I didn't see a thread for Ayaya, so I decided to make one! Name: Matsuura Aya (松浦亜弥) Nicknames: Ayaya Age: 22 Birthday: June 25, 1986 Height: 157.5 cm Birthplace: Hyogo, Japan Hobbies: Shopping Special Skill: Tennis Hello! Project Groups Gomattou (2002 - 2003) Nochiura Natsumi (2004 - 2005) DEF.DIVA (2005 - 2006) GAM (2006 - ) Shuffles 3nin Matsuri (2001) Odoru 11 (2002) SALT5 (2003) H.P. All Stars (2004) And to start off, here is Aya's new profile picture: I don't like it. The hairstyle and outfit make her look like an old grandma. XD
Yeahh really not diggin the new look. I'm 90% I'm going to see her live in a couple of months though! Woo!
^Sounds interesting It really seems like they push her "mature" image a lot .. recently (or rather the last 1-2 years). With the whole "Naked Songs" album and slow ballads on her "Double Rainbow" album. I like most of her songs, especially her older songs such as The Bigaku, Ne~e, Tropical Koi Shiteru and so many other catchy songs. It's understandable that she's gotten a "bit" too old to do those kinda of songs anymore, but still think Aya needs an upbeat single for a change. Even though I did like Egao a lot.
Here are the covers for Kizuna: CD Normal Edition Single V Ehh, I don't really like 'em. Aya looks kinda weird in the CD cover, but the Single V cover is... okay.
uhh ... did no one talk about her mightiness and her last ever single from H!P? She rocked from her first ever single till her last one! \o/
^ I actually don't like Chocolate Damashii. It's better than Kizuna and I'm glad she finally didn't release ballad, but I still don't like it.
^ well she's really one idol i respect though. I've never really disliked any of her songs ever released. Well except for GAM. Apparently my player shuffled so much on their song, it became annoying to me >.>
^ I actually really like GAM; more than most of Ayaya's stuff, to be honest. There are some Ayaya songs that I love, though, like THE LAST NIGHT and Zutto Suki de Ii desu ka.
^ i alos love ayaya song but right now look right a bit bored . after graduate from h!p is she make another agency
^Hope so... I rlly like her too... she got gd voice... I rlly dont get it.. Y they must hav mass grad... even SHE??? the powerful singer..
^She might be a good singer. But Aya doesn't sell. Her and the rest from elder club, can't match the sales of Wonderful Hearts (the now remaining H!P) Aya is still with Up Front agency. Which means... same agency she's always had. She's just not part of Hello! Project longer. The reasons for the mass graduations had nothing to do about talent. They just decided to "remove" those who didn't seem to fit the Hello! Project image They're still in the same agency and everything. No changes.
