"Sayaka Yamamoto will release her first album after graduation as a singer-songwriter on December 25. About one year after graduation, she wrote and composed three singles, and eventually made an album. Looking back on this year of great success, "It was a very high-speed year!"

"At first I was worried that I was alone, but I was fulfilling enough to forget about it. One year has passed. ''

This album, for which she composed all the songs, has 11 songs including 3 singles announced after graduation. Painful love, calm love, passion for dreams ... I can't help empathizing with the lyrics that are full of real feelings at the age of 26."

"My roots are rock. But this work contains songs with a wide range of tastes, such as black music and city pop, so I think it's easy for anyone who didn't know me to listen to it. If you're a guy, umm ... especially the "feel the night" that I made with LUCKY TAPES Umi Takahashi would be recommended for the seasonal sound. It's a song that I think has an adult-like age. "

Long interview in Yahoo. It starts with her 3 girl rock band in 6th grade, but then moves on to NMB48 and her solo career.

"It was bad for the group"-Aya Yamamoto looks back at NMB 48, "Fear" and "26-year-old flowering" faced alone

"Around 2016/17, I felt that being in the group was bad for everyone." Around this time, NMB48 said, "How long will you rely on Sayaka Yamamoto?" She was holding a thesis. I don't think we can go any further than just relying on Yamamoto's popularity. Yamamoto's presence was "too much". And she graduated in 2018.

"When the members started to show their feelings clearly through their live and media," I'm pulling! "I decided to leave with the peace of mind that" the last contribution I can make is to graduate. And " I did. "

Another long story in ModelPress, 12/25 being the release date of her latest album (10 images total).

"Sayaka Yamamoto , who released her 3rd album “α” on December 25, responded to an interview with a model press.

In the interview, she looked back on 2019 as she continued to run and talked about her future prospects and changes in personal life.

-About one year after graduating from the group, three singles, tours, and this album. In the meantime, it seems to be a very active year with appearances at events and festivals, but what if you score yourself?
Yamamoto: About 50 points.

- The reason is?
Yamamoto: The environment and work content have changed drastically in the past year, so I first got used to it and learned how to get going. I was able to release such a lot of works, toured, and participated in events, so I was absorbed in many things, so I became quite aware of it as a singer-songwriter.

Also, since the other person who is conscious of comparing is not a group or idol, it has changed to musicians, so when comparing those people, there are still many things that I do not know and there are many things that I can not reach, so whichever meaning is included I think it is 50 points."

-Your hairstyle has changed so much, right? It looks different every time you see it.
Yamamoto: (laughs). Yes!

-After all, is care too difficult?
Yamamoto: I guess that's the one with stronger hair. There was a good bleach, and once the hair died once (laughs), I'm recovering now. So there's no such thing as "I'm doing this every day."

-I see ... On the other hand, the style hasn't changed.
Yamamoto: No ... it's changed. I haven't been able to move compared to when I was dancing, and now I have to be careful about my meals because of the limitations of using my body."

A 4 page interview in Rolling Stone Japan.

"Aya Yamamoto who appeared at the interview location was clearly different from the last time we met. She looked much more relaxed compared to nine months ago when her expression was so hard that she was worried. She didn't say it clearly, but she saw something fulfilling or reassuring that she was able to achieve a reasonably satisfactory result in the past year.

-Your expression is much softer and your shoulders are weaker than when you met in an interview with other media this spring. Were you nervous at that time?

I think I was. At that time, I hadn't been able to take care of Universal yet, and I hadn't gotten used to the new environment, so I couldn't understand right or left. Now I know a lot.

-How do you think the artist Sayaka Yamamoto has been accepted by the world in the past year?

Well, it feels like wandering between 0 and 1. I haven't been able to tell what kind of music I'm actually doing in the past year, but I think I could get to know that I'm a person who wants to do music. I think it will be important to be able to leave in the hearts of people.

―The album “α” to be released this time is a culmination of the past year. How about listening to this one album?

It's very different from what I envisioned a year ago, and I think it's really interesting because I didn't think I could do so many things. At first I thought that the number of songs based on my roots would increase, but in fact I was on a path that I had never walked at all, and every production I have been doing for the past year has always been Is a challenge, and I always felt fresh."
