Now, she represents feeling and soul within her songs, no matter whether she sings in English or Japanese. After her marriage, she moved to the United States and was discovered and sponsored by Earl \"Fatha\" Hines. She found enthusiastic fans touring San Francisco, Las Vegas, Montreal, and lots of places in California, performing in clubs, local radio stations, or on TV. In the '80s, she started a roving life between the United States and Japan. Due to her recordings for TBM and performances for radio stations and on TV, she became one of the best-known pop and jazz singers throughout her country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacked by a terrific band, Ayako tackles some of the most memorable jazz standards of all time on the 1977 release To Mr. Wonderful.
