"Son of a bitch forgot about me already..."

Ain't true! 'onest, I swear.

(she's actually just not used to her new hair colour there... /white girl problems)

Wonder if she's gonna blog more or less now...

Well, she's not slowing down at least. Let's at least catch up quick and dirty, with some highlights.

Gotta love the look of this, even if she's going kinda Guychan again... oh hi, tongue.

http://ameblo.jp/takahashiai-blog/entry-11057893133.html

First of the photoshoots for Rudo magazine. This issue, it looks like. Should be out then, maybe scans soon. Sexay.

http://ameblo.jp/takahashiai-blog/entry-11058244181.html

There's that silly hairstyle! Don't mind, with all the skin and all. Nom nom.

And who could forget the cousins. That's two degrees of enthusiasm right there. Smile, Riku, smile.

Plenty of nice close-ups...

Quick and dirty, like I said. She's been busy... the nerdy pics are great, she sure likes her huge glasses.

Whew, at least we're up to speed. For sources just start here and then click previous for like 50 times...

Last but not least, here's some photos from what looks to be her 2012 calendar.

Daily Yomiuri had a piece today written by Takamasa Sakurai ( http://twitter.coom/sakuraitakamasa) discussing the potential of J-Pop ideals versus Hanryu Power. The story features his interview with Ai chan.

http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/features/arts/T111018004286.htm

LOOKING EAST / Potential of J-pop idols unlimited
Takamasa Sakurai / Special to The Daily Yomiuri
please read the whole article if you are interested, and here is a snippet....
<..."I interviewed Ai Takahashi, who recently "graduated" from the pop group Morning Musume after leading the group for more than four years. She was a member for more than 10 years and held a farewell concert at the end of last month at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan.

There're two reasons why I wanted to ask her about the trend.

First, in the summer of 2009, Morning Musume attracted about 4,000 people to a concert in Paris despite a relatively high ticket price of 30 euros (3,000 yen), proving the potential of Japanese idols to expand activities overseas.

Secondly, I was at the Paris concert and deeply touched by the quality of their performance. Since then, I've followed Morning Musume concerts as a writer. Watching the group for years, I'm always astonished by Takahashi's exceptional talent--her outstanding performances can be said to embody how a Japanese idol should be, as well as her leadership skills"......>

Thank you Daily Yomiuri for your continued support of J-pop!!!

Gasp! Some Halloween action including pics from her calendar shoot. Bewitching stuff.

Vamp #1, Vamp #2, Juichi Kobayashi, Stylist

Sticking to the horror theme, here's some pimpin' and backstage of the upcoming blood-sucking goodness. Plus some hangin' out with stylists and choreographers.

#1, #2

Deep stuff here. Yes, Aichan. As long as we can watch you strut your stuff, at least.

#1, #2

Nishida, Ai, Sayu, Miki

5th gen

And more pics and bondin'. The chick in yellow is Natsumi Nishida, who auditioned for MM along with Aichan, it seems.

This just in. Aichan on the cover of Urala magazine. Ahh, love it.

Konnichiwa, Aichan...some video promoting her new play:

Seeing all these photos with her and Ogawa makes me wonder if a year or two from now they'll be speaking awkward English to each other (if they don't already).

muppet · « **Reply #2964 on:** November 10, 2011, 01:38:51 AM »

Here Ai appars at a press conference for the play she appears in. We get to hear her sing a duet, and then costar Rina Chinen says complimentary things about Ai,and Ai is all humble and dayum...............Ai chan is so cute.

But at same time she is seasoned pro, and ready to take the theatre world by storm!!!

Rina is from the same talent school in Okinawa as Namie Amuro and SPEED, and she used to be a regular on Yoru Mo Hippare....but she has moved on to acting full time. Looking good, great to see her.

What is that curl I see?!?! .. Oh, it's Sara's curl, nvm

I guess she's mostly been busy with her play? Feels so quiet mang

kjpop · « **Reply #2972 on:** November 25, 2011, 10:14:02 PM »

^ Not too quiet for her lol she seems quite busy! ahah another play?

CHEF AIBUTT?!

Tuffty · « **Reply #2973 on:** November 26, 2011, 01:07:24 AM »

Delicious Aibutt on the menu? Yes please!

Vaguely reminds me of something else, did Ai-chan ever do something for a TV show where she was a waitress or a fast food clerk?

kawaii beam · « **Reply #2974 on:** November 26, 2011, 02:47:50 AM »

you're probably thinking of hello!channel where she was able to do a part time job at mcdonalds with a few other h!p members

Curtain Call from opening night of her play:

DAT OUTFIT!

shirenuファクトリー · « **Reply #2976 on:** November 27, 2011, 10:44:34 PM »

Damn those teeth must be damn distracting hahaha she keeps feeling them inside her mouth

Ah she's such a petite little thing

Stryfe · « **Reply #2977 on:** December 03, 2011, 10:23:36 AM »

Oh she's busy alright, some people just spend too much time playing games and shit. Aichan of all people would understand, though. :3

--

RAWR. Yeah, she's totally embarrassed by the fake teeth in the curtain call vid, barely smiling at all.

The highlight of said vid is no doubt the unnatural undead grace of the AiVampire. Dat outfit indeed.

And in case anyone didn't notice... AIBUTT FLASH! Yes indeed, when it comes to ass, here at jphip we deliver!

--

Let's unload the blog with some highlights...

Always love her extreme close-ups. Expressions galore!

A few pics of the other two prominent Takahashi ladies. Still staying mysterious... Aichan's little sis and mom. Been a while.

I'm tempted to crop this one a little.

Kodak moments aplenty. More pics from the Korean Adventures of Takagaki.

And more!

Various bondin'...

Man, what a poser.

Might as well end with a pair of these. Here's hoping next blog update won't take me another month.

Tuffty · « **Reply #2978 on:** December 03, 2011, 12:40:47 PM »

Bite me Ai-chan! BITE ME!! ...Ahem sorry bout that. Really, I'm quite surprised nobody's thrown the term 'Vamp-AI-re' about yet. Or maybe it's only me

Dat outfit! Such grace, it's mesmerising to watch over and over again and not just because of the Aibutt flash

shirenuファクトリー · « **Reply #2979 on:** December 03, 2011, 01:11:48 PM »

Oh gosh, I had missed Aifashion so much ;_;

Butt!
