Ayaka sings 'Mikazuki' on 'THE FIRST TAKE'

Ayaka makes an appearance on the 292nd episode of YouTube channel 'THE FIRST TAKE.'

On her second time on 'THE FIRST TAKE,' Ayaka performs her signature song "Mikazuki" which was originally released in 2006. This song was written when the singer left her hometown of Osaka for Tokyo. It's dedicated to all her loved ones back at home with the message of "We look up at the same moon with our hearts connected even though we are far apart."

Ayaka has performed "Mikazuki" numerous times in the past. This time, she sings it in a simple arrangement along with pianist Shiotani Satoshi.

Ayaka creates new album 'Funtale' in New Zealand

Ayaka's new album "Funtale" will be released on June 21.

"Funtale" will be Ayaka's original seventh album, her first since "LOVE CYCLE" was released in February of last year. The album is named after "Fantail," a songbird that is native to New Zealand.

All 11 songs in the album were written and composed by Ayaka. For song arrangement, she worked with UTA, Kan Sano, Shin Sakiura, and others. The Blu-ray and DVD will contain footage from her concert at Yoyogi National Stadium last November, which was a part of her tour 'AYAKA 15TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR 2021 ~Motto Ii Hi ni~.'

The singer commented, "It's been over 15 years since I made my debut. Seeking growth and change as a singer and creator, I tried creating songs in New Zealand, located in the southern hemisphere. Being surrounded by the beautiful ocean, comfortable winds, and delicious air, and being exposed to gentle personalities and culture, I feel like I've found a new perspective on creativity."
