The festival has now released its timetable, revealing that Ayaka will perform on the SMILE GARDEN stage from 10:00 a.m. on the opening day, July 31, for a 20-minute set.

As in previous years, Ayaka has once again been given the very first performance slot at what is widely regarded as the world's largest idol festival.

This year, six stages will begin simultaneously at 10:00 a.m., with Ayaka assigned to one of them. In some previous years, her performance had been scheduled noticeably earlier than the rest, but this year's timetable follows a more straightforward format.

Expectations are high for a performance that will showcase A-rin's outstanding idol charisma as she takes the stage at the age of 30.
