Ohh I like Ayaya's fun bouncy songs.
Ayays does not pretend to be cute she is cute. She does not go around saying that she is cute like sayumi. That act has gone on for way too long. There are hp singers that I won't name that have high pitched voices that annoy me.
If aya was a mm member or former mm member there would be less complaints about her.
Waaaah, ayaya is soo cute! ^_^
Do we even have Ayaya fans?!?!
i didn't know there were friends !
Tettekete, if you have the vid so pleaaase upload it if you can :)

Yeah, but we're all to busy with Ayaya. ;)
Okay, just wondering, do you guys think Ayaya's unwilling to work with other H!P girls? o_o

Meh, all the Ayaya hate is focused on the fact that she doesn't like to work with other people..
Quote from: MalicielMeh, all the Ayaya hate is focused on the fact that she doesn't like to work with other people..
I think the majority of people have a problem with her personality because her fakeness is so obvious compared to the other girls. But I don't really mind it as long as she's entertaining.

I agree.
I like Matsuura and all, I do think she's entertaining, a great performer and funny, but the fakeness she gives off on camera is a bit too much sometimes. plus, maybe the fact that the other members (like Miki) did admit she was a very vain person? but that last one doesn't bother too much.
and hey, Aya knows that she rakes in big bucks for H!P and the whole company just wouldn't be the same without her. that's got to get to your head at some point...
Hrm, I used to agree with this, but I honestly no longer see any fakeness in her on camera personality. She does have a fake laugh that comes out from time to time, but the majority of the time she comes off as very genuine to me. More so than Rika or Sayumi, at least.
Only 3 songs? >_>

It was announced in February 2006 that a new film adaptation was underway. It will star Matsuura Aya as the lead role, with Ishikawa Rika cast as her rival. The movie is scheduled to be released in fall of 2006, and will have the official English title of "Yo-Yo Girl Cop"
Then came Matsuura Aya.
She was supposed to be chosen in an audition, but the truth is she had already passed before she even audition.
See, she has the same birthday as the boss. And the same blood type too. He probably took one look at her profile and thought "This must be a miracle! I must choose her."
And by total accident a star was born.
Showbiz is like that.
Hard work isn't ever rewarded.
Ayaya's Debut has a conspracy theory. This dude (http://www.hanabatakebokujo.com/farm/tsushin.html) is a UFA employee and this is his blog.
i think the short hair makes her look too young? so it doesnt quite fit her? i eman seriously.. shes like 20.. needs a more mature haircut..Yeah, she definitely needs a style that makes her look mature especially now that her whole image is mature.
man.. i wna see her new movie as well.. the one with her holding a yoyo and fire surrounding her.. anyone get any updates on it?You should check out these threads for Sukeban Deka info:

i like aya
The retail release should have english subtitles since the movie is getting released overseas too. Too bad we gotta wait for like 6 months for the DVD release :evil:
6 months????? are you serious.. even though i know you're probably right.. but that pisses me off.. :evil: so we wont get the DVD till like next year...:(
bummer..
I'm not sure how fast movies get released on DVD in Japan but here it takes like 4-6 months. Like for example Revenge Of The Sith opened in May and the DVD was released in November. Anyway waiting sucks :evil:
well i actually live in australia.. dont know if that makes a difference??? AHAHAH.. now im being desperate.. being in australia will probably make me wait LONGER!! :(I hope there's gonna be some kinda bootleg copy of it before the actual DVD comes out. I wanna see the movie so bad :evil:
sigh.. i'll go to HK and buy pirated copies i think..
I hope there's gonna be some kinda bootleg copy of it before the actual DVD comes out. I wanna see the movie so bad :evil:
Ayaya beating up people + Viyuden girls as bad guys = PURE GOLD
Sukeban Deka's gonna be the greatest movie ever :D
BTW have you seen the trailer? It looks pretty damn cool.
uhh i watched like half of the trailer.. i went to the site that was posted earlier but the damn thing only loaded half way?? :doh: i might try again soon..Yeah, Rika is playing Ayaya's rival and Yui and Erika are a part of her gang. So there's gonna be a huge showdown between Rika and Ayaya :twisted:
anways.. the v-u-den girls are in it? so rika is in it? playing the bad guys!!? OOOOOO.. do they use yo-yos too? ahaha or some other toy.. hehe this just makes me wna see it more!! :D

