The following year she appeared in three films: 淀川長治物語　神戸篇　サイナラ, Swing Man, as Minase and Futami, and Eureka (Yûreka), as Kozue Tamura. She also made her debut on Japanese T.V. in the series “Hatachi no kekkon” (literal translation: “Wedding at 20”) in 2000.

Continuing into the early 2000s, Aoi Miyazaki appeared in the T.V. series “Furê furê jinsei” (literal translation: “Proclamated Life”) in 2001, and took leading roles in the films Harmful Insect (Gaichu, 2001) as Sachiko Kita; Pakodate-jin (2002) as Hikaru “Pikaru” Hino; and she starred as Tomie Hasimoto opposite Nozomi Andô as Tomie Kawakami in Tomie: The Final Chapter—Forbidden Fruit (Tomie: Saishuu-sho—kindan no kajitsu), a horror film about cloning and stem-cell research, in 2002. In 2003, Aoi Miyazaki played Yume Kikuchi in the T.V. series “Someday’s Dreamers” (“Mahô tsukai ni taisetsu na koto”).

Aoi Miyazaki’s latest projects for 2007 include the films Tôkyô tawâ: Okan to boku to, tokidoki, oton, Sad Vacation, in which she takes a leading role, and Hatsukoi no yuki: Virgin Snow, in which she stars as Nanae Sasaki alongside Jun-gi Lee as Min Kim. On television, Aoi Miyazaki appeared in the series “Junjo Kirari” (literal translation: “Pure Heart”) in 2006, and is slated to appear in a new series “Atsu-hime” (literal translation: “Thicky Princess”) come 2008.
