So when ayaka comes back, she's to be an indies singer?

I just died a little, in a horrible way.

Bigtop 24th September 2010 07:05 AM

That's quite sad there... (planning to de-activate ayaka in my artist list soon, maybe next week)

I just have to feel sorry about it. We don't know what will happen, but I hope they do well on their future...

EDIT: Here's a related post for Hiro Mizushima, which happened a couple of days before this happened:

Quote:

Hiro Mizushima leaves Ken-on to become a writer

Actor Hiro Mizushima (26) has left his management agency Ken-on as of September 20, it has been learned. According to Ken-on, Mizushima left in order to focus on a writing career.

Mizushima has apparently been interested in writing for a long time. He informed his management about his desire to try it out, and after discussing the matter, his departure from the agency was decided.

Mizushima's wife, singer Ayaka (22), is also signed with Ken-on. Although she is currently on hiatus, the company stated that Mizushima leaving will have no effect on her current contract.

It is not yet clear how this move will impact Mizushima's acting career.

looks that way

if not , Warner Japan wouldn't have shut down her website without any reason in doing that .__.

Nackar_91 24th September 2010 09:28 AM

Now that's not necessarily true!

Management company is NOT your distributor. If they're still releasing her music through Warner Music or any other large company, she'll still be a major artist. Management does NOT influence this.

KarenPang 24th September 2010 11:38 AM

oh yeah sorry my mistake >_<

the same thing applies to other artistes who have separate management & record labels

like EXILE , Namie . Only their material's released via avex but their management teams are different with EXILE having their own one & Namie is managed by Vision Factory

TITANIC 24th September 2010 02:11 PM

it said there's no effect for Ayaka so she'll still a major artist

Nackar_91 24th September 2010 02:17 PM

I think this is good news! They're still working on her career, which means she hasn't given it all up completely.

ストロボ・EdGE 3rd October 2010 05:53 AM

What other major label artists manage themselves independently though?

DREAMS COME TRUE manages themselves independently I think, because they have their own record label DCTRecords which is part of Universal Music Group

ストロボ・EdGE 5th October 2010 04:10 AM

That's a relief to hear; thanks for the info.

The fact that ayaka said in that letter that she would be managing her own music under that company her and Hiro are starting makes me excited because it makes it sound like there's a comeback around the corner. Still I wouldn't mind if she rested another year, she deserves it.

I've been listening to her since '07 and although that's a relatively short period of time (not really in the Jpop world I guess) her music has been timeless for me and also I kind of want all the hype of her break to be, you know, worth it.

freedreamer 5th October 2010 08:48 AM

hopefully this means more freedom for music :) and i hope she's healing well

Sing to the Sky? Nah, just Triple Platinum, which makes more sense considering it sold 640k copies.

Her best album has been certified million, though.

ayaka to make a comeback with her own label next year
http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/10/aya...bel-next-year/
by HPriest on October 20, 2011 at 5:31 pm (EDT/UTC -4)


Today it was announced that singer ayaka, who went on an indefinite hiatus at the end of 2009, has created her own independent label and is in preparations for her comeback in early 2012.

ayaka, who is married to actor Mizushima Hiro, had her last performance at the ‘NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen‘ on December 31st, 2009. The singer is suffering from Graves’ disease and wanted to completely focus on its treatment in order to improve her condition.

After her last concert in November 2009 and her said performance at the music show, all of her fans have been highly anticipating to hear some good news from the singer. Today the wait is finally over.

According to ‘A stAtion‘, the private agency of ayaka and Mizushima, her condition has stabilized and she is currently devoting herself to finally release a new song within the first couple of days of 2012. ayaka herself also announced her comeback, and her own label, with a handwritten message on her official website and told her fans, that she wants to continue to sing as soon as possible.

Let’s look forward to what kind of songs ayaka is going to produce with her own label and of course you should keep on checking Tokyohive for more updates about her comeback.

Nice but I hope she didn't lost her beautiful voice with this disease.

Utena 21st October 2011 11:50 PM

^ doubt so, she took a hiatus because she didn't want to loose her ability to sing (because she could have underwent surgery but she choose not to coz it could affect her vocal chords and just went on a leave for serious treatment instead)

No, label is A stAtion; Avex is the distributor of the CDs (much like Sayuri Sugawara belonging to FLME, distributed by Sony, and Yanawaraba, who much like Ayaka, use a private label (Papaya Records) with Avex distributing the CDs).