Congrats on your 100th post! :w00t:
Yeah, Rika is playing Ayaya's rival and Yui and Erika are a part of her gang. So there's gonna be a huge showdown between Rika and Ayaya :twisted:
Rika's definitely gonna use a yo-yo. She said on her radio show that she used to practice like everyday and carry a yo-yo everywhere she went before the shooting started. She also showed off her yo-yo skills on Domoto Kyodai:

rika with a yoyo is also hot!!Word. Even though this is an Aya thread I still gotta give some love to Rika :heart:
from the trailors I'm thinking that rika and the gang aren't gonna be actual bad guys but more like "troubled youth" or something like that. I'm pretty sure there's gonna be something bigger going against the yoyo girl cop. There'll probably still be some kinda hot showdown between rika and ayaya though.
next they gna make a sequel where they all become friends and start a yoyo cop academy where they recruit nono and aibon :D
do those glasses have lenses? ahahaha.. and you're right.. shes very hot!! even without the glasses =]
Ayaya looks super hot when she's angry and serious. She can beat me up any day :oops:

Man that is one hot outfit, and damn is that one awesome performance. Sorry about the lack of closeups, she was moving too much so most were blurry and when she wasn't moving the camera was far away :lol:
In the interview they had Aya send herself a message for 5 years later and she asked herself if she was "properly studying to become a manager". Apparently a fortune teller told her that she'll be a female shacho in an mainly female office (ie manager/president) by the age of 40. Could Ayaya become the next Hamasaki Ayumi and wrestle control of h!p from Tsunku? I think so, and I want to see it happen. I think it's a very admirable goal, Ayaya. がんばれ!!
Sure she will !!! Oh man, I will remember that PopJam perf as one of her best. Good outfit indeed :D
wow.. just watched ayaya's solo sportsfest vid.. the bit with the yoyo.. she can actually do cool stuff with it.. i heard she practiced really hard for sukeban deka.. but she was awesome.. she made it go UP o.O!!! :bow:
Okay, it's either Aya's gained a little weight or Miki's gotten tons skinnier because Aya's starting to look "big" whenever she stands next to her :oDo you say this because the H!M perf? Because it's what I thought too :confused: I think it's the perf view 16:9 itself lol Miki is already more tiny than Aya. And her hairdo... it's not helping but making a chuby face. I think it's all our eyes. She's hotto hotto. More Ayaya to hug :heart:

More Ayaya to hug :heart:It's also evident in the GAM PV, but not so much as compared to the H!M performance. I know in other countries (most especially Western ones), Aya would be the one considered skinny, but when she looks "big" next to Miki...now you kind of have to be worried for Miki.
I agree,she looks much whiter too,Aya's never actually been "tan" though, she's had very fair skin ever since, unlike Miki.
Really?
i thought it was Miki who was dark
^ I believe it was the behind the scenes footage of a CM shoot for Suzuki Let's4 and Pallet scooters.
She's hotto hotto. More Ayaya to hug :heart:
In it she answers a question about how she bathes, and she describes the way she does it!Before all the pervs start dropping trou, she was just asked whether she washes herself from the top and going to her feet or starting from her feet and going up. :lol: Apparently she was taught to start at her neck and work her way down to her feet.
I still haven't seen Otona no Namida... was a dvd rip of it shared anywhere... I think I've only seen iso's >_>
The birth of "Ayaya" :D
I’m completely under her spell!
(Good thing she and Miki are best friends otherwise I’d be in BIG trouble XD )
Tonight I had a dream I was reading this forum... XD And found out Aya was releasing dearest. as an a-single in May, 2007, with many remixes. All my comments were "Woo, too long..." XD
Me, too!! :inlove: I actually didn't really start noticing Ayaya too much until GAM... I had seen her in GOMATTOU with Miki and Gocchin, but I was too much a Gocchin fan to really pay attention at that time XD LOL Now I think I'm much more a Miki/Ayaya fan than anything, although I will always hold a place in my heart for both Maki and Rika :heart: I recently dl-ed all of Ayaya's albums previous to her Best 1 and she's got some really great songs all on her own! I am proud to be an Ayaya fan now^^ :heart:

