Kago Ai auditioned and got into Morning Musume's fourth generation at only 12 years old—the youngest at the time—and made her debut in May 2000 on the single "Happy Summer Wedding". Kago was also a part of the sub-groups Minimoni from 2000 to 2004 and Tanpopo from 2000 to 2002.

On 1 August 2004, Kago graduated from Morning Musume along with Tsuji Nozomi to form their own unit, W (Double-U).

On 26 March 2007, she was released from her contract with Up-Front Agency and is no longer part of Hello! Project. [1] An August 2007 interview with Kago's mother in Josei Seven magazine has revealed that since her termination, Kago Ai has left Japan and moved to New York City.[2]

On October 2007, it was said officially that Kago's mother, Kago Aki, will pose nude in a photobook produced by Motoji Takasu. [3]

Scandal and Termination

Main article: Kago Ai Smoking Scandal.

On 9 February 2006, it was confirmed that FRIDAY — the same tabloid magazine that prompted Yaguchi Mari in 2005 and later Fujimoto Miki on 1 June 2007 to resign from Morning Musume — would be publishing photos of Kago smoking while underage. Kago was immediately suspended from all work with Hello! Project, and she returned to her hometown of Nara to live with her family.

Kago's suspension ended almost one year later, in January 2007. She returned to Tokyo and began working as a receptionist in the offices of Up-Front Agency (UFA) while the details of her comeback were decided. The first news of her return appeared in the March issue of FRIDAY magazine, which was leaked onto the Internet on 22 February 2007.

On 24 March 2007, Weekly Gendai — another gossip tabloid — reported a new scandal involving Kago. The tabloid published photos that showed Kago visiting a hot springs resort with Ishimoto Yasuyuki (37), the owner of the popular SOMA café. The article that accompanied the photos said that the two had spent the night alone together, but that when confronted, they claimed to be cousins attending a family function.

Two days later, on 26 March, Up-Front Agency confirmed that the story was true as reported and that they had decided to terminate Kago's contract with the company.

Trivia

  • In the Mechaike Bakajo Kimatsu Test, Kago narrowly missed out on being crowned bakajo (Idiot Girl) after scoring two points more than Tsuji. However, in the Mechaike Okajo Taiikusai Test Kago was crowned kusojo (Crap Girl) with a score of 29 out of 100.
  • Kago and Tsuji shared the world record for the largest hula hoop spun at 4.08 m (13.4 ft) in diameter. They set their record on 1 January 2004, during a live New Year's Day television special at Nippon Television Network, Tokyo, Japan. [4] The record appeared in the 2005 and 2006 editions of the Guiness Book of World Records. 3/toys.pdf [5] The record was eventually broken by Ashrita Furman (USA) in September 2005. [6] [7]
  • Her Morning Musume mentor was Goto Maki.
