Aoi Yu on Jounetsu Tairiku
Also from the comments in the Ryuganji entry, Aoi Yu on a TV show that "follows a celebrity for a long period and compiles what it filmed into a sort of biographical segment." It's also been mentioned here but without the video, so here are the clips c/o YouTube!

Rumors of Aoi Yu's behavior on the set of Osen
From Ryuganji:
Incidentally, a couple of months back Cyzo ran the following unsubstantiated rumours of diva-like behaviour from Aoi on the set of her recent TV series “Osen“:
She constantly turns up on set without having learned her lines, and becomes a bit testy when she’s given direction… her behaviour often darkens the atmosphere on set. She acts the same toward the director too. Of course, no-one is disputing the high quality of her acting, but it raises concerns for her future.
Then there’s speculation from a “showbiz agency insider” on what made her that way:
She’s appeared in commercials and advertising since her elementary school days, and in 1999 she was chosen for the lead in a stage production of “Annie”, but her acting career never really took off so she paid her dues doing things like working as a model for fashion magazines. She gained recognition as an actress thanks to films like “All About Lily Chou-Chou” and “Hula Girls”. That’s why she really invests herself in them. However, you might say that although she’s appeared in television series before, in contrast with her films, her reputation hasn’t been particularly good. She just works at her own pace, and needs to memorize the script…
Then they wrap the article up contritely with a much more positive account from a “film insider”:
In the film “Hula Girls” she dances the hula in the climactic scene, but she wasn’t satisfied with her own dancing and stayed behind after all the extras in the audience had gone home so she could reshoot just her scenes. The entire crew was impressed by her determination.

Cast: Yu Aoi, Mirai Moriyama, Pierre Taki, Terunosuke Takezai, Ryusei Saito, Takashi Sasano, Kyusaku Shimada ...
The latest film starring everyone’s favorite (or just about everyone’s favorite) actress, Yu Aoi, has set an opening date. The film “One Million Yen and the Nigamushi Woman” will premiere in Japan on Saturday July 19th. Mark your calendars for that one if you live in Japan. “One Million Yen and the Nigamushi Woman” is also helmed by up and coming director Yuki Tanada, who has already worked with Yui Aoi in the 2008 Japanese television show “Camouflage.”
In “One Million Yen and the Nigamushi Woman,” Yu Aoi plays a 21 year old loner without a job or friends (hard to believe but we’ll go along with the premise). Then misfortune strikes Yui Aoi when she gets arrested (and if you’ve watched “I Just Didn’t Do It” - you know by now) she is found guilty. Consequently, Yu Aoi makes out like a bandit and flees town. She then roams from town to town, working odd end end up jobs until she can acquire the 1,000,000 Yen ($9,367.67 USD) needed to pay her fees.
