Aya is still hot!
meloveulongtime
now that is a truly beautiful and sexy woman! So much better than one of the "kawaii" old women trying to look young....
Blacklabel
Yeah Aya still workin' it, looking good!
tokyotom
that is what i am talking about 'nuf of the Haruna Ai, 'nuf of the police girls, this is what we need JT, this will drive the clicks

Very pretty face but a tad skinny for fishnets to really work their magic. Great for 42 of course.
nath
Yes she is. We walked past each other once on the street in Akasaka. She is very tall and looks even better in person.
She is smart, sensual and ages well. Looooove Aya
Gurukun
Hell yeah! She's one of the few women like wine. The more she ages, the better she gets.

Steve is still workin' it, and looking good. He is a great dancer. Be Italian!

NOT ONE of the other GIRLS in this picture can hold a candle to Aya and what, they're all in their low to mid 20's??? Debucho and Gurukun are right, "smart, sensual, ages well and like wine."
My wife isn't in the sexy category but she's like wine and at 48 makes all of these girls (except for Aya, Sorry sweety) look silly.

Yeah, Steve is great! Great to see him still at it. Met him a few years back in a casting and he came off as a really genuine guy.
marcels
No wonder the guy has a smile on his face!!!!!

Aya Sugimoto is gorgeous, smart and interesting. Such a welcome relief from all these very stupid and uninteresting "talento" that we see so much of on all the TV shows.

Agree with the consensus -- Aya puts most J-gals half her age to shame. She knows the difference between just trying to look sexy, and actually being sexy. Wonder how come none of the actual cast from the movie showed up for the event. Do they not expect it to do well here?
cactusJack
...and why is the age of "Steven Haynes" not shown? Women don't check this site?
Junnama
Nice!!
Jigg88
has got to be one of the hottest 42 year olds if you ask me...

This woman is the best: sexy, rich and experienced. Genarally here men love young women, but "arafo" are the best.

And not a shred of class or grace.

Y'all do realize that Miss Aya was just another talentless talent 20plus years ago, right? She has always been sexier than most and probably her only real talent has been her ability to milk that for so long.

And you didn't even say hello?
koriyamaboy
Two words for this picture. "Oh my!"
tokyokawasaki
Not bad at all :) http://images.dailyradar.com/media/uploads/ballhype/story_large/2008/10/24/aya_sugimoto_peta_0.jpg

Happy to know that Steven is still at it. I met him in Kishiwada when i first moved to japan in 2001. Very cool hombre.

why is everyone serious today? Make some funny comments boys. It is a fact that Aya is hot and at 42 great. This was how all Jtalentos were supposed to be but then they misinterpreted the whole thing and are giving a slutty image. As compared to the ladies in the neighboring lands, Jladies depicted the classy, sexy hot types. But today, as many of you the noted the so called tarentos are just a sad story. Look at the other four. Fish net is good without the artificial tear. Learn from Avril Lavigne to tear stockings, not from Lindsay Lohan.
dishdash
I have to say she does look good - has she had any kids? I don't think so right? In any case for her aging has worked out well - probably lost the baby fat in the face and right places.....gotta say that Asian blood really works wonder....
Gurukun
Question. And in no means am I trying to be sarcastic in any way...and I am sure the guy is talented, but who is Steven Haynes? (scared to press the Submit Button)
combinibento
I'd never heard from him either. Then I checked out his website (which looks like it was designed back in 1996) and apparently he is a back-up dancer, stage escort at fashion shows, and has appeared in a few minor roles in films. And he's got some very ripped abs.
nightvision
Any man who brings up talent when talking about Aya Sugimoto is either missing the point, or is not a full-blooded male.
Of course, 42-year-old women are free to turn green with envy.
WilliB
The hottest 42-year old ever! They should declare her a national treasure.
brotokyo
Holy stockings, Batman!
Jkanda
The lady at the back seems to have had a lot of sleepless nights.
gamera
She's hot.
avenger
Look at that guy, he looks like he is going to eat her alive
nemoflow
How many times did you see her face today, whilst walking down the street...
Yep. LOADS.
YongYang
Plenty, PLENT of sexy 40 plus year old women in Japan and they are much more fun than girls who don't know how or what.
momodaisuki
I agree YongYang. They have more experience which is appreciated.
UnagiDon
It's been far too long since Aya graced these pages, she's still got it.
ppm1407
