FORBES JAPAN magazine has recognized Wada Ayaka as one of their "30 UNDER 30 JAPAN 2020" award winners.

"I want more options. The true meaning of Ayaka Wada's "Idol Declaration" #30UNDER30"

An idol sings and dances with a bouncy smile on a gorgeous stage. But once you get off the stage, you're just another person. If you're interested in someone, you want to fall in love, and you want to wear your nails like a grown-up. When my period arrives, I am sometimes unhappy. However, in the world of idols, to deviate from the "ideal idol" is strongly restricted by implicit norms.

On August 1, 2019, on her 25th birthday, Wada Ayaka made a declaration on her blog that garnered a great deal of attention.

'My future is mine to decide, I am a woman and an idol.'

Wada Ayaka is the former leader of the idol groups Angerme and Hello! Project. Even after graduating from the group, Ayaka has declared that she is still an "idol". She has also been active in conveying the appeal of art to the world through contemporary art exhibitions, talks and reviews of Buddhist statues, and articles in literary magazines, as well as being a member of the project "#No Bag For Me", which promotes knowledge and options for menstrual care. She also performs live shows to explore new possibilities for expression.

Art has made her aware of the discomfort in the world of idols, a world she has entered since she was 10 years old, and it is the basis of her philosophy of updating the conventional image of idols.

Selected as one of the winners of the "30 Under 30 Japan 2020" competition, this film traces her awareness of gender issues and her vivid encounter with art as she traces her vision of the future.

She has more to say in the article if anyone wants to translate the rest of the pages.

Meanwhile, Fujimoto goes shoe shopping…



(it's actually a paid promotion for the store, ORiental TRaffic, and i tend to skip over such things when they're so blatant. but for some reason this morning i'm amused by the contrast to Tsuji. i'm in a weird mood.)

Interesting.

I wonder what she'll be singing?

A bunch of covers? H!P/MM songs? Lillium songs? Surprise the people with never before heard solo stuff and also announce an official debut as a soloist?

So. Many. Questions.
