Thanks for sharing! Hopefully a new release will come out as well - we've been waiting a bit too long for a new Ayaka release!

Mizushima Hiro opens his official Instagram account

Quote:

Actor Mizushima Hiro has opened up his official Instagram account. This was announced by his wife, singer-songwriter Ayaka through Twitter.

Ayaka reported, "My husband started using Instagram~," and warned fans, "By the way!!! There are a lot of fake accounts of my husband, so be careful." Then she tweeted, "This is the real one!" and revealed her husband's Instagram username "@hiro_mizushima_official" . Mizushima's uploads onto Instagram are a picture of himself with the word "official" written on it and adorable photos of his dogs so far.

Ayaka herself feels that she has no need for opening an Instagram account, "I am at my limit with Twitter and blog." However, she playfully stated, "I asked my husband, 'Put me on there once in awhile!'."

The photos Mizushima Hiro uploaded on his Instagram are so cute especially their dogs

At least I'm a Room Ayaka fanclub member, though I'm surprised Ayaka does NOT actually have an official Instagram account... (>_<)

Yay! One of my last hopes for the Kouhaku, now that Ayu's pretty much gone...

Nijiiro is the most likely song choice for Kouhaku. There is the NHK asadora factor.

She appears on FNS too? Great. It is my favorite show.

Re NHK: Most logical case. Yeah, Nijiiro was used on an NHK drama...

I'd love to get into ayaka but I don't know any of her songs yet. Any suggestions on what to listen to first?

Mikazuki was the song that really established her as the singles she released before that were charted OK but not that great

Artistes like Kobukuro & Shimizu Shota have since covered Mikazuki

It's one of her more recent songs but I would give beautiful a try. It is a great showcase of how amazing of a singer she is.

Listen to her album "the beginning"
It's her best work and you're bound to like something on it. It's only 60 minutes long so it's not too bad. Songs like "the beginning" and "tsunagaru kokoro" are really good.

As for her latest work, beautiful definitely is really good. Her older work has... Less personality in it I think. I mean mikazuki is great but it doesn't scream Ayaka. Her album "the beginning" takes her first two commercial albums and makes it into an "indie" type album that combines the best of both worlds without sounding like your typical jpop commercial product. She really did a good job with that album and I'm sad that it didn't sell more because it really deserves it.

Now that we're talking about ayaka, I need her to come back and slay a biT. I'm tired of her releasing basic ass shit (basically all her stuff after beautiful) when I KNOW this bitch can release stuff that will send careers flying.

CLAP & LOVE is still my guitly-ayaka-pleasure