^ Oh please, please let it be soon :drool:Check the Aya pic thread dude. :yep:
Matsuura Aya's first appearance in hotexpress! When she debuted everything was so much fun that she couldn't help it and when she was 18 she was almost about to be destroyed by the "Ayaya image" she had ended up creating herself. Swallowing the buds of her ego and her intentions of becoming an artist, she has struggled on to "Kizuna". She wants to be true to herself. Please have a look at this interview overflowing with the humaneness of this girl.
--Actually I've been observing Matsuura Aya's wonderful power of expression ever since the time of your debut and seeing you perform songs like "Dokidoki! LOVE mail", "Tropical Koi shiteru" etc. while fully enjoying it yourself, I thought "She's no ordinary person...". I thought "How can she be so full of self-confidence even though she's a newcomer?". (lol) How did you actually feel at the time of your debut?
Matsuura Aya: I enjoyed myself! Really. However I think I could truly enjoy it only in the 2, 3 years after my debut. I didn't know anything yet so I was happy with it being fun alone. But when I became older and reached the second half of my teenage years, I've come to understand that every single thing I do affects so many people from the staff and that so much time gets wasted because of it. And when I understood that, I started thinking about many other things, but in the beginning it was all fun because I didn't know anything.
--You were seen as the "representative of idols" at a pretty early stage already, right? I had the feeling you were delighted about it from the bottom of your heart. I thought "How much does she like herself?". (lol)
Matsuura Aya: I really loved myself! Ahahaha! No doubt about that. (lol) But I was surprised at the same time. I couldn't help but feel strange when I watched my pvs and saw myself on the TV screen. I couldn't calm down because I kept thinking "I'm on TV!", but I was really, simply happy about it. The more people were supporting me, the more I got fired up.
Now I'm able to get directly into the right mood like I'm switching it on and off, but at the time of my debut I didn't know anything like that, so for the shooting of a promotion video for example, I didn't go in front of the camera until I got into the 100% right mood for it. And when I finally went in front of the camera, I wasn't happy about how the video turned out. Because of that it used to happen often that we had to wait until I got into the right mood. But that also means that I was always 100% into it when I was on screen.
--When you got into such a situation at the age of 14, 15, when you were extremely busy and lots of things kept moving hecticly, wasn't it difficult for you?
Matsuura Aya: It happens at least once in 2, 3 years. Now it's been 8 years since my debut and it's happened about 3 times. I felt pressured, I didn't understand myself very well anymore and many other things happened, but the biggest inner conflict I had was exactly when I turned 18. I was really so busy all the time that my first break was one and a half years after my debut. And since really everything I did was new to me, I didn't have any time to look back. I didn't even have any time to watch the TV shows I took part in because I was already working on something else. But when I turned 18 I looked back for the first time. Looked back at myself.
That's when I noticed it. I had gotten used to being called "idol" and the job wasn't easy at all, but I had become able to act like I was smiling from the bottom of my heart even if it wasn't from the bottom of my heart. My face muscles had memorized how to make the face I call "my best face" and I had become able to smile even if I didn't feel like it. And when I was looking at pictures of myself, it looked like I was making the same face in every picture. When I felt like "?" towards that kind of myself, somehow everything stopped for a moment. I ended up feeling that I was like a doll. I thought "It's not good like this!" and "I have to act and say things upon my own emotions!".
