Aya is just amazing. In my opinion she has the best acting among the actresses of her generation. She knows how to go in depth with her roles and obviously maki, erika and yui and whoever are seriously not good. I liked most of Aya's dramas but i do want her to see her play with Johny's people LOL XD preferably ARASHI .
Aya needs to be casted with amazing actors! END >ooo< . They are lucky aya is still with them -.- They seriously do not know how to PROMOTE their actresses -.-

She should be paired up with a lot younger guys. I like her character in Azum buti on some of her movies nuh it's too boring. Or some young korean guys will suit her.
Japanese actors tend to be so stiff in acting(especially the younger ones, unless they are like kenichi tatsuyama who carry the role "L" in death note. older guys are just right)

I'm so upset for this text about Japanese viewership on dramas.
"...the cast members are carefully selected and tend to be famous actors that audiences are very fond of. The choice of cast members frequently affects the drama's audience rating and, pairing the right male and female artists is especially important in a renzoku ren'ai (romantic or love) drama."
I don't find Aya Ueto "cute" at all. I prefer her beautiful in and out. Fans tend to like her too much to the point where she's not a good actress anymore. I think she has potential and courage. But why are her dramas so dull and not that interesting for the young audience? x( I want her to pair with young famous actors/actresses too! It's so not fair! Am I the only one who thinks this? What on Japan's television are they airing? I'm not bashing, but Nagasawa Masami is in fact boring compare to this lady. Why does she get to act alongside with mostly Johnny's boys? What the friggin'?!

I've seen movies and dramas she's done and I'd like to say that they are wasting her beauty onscreen with men who do not appear compatible with her. The only young actor she looked nice with in a drama was Nishikido Ryo. And he's a fantastic actor too!
Please, directors and Japanese film castors, if you are reading this, please consider your choice of actors to choose who'll make a more suitable pair alongside her in future projects or at least men who look compatible enough with her. I promise it would and will grab people's attention farther. It seem she isn't rising so high the bar with other young actresses who are making big hits with young great-acting and good-looking male actors.
She is one of the best young Japanese actresses in the 21st century! And I'm not just ranting about the exterior of her appearances, I'm referring to her acting abilities. Compare to other popular young actresses, in my opinion, she can pull off any roles. She can actually adapt a character's feelings and expresses it as if she is really that person. I know she can achieve higher if she's just given the chance to be in a bigger drama role with dashing actors.
Make everyone's heart squeeze!

Aya Ueto is a better actress than Horikita Maki, Toda Erika, & Nagasawa Masami! They need to give her better roles and better dramas! And they need to cast her with younger actors!
