Well, yeah, that was fast to announce...now I'm planning to pre-order it as well! Along with the aforementioned new collab single that I still haven't pre-ordered yet.

At least it's NOT subject to an export ban unlike last time! Hopefully this holds to the release date because last year's Avex export ban was dumb (remember Ayaka's releases since 2012, although an indie label, are distributed by Avex).

aliceshields 26th January 2018 01:01 PM

Being sick at any time of the year ain’t fun at all, being sick during winter time can be very suffering. I had a bad sore throat early last year in winter, my voice totally lost, chest pain and fever come and go, it was just suffering and weeks to recovered.


I hope Ayaka fully recover soon, she has the best team taking care of her :yes

Not everyone is able to attend Acoustic Live Tour 2017-2018 ~3-STAR RAW~ and let alone go to the respective concert venue/s in order to buy the physical copy of Sakura

I suppose they finally decide to release Sakura digitally as the next alternative solution due to overwhelming demand from fans who want to buy the song online as it's more easier

KarenPang 21st February 2018 09:36 AM

It would have been better if ayaka & Miura Daichi separately sang Heart Up in full cos it's so odd to hear blank instrumental being played in between each of their own version regarding the B-sides

I hope this wouldn't discourage ayaka from dueting with other artistes as I like Heart Up

Maybe it's about time for ayaka to do another duet with Kobukuro again ?

Quote:

Actress Kawaei Rina stars in the short movie PV for Ayaka's graduation song "Sakura." This is her first time starring in someone else's work.

The video tells a story about Natsuki (played by Kawaei), who loses her only friend Niki right before graduation from high school. Natsuki is unable to accept her friend's sudden death, but she makes the resolve to "graduate" from her friend's death and move forward.

Kawaei, who graduated from AKB48 in August of 2015, commented, "To me, graduation is a big step, but it's also a path to a new self. I hope people who watch this will be able to think positively about moving forward."

Been waiting 😎 looking forward for the new release.

Bigtop 31st July 2018 08:08 AM

I can't wait for Ayaka's new album as well! Three - and a half - years has been a bit too long of a wait.

Time goes so fast?

Ayaka announces new album & tour

Quote:

Ayaka has announced that she will release a new album this fall, and to coincide with the album's release, she will be holding a nationwide tour.

It's been three and a half years since the singer released her last album "Rainbow Road" (April, 2015). The title, track list, and other details will be revealed at a later date.

While the tour schedule hasn't been fully revealed yet, we know that she will perform on December 16 at Osaka-jo Hall and December 26 at Nippon Budokan.

ayaka has a new collaboration & this time round , it's with KREVA

Their collaboration song Glory will be released digitally on 31st Aug

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkhLrp-U0AIdMu4.jpg:small

KREVA 1st performed Glory by himself at last Sept's 908 FESTIVAL 2017 where it was held at Nippon Budokan

For this year's 908 FESTIVAL 2018 that will be held on 31st Aug at the same venue , it will be the 1st time for both artistes to sing the song together onstage

For now , it's not known if this duet will be included in ayaka's upcoming new album

If I remember correctly, that would be Ayaka's second collab single for the year! (Remember Daichi Miura?) But considering the day of the week on release (Friday, 31 August), and there's also no catalog numbers, this is going to be released as a digital single.

KarenPang 14th August 2018 06:42 PM

Ayaka & KREVA to release a collaboration single

Quote:

Ayaka and KREVA's collaboration song "Glory" will be digitally released on August 31.

This song was performed just once at KREVA's event '908 FESTIVAL 2017' held last September. At the time, Ayaka was thrilled to be invited to perform at KREVA's event, and as such, she wanted to do something that would make the crowd happy. She made a demo of "Glory" while imagining that she was singing together with KREVA. After receiving the demo, KREVA wrote the lyrics and arranged the song.

Ayaka will be appearing in this year's '908 FESTIVAL 2018' to be held on August 31 at Nippon Budokan. Fans can look forward to hearing this song again at the event.

I never listened to Kreva but I hope the song'll be good. Her collab with Miura Daichi was nice but forgettable. I barely listened to it.

KarenPang 15th August 2018 05:22 AM

I feel the 2 duets ayaka did with Kobukuro are still the best . I think both artistes should work on another duet again if possible

Bigtop 15th August 2018 07:03 AM

Yeah, I realized Ayaka's been in New Zealand for quite some time. For at least a couple of weeks or so? And with her husband Hiro?

(By the way, it's winter in New Zealand when it's summer in Japan.)

Do you feel that you will like Heart Up if ayaka was only singing in the song ?

I thought the B-sides in Heart Up would be solo versions of them singing the song separately

And to hear 1/2 the song with and without their vocals separately , that was so weird

Yoake 16th August 2018 08:25 PM

^Oh no. I have nothing against Miura's voice. He has a sweet and nice voice that fit Ayaka's voice. That's the arrangement of the chorus that make the song a bit boring for me. I feel like she has a lot of those kind of songs but Heart up isn't as good as her past ballads.

anata to feat. Kobukuro is a masterpiece :luv2

Fair enough . Some said that Miura Daichi & Matsushita Yuya should work on something together cos their music styles are very similar with each other

So when it was announced that ayaka & Miura will be working on something together , I was surprised but I agree that Heart Up didn't tug me enough unlike the 2 duets ayaka did with Kobukuro years ago

For me it's better than Heart Up, even with so much rapping.

ayaka at 908 FESTIVAL 2018 yesterday with KREVA

https://cdnx.natalie.mu/media/news/m...ixw_750_lt.jpg

She sang 4 songs which include :

01. にじいろ
02. ハートアップ 絢香&三浦大知
03. Glory 絢香&KREVA
04. The beginning

https://natalie.mu/music/news/297885

Miura Daichi also performed at 908 FESTIVAL 2018 and ironically KREVA is more better dressed than ayaka o_O

ayaka should stop wearing muted colours like grey , white , black . I will be genuinely shocked if she wear something besides the 3 colours in a future outfit of hers

thinkingoutloud89 2nd September 2018 03:46 PM

^what do you have against white/black/grey? I wear it like 70% off the time and is pretty Japanese to dress in these "colors" since they are timeless and chic.

I really can't wait for this album release! (Planning to order this alongside Rina Katahira's best album releasing on the same day.)

Just a heads-up: The FC version includes some kind of notebook with handwritten messages and illustrations by Ayaka herself, but sadly, it's DVD, not Blu-ray.

Because this is the first time an Ayaka album is being released with a Blu-ray version! FINALLY! A Blu-ray HD version instead of just the '480p' DVD material we've been used to!