It's not like I had a manual for it, but I felt that I had come all that way only making proper, harmless and inoffensive comments. I thought "But it doesn't have to be like that. It's ok to say things that are more humane.". (she means saying wrong, impolite or even offensive things) That's how I've come to think "I want to be true to myself, I want to be honest" at the age of 18. Since then I tried talking the way I felt like talking even in concert MCs. I didn't know how others would react to it, but I still wanted to try speaking honestly. When I did that the reaction of the audience was even better than usual. The staff liked it too. That means I was the one locking up myself in a shell on my own. That's what I realized. And I could overcome it.
--You've probably come all this way trying your best to keep the "Ayaya image" that you unintentionally created at the time of your debut.
Matsuura Aya: That's right. I've always observed myself from an objective point of view. Seeing "Ayaya" from an objective point of view, I thought to myself "Ayaya has to be like this!" and formed her the way I wanted her to be. And that was wrong.
--I'm sure there were many fans who thought Ayaya would always love and continue singing songs like "Momoiro Kataomoi", "Yeah! Meccha holiday" etc. which have many factors typically for idols and entertainment. But recently you've started releasing songs targeted at a wider range of audience.
Matsuura Aya: That's right. If you ask me why I've entered this world, I'd answer that it's because I wanted to sing. Normally people who listen to music do it because of a person they admire or because they are fascinated by the lyrics. It's the same for artists too. I always pay attention to the lyrics when I listen to music. And when you listen to "Yeah! Meccha Holiday" for example, don't you think "What the heck's that song about!?"? (lol) Songs like that have a very catchy melody, but I wanted to sing songs that you can sing no matter how many years pass, even after 10, 20 years, songs that contain lyrics everyone can relate to. That's why I started singing songs like my current single "Kizuna" and the previous one "Egao".
--I've actually believed that you'd overcome the status of an idol and become active as the artist Matsuura Aya one day. The first time I felt that way was when I watched the movie "Ao no Honou" which was shown in 2003. I'm sure playing the role of someone whose loved person turns into a murderer was difficult, but you completely turned into that role when you were acting, right?
Matsuura Aya: The same was true for everyone around me. Director Ninagawa Yukio never gives an OK unless you're totally into the role. The scenes where I appear in were filmed a lot later than the ones with Nino (Kazunari Ninomiya), but still I entered the set before it and studied by observation etc. That way I got to know the way everything works on the set. And since it was my first movie, I thought "I want to make it a good movie", "I want to do everything I can 100%", so I created the role in my mind on my own. The director didn't give me any directions at all. It felt like he was thinking "I don't understand young people nowadays anyway, so I'll leave it to Ayaya and Nino. You can change the lines too, just play the roles the way you want. And teach me how kids nowadays think." and I thought that I have to properly live up to his expectations. That's why I always discussed everything with Nino. The director rarely allowed a second take, so we had to do everything right and get an OK at first try. (lol) But I'm glad that I met Ninagawa-san through that movie.
--You've worked again as an actress several times after that. Do you feel the same kind of satisfaction as when singing?
Matsuura Aya: I do. There's a lot you learn from theater and musicals too. The way to speak for example, also how to put your feelings into acting. You can learn all that from observing the actors and actresses around you. There's something to learn every time.
--Also, I forgot the name of the show, but if I'm not mistaken you performed in a NHK music show with a jazz band in back, right?
Matsuura Aya: It was Momoi-san's show!
--When I watched that show, I thought that you might have discovered the desire to explore more artistic, deeper levels of music.
Matsuura Aya: First of all, I like live sounds. It's the same with my voice and with music instruments. The pleasant feeling you get at the moment when the sounds of the instruments come together is awesome. I really love that groove and that sense of unity as if everyone was doing something together while holding hands. I got to know the fun of that in such a setting as the one in Momoi-san's show. I strongly thought "Ah, I want to become such an artist!".
