Ayaka: Mikazuki Song and Lyrics

When she was twelve years old, she uploaded her first video on YouTube and then received more than 13 million hits. After she performed on the popular American “Oprah Show,” she came to the attention of record producer David Foster, the same producer as Celine Dion. She could then debut and become known in America. The song “Mikazuki” is only available in Japan, but with Charice’s talent the chances are high that it will debut in America as well.
