Ai Shinozaki

Biography

Ai Shinozaki (篠崎 愛, Shinozaki Ai; born February 26, 1992) is a Japanese gravure model, actress, and former idol singer member of AeLL., a musical idol group.
When she started modelling in 2006 at age 14, Shinozaki caused widespread press and web comments about her having an unusually curvy figure for a Japanese teenager. In 2007, her official height and figure measurements were first listed on the Chu → Boh website as "T158 B85 W60 H87" (5 ft 2 in, 33-24-34). By 2012, her measurements were updated to "T160 B87 W60 H88" (5 ft 3 in, 34-24-35) and have remained her official measurements since, though her bust measurement has been known to fluctuate throughout the years. She regularly appears on the front page of popular titles, such as Young Champion Retsu, Young Animal, and Weekly Young Jump.
Aside from modelling, she has gone on to forge a career as a pop idol. She has released five singles and three albums throughout her solo singing career.

Career

In July 2006, when Shinozaki was in her third year of middle school, she debuted as a leading idol at Chu → Boh, a gravure magazine specializing in female junior idols in middle school aimed towards male readers, published by Haewangsa. In 2007, she moved to Koh → Boh, a gravure magazine specializing in female junior idols in high school, a sister magazine of Chu → Boh. She debuted as an actress in October 2007, appearing in the drama "24 Eyes" (TBS series).

She made her debut as a singer in 2008 with her cover of "M". In January 2011, Shinozaki formed the idol group AeLL (Activity Eco Life with Love) with Shijou Haruna, Takana Kumi, and Nishi Erika. They held their debut event at Tower Records Shinjuku, Tokyo on April 29, 2011. The group released six albums and two singles but decided to take an indefinite hiatus in 2014. In 2015, she made a comeback as a solo artist with the single 'A-G-A-I-N×A-G-A-I-N29 April 2015 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 3 tracks1A-G-A-I-N3:252Rainy blue3:363微熱案内人 (Acoustic Piano Version)4:50'.
