Kago Ai makes the first step in her return
Submitted 2007-02-22 07:20 PM
Just over a year after being suspended for smoking while underage, Kago Ai has given an interview to Friday magazine - the very same magazine that broke the original story and published the infamous smoking pictures.
Kago, looking in great shape and much thinner then in previous years, is shown out walking around, and then sitting down to talk to the reporter and pose for pictures.
She is said to have decided to take control of her life and wants to return to singing, moving back to the Tokyo area away from her family to live on her own, and work in the offices of UFA (the agency responsible for Hello! Project members) while they decide on her future. There had been minimal contact with other members while she was away, and many didn't immediately recognise her with her new look when she appeared backstage at the recent concert in Yokohama. Full scans in the comments.
