Oh god, this was a while ago when YouTube was still pretty young. My friend, who was Japanese-American, had discovered Mini Moni and showed me their PV for "Strawberry Pie". I thought it was so weird but quirky! This was around 2006 that she showed me this stuff. Anyway, I was hooked and when I came across "CRAZY ABOUT YOU" and "Lucky Cha Cha", I got interested in Ai-chan. Researched her and found out she was in MM along with Kago and Tsuji.
And yup. So, thanks to my friend, YouTube and Ai-chan!
