Personal Life
In May 2000, Ishiguro married Shinya Yamada from Japanese rock band Luna Sea while four months pregnant and changed her name to Aya Yamada (山田 亜弥?). The couple have three children: daughters Rimu (玲夢?) (born 2000) and Sona (宙奈?) (born 2002) and son Youta (耀太?) (born 2004).
Ishiguro became a homemaker who dabbled in various careers ranging from fashion designing, writing (she has written a 2004 book about her transition from being an idol to a mother, Kosodate Project), and hosting television shows (where she interviewed celebrity wives). She also re-united with the new Tanpopo members briefly to sing the Grand Symphonic version of the song "Tanpopo".

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasn’t written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Make me thy Loome: thy Grace the warfe therein,
My duties Woofe, and let thy word winde Quills.
The shuttle shoot. Cut off the ends my sins.
Thy Ordinances make my fulling mills,
My Life thy Web: and cloath me all my dayes
With this Gold-web of Glory to thy praise.”
—Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
