Ueto Aya shows that she can be more than just cute in ‘Numero TOKYO’


Popular actress Ueto Aya is making a sexy appearance in the fashion magazine ‘Numero TOKYO‘ for its May edition (on sale March 28th).

Ueto is known for her rather innocent image and beautiful smile, which earned her the title of the ‘CM Queen’ more than just once over the recent years. However, in the magazine she’s going to swap that image of hers for a more mature and bewitching image. In the one picture released as a preview, she can be seen wearing a sexy dress that highlights her perfect body line.

The interview that comes with the photo spread is also going to look behind her smiling face. She looks back at her life as an actress; a life that didn’t spare her any time to relax since her breakthrough in the drama ‘San-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei‘ in 2001. Moreover, she talks about her family, her ideal type, and reveals her thoughts about marriage.

In public, Ueto always maintains her cheerful and bright image, “but at the core I’m actually introverted.” She also revealed that when she’s walking together with her close friend Becky on the street, many people only recognize Becky and hand Ueto the camera to take a picture. Therefore, she thinks that she’s lacking something; “I guess I don’t have that certain aura.”

Since her debut, she suffered from the gap between her public image and her real self. Both her parents were always working, causing her to have a rather lonely childhood, which is why she’s looking forward to a bright future with a loving husband and children. “I want to become an actress who can experience life to the fullest.”

For more pictures and the full interview, you’ll have to get the latest edition of ‘Numero TOKYO’ once it goes on sale on March 28th.

Ueto Aya appears as a surprise guest at ‘SPRiNG Collection 2012′


On March 28th, actress Ueto Aya appeared as a surprise guest at the ‘SPRiNG Collection 2012‘ fashion show organized by fashion magazine ‘SPRiNG‘.

‘SPRiNG’ is a magazine that created the term and fashion style ‘nachukawa’ (‘natural kawaii’), which refers to a style that is both natural and pretty/cute. The magazine invited 500 of their readers to this fashion show, which included live performances and a live talk show hosted by comedy group Wagaya.

Towards the end of the show, Ueto Aya appeared as a secret guest, and presented the latest trend for the spring/summer collection, which combines a feminine and classic style. Her outfit was a border one-piece by fashion label ‘To b. by agnes b.‘ The audience enthusiastically welcomed the actress, who blew a kiss to them in return. “You are so kind,” she said. “Thank you very much. I love you!”

During the live talk she revealed, “I’m usually wearing nachukawa outfits in private, I’m not into too elegant clothes.”

Wagaya responded, “You’re such a cutie, you can probably wear anything. You would even look stylish dressed like Hadaka no Taisho (khaki shorts & white tank top).”

They also asked her to tell them the secret behind her beauty and she explained, “When I have a day off, I either go have a lava bath, go to the gym, or do some yoga. I always make sure to do something that is good for my body.”

Her close friend Becky also attended the fashion show as a guest. “We often go and have a walk together around Shibuya, Daikanyama, and so on,” Ueto revealed. “We also like to go shopping at Marui or Parco.”

“Aren’t people there surprised?” Wagaya asked. “The employees sure must be on the verge of fainting seeing you two in person.”

Ueto replied, “They barely find out who we are, although Becky is not even trying to hide her identity.” The audience couldn’t believe their ears.

At the end, she once again thanked the audience for the warm welcome. She revealed that she was very nervous before coming out on the runway, since she hasn’t been on one for a very long time. “My upper lip is always protruding when I’m walking,” she said embarrassed. “However, all of you welcomed me in such a kind way and Wagaya did a nice job heating up the atmosphere beforehand.”

Ueto Aya mirrors Audrey Hepburn in new softbank CM

Softbank will release a new CM  series of Shirato-Ke(Shirato family) filmed in Rome. The series is a parody of the film ‘Roman Holiday’, and Ueto Aya imitates Audrey Hepburn, showing a princess-like smile in the CM.

The CM title is “Aya’s Holiday“(15second ver. and 30 second ver.), and Aya(Ueto) visits Rome on her vacation. All filming was located in Italy, and they reproduced famous scene in “Roman Holiday”. The highlights in the CM are Aya’s neat and classic Anne princess style outfit, and the scene when Aya eats gelato at Spanish Steps and rides off with a guy on his scooter around sightseeing spots in Rome.

The filming was very large scale with Japanese and Italian crew as well as around 100 extras. They shot at 10 spots including Trevi Fountain and Bocca delle Verita.

Co-star Higuchi Kanako stated, “This is my second time visiting Italy, but it was my first time in Rome so I was looking forward to being there. Since filming was early morning, there were no other people and it seemed like we reserved those spots for us. It was a really luxurious time. I also tossed a coin into Trevi Fountain wishing to come again Rome. I took a picture with Aya-chan , and Oto-san(white dog) was full of vitality. [Laughs].”

‘Aya’s Holiday’ will first air on March 31st.

Found the exact info for that ^^ new drama:

TBS announced on March 29 that it will be producing a special drama based on the life of poet Misuzu Kaneko in which actress Aya Ueto (26) will portray the late poet.

Born in 1903, Kaneko, who experienced a resurgence of fame in the aftermath of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami through the use of her poem "Kodama Desho" in an AC Japan PSA, began writing poetry at a young age and published 512 poems before passing away at the age of 26 in 1930.

Commenting on the public's fascination with Kaneko's poetry, Ueto stated, "Her (Kaneko) verses were heard on television often after the disaster." "She was a very gentle and ladylike soul who you could tell had witnessed the sadness of life", she continued. Ueto added that she wants to make the role, which will call on her to deal with the subjects of death, illness, unemployment and other hardships, her best work yet by saying, "I will do my best to not have any regrets."

The drama will be produced by "Wataru Seken wa Oni Bakari" producer Fukuko Ishii, who also produced the 2001 Misuzu Kaneko biopic starring Takako Matsu. "There are still stories to be told. I want to step into that world one more time. I had my heart set on Ueto for the role and we waited until her schedule opened up to get the ball rolling" explained Ishii.

Cast in the role of Kaneko's brother Masasuke Ueyama is one-half of the Tackey & Tsubasa duo, Tsubasa Imai (30). "I'm thrilled to be a part of this wonderful project. I will do my best and I hope that this role will help me grow as an actor" commented Imai. This is the first time Ueto and Imai will be starring opposite each other. Upon hearing that it takes Ueto a week to learn her lines, Imai brought some laughter to the press conference by confessing he needs "at least a month".

Other cast members include Teruhiko Saigo, Reiko Takashima, Tomoko Naraoka, Taro Suruga, Aki Nishihara, Pinko Izumi, Yuki Matsumura, Miyu Kobayashi, Miho Ohwada, Sadahito Niwa and Nobuto Okamoto.
