AAA (pronounced Triple A), standing for ATTACK ALL AROUND, is a seven member co-ed group created in 2005 under the avex trax label. Their debut single, "BLOOD on FIRE", was used in the Initial D live action movie. Their first full-length album and first mini-album, both titled ATTACK, were released on January 1st, 2006.

History cr. to Wikipedia
 
AAA was originally planned to be a 6 member group. At first, members included Takahiro Nishijima, Naoya Urata, Shuta Sueyoshi, Shinjiro Atae, Mitsuhiro Hidaka and Misako Uno as the only girl. Avex later decided to add two more girls; Chiaki ItÅ and Yukari Goto. As songs like "Blood on Fire" and "Friday Party" were previously prepared for 6 members, the two girls are only heard in the refrain.
 

The Members are:

  • Naoya Urata: Leader, Lead Vocalist
  • Takahiro Nishijima: Main Vocalist
  • Misako Uno: Main Vocalist
  • Mitsuhiro Hidaka: Main Rapper
  • Shinjiro Atae: Sub-Vocalist, Lead Dancer
  • Shuta Sueyoshi: Sub-Vocalist, Sub-Rapper, Main Dancer

Ex Members

  • Chiaki Ito: Lead Vocalist (up until the depArture era and onwards, she was a Sub-Vocalist and Dancer), Graduated in 2017.
     
  • Yukari Goto was a Sub Vocalist and Main Dancer before she left AAA in 2007 due to an illness.


In the summer of 2005, avex announced the debut of a new pop/eurobeat group consisting of boys and girls who have undergone training in the avex artist academy, the record label's training facility for singers, dancers, and other entertainment talents. Because of this, the group's debut was much anticipated and was received well by many fans. In their debut year, they received the "Best Newcomer Award" at the 47th Japan Record Awards. From September to December they released a single each month plus a photobook and their very first album, Attack, in January 2006. With all the previous advertisement and releases the group did not have time to perform their songs live. However, as each of their singles has a different genre this did not cause a problem with sales.


Misako Uno, the female lead, starred alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar in the Hollywood version of The Grudge 2 in 2006. She played a one of the 3 school girls and all of her lines were in English. After releasing mini album All/2 on September 13, 2006, AAA released their second studio album All on January 1, 2007. The album's sales were a success but still less than its predecessor ATTACK, although this is almost certainly due to the band releasing all but 3 songs off the album as singles with music videos throughout 2006.

2007–present: Media mix and acting, New Lineup + Larger Success 

AAA is also performing the opening for 2007's Kamen Rider Den-O and also for Delicious Gakuin. For this single, "Climax Jump," they have temporarily changed their name to "AAA Den-O form". The single was certified Gold by the[/size]Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for the shipment of 100,000 physical singles and 100,000 full-track ringtone music downloads (or [/size]Chaku Uta Full) each, making Climax Jump their most successful single to date.


AAA appeared at Otakon 2007 in Baltimore, Maryland. Yukari Goto officially left AAA due to health problems and has not returned to the group.

 

AAA had their first Oricon weekly number 1 single in 2008 with "Mirage." AAA also appeared on the theaters and Nishijima manifested interest in the acting. He appeared in the film Love Exposure, which was the first film for him to play the main role. He performed cross-dressing in the film and eventually won the Sponichi Grand Prix New Face Award of the year 2009 on January 19, 2010.


After a string of top 5-10 hits throughout 2007-2008, AAA had a successful era in 2009 with their album HEARTFUL, with the album and all of the preceding singles debuting in the top 3. In 2010, AAA's double A-side single "Aitai RiyÅ«/Dream After Dream (Yume Kara Sameta Yume)" topped the Oricon weekly charts in May 2010, becoming their second number 1 single on the charts. Both songs were composed by Tetsuya Komuro, while those lyrics were written by others. Their next single "Makenai Kokoro" was released in August. The song is also composed by Komuro, but Uno and Ito sing the majority of the song while Hidaka provides backing rap vocals like their Heartful era. The single debuted at number 3 on the Oricon charts at over 45,000 sales.


In 2011, they released their 2nd compilation album "# AAABEST" and it went on to become their best selling album at that time, as well as becoming their 1st number one album on the Oricon weekly charts.

I'm not really a fan of AAA, cause their songs are either a hit or a miss for me. However, I have so much respect for their lives, I just love Naoya & Nissy's voices, and all the other members are great vocalist as well.
