Check out the Interview below:

- What is your favorite thing about being able to meet fans?
Ayaka Sasaki: I'm looking forward to talking to the fans in English.

Ayaka Sasaki: I love the costume for "Yume no Ukiyo ni Saite Mi na" because it's really Japanese.

- What is your favorite Momoiro song and why?
Ayaka Sasaki: "Hakkin no Yoake." It has a beautiful melodies and lyrics.
