Momoclo's Ayaka Sasaki turns 30, releases new song "30 STREET!!!" to move forward in her thirties her own way
Momoiro Clover Z's Ayaka Sasaki celebrated her 30th birthday today, June 11. To commemorate this, her new song "30 STREET!!!" will be released digitally tonight at midnight.
This song, with a title that paraphrases "misoji" (thirties) into English, is a cute and positive track containing the message of "moving forward on the new path of being 30 in her own way." The lyrics and music were written by Kenichi Maeyamada, who has worked on numerous Momoclo songs. The arrangement was handled by Hirotaka Hayakawa, who provides music for FRUITS ZIPPER, CUTIE STREET, and others, and Reo Kawahara, who also works on composition and arrangement for AKB48 and Sakurazaka46. This marks the seventh song Maeyamada has provided for Sasaki, including her first solo song "Datte A-rin Nandamo-n☆" and "A-rin wa A-rin♡," which was produced to commemorate her 20th birthday.
Regarding this song, Maeyamada commented, "I had a meeting with A-rin about the song, but it seems she didn't have anything in particular to say other than the fact that she was turning 30, so I made that kind of song," and "30 years old. Misoji. Translated to English, it's 30 STREET!!! So I asked Mr. Hayakawa to arrange it, and it turned out super KAWAII and it's the best. A huge thanks also to everyone at KAWAII LAB. who gave permission for the lyric homage." Hayakawa also contributed a message, saying, "I'm very honored to be able to arrange a song by a great senior whose songs I have referenced and learned from a lot...!"
In addition, an exhibition event titled "A-rin Museum" has been decided to be held at LIFORK Harajuku in Tokyo from July 31 to Aug. 2. In September, "AYAKA VACATION," a tour traveling to Malaysia with Sasaki, will take place. Furthermore, a solo concert has also been decided to be held at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in Tokyo on Jan. 30, 2027. Along with this information, new artist photos of Sasaki based on the concept of "Idol × Politician" were also released.

I am the happiest music creator in the world
to be able to make a song for A-rin again this time.
I had a meeting with A-rin about the song,
but it seems she didn't have anything in particular to say other than the fact that she was turning 30,
so I made that kind of song.
30 years old. Misoji. Translated to English, it's 30 STREET!!!
So I asked Mr. Hayakawa to arrange it,
and it turned out super KAWAII and it's the best.
A huge thanks also to everyone at KAWAII LAB. who gave permission for the lyric homage.
Please do a lot of calls at the live shows!
And once again,
A-rin, congratulations on 30 STREET!!!

A-rin, who continues to update "cute" and brightens everyone's hearts!!
Congratulations on "30 STREET!!!"!!!!
Her radiance as an idol and her persuasiveness as an expressive artist continue to power up more and more, making her an existence that truly continues to run on the "forefront of cute"...!
I am truly happy to have been able to handle the arrangement for a song by such a special person.
And the composer, Mr. Maeyamada...!
The way he prepares the song's material, the parts to pull back on, how he creates the development, everything had outstanding balance and was truly the strongest.
I'm very honored to be able to arrange a song by a great senior whose songs I have referenced and learned from a lot...!
Once again, truly congratulations on "30 STREET!!!"!!
