Ayaka made her debut in 2006 with the release of “I believe,” but the following year she developed Graves’ disease.
She kept this private and continued her activities until the announcement of her marriage to Hiro Mizushima in 2009.
She then went on an indefinite hiatus, and the last song she released before the break was her 10th single, “Minna no Sora no Shita.” When you’re ill, it’s easy to fall into negative thoughts.
But even at times like that, listening to this song brings a gentle sense of hope, as if light is shining through no matter what.
It’s a song I highly recommend as a gift of encouraging words for anyone facing the uncertainty of illness.

It transforms the anxiety of being apart into the hope that you’re still connected, even when far away.
Why not share your feelings with that special someone, even if they’re miles apart?