--It's the same with your movies and your singing with a live band. Whenever you had the chance to do something different, something you haven't done before, you've always made use of it, right?
Matsuura Aya: That's right. I think "I always want to keep on challenging myself". I don't like creating a wall on my own by saying "This is impossible" right from the start. If you try to do it and fail, you can't help it, but I'm the type to think "Let's just try to do it first!". I like that kind of thrill. I think that a life where everyday is an exciting adventure is more suited for me than a stable one. I tend to get tired of something once I get used to it.
--"Kizuna" is your new song. After listening to this song I wanted to ask you about something. What kind of message does Matsuura Aya want to convey to the listeners through this song?
Matsuura Aya: Of course I'm not targeting a specific generation, but I want the generation of parents, the generation of people who have children to see that "we think about a lot of things too, even though you might not expect it". The people around me who are about as old as I am are all level-headed and think about various things. We're not just playing around doing nothing. In this industry your age doesn't matter and even if it's two people who could be parent and child according to their age, they still talk with each other as two adults, so I thought it would be good if the whole world was like that too. I'm sure there are actually lots of children who have built their own opinion about many things, but can't express them because grown-ups look down on them thinking "It's only a child". That's what I want you to feel when listening to my songs.
Another thing I wanted to tell children though "Kizuna" is that "you are not alone". It was the same for me, but when you're 18 or 19, you feel like a tragic heroine when you're worried about something or feeling down. Like "I'm the only one who's in pain.", "Everyone else are enemies.". But it's actually not like that. Whatever you do you're always being supported by someone. We have to make ourselves aware of the fact again that "we're only alive because someone was there for us". I'd like this to be conveyed through the song.
--But you need persuasive power for that because nothing can be conveyed if the listeners think "How does singing about stuff like that help?". You have to overcome this hurdle.
Matsuura Aya: Yeah. I wouldn't be able to sing it if I hadn't experienced it myself. I wanted to sing this song because I thought that I understand the lyrics. Earlier you mentioned about how I've done everything with a lot of energy at the time around my debut, but it was really like that. No matter if it was a song about love or something greater like in this one, I had no choice but to sing it with the help of my imagination which were sometimes delusions because I didn't have any experiences myself. Now 8 years after my debut I've gained some experience in life even if only little. I've come into contact with many different people, listened to their talk, observed them and now I can finally sing songs as if it were my own words. I think that was a big change in the sense of "conveying something to people". When I think "Ah, I've come to understand this feeling!", "I've also experienced this!", I can properly put my feelings into the words I'm singing.
--Is it that the more you sing your new song "Kizuna" the more perfect and ideal your performance becomes?
Matsuura Aya: That's right. Every time I sing it I feel different inside. I can't sing it exactly the same way twice. I sing the words differently depending on the day. That's why I can enjoy singing it.
--In addition to singing about the negative parts of life and the situation the world is in, you also pray for happiness and say the words of gratitude again and again. I think that's the kind of song "Kizuna" is, but do you sometimes think or feel the way like described in the lyrics of this song in everyday life too?
