Since then she has released four other singles and her album. She's gone on to win the best new artist award at the Japan Record Awards, making an appearance on NHK's Kouhaku Uta Gassen at the end of last year and also receiving another five prizes at the Japan Gold Disc Awards last month. The last female artist to reach this goal was Nakashima Mika with 'True' back in late 2002. The only other album to sell a million copies so far this year is Mr. Children's "Home". Ayaka's next single is released on July 4th, titled 'Jewelry Day'. |

This has given me a lot of confidence and energy to make my own way." | < Prev | Next > |
