Actress Ueto Aya (23) attended the opening ceremony of a new shop of major menswear maker AOKI in Tokyo's Ginza district on Thursday and even had the privilege of cutting the ribbon. She's been working as the image character for AOKI for several years now and already appeared in a number of commercials for them.

It was a rainy day and so it was nice to see her brightening up the area with her smile, but Ueto herself even thought one step further by choosing a bright orange dress for the event. "It's raining and so I thought I should be like the sun." People get attracted by the sun and so it was no surprise to see a long queue in front of the shop. "Everyone, please come!!" She called out to the people in the queue. The first in the line didn't even only got to see Ueto's smile, she even personally gave them a little present from the shop. Can a day be even brighter?

Of course the fact that people only had to pay half the amount for all of their goods during the opening sale also contributed a bit to the 3000 people long line in front of the store since 6am, 3 hours before the opening, but I rather want to believe that it was all Ueto's doing. The opening sale will continue until June 11 (without Ueto, though).