Bigtop 6th December 2011 11:44 PM

(post irreleveant as of now because it appears that Koda Kumi, originally planned to release "JAPONESQUE" on February 1st, is now being moved up (now OFFICIALLY) by a week to January 25th, which now alleviates concerns...)

I'm not sure if we should be concerned at this, but Koda Kumi's also releasing a new album on February 1st:

isnt this going to be a more indie release? so it wouldnt even normally be number 1?

I just know that I'm getting a copy and that I'm so happy ayaka is singing again.

Bigtop 7th December 2011 04:36 AM

UPDATE: Hearing that Kuu's album will be releasing one week earlier than their first planned date of February 1st (instead January 25th), mainly because they were not aware at first that Ayaka was releasing this album on that day...

(by the way, I pre-ordered mine (limited edition, obviously) through HMV last Sunday - first time I've ever ordered a CD out of Japan!)

EDIT: The change has been OFFICIALY CONFIRMED.

ストロボ・EdGE 7th December 2011 06:09 PM

I doubt the dates were changed just because both artists were to release on the same day. In this case, at least.

Koda Kumi's releases have never been much for moving dates around for chart placements a la Ayu and other Avex artists (I remember BoA's Love Letter was moved because Ayu was releasing t2m the same day), and ayaka could care less, all the more now being an indie artist.

sesshy 7th December 2011 09:42 PM

when it comes to hitting number 1, usually I see idols/divas/such moving their dates rather than rock bands or artists like ayaka. Or between avex or Johnny's (I was surprised to see KAT-TUN and TVXQ facing off, but TVXQ lost). But oh well, doesn't matter who makes the most sales to me. Just looking forward to her album and see what she has in store for us. :heart

just because JAPONESQUE's release date has been pushed up a week earlier than expected , it doesn't necessary mean The beginning will get #1 :shrug

But to me be it whether it will or wouldn't , I really wouldn't care so much about this in this aspect , most importantly , ayaka is back , that's all

Finally preordered ayaka's new album (the regular edition) from CDJapan. Can't wait until February when it gets delivered to my house!

Happy 24th birthday, Ayaka!

By the way, I had some prediction that (based on the popularity of this singer) she would have an official fanclub, and she just opened it up on the day of her birthday.

Now it appears that the layout is based on the Avex fanclub sites (because of Avex distribution of Ayaka's albums), and it costs 4,000 yen per year, plus a 1,000 yen joining fee...

(By the way, the website got updated - http://room-ayaka.jp/)

ayaka launches fan club for her 24th birthday

On December 18th, ayaka celebrated her 24th birthday by launching an official fan club!

Unfortunately, the fan club is limited to only fans living in Japan. Members of the fan club will have access to ayaka’s blog, original novelties, ticket information, fan club events, and much more.

The entrance fee is 1,000 yen, and the annual fee is 4,000 yen. Those who join the fan club before December 23rd will receive an invitation to a premium recording event.

Additionally, ayaka has announced that she will be embarking on a nationwide tour next spring!

covers are out, dunno which one is which version though... I'm 90% sure the umbrella one is the regular version.

Ditto that. I don't get this...where's Ayaka's face???

(Hopefully she will appear for the first time in almost two years on MSSL)

KarenPang 19th December 2011 12:30 PM

lol yeah Mylene's right , the cover featuring the Umbrella is the CD only as reflected on CDJapan

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/list_from_c...tml?key=381670

not exactly the kind of covers I was expecting from ayaka , would have been awesome if she herself was featured on the cover artwork ick but whatever , I hope her new material's just as awesome as her older works

Bigtop 20th December 2011 10:36 AM

Hearing that Ayaka's singing "Minna Sora no Shita" for the Kouhaku (she did that two years ago)...

...but WHY???

I wasn't expecting her to sing any other song, it was the last song she sang 2 years ago, it's just logical to come back with the very same song :)

Twinkle ! 20th December 2011 12:15 PM

good job ayaka !

That's not logical at all. She has a new album coming out within two months with no promotion or even a preceding single so far and she's going to sing AN OLD SONG on one of the biggest shows of the year? That's just stupid.

They need to change it to Hajimari no Uta or ANYTHING else on the album. smh
