Daily ChioBu: Aya Hirayama

Posted by singaporedaily on 4th August 2008

Aya Hirayama 平山あや (平山绫) is a Japanese actress best known (to me anyway) for her roles in Water Boys, Tokyo Tower and Haruka 17 (as the lead Haruka). Hirayama is a protege of Japanese talent agency Hori Production, where she first auditioned at the age of 14. Under Hori, she learnt to sing, dance and act. She did photo shoots, TV commercials, TV variety show appearances and dramas, before making her movie debut in 2000. Hirayama’s latest film is “Kagehinata ni Saku” (Bloom in the shade), where she plays a struggling pop singer in Akihabara.

Pictures after the break.
