Three years...really? That long??? Whoa, time goes really fast... 2012... (that was the time when it was still Sayuri Sugawara before she renamed to "THE SxPLAY" last year, but this is Ayaka - three years sure really went fast...)

On February 1, actor Mizushima Hiro uploaded a photo of his wife, singer-songwriter Ayaka onto his official Instagram account and congratulated her on the 9th anniversary since her debut.

Ayaka made her debut in 2006 but went on hiatus in 2009 for treatment of Grave's Disease. Mizushima wrote, "9th anniversary from her debut today. I'm so happy for you Ayaka. I wanna thank all the people who supported her along the way." He also added the hashtags, "#Ayaka #9thanniversary #congrats #congratulations #roomayaka".

In addition to congratulatory messages, fans were moved by Mizushima's support for Ayaka. They left comments such as, "Thank you Hiro-san! I can see how much you love Ayaka," "Thank you to Hiro-kun who is always supporting Ayaka," "What a wonderful couple," and "An ideal couple!"

In December, the couple announced that they are expecting their first child.

Ayaka better postpone the album, give birth, forget EVERY SONG after they beginning, record an entirely new album and come back and slay the lessers. Waiting for her post natal awakening.
How does one degrade from 'sora yo onegai' to 'nijiiro' anyway. Giving me hitomi vibes.

Oh, postpone the album? I could agree, since I'm a bit of a budget crunch, trying to deal with paying off my new gaming graphics card...

Yeah, I just heard. I'm surprised she's doing this. Hopefully sometime this summer I'm going to buy it (along with a Sayuri Sugawara song from an album consisting of different artists, as well as catch up on digital-only Yanawaraba releases).

Ayaka to be the first Japanese artist to release iTunes Session

Quote:

Ayaka will release an 'iTunes Session' to 110 countries on March 16.

'iTunes Session' are EPs that are released exclusively through the iTunes Store. Top artists, such as Maroon 5, OneRepublic, and The Black Keys, have released music through 'iTunes Session'. This is the first time for an 'iTunes Session' to be produced in Japan, and Ayaka was selected as the first Japanese artist to participate.

For the recording, Ayaka will be joined by Shionoya Satoru (Key) and Furukawa Masayoshi (G), who went on tour with her last year. The 'iTunes Session' will include "Tsuyoku Omou", "Akai Sora", "THIS IS THE TIME", and "Nijiiro" along with "Through the ages", a song that Ayaka provided for British singer-songwriter Gabrielle Aplin, and an English self cover of her ballad "Hajimari no Toki".

Advance orders have already started on March 2. If ordering in advance, you will be able to download "Hajimari no Toki (English ver.) [iTunes Session]" before its release.

01. Tsuyoku Omou（iTunes Session）
02. Akai Sora（iTunes Session）
03. THIS IS THE TIME（iTunes Session）

I download the Hajimari No Toki...looks like she sings live...her vocal sounds raw and the mixing sounds a little raw as well. Looks like it's live recording...

It's not mentioned in the article but iTunes Sessions are made of live performances, not of studio versions!

AyuGAME · #**159** 4th March 2015, 02:27 AM

^I see..thank you for the explanation..

Bigtop · #**160** 4th March 2015, 03:08 AM

I pre-ordered it. Looking forward to the entire iTunes Session to come out in two weeks. And, at only $7 through the US iTunes store, that's a steal! Japan's charging the same thing for 1,100 yen, or slightly above $9 (based on 120 yen to the dollar conversion), which means they're paying more than us. Why do Japan charge higher prices on iTunes in general?
