"Hikari" in better quality + photo!

A better version of "Hikari" appeared on YouTube :) You can listen to it here:

This is, however, not the end of updates ^^ LittleBigHeart posted on Channel-Ai a photo of Ai-chin recording her newest song:

The only thing I dislike about this photo is that we can't see Ai-chan's pretty face... ;)

Ai Otsuka - "Hikari" FULL SONG!

The newest Ai Otsuka's song called "Hikari" is available on YouTube! You can listen to it here:

It seems that chokokokoa from Channel-Ai made all Ai-chan's western fandom very happy - he found the link and posted it on the forum. Thank you! :D

"Hikari" is a beautiful song, somewhat similar to her "LOVE LETTER" ballads. I love it, but I'm waiting for a better quality rip ;)

If you're looking for the lyrics, you'll find them here :)

Ai Otsuka - "Hikari" (lyrics)

Although we haven't had an opportunity to listen to the song yet, we can read the lyrics. Is there somebody ready to translate? :)

「ヒカリ」 ("Hikari")

残った言葉 何処にゆこう

残った明日 どうして過ごそう

いちばん近くになったの

距離が離れて

心の距離が縮まった

ヒカリをみよう

貴方のコト 想った

いつだって あたたかい

会えなくて 泣きたい日も

あなたなら

いつだって こう言った

残った大好き ずっとあげる

残った涙は 奥底に溜まる

背中にあたった そこは静か

遠くで揺らぐ

ヒカリを ただ 見つめてる

ヒカリ 灯から 瞼に見える

君が笑った

夢のような幸せ

ヒカリをみよう

貴方のコト 想った

いつだって あたたかい

会えなくて 泣きたい日も

あなたなら

いつだって こう言った

いつだって 笑っててよう

いつだって 笑っててよう

いつだって 笑っててよう

いつだって 笑っててよう

いつだって 笑っててよう

Is "Hikari" Ai Otsuka's new song?

BIG UPDATE: Yes, it's confirmed and true. You can read about it here

EVEN BIGGER UPDATE: Listen to "Hikari" (full song)!

Japanese fans tweet about a new Ai Otsuka's song called 「ヒカリ」("Hikari"). The song allegedly is be released on 9th of October 2011. Moreover, Tetsuo Hiraga (a journalist who has recently posted a photo with Ai) mentions something about it on his blog.

However, since the official Ai-chan's site hasn't been updated since April and there's absolutely nothing new, right now I feel reluctant to get excited about all this new song story. Possibly the rumour is just a rumour and Ai still isn't coming back to music soon. Therefore, I think the best thing right now will be to follow the news from reliable sources. And this is what I'm going to do :)


Tetsuo Hiraga twitted that the song will be available on 9th of October for LOVE9CUBE members.

Hmmm... Does the rumour prove to be true after all? :) <-- Yes, it does ^^
