love Punch, a lot of the songs on this album were from Ai's portfolio of music written before she became famous. For this reason, don't expect a growth in maturity since Love Punch. The songs are equally as fun as on the previous album and there are the beautiful ballads aswell. In a lot of ways it does just sound like a perfect sequal, varying very little from it's older sister, and yet sounding fresh throughout.

Honestly speaking, this album probably doesn't have as many gems as Love Punch, but there's still plenty none-the-less. Mousou Chop is a fantastically daring and fun song and Pon Pon is a lovely piece of silly fun. Happy Days manages to be well written, catchy and completely insane at the same time and there is the usual wealth of ballads. The production here is at a level of sharpness only equaled by Love Piece and is completely perfect to carry Ai's voice and the songs from start to finish and also makes the reply value of the CD top notch.

In all honesty, if you loved Love Punch, it's hard to see how you could be too dissapointed. However, if you are a fan of the later works, this is about as far as you could get from what you probably want to hear as Ai has very much abandoned this sound of recent for a more subtle approach.

This is a joyful wonderful piece of intelligent pop that I would recommend to anyone.

 Quality album Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This album is simply amazing. Highly recommended over LOVE PUNCH. Though for people who only like Kingyo Hanabi or Daisuki da yo you'll be disappointed for sure. This album is nothing like these 2 tracks, it is filled with very different sounds such as techno and rock. You must really appreciate Ai's voice and her crazyness to like the album, if you're only a "casual fan" you may not like it.

 Decent Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I love this album, but probabably not as much as LOVE PUNCH. If you're new to Ai, then listen to LOVE PUNCH first. This album has some pretty goods singles, but the album songs are not as catchy. I personally dislike the booklet too. Overall this is an excellent album with no fillers. The non-catchy stuff will eventually grow on you as you listen.

 A little worse than the first album Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
A little disapointment after the first album. The single songs are great, but most of the new ones aren't that good. Plus the cover is hideous! And the booklet is very boring... if You are looking for a good Ai cd to start Your Ai collection with - go with LOVE PUNCH!

Ai's Second Album a great hit! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This is Ai Otsuka's second album and I thought it was even better than the first. The songs sound quite different from each other. Some songs are slow ballads like Kingyo Hanabi which is foreveer addicting (my favourite song) and then there are fast songs like Happy Days which is a VERY catchy song you wont be able to get out of your head. The bonus DVD is even better. You get to watch a mini movie that stars Ai herself. The mini movie was fantastic and kept my eyes glued to the screen. Im really into sad movies so I really liked it. On the dvd you also get to view LOVE'S STORY which features the cutest animated characters you will ever see.