Matsuura Aya: After watching bad news, I think seriously about many different things. Also, it's the same when you're having a normal life too, you actually don't say "Thank you" as often as you'd think. Maybe you often don't say it to very close people either. I sometimes really wonder if I said my thanks to my family recently. However, everytime I sing this song it reminds me that I should say thanks. I mean these words make me really happy when someone tells it them me too. The song "Kizuna" really made me think about many different things.
--It's a very common question, but at what kind of times do you strongly feel the importance of "bonds"?
Matsuura Aya: For example the bonds between me and my family, people from the staff and other people who are close to me can only be deepened when I talk a lot with them or discuss something until we come to an agreement, right? And if we assume that I can switch between on and off, there are people who know the "off" me. I know how to deepen my bonds with people like that, but my fans, if I were to put it clearly, only know the "on" me, right? Nevertheless they all support me from the bottom of their hearts and tell me that they'll follow me no matter what happens. I think there's no stronger bond than that! As for me I tend to be suspicious of people when I meet them for the first time. I think "What kind of person is he/she? What are his/her intentions?" and I'm the type who doesn't trust others easily. It's because I'm very timid and I don't want to be hurt. (lol) Compared to that, my fans all support me 100% from the bottom of their hearts. I think that kind of bond is amazing. And that makes me really think "Thank you". If someone asked me if I could do the same for someone else, I'd be in trouble.
--You can strongly feel those bonds at the "Matsuura Aya Concert Tour 2008 Spring 'AYA The Witch'" which is currently being praised highly. Can you tell us about the content of the tour?
Matsuura Aya: This time I perform all of it with a full live band which I always wanted to do. So the "Let's all create a groove together!" and "Let's all become one!" emotions all depend on me this time. That's why I learn a lot from this. It's a challenge too. I'm having a lot of fun. Basically it's 2 performances on a day, day and night, so I keep telling myself that I have to pace myself, but everytime I end up completely exhausted. You don't notice it at all when you're standing on stage, but after changing my clothes I notice how exhausted I am. My body is always honest. (lol) But when I'm asked if I can pull off the 2nd performance, I can somehow do it. I think the calls of my fans are amazing after all. They raise the tension so high that even I can't control it anymore.
--Does that mean that you absolutely love live concerts?
Matsuura Aya: I love them! I love live concerts the most! I like musicals and stuff too, but in concerts I can stay as Matsuura Aya. I love talking too, but I can be most honest when I'm singing, even more than when I'm talking. When you're talking you keep thinking about things like "I want to make it sound interesting", "I want to word it nicely" etc. That's why I think I can be myself the most when I'm singing and I want many people to see my real self.
--Well then, this will be my last question. Matsuura Aya, what kind of artist do you want to become in the future?
Matsuura Aya: I've only recently become able to even think about it, but I'd really like to write my own lyrics. Once I became impatient thinking "Isn't it soon time for me to do it?" though. Was it around the time when I became 20? Just when I was worrying about that, Yuming-san asked me to be a guest in her radio show and I consulted her about it. I asked her "Isn't it time for me to start writing lyrics?". Then she said "It's best to write lyrics when you really feel like it.", "Actually there's nothing more difficult than understanding and expressing lyrics someone else wrote.". That helped me stop being so impatient about it. But in the last 1, 2 years I thought "If I write the lyrics myself, I can probably put even more emotions into them" and "It might be good if I put my own experiences into words" and started writing a bit. But I'm still a bit too ashamed. It feels like someone's reading your diary and since I write everything exactly the way I feel about it, I can't word it beautifully. (lol) But when I'm satisfied with them, I think it'd be nice if I can release a song with self-written lyrics in the near future.

