Ayaka Hirahara (born May 9, 1984 in Tokyo, Japan) is a singer, saxophonist and radio DJ.
Ayaka Hirahara, one mouth is a voice that makes people feel different, the bass is thick and magnetic, the treble is rounded, and the scene is extremely stable.
Her grandfather was the pioneer of Japanese jazz, Mitsumi Hirayama, and her father was the saxophonist Makoto Hirahara, so Ayaka Hirahara grew up with the influence of music. From the age of 6 until the age of 17, he studied classical ballet and piano at the Matsuyama Ballet. This led her to discover her extreme thirst for music.
On December 17, 2003, Ayaka Hirahara, who was still a freshman in college, debuted with the single "Jupiter". Adapted from Chapter 4 of Gustav Holst's Planet suite, Jupiter – The Messenger of Joy, the song was only broadcast on radio when it was first released, but the song's popularity continued to rise, earning 700,000 sales in 2004.

Are you ready for everything? Ready to be called anywhere? Just as you responded to the call to come to this material world, the situation of being alone in this life is not lonely or bad, but in this loneliness, you can avoid the invasion of too much collective consciousness.
Ayaka Hirahara is a friend of Hisaishi Jean, and she is a singer recommended by Hisaishi Jean. In the 2008 concert "Hisaishi Jean at Budokan ~ 25 Years with Miyazaki Hayao Animation", Hisaishi let the piano accompaniment, and Ayaka Hirahara sang the "Spirited Away" episode "One Summer's Day".

It is worth mentioning that in this scene, Ayaka Hirahara did not wear an ear return. And her clean ponytail, as beautiful as music, was the wind that blew in the old ghost's heart that summer.
Finally, Makoto, this is one of my favorite lines from the movie Spirited Away.
Don't eat too fat, you will be killed
