[ayaka] The 7th thread - THIS IS ME ~絢香 10th anniversary BEST~ (13.07)

[Bigtop]

I'm glad she's limiting the number of lives. Not often I hear something that would result in positive reaction...but the fact that she has got that new baby born, I think that was a safe choice. A very safe choice indeed.

I can't wait to see Ayaka's new baby...

@ matt9210 - sorry my mistake . Right now , there's no official confirmation on if there will be any dates cancelled from her upcoming tour . I should have read ayaka's blog entry before jumping to conclusion on what JPopAsia wrote :x

[matt9210]

^ Aha no worries, it's not your mistake

Really love this performance of Mikazuki. Not often I see emotion like this in J-pop performances.

Ayaka & Mizushima Hiro enjoy their first date after becoming parents

On August 14th, singer-songwriter Ayaka updated her blog and shared that she and her husband, actor Mizushima Hiro went out on a lunch date for the first time in a long while.

The couple celebrated the birth of their first child in June. In her blog, Ayaka wrote, "Out to lunch with my husband," and uploaded a photo of herself enjoying their lunch. "I'm thankful for my mother who told us to get out of the house for a breather," she revealed.

Earlier, on August 5th, Ayaka had written on her blog, "My husband and I are working hard and enjoying childrearing." Not only has Mizushima been supporting Ayaka with childrearing, but also with her music activities. The couple worked together for her upcoming tour "Ayaka Rainbow Road TOUR 2015-2016 ~Michi wa Tsuzuku yo~" which will kick off in November. She showed that they are getting ready for the tour saying, "I am currently thinking about the set list!" and "I will make this the best tour!!"

Ayaka to hold 10th anniversary live in February

Singer Ayaka, who gave birth to a baby girl in June, will hold a live concert on her 10th anniversary day, February 1 of next year, at Yoyogi National Gymnasium.

Ayaka updated her official blog on September 8 and commented on the anniversary concert, "I'm so happy~ It's already been 10 years. When I think about it, I am deeply moved." She expressed, "I am grateful to everyone who has supported until now. I will make it the best stage!!"

Ayaka has no time to rest with her nationwide tour "Rainbow Road TOUR 2015-2016 ~Michi was Tsuzuku yo~" scheduled to begin in November. As it is still a very sensitive time for her newborn child, Ayaka apologised to her fans for not being able to hold too many concerts nor visit too many locations this time.

Ayaka made her major debut on February 1, 2006 with the single "I believe". She married actor Mizushima Hiro in February of 2009.

Ayaka writes ending theme for 'The Peanuts' movie

Ayaka has provided her song "A Song For You" as the ending theme for the Japanese-dubbed version of "I LOVE SNOOPY THE PEANUTS MOVIE".

"A Song For You" is a number with a slow melodic line and a powerful message. Ayaka commented, "It's a song that was born by linking the movie's theme 'everyone is important to someone' and my feelings of becoming a mother. I wrote this song hoping that it will become a song that will stay by your side when you're sad or discouraged."

"I LOVE SNOOPY THE PEANUTS MOVIE" will drop in theatres nationwide on December 4. The voice cast of the Japanese-dubbed version include child actors Suzuki Fuku, Ashida Mana, Kobayashi Seiran, and Tani Kanon.

(Don't know what I can think of though. It's almost FOUR YEARS since I've last seen Ayaka with LONG hair...)

[Miduhyo]

I actually liked the song snippet, but I won't judge yea or neigh until I hear the whole thing. (Or at least I'll try not to)

I also think she needs to go back to longer hair. Or at least the bangs she used to have. I like the short haircut but there's something about the styling of this I just don't like. I can't put my finger on it but there's something about it that just doesn't fit. She herself is adorable but that hairstyle isn't :/

[KarenPang]

To me it feels like after ayaka came back on the scene from battling health issues , her dress sense changed & not for the better

Before she married Mizushima Hiro , her dress sense was more fun & youthful . Now even after having her 1st child , she looks older than her actual age which's not a good thing
