In-depth (2005)
Going straight back to work in January for her very first Taiga drama "Yoshitsune" in the role of Utsubo, 2005 proved to be a very busy year for Aya. Her third movie and sequel to Azumi, "Azumi 2 Death or Love" was released in March along with her 2nd clips DVD "UETO AYA CLIPS 02" shortly after.
In between PR events and CM filming, Aya took volleyball courses to prepare herself for her first drama of the year "Attack No.1". Just like "Ace wo nerae!" in 2004, this one was also adapted from a popular '80s manga. She sang the ending theme song for the drama, which was produced by Takamizawa Toshihiko from famous band THE ALFEE. The single reached #7 on the Oricon Weekly Charts and quickly sold over 85,000 copies making it Aya's 3rd best selling single.
Later this year, she landed her voice to the main character of Ebina Kayoko's novel turned animation movie "Ashita genki ni na~re!". In July, she starred alongside popular Johnny's Kamenashi Kazuya and Akanishi Jin from KAT-TUN, main stars of the hit drama "Gokusen", in a commercial for Oronamin C. It became one of the most popular of the summer, reinforcing Aya's status as CM queen.
Two years after her first nation-wide live tour, Aya gave us her long-awaited second live tour entitled "UETO AYA LIVE TOUR 2005 "Genki hatsu ratsuu?" which covered 11 different venues. The Idol's tour was a success drawing more than 15,000 people from all over the country. Her 12th single "Kaze wo ukete" was released on the tour's first date. The song was produced by Ryoji from popular reggae/hip-hop band, Ketsumeishi and was used as the theme song for the 2nd Konjiki no Gash Bell!! animated movie.
In September, in addition to turning twenty, Aya released her fifth photo book "Breath" shot in Guam Island. She also starred in a special one episode drama with veteran actress Kuroki Hitomi called "Nada sousou ~Kono ai ni ikite~". Also, Aya was one of the promotional faces for the yearly National Cencus which she wrote for the very first time that year. In late fall, she was chosen to be the mascot girl for the "FIFA Club World Championship TOYOTA Cup Japan 2005" securing her many TV appearances in sports related programs.
From late October till December, Aya swiped four different awards, the Best Hair, Best Smile, Best CM Acting and Nail Queen 2005 prizes. In December, Aya released her 2nd summer tour on DVD shot at her last performance in Tokyo. Lastly, Aya concluded the year by ranking #1 in CMDB Data's yearly Favourite Female CM Talent poll and #6 in the overall poll.

Sorry, that biography is kind of outdated. Anyway, don't get me wrong, I am a die-hard KTH fan, but Aya is just so beautiful and captivating. She's actually in Hawaii right now! I want to meet her! Even though this island is small, it's hard to find any celebrities here... -_- Anyway, if you are interested, I posted a thread about Aya's latest drama, "Attention Please!" here.
:wub: One more..
