Produced by one of Japanese pop's foremost impresarios, Masto "Max" Matsuura, dance-vocal act AAA are a rare commodity in J-pop in that they are a mixed-sex group aimed at both female teenagers and male music fans. With cofounder and president of the Avex Trax record label Matsuura calling the shots, AAA has been able to secure the songwriting services of big-name producers. AAA (read as "Triple A" and thought to be an acronym for "Attack Al Around") began life in 2005 as a manufactured six-piece comprised of bandleader Naoya Urata, Takahiro Nishijima, Mitsuhiro Hidaka, Shinjiro Atae, Shuta Sueyoshi and sole female member Misako Uno. Two more girls, Yukari Goto and Chiaki Ito, would join soon after. Uno was plucked from an Avex audition. Urata and Goto "graduated" from the Avex's Artist Academy (Urata has also toured as a backing dancer with J-pop queen Ayumi Hamasaki and performed in the memorable video to Halcali's debut single "Tandem"); Hidaka, Atae, Sueyoshi and Nishijima were backing dancers for pop idol Ami Suzuki; and various members have acted, modeled (Ito) and presented on the radio. At least three members of the band are more than simply pretty faces: Goto represented her country in gymnastics as a teenager, Uno is a student at Tokyo Women's University and Hidaka is a student at Tokyo's elite university Waseda.
AAA debuted in 2005 with the single "Blood on Fire," the theme song to the live-action film Initial D: The Movie, an adaptation of the popular Japanese manga of the same name. The group clearly has friends in high places. Within 12 months of their debut, after releasing four singles and the debut album Attack, AAA won the Best New Artist of the Year Award at the 47th Japan Record Awards, despite failing to reach the upper echelon of the charts
