Some more info about the interview and Aibon's future plans from Tokyograph:

Apparently this part of the interview also aired on TV Asahi's morning news show "Super Morning" according to the articles Tokyograph linked.

It seems Aibon is still in the spotlight in Japan.  she is part of the Golden Era and one of the most lovable Musumes, i guess....

According to tokyograph (thanks to post above by doinkies), She been thru a terrible time, just like what some had imagine, including suicide.  really feel sorry for her, i don't think suicide is the answer to anything, even if she's been thru alot of pain. 

good thing she is okay now...
and now she IS planning on rejoining showbiz and publishing a book as well...
is some secrets gonna come out, momusu/H!P-wise?  would things will be revealed?

now about her image... she does look more mature, but..... probably a lil too mature.  Like an OL or some obaa-san.....
she does look somewhat cute, but still.... anywayz just my 2 centz, not a hater....

Yes, it seems there are still many people interested in her. There are several Kago Ai fan communities on mixi and the largest one has 1669 members...this news was reported in that community and the members were happy to see her back again...they were also happy that she was honest in the interview and didn't try to tiptoe around things like the pain she felt when she was fired (maybe TV Asahi showed more footage of the interview than OhMyNews has).

I'm glad that she seems OK now, I can only imagine how sad Aibon must have been to lose her job...it's sad to learn she cut her wrists...but she seems to be moving forward now and she looks good as well.

I heard the news from a Korean site,  so it already hit Korea....
guess this also have some fame in Korea... it may be covered as well in taiwan and hong kong, since they also have some fame there, too. After all, she is part of the golden era, even if the people now don't care for the current line-up (how sad)  they at least remember golden girls....

:) she looks really good. i dunno if she's trying to go back in showbiz or not, but either way, i hope she's happy. i know its still a very very slim chance but this gives a little more probability to what i've been hoping for for a long time...the return of tanpopo! haha

Not a fan of Kago but I do think she was one of the most entertaining brat in H!P back then.  I think she can join the comedy group 99 to make more interesting shows.  She can sing but with her tainted image and a cutesy face like this.  It will be hard to find a market for her to release any musics.

I definitely think the interview is planned as the first come back media reaction test.  Good luck, girl.

it'd be soooo cool if she could come back to hello project.  i mean as far as the "image/role model" thing goes, she went through some really hard times and made it through them.  she learned from her mistakes so therefore she's more of a role model.  she can help berryz/c-ute/whoever whenever they're down because she's been down that road and can maybe steer them in the right direction so that they won't end up where she was.  i know i'm being pretty optimistic with hoping she can still make a return to h!p.  she might not even want to go back to h!p.  i do think that if it was possible, it'd be a really smart decision for them to welcome her back though.

p.s. anyone wanna translate the interview??

yeah ..........




HK news link (brief summary of the new video in Chinese)

http://hk.news.yahoo.com/080407/12/2rxxa.html


very brief translation based on this newspaper ^_^
Quote
"After the dismissal, I was in emotional break down, with no work and money. At home I have to go through my brothers' scornfulness. In Japan, I was treated like criminals, so we (she&her bf) went to Los Angeles to stay low ..... I had cut my wrist many times with scissors…… the wounds are deep, and needed gauzes to stop the bleeding "

20yr old Kago admits that the man who's 18yrs older than her is her bf .... and luckily with his support, she's able to go through the tough times . The only thing she needs now is a job.  With no manager backing her, the only way she can re-recruit fans is by creating a Web sites that powered by Yahoo. According to a gossip site, she might write a book with explosive anecdote.
