AYAKA's Long Interview Has Been Published
As part of the promotion for her first photo book, a two-part interview with AYAKA has been published on Modelpress, a Japanese media outlet.
(As usual, links to automatic translations of both articles are provided below.)
AYAKA, who joined MCZ in the sixth grade of elementary school 18 years ago, said, "MCZ is at the center of my activities. I think all four of us feel the same way. What matters most is being able to keep going for a long time while enjoying it as much as possible."
One of the things she values most is "not being greedy." Performing on stage and appearing on TV shows were goals she had set for herself, but her underlying ambition was always to "keep going for a long time and try all kinds of things."
She also said she would be happy if more children watched MCZ and thought, "I want to be like them," helping broaden the range of options available to them.
AYAKA also shared anecdotes from the group's tour of all 47 prefectures. At one point, she lost track of where she was and how many concerts they had performed. She recalled figuring out which venue they had visited by remembering what she had eaten there, saying things like, "We had takoyaki, so that must have been that venue."
