On July 18th 2018, Aya ran a 100km solo marathon as an attempt to get more votes for BiS.LEAGUE. Her decision brought criticism from other members of the group (most notably, Go Zeela and Muropanako, the latter calling her "stupid") who found it reckless of her to try a marathon in the middle of summer. Despite this, she managed to run the whole 100 km.

On July 30th, Aya Eightprince ranked second place in the BiS League election and was promoted to BiS 1st.

Aya modelled for NEGLECT ADULT PATiENTS at Amazon Fashion Week on October 16th.

On December 29th, Aya ranked 2nd place in BiS.LEAGUE. Despite this, she was singled out alongside low-ranking members as being "unfit to perform with BiS" and at risk of being removed from the group.

2019[]

From March 24th, 2019, Aya, along with the other BiS members placed on probation, took part in the WACK AUDiTiON CAMP 2019. During the audition, it was announced that any BiS member who was eliminated during the audition, would also be fired from BiS.

Aya was eliminated from the audition on March 27th, and she was fired from the group effective immediately.

On March 30th, the remaining members of BiS announced that they would disband in response to Aya Eightprince's and Toriaez Hana's firings from the group. Because of this, Aya and Hana were allowed to return to BiS until their disbandment.

BiS' second generation officially disbanded on May 11th. During their final show, Aya Eightprince announced that she would leave WACK entirely at the end of the month, using her remaining three weeks to search for work at another agency.

Trivia[]

  • During the BiS/GANG PARADE rental trade, Aya expressed her disdain towards being part of BiS, claiming that she would often receive rude remarks from staff, while she felt more welcomed as part of GANG PARADE. This conflict was seemingly a factor into Aya's eventual firing from BiS; one of the reasons why Aya was eliminated from the WACK AUDiTiON CAMP 2019 was that she was ranked as the least-liked member during a survey of staff members.
  • Aya's audition name, "Koshouji Megumu", is a parody of Coshoji Megumi.
  • In an interview, Aya talked about a bisexual girl in the audition camp that tried to hit on her. It's likely that she's talking about Terashima Yuka, who came out as bisexual during the audition.
  • Can play the saxophone.
  • Was the only member of BiS 2nd to be promoted to BiS 1st during the BiS.LEAGUE period.
