On February 14th, S/mileage leader Wada Ayaka held a release event for her second photo book, "aya", at the Fukuya Bookstore in Shinjuku Subnade.

Wada shared that she visited Okinawa for the first time for this shoot. "I wasn't embarrassed about shooting in a swimsuit, I was happy that I got to go in the water in November," she commented. Wada also challenged herself to make Okinawa soba, "I'm not very good at cooking, but I think it came out really good."

When reporters asked, "Who do you want to give 'honmei choco' to?", Wada replied, "Leonardo da Vinci, if he was still alive. When it comes to pictures, I like other artists, but I think he's a genius and is wonderful in many ways!"
