She won with the song Mata Sugu Aō Ne, which means ‘When I See You Again’. It is a ballad about missing those close to you and wishing to fly to be with them; a theme close to Ayana’s heart as she has not seen her relatives in Japan for a long time because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The show, presented by Romy Monteiro and Buddy Vedder, saw four acts perform in front of an all star jury, which included: Jeangu Macrooy, Emma Heesters and Rolf Sanchez.
