Aya Makinoda

Makinoda Aya was a Japanese pop singer, actress, model and talento who took her own life on October 25, 2010. She participated in the Komu-ro Garçons (ASAYAN Idol Group Audition 96) which aired on the TV show ASAYAN.

After the group disbanded (only two months later), Makinoda started working as a model and actress. In 2002 she was the YeLLOW Corn Girl for Galsparadise. In 2003, she was crowned the GT RaceQueen of the year and released her first photo book. She also hosted her own radio show called "Aya no Lip is Joint" (彩のLip is Joint). In 2004 she released a calendar and a DVD called LOVE&PEACE. In 2009, she released an AV on DVD called First Impression AYA.
