Ai Otsuka releases "Gomen ne" - listen!

Ai Otsuka's newest song titled "Gomen ne" has been finally released and it was uploaded on YouTube. Use the player below to have a listen!

"Gomen ne" was meant to be published along with Ai's second picture book "Neko ga suki ni natta kirai na neko", but it's release was postponed to April 27, 2012.

This song has such dreamy, romantic and relaxing feeling that made me realise how much I love our sweet Ai-chan :) It's so good to hear her voice after such a long time of silence!

How about you - do you like "Gomen ne"? Express your opinions about the song in the comments :)

Many thanks to the person who kindly shared the song with us :) For us, overseas fans, this is especially important and valuable, because the song is available to download only in Japan. Even if somebody imports the original book from Japan and obtains the download code, it works only in Japan. Let's hope "Gomen ne" will be released as a physical single or a future album, so that fans from all over the world can buy it :)
