Misa Aika (born November 2, 1976) is a Japanese talent hailing from Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture. In January 1993, she made her CD debut under the name Kumiko Fujiwara from Maikaru Hummingbird. Her debut song "Junai" was used in a commercial for Johnson & Johnson Baby Lotion, although she did not appear in the actual commercial. While the song garnered attention, her debut single did not sell well and her planned second single for June was shelved. She wrote the lyrics for the song herself. Following this, she joined the Sakura Club Sakura Group and changed her name to Makoto Kurosawa. After the end of Sakura Club, she changed her name once again to Aika Misa and pursued a career as a sexy genre actress. During the same period, she crossed paths with idol Asami Inoue, who was a senior in the junior high school's art club. The two had an interview together in the magazine "Kindai Eiga" during their debut days. Source: "愛禾みさ" - Wikipedia Japan
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
