In April 2011, Aoi had a starring role in the Indonesian horror movie "Suster Keramas 2" ("Shampooing" or "Evil Nurse 2"), making her the third Japanese AV actress to appear in Indonesian films recently. (The others being Rin Sakuragi in the original "Suster Keramas" and Maria Ozawa, known in Indonesia as "Miyabi", in the 2009 film "Kidnapping Miyabi".) The earlier films, although very successful, engendered protests from conservative Muslim groups in Indonesia, so Aoi's trip to Indonesia and participation in the film were kept secret. Aoi said that working in Indonesia gave her pause but she wanted to expand her mainstream career and that she was "really looking forward to coming into contact with foreigners and engaging in communication."
