THIS THREAD IS DYING! D:

Here's some news about Ayaka!

According to the new issue of FRIDAY, rising actor Hiro Mizushima (24) and popular singer Ayaka (20) appear to be dating. The magazine took pictures of the couple on a date in Tokyo's Azabu-Juban neighborhood earlier this month.

I always imaged her dating some mature looking guy...not some pretty boy. You know, cause her music is so mature and she always dresses mature. But they do look cute together, so I'm not complaining. Oh this just makes me want to watch "Zettai Kareshi" even more now. sad.gif

Ayaka, Mizushima in love?



According to the new issue of FRIDAY, rising actor Hiro Mizushima (24) and popular singer Ayaka (20) appear to be dating. The magazine took pictures of the couple on a date in Tokyo's Azabu-Juban neighborhood earlier this month.

The two were seen getting off a taxi in Azabu-Juban one night, wearing large sunglasses. Because it was lightly raining, the two were seen sharing Mizushima's umbrella. They spent about an hour and a half at a restaurant enjoying dinner, then were spotted again as they left, this time with their hands together tightly holding the umbrella. They then took a taxi to a high-class apartment building and went inside.

The pair seem to have gotten close after Ayaka sang the theme song "Okaeri" for the Fuji TV drama "Zettai Kareshi," which starred Mizushima, Saki Aibu, and Mocomichi Hayami.

Both Ayaka and Mizushima are managed by Ken-on. The agency opted for a "no comment," though it seemingly confirmed the news by remarking that both celebrities are already adults.
diru
^ Lol, I already posted this news BUT at least it's being acknowledged and this thread is coming back to semi-life again! biggrin.gif

No, she doesn't have a blog personally, but I think she sometimes blogs at her official website staff blog? There are a few times where I've seen pictures of her there.

And you can get muchos pictures of ayaka at her LiveJournal community: http://community.livejournal.com/ayaka_believe 8D

My scanner wasn't big enough to fit the entire calendar size, so I had to rescan some of the pages to get all of it, and then re-Photoshop 'em together. I left two pages out however, because they were old images, and they were cropped to the top of the image, so it wouldn't really make a difference. :3

Rikayla, its her third btw XD, her first was CLAP&LOVE/Why, 2nd one Te wo Tsunagou/Ai wo Utaou.

Wow,she's really whoring out double A-sides atm. Although chances are they'll only plug one. Only time they did both was CLAP&LOVE / Why, because of both's tieins.

Although Yume wo Mikata ni's instrumental is reaaaaaaaaaly catchy... in some entrancing way.
Rikayla
Oh oops. XDDDD;

Well, it looks like it won't be an A-side anymore. sad.gif But that doesn't matter. I just want to hear more songs from her. ;____;

IT'S BEEN SO LONG SRSLY.

OH MY GOD. LIKE WHAT~~
THEY'RE MARRIED?!

最新のイケメンランキングで1位になった人気俳優の水嶋ヒロ(24)と、人気シンガー・ソングライターの絢香(21)が結婚することが2日、分かった。2人は昨年6月、雑誌の対談をきっかけに交際をスタート。水嶋の誕生日の13日に婚姻届を提出する予定だ。デビュー3~4年で一気にブレークした2人が人気絶頂の中、幸せのゴールに飛び込む。

 2人は俳優、シンガーと活動するフィールドこそ違うが、同じ事務所に所属。もともと顔見知りで、昨年6月に雑誌「mini」(宝島社)の対談で意気投合。親しい友人らによると、8月ごろから交際をスタートさせた。

 当初から互いに結婚を意識した真剣愛。既に双方の両親へのあいさつは済ませており、関係各所への正式な報告を調整している段階。婚姻届は、水嶋が25歳の誕生日を迎える13日に提出する予定。現段階では挙式・披露宴などは決まっていない。

 水嶋は幼少期から中学までスイスのチューリヒで過ごした帰国子女で、桐蔭学園サッカー部時代には全国高校選手権の準決勝で平山相太(現FC東京)擁する国見と対戦したスポーツマン。1メートル80の長身で、慶大卒業。モテる男のポイントが多く、“イケメンの中のスーパーイケメン”と呼ばれている。

