Ayaka Last Solo Concert to Become DVD

Saturday November 21, 2009 Japan

Submitted by meoinkie2



On November 18th at Osaka-Jo Hall Ayaka held what will become her last solo concert before suspending her music career. The DVD of the live performance 'MTV Unplugged ayaka' will go on sale on January 13th 2010.

200,000 fans had applied for a chance to become the 10,000 winners that would be invited for free to the concert. That was also the most number of people to view an MTV Unplugged event. As the title 'Unplugged' suggests, the performances were done with acoustic instruments (no electric instruments).
As her husband Mizushima Hiro looked on, Ayaka sang her first single 'I believe' and an assortment of other hit songs such as '三日月 / Mikazuki', and 'おかえり / Okaeri'. During the mid-part of the show she performed a cover of Michael Jackson's 'Human Nature'. For the encore she sang 'みんな空の下 / Minna Sora no Shita', which will become her last single before she suspends activities at the end of the year. She earnestly performed the song as if she were treasuring each single note. All 13 songs she sang during the live performance will be included in the DVD.
