Smile Bijin: Wada Ayaka

Today is the first post I ever planned before hand.

I am trying to plan my life more, so I made myself some planners and I also try to plan blogposts.

Thing is, this one was planned for yesterday, but anyway!

I wanna talk to you guys about Wada Ayaka, because of several reasons.

One of them is that a lot of fans are saying she is going to graduated soon and the 4th gen auditions for ANGERME are held to fill the gap. 

So let's talk about our beautiful leader Wada Ayaka:

Ayaka is a first generation H!P egg member, which means she has been part of Hello!Pro for 11 years. In 2008 she was choosen to be part of Shugo Chara Egg! She participated in two single and in two b-sides for Guardians 4. In 2009 it was announced Ayaka would be part of a new group, that would be working towards their debut. She and three other (Maeda Yuuka, Fukuda Kanon and Ogawa Saki) formed S/mileage and Ayaka was appointed leader. 

S/mileage released 4 indies singles and worked really hard to be able to debut.

And their debut happend with Yume Miru 15sai. Fans noted that Ayaka got the least lines of the members. Well I guess management prefered Yuuka and Saki (even Kanon), because their vocals were more stable and reliable during lives. 

In my opinion Ayaka was the weaker vocal back then and even now she isn't amazing. When she hits her notes right she sounds Awsome, but when she doesn't, urgh. 

Anyway, in this line up they release quite a few singles and Ayaka did her work as leader. The group bonds were strong (they had been togheter for years). So when the 2nd gen was introduced, it must have felt like a slap in the face. Wheren't they enough? Didn't they work hard? 

It was no wonder the girls didn't really like the new members or be happy. They had been working so hard and now there were new member needed to keep them interesting? 

It must have been hard for the leader to see her group change and we all know what happend next. 2 founding members (Saki and Yuuka) left and one of the newbies had to leave due to health issues (Fuyuka). It was up to Ayacho to keep the group togheter and she made it work. 

S/mileage went through a hard time, being scolded by staff and Tsunku (even public on youtube..).

But as everything started to get better Ayaka and Kanon decided it was time to change the group. A new name and member would give the group what it needed and opened the doors for them to leave.

Fans speculated who would be leaving soon: The leader who is the oldest or Cinderella who has been losing her touch with magic. As you all know it was the latter. I wrote about our Cinderella some time ago. 

As for Ayaka, she has been not only busy with S/mileage and Angerme, but also with school. Ayaka is majoring in Art at the university and has had her own Art corner and released a book!

Ayaka might not be the best singer or dancer, but she is an amazing photomodel. If I want someone to release photobooks every year (maybe more) it's her. She is so beautiful. She can really make every picture work in her favore. She is delicate, elegant, but also sexy and cute.

I wonder if Dawa is going to graduated soon. For as long as I have been a fan of H!P, new member usually mean that graduations are not far away. I mean:

9th gen= Takahashi Ai

10th gen= Niigaki Risa

11th gen= Tanaka Reina

12th gen= Michishige Sayumi'

It was obviouse that in S/mileage it kinda was the same case:

2nd gen= Saki and Yuuka

3rd gen= Kanon

But this is only my observation. I would hate to see Ayaka go, but I guess when Kanon leaves she is next in line. Or one of the 2nd gen members wants to go first. 

Ayaka seems to be enjoying herself in ANGERME and now that they get their first official Hall Tour.. She seems to really enjoy leading this group and preforming with it. But it wouldn't suprise me if she would announce her graduated in 2016. She and Kanon changed S/mileage because they couldn't leave it, S/mileage was their treasure, 4-nin's treasure and they kinda want it to stay that way.

So ANGERME was born and it was 9-nin's thing. So I guess graduation does hang in the air.

For now we have Kanyon's graduation coming up and it will be an emotional time. 

Ayaka and Kanon have been togheter for many many years and it will be a tearful goodbye.

So let's support our beautiful leader and hope she won't be going soon, cause we need lots and lots more photobooks! Hihi