EDIT: For anyone not in the know, the musical that Aya's starring in ("Honki de Only You") has begun it's theatrical run. Reviews have been popping up on JNews TV reports, as well as in the papers, including photos such as the following, which shows her innate, uncanny ability to "convert" the other female cast members.

Argh I know that songs going to get stuck in my head now. :lol:I watched them once each and before I knew it, I was whisting the song while washing dishes. XD But at least it's not a crappy song.
Though the real question everyone should be asking is, how did she hit her left foot? Perhaps Miki was a little too adventurous with Miki that night? :twisted: Could make good fanfic material :lol:Couldn't have said it better myself. :rockon:

Is that hair really as short as it appears? Or is it some sort of updo?
I think it's an updo, but it is kind of hard to tell.It's not an updo. She cut her hair. The new 'do was debuted on this past weekend's ep of Meringue no Kimochi:

While I'm the first to admit I think longer hair is sexier, IMO this looks rather nice on her.
i d/l'ed the unsubed one and couldnt find Aya anywhere..anybody know what time she's in it?As has been already stated, she only has a few scenes in this first ep. Her main scenes are within the first 5 minutes of the ep, and then just after the 50 minute mark near the end.
I like to see her new look!

Aya's Blog (http://blog.oricon.co.jp/ayablog/)
she wrote in her first post that she will stop doing tours for 2 or 3 years because she want to focus in recording new songs :shocked:And of course, 2ch has been running rampant with rumours once this news broke out. XD
So that means her next tour this fall "Omoi Afurete" will be the last one for a while :(
According to Kuno on HO Aya mentioned in today's 5 Stars that she will be leaving the show this month. Which would of course mean that next week's episode will be her last.I'm guessing this is probably the specific entry that mentions it, since it actually has the words "FIVE STARS" in the entry itself.

Oh, and quite an honor that Jphip has picked up the Matsuurian Twitter :)
I'm guessing the "188" on her jersey is significant in some way? Perhaps another one of those Japanese things where numbers represent letters/syllables (like how "07" is for "Reina")? :?I was wondering that myself; it almost looks like they were going for "Ayaya" (the dual 8s could be pronounced as "yaya"), but the "1" is the odd man out because in that system (apparently called goroawase (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_wordplay#Goroawase), which I did not know until I just looked it up) that would more than likely be pronounced "hi" or "i" (as there is no "a" analogue). "Iyaya"?

A is the first letter in the alphabet, so maybe that's how they got it. I dunno. :PAh there you go (I was wondering if they were going for "Ayaya" with it). The double 8 was what had me stumped, though I did guess that the "1" was because "A" is the first letter of the alphabet. :)

XD Plus it would've gone well with her already weird taste in clothes. ;)(http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/th_246402819.jpg) (http://s448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/?action=view¤t=246402819.jpg)(http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/th_GAM792.jpg) (http://s448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/?action=view¤t=GAM792.jpg)(http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/th_o0426064011069271188.png) (http://s448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/?action=view¤t=o0426064011069271188.png)(http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/th_GAM793.png) (http://s448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/?action=view¤t=GAM793.png)(http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/th_GAM794.png) (http://s448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/?action=view¤t=GAM794.png)(http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/th_GAM795.jpg) (http://s448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/Afro_Stud/Blog/2011/02/23/?action=view¤t=GAM795.jpg)
Matsuura Aya stars in Kansai-region drama special “Sakura to Satsuki”TOKYOGRAPH ARTICLE - http://www.tokyograph.com/news/matsuura-aya-stars-in-kansai-region-drama-special-sakura-to-satsuki (http://www.tokyograph.com/news/matsuura-aya-stars-in-kansai-region-drama-special-sakura-to-satsuki)

Matsuura Aya (24) is starring in a drama special called “Sakura to Satsuki,” scheduled to air late at night on April 1 on the local Kansai station ABC TV.
The drama was shot in the Kansai area and features an all-Kansai cast. Matsuura – who is originally from Himeji, Hyogo – will play a truck driver and former yankee named Sakura, speaking in Banshu-ben (a regional dialect of Kansai-ben). Trouble arises when she finds out that her good friend and former co-worker Satsuki (Hamaguchi Junko) is engaged to her ex-boyfriend Yuji (Hashimoto Jun).
The cast is rounded out by comedian Kobayashi Kotaro (of Choplin), Ina Kenji, Tokuda Naomi, and Oura Ai.
Matsuura will also sing in Banshu-ben for the theme song, titled “Futari Osaka,” which she wrote specifically for the show.
The official website (http://asahi.co.jp/sakura_satsuki/) has a trailer and will be updated with 5 “spin-off drama” episodes. Viewers can put together the Japanese characters shown at the end of each episode to form a keyword, qualifying them to enter in a lottery to win one of five 10,000 yen gift certificates. Those episodes are planned to start on the morning of March 25.
Aya looks like a delicious exception to the trucker stereotype. :drool:I'm hoping that they play that up and have some fun with that fact in the episodes. A "young, cute, female" truck driver isn't exactly something that one sees on a regular basis, after all.
New song???

Looks like it's a tie-in with the drama she's in.

