Surrounded by pink blossom and dancers performing traditional 'kamigata mai’ (fan dancing), it’s clear Ayana’s Japanese heritage is a big inspiration for this moving performance.

Sugu Aō Ne (‘When I See You Again’) is about missing those close to you and wishing to fly to be with them; a theme close to the singer’s heart as she has not seen her relatives in Japan for a long time because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
