The Official Ayaka Hirahara thread
 

Does anyone know/listen to this amazing vocalist? I haven't heard much of her at all around this forum, and I was just wanting to know if there were any fellow fans around. I thought her new album was breathtaking, although most people think otherwise.

I absolutely love her latest album. I put it on and leave it on repeat all day, her voice is so beautiful and the simple melodies just help me concentrate on work or relaxing, it's great!

What is the music style? I've never heard of her.

I absolutely LOVE Ayaka Hirahara. I have her sophomore album "The Voice", and it is absolutely stunning. I haven't picked up "4tsu no L" yet since my current income doesn't exactly allow me to spend $30 on an album. But I will pick it up the moment I have a chance, the disc alone is worth it for the two singles "Eternally" and "Chikai".

Ballad/Jazz.

I still haven't got to listen to "4tsu no L" *adds it to her current playlist*

[EDIT] My "Chikai" love revives! :luv2

Great idea for this thread~
I first liked her when I heard her sing "Jupiter" in Kouhaku 04.
I was like, I heard this song before~ It must be a cover of G. Holst's original!

Anyways, I love her latest album: "4tsu no L"; waaayy better than "From To"

Wow, didn't expect such fast replies. She's most well known for her debut single "Jupiter", which sold tons for a debut single (600-700k). I've uploaded some select songs off her latest album.

^ Actually Jupiter sold 900k :D

'4 tsu no L' is probably my favourite from Ayaka so far, and the cover album 'from to' has some fantastic stuff too.

But it's a shame that the only single to have sold very well was JUPITER.

what does "4 tsu no L" mean btw? :shrug

I love her and this new album is fantastic. But don't you guys have the feeling "Circle Game" sounds like a cheap mixture of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" with Madonna's "Like a prayer" with a poppier beat? LOL :laugh
Chikai and Eternally are awesome songs!

The four Ls are Love, Life, Luck, Live

When you buy the CD, you get a sticker of a four-leaf clover representing one of the four L's.
I got luck which is good because I need some better luck. :yes

she`s great. that album is pretty solid, and i highly recommend "eternally". it`s pv is great too.

Love her. I need to buy her new album though. *cries*

That's what I thought when I heard "Circle Game"!!

Anyway, I downloaded some of her songs, and she has a really nice voice!! I'm hoping to hear more from her!!

Oh don't forget she's pretty "pop" too.

From all the reviews I really cannot wait to get my copy of it!!!

4tsu no L is the first album I've heard of from her, and it was awesome! does anybody know where I can sample any of her other albums, cause she sounds fabulous!

I know I'm gonna buy 4tsu no L, but I don't know about any of here other albums? any ideas?

Go to www.ayaka-hirahara.com and click "Discography" to hear a sample of her new single. Voyagers sounds quite good :yes

Yay! A new single!! :D
