Kago Ai Smokes Again

Aibon, left, here with Nono as 'W' in 2005, might soon pair with Gomaki, formerly of Hello Project but now with rival Japanese music combine Avex.

JAHPB: Aibon headed to ... acting?

YO's rating: B- | Didn't take long for air to start leaking out of this balloon. Just Another H!P Blog now reports that Aibon will return as an ... actress. Damn. I guess the Aibon story will be a never-ending series of ups and downs for her luckless fans!
HPF: On Aibon, time to cry
Submitted by YankeeOtaku on April 7, 2008 - 10:58am. Aibon | Hello Project | J-Pop | Morning MusumeYO's rating: A | As you can probably gather, none of the Aibon-related reviews here stand much of a chance at getting anything less than an "A." including Hello Project Fantasy, who let loose with tears upon learning of Aibon's remorseful resurfacing. Big bonus here: HPF includes a transcript of the Hello!Online translation off Part I of the scheduled six-part interview, including: "I wasn't self-conscious enough to become a proper working adult." That kind of says it all. Now I'm starting to bawl! Thanks, HPF.
KKB: Can't hate Aibon
Submitted by YankeeOtaku on April 7, 2008 - 10:41am. Aibon | Hello Project | J-Pop | Morning MusumeYO's rating: A- | Kira Kira Bomb shares what most Aibon fans possess: Blind devotion to a sensational, albeit notoriously unstable, legendary talent. The great thing here is that KKB openly says how painful it has been for fans to get jerked around by Aibon. Still, KKB shares in the renewed hope that Kago can come back -- for real this time around.

Yes, an Aibon sighting! But ... where, and when? Ok, Ok, it's in Some Boys! Blog (details remain quite sketchy, however).
