Aiko Kayo is a popular idol on avex trax. She made her debut, however, in 2001 auditioning for the 5th generation of Morning Musume. She made it to the final 9, but was not chosen due to her lack of dancing skill. She was quickly signed to avex trax's anime sub-label, avex mode, and begin training at the avex artist academy.

In December 2003 she released her debut single, "hitomi no naka no meikyuu," which was a minor hit on the Oricon charts. She followed that up with eight more singles before finally releasing her debut album, "Dolce," in March 2006.

Since then she has released three more singles, "¡ÙHOME MADE STAR¡Ù ~Aiko Kayo no THEME~," "cosmic cosmetics," produced by capsule's Yasutaka Nakata, and "yuuki no CHIKARA," in April.

She will release her second album, "POP," in early June.

Aiko's going to be in a new unit with Nao Nagasawa and dream member Yuu Hasebe. Their debut single will be used as the ending theme to the upcoming Girl's BOX movie, and will feature a parapara style dance.

Apparently the unit was Nanase Hoshii's idea and she will act as the producer.

According to the Girls Box TV website, the unit's name is "Kingyo (‹à‹›)."

Also, their single is up for pre-order on Amazon.co.jp - CD+DVD/CD only.
