Asaka Kubo

Asaka Kubo (久保亜沙香, Kubo Asaka, born January 20, 1979 in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan) is the lead vocal singer of the group A+Jyuc . She currently belongs to the show-business production company PLATINUM-S, and is a former member of Pyw-A.

She got her start in 1998 when she was scouted and given the opportunity to become a Gravure idol. She posed primarily in school uniforms & underwear. Along with the usual Gravure Idol photosets she also produced a semi nude photograph collection (also known as a Photobook) and an image video. She switched companies in 2000 and stopped temporarily in 2001 for unknown reasons. In late 2002 she re-emerged and released her final photobook. She has since turned her attention to singing and has been active ever since, performing various stage events. In 2005 she started a music group called Pyw-A, but was unsuccessful. A year later in 2006, she started a new group called A+Jyuc.

A+Jyuc stands for Asaka + the first letter in the name of each member in the group. Asaka+ = Asaka (Vocals) J = Jun(Bass) y = you (Guitar) u = ume (Keyboard) c = coro chang (Drums)

The group has not performed in any concerts or for large audiences and it is unknown how popular her music is. Never-the-less her group still manages to release at least 1 CD a year, along with an average of 3 stage performances a month.
