My Take
I have a soft spot for the model-turned-actor who actually pulls it off, and Aya Asahina is one of those. She came up out of Awaji Island in Hyogo, and there's something easy and unhurried about her that the island theory totally sells me on. At 171cm she has that long, clean runway silhouette, and she stacked up the whole resume, fashion model, race queen, TV talent, the lot, without ever looking like she was straining for it. What gets me is that she didn't coast on the pretty-face thing; popping up in Alice in Borderland, she clearly wanted to actually act, and I respect that itch. My read: striking on camera, refreshingly down-to-earth off it, and quietly more versatile than the glamour shots let on.
