Ayaka Releases New Song

At midnight on her birthday, Ayaka digitally released her solo song "30 STREET!!!" to celebrate turning 30. (See below.)

The song was written and composed by Maeyamada Kenichi , better known as Hyadain, who has worked closely with MCZ for many years. It is an upbeat and cheerful track filled with the familiar charm that fans associate with Ayaka.

In Japanese, people in their thirties are sometimes referred to as "misoji." The kanji characters can be interpreted as "thirty" and "road," and this nuance was reportedly translated into English as "30 STREET."

The song also includes the phrase "Is it okay if I'm an idol forever?", which pays homage to CUTIE STREET's hit song "Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?" ("Is Being Cute Alone Not Enough?").

It appears that permission for this reference was obtained from CUTIE STREET in advance. The group's official X account also posted a message celebrating Ayaka's birthday.

In addition, the release was accompanied by the publication of the "Sasaki Ayaka All Songs Playlist," a collection covering her solo works and other related songs.
