I agree. I just listened to 'star', because you said it was your personal favourite. Although I couldn't be bothered to hear out for words I could pick out, her vocals suit the instrumentals in that song. I'm not sure if this style carries on for each of her songs. Are all of hers slow ballads? "Boyfriend" looks like a pop-py song, looking at the music video screen cap on youtube.

I apologize if there is already a thread out there, but is there a place where you can mass-download her music? I'd like to listen to more of her works- it's quite impressive. :D

She's been in the music industry for a long time now, so I can tell why people always mention her from time to time. From looking at her, she looks down-to-earth, despite how long she's been with the business. I admire celebs who are like that. Haha, correct me if I'm wrong about that though.

Aiko was one of the first artists I started following when I got into J-pop about 10 years ago. I bought her first four CDs when they came out, and then her label started re-releasing them with new covers. Not being able to read Japanese, I just thought they were new CDs and I bought one. Then I got it home and realized I already owned it. So I gave it to a friend and stopped buying her CDs for a while. Then this year I realized she had a bunch of new CDs I hadn't bought yet, so I got caught back up. I still love everything she's done, but I keep going back to those first few CDs, they're just so much fun.

Sakura no Ki no Shita is very addictive. That's the only album of aiko that I have. I dunno, I think her voice has that natural jazz vibe. Even on the rock tracks, I still hear jazz influences. Heheh Anyway, her voice is very relaxing... When I'm tired of all the hard rock, I just pop her CD in the player and wow, that's listening to relaxing poppy upbeat tunes. :good
