…she is appearing in a stage production put together by her agency, Amuse!
The play is called “Miagereba Ano hi to Onaji Sora,” which loosely (and I mean loosely) translates to “If You Look Up at the Same Sky That Day.” The play takes place in 1945 during WWII. The teasers say something about “protecting someone important.” Since Ayaka is billed as the heroine (and is the only lady in the entire cast), I have a feeling Ayaka is that someone.
The play also stars Soichi Hirama, Kimoto Totani, Shota Matsushima, Takuya Yoshimura, Naoto Ito, Shotaro Kono, Yuichi Tutiya, and Toru Kugasawa. It will run from April 4-15, 2013.
