Ueto Aya's new drama "Abarenbo Mama" does't have good "Audience rating" and her previous dramas are even worse, so people called her "Low-Rating Queen". Some said because of heavy work, she and Morita got separated and she even wanted to retire.
Someone said Aya-chan does not get any holiday since her debut and Oscar Promotion assigned her lots of work but did not pay her well. Therefore she complains a lot. Because of that she doesn't have enough time dating; only mails. Even so, she's not getting any replies.
She has so many dramas but the representative ones are only a few. Therefore, her market is shrinking.
Director ‰ŸˆäŽç invited her to be the main character in his new CG movie, but Oscar Pro. said it doesn't fit into her schedule and rejected. This is not as usual that she always accepts any work. So, some rumors said she might retire temporary.

This is just general meaning of Chinese news article above.
Damn, please forgive my bad grammar!! T_T
Let me know if you use certain words to describe certain vocabs. thx!
Disturbing news!
But, to be honest, it doenLt surprise me much. She said before that she wants to quit in her mid twenties to live a "normal life," marry, get children. Family is very important to Aya chan and I think she doesnLt want to miss part that in her life because she was working before and didnLt had the time. I with Aya all the best in her life and that she will always be happy. So if she doesnLt want to be a star anymore she should quit! Of course thatLs be a hard blow for me (and all of her fans) but I wouldnLt want her to fake her smile!!!
That her latest doramas had low ratings is a known fact. But I think itLs not Aya to blame but Oscar. To be honest I feel a bit the same. I really had to force me to finish watching Hotelier :-(
But still ILm looking forward to Abarenbo Mama. I havenLt seen it till now but it looks promising!
I think Aya became so popular because she was something special. She had good doramas with strong characters like in Kinpachi sensei, for example. Her photos in mags were all very good and well made. Outdoor shoots, funny and interesting outfits and locations. But nowadays it all became bog-standard. The photoshootings in mags are all OK, donLt get me wrong, but they are all nothing special and there is barely any "Wow" effect anymore. Most are just "standart" studio fashion shoots.
I think the problem is, that she isnLt that "special" anymore. The photos, the doramas. She became popular because of the tomboy look, for example. Jeans, t-shirt, leather jacket. Today she wears standart girlLs fashion most of the time. I think that might be AyaLs own decision too, of course. She was still young back then and itLs only normal that she changed over the past yeras. Today she might prefer a more girlish look. But I think, especially the older fans, do miss that old AyaLs look, her doramas AND her (more rockier) music from back then. Maybe thatLs the reason why she seems to loose many "fans" (I was noticing that, at JDorama for example over the past year, too. We used to have lots of active members. Maybe 20 members posting several times the day. Today itLs only maybe 3 :sweat:
I think the main problem is that people are a bit glutted with Aya. She is in tons of mags every month, she does 3 doramas the year and is in lots of shows. Oscar wants to make money with Aya and they think the more she does the more they can sell and earn. ThatLs a fact, of course. And totally normal in the entertainment industry. But on the other hand that might also cause fans to get glutted and loose interest because there isnLt anything "special" anymore. Nothing they can look forward to or to be happy that they see their idol in a new mag.
I think the best for Aya and her fans would be if sheLs gear down. More quality than quantity! Only one dorama the year and maybe 1/3 as many TV or mag appearances than today. Then Aya would have more time for friends and family, could to a vacation, load up the batteries and so...
And I think sheLd still earn enough money even if she wouldnLt work as much anymore than now. ItLs no use if she overworks herself. But I think this idea unfortunately canLt and wonLt work in japanese entertainment industry and for Aya anymore :sweat:
I donLt know how true these news really are. Maybe they are exaggerated again. But ILm sure there is truth in it.
Aya works way too much, for sure. And that her doramas and CDs werenLt selling as good as the older ones is a fact, too.
It makes me sad to think Aya is working that much like now, isnLt happy with it, and still gets bad ratings after all. If this continues she will sure burn out and quit some day :shamefulcry:
