Fickle Monkey

Why a Johnny's boy in particular? Sure they're popular and has some good looking members, but seriously. There are other males out there, and Aichan may not even be interested in hooking up with another celebrity. Maybe a normal, non-celebrity status guy? OR a girl? (You never know what happens in an all-female idol group like Morning Musume. Especially with those lip-to-lip kisses and groping that happens on stage, as well as admiration a girl has for another member. And one can never be too sure of their sexuality. )

Anyway, thanks a bunch for the links and pictures, lovemusic. Another interview of Aichan concerning Harry Potter? Awesome. A delve deeper into Aichan's other fandom is so totally worth it. I want to see (or read) more of her geekiness.

I found that CM so random, and so incredibly amusing. What's the meaning behind Morning Musume fishing, anyway? Aichan looking bored and pouting was very cute, though.

How strange. It seems like Aichan's the only one wearing a costume that isn't even slightly revealing. She's usually the one garbed in extremely short skirts and tops that exposed a fair amount of skin. But I've no problem with it, in fact, I actually find it relieving. I always find myself feeling worried whenever I see any of the girls wearing extremely short skirts and the like, and it's a bit of a peeve of mine. So, seeing her in that kind of costume as shown in the photo is a rarity, and quite refreshing. But... damn it! They should've at least shown her abs!

^I bought that issue of Otaku USA just for the sole reason of seeing Morning Musume inside the magazine as well. But what took me by surprise was that it's an interview of Aichan, and Aichan only. When I saw the big photo of Aichan in her Shouganai Yumeoibito outfit, I kinda spazzed out, went all fangirly, and immediately purchased the magazine. I wouldn't have minded an interview of the whole group, but seriously... an Aichan-only interview is pure awesomeness.

So the next Ichigo Ichie guest is Aika? That's awesome! AiTsui interaction is incredibly rare, so I'm very much looking forward to the coming Ichigo Ichie episode. My two faves. Yay!

@CDevil and Kipp, your translating (or interpreting) efforts are very much appreciated.

Is it just me, or does Aichan's other nickname sound a bit boyish? It must be because "-kyun" sounds terribly like "-kun," which, if I'm correct, is mostly used in boys' names. But it's still a cute nickname, though. In fact, I actually quite like it. I might even start calling her that from now on. Back then, however, when she was asked a similar question, she answered that people just refer to her as "Aichan". I wonder who started calling her "Aikyun," since seems to have been made just recently. (I've a feeling that it's Sayumi, but one can never be too sure. )

Q. Favourite phrase?
A. Yes, we can

Yep, that's Takahashi Ai. Leader of Hello!Project.

In Aikyun we trust. Yes, we can!

she just giving those " i dont give a damn about you" feelings

I totally agree. She's definitely got the expression down. I absolutely love the closeups where she's got the whole piercing gaze going on whenever she gave off the icy and aloof look whilst playing with her hair or just plain staring into the camera. She was so purely badass and so darn hot. If there was an individual closeup version, I'd probably die watching it.

And good eye, *AlwaysAi(^o^)! I didn't even notice Aichan's little mistake in the dance shot version.