Yaaay! Happy 25th birthday to Ayaya!
You didn't all forget, did you?
You didn't all forget, did you?I remembered, but I celebrated by listening to her music and ended up falling asleep...OH SNAP! :P Nah, I shouldn't say that, she's still an awesome singer and I hope she keeps making new music (I actually really like some of her later work).
Ayaya may retire to settle down her life (http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/08/matsuura-aya-to-retire-and-settle-down-with-w-inds-s-tachibana-keita/)(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip00370.jpeg) (http://nooooooooooooooo.com)
I had no idea she had a boyfriend, let alone one for a while now.The rumors about Aya and Tachibana have been going on for years. Officially, the management groups of both sides have almost always been "No they're not." Aya and Tachibana themselves however, would usually just dance around the issue or just be "no comment" if the issue was ever brought up in interviews. With all of the rumoured sightings of them though (and this is an Aya fanboy saying this), it's really always been pretty obvious that they really were and have been a couple all of this time.
To all you fans, thank you for your constant support.I think it's great that she wants to continue on despite the condition while bringing more awareness of it. Her health comes first, so I hope she can still handle everything well. 頑張って亜弥ちゃん!
I have something I would like to share with you.
This has been going on for about 4 years now. Every now and then, while in my every day routine, I would get stomach pains. After consulting with a physician, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. Upon discussing with my staff, I decided in 2009 to take a “2-3 year break from doing concerts”.
I continued to do research on my own and found that there are many others just like me who are suffering from the same condition. However, I found out that instead of treating the condition, they just ignore it and allow the condition to worsen. I hope that by sharing this I can help inform a lot of other women about this condition. If you are worried about the possibility of this at all, I highly recommend that you visit the hospital as soon as possible.
For me, these types of personal problems are a very delicate matter, so only people really close to me have known about this throughout my years of activity, however this year marks the 10th anniversary of my debut and is an important year for me and my fans. Despite hearing what everyone had to say, I can’t just stop everything though! Right ♥ So I will do my best to continue my activities without pushing myself too hard.
I apologize for making my fans worry.
I hope you can understand and please continue to support me from here on just like before.
Matsuura Aya
Could I get the password for the .rar files?It's the name of the archives that has the DDLs. :)
Oh wow! Congratulations Ayaya!
Hmmm, so both Aya and Miki married to guys. I dunno, I just get the feeling that this is a reverse Brokeback Mountain situation. Both 'content' in their marriages but once a year or so the pair of them hook up somewhere in the countryside and screw each other's brains out like the true lovers they are. Least that's what I feel XD
Still don't believe the news sites? Here's the official statement from Ayaway:

Announcement from Matsuura AyaLINK - http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?/topic/2761-matsuura-aya-%E6%9D%BE%E6%B5%A6%E4%BA%9C%E5%BC%A5/page-529#entry1678405 (http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?/topic/2761-matsuura-aya-%E6%9D%BE%E6%B5%A6%E4%BA%9C%E5%BC%A5/page-529#entry1678405)
My apologies for neglecting to be in contact with you all for such a long time.
This is Matsuura Aya.
I have a personal announcement to make.
Today, August 4th, me and my long-time acquaintance, Tachibana Keita, have registered our marriage.
There have been several news reports about our association up until now, but we had chosen the right timing for our marriage so as to not cause any trouble to either my fans or any of the parties involved with me. I'm sorry for not having been able to properly report this to you until now.
This Winter, I'll have known him for 12 years.
He has been with me through my entire youth.
The sad times, the difficult times, the happy times and the fun times -- all of it.
To this day I feel happy to be spending my days with him, and now we would like to build a new happiness by becoming a family and having our own home.
I'm still a complete beginner, but in order to support this stoic and hard-working man from Kyushu, I'm going to be diligent in becoming an at times strong and at times sweet, reliable woman.
From now on, I will also be more proactive with my own work as Matsuura Aya.
I have finally been able to make this announcement to all of my supporters.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
