Matsuura Aya information
Matsuura Aya debuted in 2001 with the single Dokki Doki! LOVE Mail. Her debut public performance with Hello! Project was at the April 2001 Morning Musume Live Revolution 21 Haru concert. Her debut album, First Kiss, followed in 2002 after a number of single releases. She then quickly became a favorite amongst Hello! Project fans. Maintaining that sweet and bubbly feel that is evident in all Hello! Project artists, Matsuura is a solid example of solo talent for those who go for this particular flavor of J-pop, which is certainly not without its fans. It has made her one of the most popular and successful solo artists in the Hello! Project.
Aya auditioned in 2000 for the 4th Morning Musume & Heike Michiyo Protegee Audition, and was selected along with Sheki-Dol to become a part of what was later known as Hello! Project. It is a common misconception that Aya originally auditioned to be a part of Morning Musume, which she didn’t. After being chosen from that audition, Aya Matsuura began her solo career. In time she would become one of Hello! Project’s biggest acts.
