In 1999, she formed the J-pop band Z-1 with Mami Nejiki, Mai Fujiya, and Manami Nishiwaki. They released five singles before breaking up, but Aya went on to start a solo career when she signed with Pony Canyon two years later. She released her first single, "Pureness," in 2002. It peaked at #4 on the Oricon charts and became the first female artist debut single in 3 years and 3 months to enter the Top 5 since Kyoko Fukada. Since then, she has released thirteen singles and six albums.

Aya began her acting career in May 1999 in the movie "Killer of Paraiso". In 2000 she received her first role in a drama, Namida wo Fuite. In 2001, she played a part in Kinpachi-sensei, and her performance greatly boosted her popularity. She starred in several later dramas, including Koukou Kyoushi 2003, Hitonatsu no Papa e, and Ace o Nerae!. She also ventured into the big screen in famed film director Ryuhei Kitamura's 2003 blockbuster Azumi and in its sequel, Azumi 2: Death or Love in 2005.

She is often said to physically resemble Japanese star Momoe Yamaguchi and to be one of the biggest idols around today. She is often mentioned as "super idol". As of 2006, Aya Ueto remains ubiquitous in Japan, appearing constantly on magazines and in commercials.

    Azumi is a pretty decent movie if you don't mind the usual "almighty hero" main cast in Aya.Having said that...there's lots of Japanese dramas done by her.And she's also a singer!!!When you are outdoors you listen to her songs and when you are indoors you watch her dramas!Aya forever!!!