 06~07年にテレビ朝日「仮面ライダーカブト」に主演してから、フジテレビ「絶対彼氏~完全無欠の恋人ロボット」(08年)、「メイちゃんの執事」(今年1~3月)などのドラマで話題を集め、子供から主婦層まで幅広い支持を獲得。先月末、情報誌「オリ★スタが発表した「気になるイケメンランキング」では、小栗旬(26)や瑛太(26)らを抑えて1位。「女子高生が好きな俳優ランキング」でもトップになった。

 一方の絢香は06年のデビュー曲「I believe」が女性シンガー・ソングライターのデビュー曲として史上初めてオリコンチャートのトップ3入りした歌姫。同年の日本レコード大賞で最優秀新人賞に輝き、NHK紅白歌合戦に3年連続で出場中。ヒット曲「三日月」は07年の年間カラオケリクエストランキングで1位になり、井上陽水(60)もカバーするなど、世代を超えて歌われている。

 華やかに見える2人だが、プライベートでは派手なことが嫌いで、人気スポットや飲食店などでのデート情報はなく、スーパーで買い物している姿がたびたび目撃されている程度。互いに多忙な中、仕事の合間をぬって自宅で手料理を食べながら過ごすアットホームな愛をはぐくんできたようだ。

 人気絶頂期に結婚を決意したのも、そんな2人だからこそ選んだ“ささやかな幸せ”。「互いに助け合い、認め合っている理想のカップル」と周囲も祝福している。

I'm sorry I abandoned this thread for so loong. ;____;
I'm so happy for her and Mizushima's marriage. Love 'em both and they're so cute together. Kinda unexpected but congrats anyways.~
In the photos section, the news said she has Basedow's is true right? I hope she gets better soon. ):
‘‘I thought I wanted to protect her, including the fact she is suffering from the disease,’’ He's so sweet.
diru
Ooooh her hair's really grown out! Really long there. XD

EDIT: I like the song, it's really nice and melodic. I also didn't know Ayaka had a disease. Had the biggest "awww" moment when she was tearing. Notice when the cameras started really flashing up when she was crying? ==

I also noticed that they decided to tell everyone on April 1. This HAS to be an April Fool's joke! LOL :@

I took a shot at romanizing the Japanese lyrics. Took me a while to find a site that had the original Japanese. The site is actually kind of cool. :3

I was going to try to translate a bit of it, but I am epic fail at Japanese, only at beginner's level. x] From what I understand though, the lyrics are really touching, generally about following your dreams. Like I said, I'm a beginner's at Japanese so correct me if I have errors romanizing. I used the Japanese dictionary a lot so some parts may be wrong as well, especially the romanizing of kanjis. I had to double check with listening skills haha. D:

ayaka to release best of album! + Where to vote for her album's 2nd disc!

Popular singer ayaka (21) will be releasing a best album on September 23, titled "ayaka's History 2006-2009." The collection will include all of ayaka's singles to date, and the limited edition will have ten more songs voted on by fans.

In April, ayaka announced that she married actor Hiro Mizushima (25) and that she would be suspending her singing career at the end of this year due to Graves' disease. This album will span her entire career so far, from her debut single "I believe" in 2006 up to her latest song, "Minna Sora no mini coopera," released a few weeks ago.

The regular edition of "ayaka's History" contains one disc with 16 tracks - 13 songs from all 10 of her CD singles (three were double A-sides), 2 songs from her collaborative singles with Kobukuro, and her digital-only single "For today."

The limited edition of the album will include a second disc with 10 songs, chosen by fans from the rest of her entire discography. The limited edition also comes in two flavors, one packaged with a photobook and the other with a DVD of music videos and other clips.

As I linked above, you can vote for her new songs here at her official site. The input categories at the bottom are as follows: 名前 = Name, 郵便番号 = Postal code, 住所 = Address, この楽曲を選んだ理由 = Reason why you picked the song. I wrote in English in for the first three boxes and then used Google Translate for the last one. They need your address in case you happen to win the special ayaka gifts they're giving out.
diru
Didn't even know she had a new song out! Gosh I'm so out of touch with her now. sad.gif

I find that a best of album is just a way for producers to pump out sales and keep Ayaka fans in Japan happy enough till she overcomes her sickness. But that's just me being a pessimist about that.

She's a real gem in the music industry though, I hope she get's well! biggrin.gif
