Sugimoto Aya

From the start, Aya was marketed as a sex symbol who just happened to sing too. She had a few top 40 singles and one that went to the top ten, "B & S". But as far as her marketing ploy went, she faced competition from Eriko Tamura and the "bigger" Reiko Kato. These girls gave birth to the exclamation "You mean, she can sing too???!!"
