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 and/or life:
“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice. But in Black Hawk the scene of human life was spread out shrunken and pinched, frozen down to the bare stalk.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
