H!B: Aibon's mum blesses boyfriend

Aibon, What Would Your Mother Say?

YO's rating: A | Paul Thomas, otherwise known as simply "Tom," has been producing a splendidly informative music blog now for quite some time, with his now-famous Hello Project group polls of Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo and °C-ute to his credit. He scores here with excerpts from a magazine interview with the mother of Aibon, the former Morning Musume and "W" star who is no longer singing but has surfaced publicly for the first time since her ouster in 2006. Aibon's mom actually likes the man who is now Aibon's boyfriend, despite his being nearly 20 years her senior. No hints here as to Aibon's future plans, but a good read nonetheless!
