frankly I was shocked when I 1st heard Planetarium as that was the song which changed my whole perception on her

I 1st heard Sakuranbo which I didn't like but after hearing Planetarium , I was converted immediately

I thought Sakuranbo was annoying at first, but then thought it was catchy and fun song later on.

:love

ya I find it very annoying initally . Then my younger sister played for me Planetarium & I was totally sold to otsuka after that :laugh

it helped that after watching the 1st season of HYD , I like the song even more than before (& that was where I got Jun-baited :innocent)

I also found Happy Days to be a bit annoying at first, lol. XD

oh that's surprising because I like Happy Days but yet at 1st I can't tolerate Sakuranbo

sakuranbo was the first song i've heard from her, and the song really hooked me up.

and i think the second song was momo no hanabira, quite surprise that artist cover her song (an artist that i hate so much that i dont want to type/think about her name :eviltongu)

and finally planetarium was the song that really attract me to her writing song's talent and vocal. the track is perfect.

Lol, i'm actually the opposite. I find Sakuranbo totally irritating now, lol.

I don't like Cyndi Wang's version of Momo no Hanabira. Ai's verion is so much better! :love

I don't basically associate "PLANETARIUM" with HanaDan, because I liked the song before I even knew that it was an insert song for HanaDan and before I watched the dorama.

The first song by ai I heard was "Kingyo Hanabi" (I think). ^^

lol I'm different Aga , I 1st heard Planetarium way before I watched HYD last year so ya

the song's a masterpiece really , it's sad she can't come up with another song like that til KN came by

Huh? So isn't that the same situation? Just that I don't associate it with HanaDan so much. That would be the difference. ^^

I like "KURAGE, Nagareboshi", but it's kind of like Kingyo Hanabi + PLANETARIUM = KURAGE, Nagareboshi. Even the title shows it with the reference to an ocean animal and stars.

When did HYD start playing Planetarium?

And yeah, I agree that KURAGE is a hybrid of those two songs. -___-

^I can't remember but maybe in every single episode? Specially if it gets emotional or romantic or whatnot.

The first time I heard Otsuka was on a-nation 05 (Smily) when a friend sent me a copy of the DVD. I didn't really like Smily that much but I loved Daisuki da yo, later on when Planetarium was released at first I thought it was ok, and needed some time to really start loving it.

Lol. I remember the first time I saw the Smily PV, I thought it was so funny, with those men in the PV. :rofl

oh yeah sorry about that :dead2

the very 1st HYD season was aired 4 years ago

If I recall I think Planetarium was played on almost every episode in season 1

man that time when it was aired , Domoyoji rushed to the school to rescue Makino & he was beaten real badly & after that he confessed that he likes her

aw :(

^Never mind. ^^ I was just surprised.

And spoilers anyone? lol You should keep in mind that some maybe haven't seen HanaDan yet.

haha why ? not much spoilers going on in the 1st season because imo it wasn't really that entertaining as much as the 2nd season & the movie eventually

besides I don't think folks in the otsuka thread are that much Johnny inclined

^Not everyone who watches a dorama that stars Johnny's is a Johnny's fan. xD It's almost impossible to watch a dorama without Johnny's starring in it. :lmfao
