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.
Aside from a successful solo career, Aya Matsuura (nicknamed Ayaya), has also done numerous collaborations with other members of Hello! Project, including special, usually short lived groups Gomattou with Maki Goto and Miki Fujimoto; Nochiura Natsumi with Maki Goto and Natsumi Abe; and DEF.DIVA with Maki Goto, Natsumi Abe, and Rika Ishikawa. She's also done the "Folk Song" series which feature Yuko Nakazawa and other Hello! Project artists, as well as Hello! Project's shuffle groups (3-nin Matsuri in 2001, Odoru 11 in 2002, Salt5 in 2003, and the larger H.P. All Stars in 2004).
Also, she has collaborated with Fujimoto Miki as a duo named GAM that debuted September of 2006. Their first single, "Thanks!" reached the #2 position on the Oricon.
Matsuura has appeared in many commercials for various companies; notably Pretz snack foods, Epson color printers, and Kirin beverages. Currently she also takes part and co-hosts the television show Utawara with other names in Japanese entertainment such as Johnny Jimusho's Jun Matsumoto.
Matsuura starred in the Japanese film Sukeban Deka: Codename = Asamiya Saki opposite Rika Ishikawa, released on September 30, 2006.
On October 9, 2006 both concerts she was supposed to hold that day were cancelled due to her not feeling well. Soon several unsourced rumours emerged considering the possibility she might be suffering from Temporomandibular joint disorder. Following the cancellation of the two concerts, Matsuura's management confirmed the rumours, reported the young idol had been taking painkillers to continue working and scheduled a press conference to discuss her condition. On the following day Matsuura made a public statement on PBS apologizing to her fans and expressing her desire to get back to her singing career as soon as possible.
Since her press conference, Matsuura has returned to her normal hosting duties on her weekly radio show, "Matsuura Aya no All Night Nippon" and has returned to singing in a limited capacity, as most recently demonstrated on her appearance on Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ on October 23, 2006.
She will graduate from H!P with the rest of Elder Club on March 31, 2009, but she will still remain a part of Up-Front Agency.
Beautiful Day
松浦亜弥 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
出来はしないから
何かを譲り作り笑い
気づけば一人きり
行き場失くした胸の痛みは
明日を臆病にするけど
何が正しくて何が違うのか
感じたままに生きてみたいの
見える全てが鮮やかに甦る
同じはずの街並みが今日は
優しくて so beautiful day
誰から見てもイイ人なんて
もうできないのに
頑張るだけじゃ足りないモノは
何処を探せばいい?
見渡す街で行き交う人に
紛れて見失うときも
大好きなもの 好きだと言える
私でいようと決めたから
beautiful day 雨上がりの
雲の切れ間 光射すあの場所へ
想い馳せた夢は明日へ
続いてる so beautiful day
beautiful day 輝き出す
見える全てが 餌やかに甦る
同じはずの街並みが今日は
優しくて so beautiful day
The lyrics of "Beautiful Day" by 松浦亜弥 speak to the struggle we all face in trying to live our lives without fear or hesitation, despite the pain and uncertainty we may feel. The opening lines acknowledge that no one can always get everything they want, but instead of dwelling on this, the lyrics encourage us to find something to laugh about and to carry on. The pain in our hearts from feeling lost can make us scared of the future, but the song reminds us to live our lives feeling everything as it comes to us.
The chorus repeats the phrase "beautiful day" which seems to refer to the brightness and beauty of the world around us. Even if we struggle to feel like good people and to find our way, the world still has its light and beauty. The lyrics speak to the act of finding the good things in life, even in difficult moments. The bridge urges us to look for the things that bring us joy and to hold onto them as we figure out our place in the world.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to not give up, even when times are tough. Despite the pain of feeling lost or like we can't be the perfect person we aspire to be, there's beauty and goodness in the world that we can grasp onto.
