Ayaka Yoshimura (吉村綾花, Yoshimura Ayaka, born September 22, 1990 in Osaka, Osaka Prefecture) is a Japanese former musical performer. She is best known for being a member of the disbanded Japanese idol group SweetS.
Biography
Ayaka Yoshimura began her professional career as a member of the former band SweetS, signed by Avex Trax.[1][2] She was chosen from the Avex Trax 2002 auditions and the group debuted on August 27, 2003. In the autumn of 2005, Ayaka had to take a break from the band as she had to prepare her exams for high school. Ayaka and her fellow SweetS members parted ways on June 7, 2006 when Avex announced that the SweetS would be disbanded.[3]
Upon leaving the SweetS, she attempted to pursue a solo career in singing, fulfilling a dream to sing her own compositions. She signed with the record label Kool Groove Studios and released two EPs and one full album.[4]
She seems to be on a hiatus since the release of her last album as there appears to be no activities both on her official blog and website (as of September 2015).
