Ayaka to sing campaign song for 'Kit Kat'

Nestle's 'Kit Kat' will be starting a campaign to celebrate its 40th anniversary in Japan. Singer-songwriter Ayaka has been chosen as the campaign artist and wrote the song "Arigatou no Wa".

"Arigatou no Wa" is Ayaka's first new song in about 6 months. It expresses one's feeling of gratitude toward people that are close to them. This is Ayaka's first time writing a song with just "Arigatou" as its theme. As such, she asked fans through Twitter, "Who is the person you want to tell 'thank you' the most?".

Ayaka expressed her thoughts on the word 'thank you', "I think the word 'thank you' is a magic word. The smile that appears when you say it, and the joy you feel when it's said to you. There are moments when you wonder if you've done something for the other person, and you become warmhearted. It's a word that I always treasure."

She also commented on her new song, "'Thank you' can be seen from many perspectives, so I was distraught over how to write it. However, I felt that this word had the power to spread warm feelings."

She continued, "I thought about the person I wanted to say 'thank you' to the most. The person who immediately came to mind was my mother. That was the starting point of the lyrics."

For the campaign, the 'Kit Kat' packaging has been equipped with AR (augmented reality). When you hold your smart phone with the 'Kit Kat' app over it, you can enjoy a 3D live of Ayaka singing "Arigatou no Wa". The "Arigatou" version 'Kit Kat' will come in 5 different products and it will go on sale in early-September.

I still can't get over the fact that she's releasing a cover album. Gonna download it anyway though.

[inspire_rmx]

Would prefer a brand new studio album from her. But any release from Ayaka is good for me. Especially with her voice. Pretty excited for this cover album too

Better than I thought. Ayaka's never really dissapointed. But I pray that 1st grade means 'no more cover albums after this grade'.

Yeah, I'm not surprised she wouldn't get #1 (or even #2, because Kana Nishino is the girl to beat with her best albums), but #3's still quite decent. But...

What's the point with what you're saying?

[Delicious n Bold]

I don't know. I just realized that it makes no sense. Basically I don't want anymore cover albums, but that's just my selfish desire.

i hope someone will upload it to mediafire

Ayaka kicks off her nationwide tour in Kobe

On September 5th, singer Ayaka kicked off her nationwide tour 'Ayaka LIVE TOUR 2013 Fortune Cookie ~Nani ga Deru Kana!?~' at Kobe International House.

This tour coincides the release of Ayaka's first cover album 'Yu-on Club ~1st grade~' (released September 4th). Aside songs from the album, she sang "Mikazuki" for the first time in 4 years. She also performed her new song "Arigatou no Wa" for the very first time.

The concert kicked off with a chime to go with the "school" theme of the album. Like the album's jacket cover, Ayaka appeared on stage with a mannish school girl look. She then sang the 11 songs from her cover album back to back.

Ayaka was deeply moved to tears upon seeing her fans listening to her attentively as she sang "Arigatou no Wa", which was written as Nestle Kit Kat's 40th anniversary song. There was also a special project for which Ayaka sang the top 5 songs her fans requested. These songs included her originals such as "Mikazuki", "I believe", and "Minna Sora no Shita".

Ayaka will hold a total of 19 shows in 11 locations with her finale on November 29th at Sendai Sun Plaza Hall.
