    Oh, okay! Now it makes sense. I couldn't find any news about it but only on Twitter, so I was really confuse.

    Long story in Forbes (yes, Forbes!) about Umechan, including both her life as an entertainer and as a producer of plum wine.

    Three and a half years since graduating from the AKB48 group. Ayaka Umeda walks, "second life" after leaving the idol

    Currently, Umeda appears as a heroine in the musical “Endless SHOCK 2019” starring Koichi Domoto, held in Umeda, Osaka. In addition, he is also active in the musical and stage setting, such as scheduled to appear in the musical “(Ai Oshiki) My Age” scheduled to be held in Aoyama, Tokyo in November.

    In September of this year, “Umekoi,” a plum wine produced by herself, was sold at the sake line store “KURAND” with the theme of “Umeshu in love with Umeda Ayaka”. Expanding opportunities for success.


    About three and a half years since she finished her idol career. Why is she active in various fields, not just musical and stage? I talked to Umeda.

    I debuted as a member of AKB48 over 10 years ago. It was 2006. The fact that I passed the “AKB48 additional member audition for the 2nd term” was the start of my career as an idol, but I think it was the result of coincidence. When I was little, Morning Musume. “Idols who can sing and dance” such as Ms., DA PUMP, and MAX are prevalent in the world. When I saw them on TV, I wanted to be an idol who can sing and dance.

    I went to a dance school for two years from the age of 14, and then practiced dancing on my own. So I went to audition, but I didn't accept it at all ... Maybe it has fallen about 50 times. If you go to the 2nd term AKB48 additional member audition with no source, "Let's make this last", pass. I knew it was a miracle when I knew it was successful (laughs).

    A month and a half after passing the audition, we made our performance debut as a member of Team K. Then I spent days like rage. I perform 3 performances almost every day, recording programs and performing live. I was very busy, but I think every day was fulfilling.

    The AKB48 group was very blessed and allowed me to experience various jobs such as radio programs, variety programs, and song programs. Based on that, what do I want to do in the future? After thinking about two years, I graduated from the AKB48 group and decided to try what I wanted to do.

    This decision was very courageous and scared at first. I was very scared, but if I continue to be in the AKB48 group like a small performing arts office, I can't change or grow. I thought so, and it was just the 10th anniversary.

    After I graduated from the AKB48 group, I became able to drink alcohol. So I wondered how to produce it myself, and when I asked my friend, “No one is making umeshu around me,” I was connected to “Nakano BC” in Wakayama Prefecture, one of Japan's leading plum wine makers. There was a person who was.

    When actually producing plum wine, I thought it took a lot of time and effort and the cooperation of many people to make one thing, and it was very difficult to achieve zero.

    Once you take a step, you can go ahead and feel like you have to do something, but it is hard to take the first step. The production of “Ume Koi” took about a year since I started saying it, so I felt that it would take so much time.

    However, it was really fun to go to the store in Wakayama and think about the plum wine that I wanted to drink while drinking dozens of types of plum wine (laughs).
