Aya Ueto: Girl on the go

Actress-singer Aya Ueto PHOTO BY TSUTOMU FUJITA
TOKYO — Few Japanese celebrities lead busier lives than Aya Ueto. The 21-year-old actress-singer has already starred in two television series this year, is filming another in Shanghai, has just released a gBest of Ueto Ayah CD, appears in numerous TV commercials and various promotional events and is also getting ready for gTaiyo no Funeh in January, a live spectacle at Tokyo Dome based on the life of fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto.
Cheerful and energetic, Ueto sits down for her first interview with English media. Show business was the last thing on her mind when she was a little girl growing up in Tokyofs Nerima. gI wanted to be a pre-school teacher,h she said. gI grew up in a danchi (public housing complex) with lots of families and children, so I got a lot of energy from the community.h
In 1997, Ueto got her start when she won the Special Jury Prize at the All-Japan Bishojo Club (a contest whose winners go into the modeling and celebrity worlds). Guest appearances on TV variety shows such as gMatthewfs Best Hith followed. For awhile, Ueto opted for a music career, forming a pop band called Z-1, but by 2001, TV and advertising work started to prove more lucrative. She scored a hit as a student with gender identity disorder in the TV drama g3-Nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei.h Her big screen success came as the title character in gAzumi,h a period drama based on a violent, erotic Japanese manga, with Ueto starring as a young woman raised from birth with nine other orphans, to become an assassin.
Ueto approaches each project in the same manner. gWhen I first read the script, I usually get a general vision of what my character is going to be like but when I actually start acting, I wonder what is really being asked of me. What does the director desire, and what sort of picture is he searching for? With singing, I wonder what kind of genre my fans are hoping Ifll sing. Ifm not really good at coming up with the answers to these questions myself, so I usually ask various people around me. I try to be closer to the vision that many people have for me. Likewise, I feel most satisfied when someone comes up and says the role was perfect for me.h
Uetofs TV commercials, among them Otsuka vitamin drinks (in which she appeared with South Korean heartthrob Bae Yon Joon), Softbank, Daihatsu, Lotte, JTB, Kikkoman and Aoki, keep her one of the most recognized faces on TV. gWe usually shoot commercials in a day. Theyfre great fun to do and I get to meet people I would never meet otherwise,h she says.
Over the years, Ueto has attracted a huge fan base, many of whom write to her blog. gThe girls are usually elementary to high school students, but men in their 20s to 40s write me a lot. If a message really touches my heart, I write back. When I read a letter that tells me Ifm needed in some way, I answer it. Sometime I try to meet fans at hospitals.h Ueto says shefs not very good with computers and doesnft even own one. She writes her blog material and her staff take care of it for her.
Hard to maintain privacy
Maintaining privacy is always an issue for celebrities. Ueto is no exception. gI wish I could go on trips and walk the streets like anyone else,h she says. gIn summer I wear a hat and in winter a scarf, but people still come up and ask for photos. I generally decline requests to take a photo with them, but I try to sign autographs. Therefs no place I feel more uncomfortable than a trendy, glitzy place with lots of people. I prefer a quite place with less people.h
Some days can be overwhelming for Ueto, but she never seems to lose her energy. Leisure time is a rarity. gWhen I do get a day off, I usually need a massage. I was playing tennis every day for awhile while I was making a TV drama. I try to exercise up to 40 minutes a day. And I think I get a lot of stamina from eating natto. I eat it everyday for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I love to eat. Ifm lucky because I donft ever feel really hungry or full; I can eat as much as I want all the time. But Ifm not much of a cook. Itfs probably been about a year since I started. I couldnft even hold a knife before then.h
So what does the future hold? Although she never finished school, Ueto feels she made the right decision. gI didnft even have time to sleep, and it was getting really hard having both a full-time career and school, so I eventually had to quit school. I donft know about going to college. I think I would rather get a child care license. Right now, Ifm more passionate about expanding my interests and hobbies, for example, being able to speak English.h
While she is known to foreign movie fans from gAzumi,h Ueto says she is not yet ready to try her luck in Hollywood. gI need to accomplish much more in Japanese films, and I have a lot to learn in Japanese TV dramas and acting here first. Theyfre on an entirely different level over there, so Ifm not that confident. Maybe when I am 30 or 40. Hopefully, by then I will have a family.h
Which brings us to her ideal man. gI like a serious man with integrity toward others, his work, children and even his pet; someone who doesnft change his sense of self at all times,h she answers. gI generally go for a guyfs personality rather than his looks.h

That's a good article. Aya smart not to waste her talents in Hollywood.

yeah i enjoyed it.
It doesn't even make sense to go Hollywood....she would be pigeonholed in some lame role that wouldn't suit her or serve her career in a positive fashion. at least she seems grounded in what's appropriate and what makes sense to her as an young artist.
