Well, there you go then. That explains it. She wants a baby. But is having a baby with a 37 year old really going to work?
Maybe she wants to get divorced really early so she'll be a single mother... in that letter it seemed she wanted to get more responsible.
I feel sorry for her. I think that even from the start, she knew things would go wrong. Poor AB blood Aibon.

Thanks, HPS.
I think we're all too negative about this. Aibon has fulfilled her dreams, she's been a singer, she's been famous, she's been on Kouhaku. Now if that guy really loves her and they get children, everything's just how she wished for, right? We can't be selfish and claim Aibon for us, she had planned this since she was 12, we should be just happy for her. I am. The friday mag just enforced what she would have done anyway (probably at the age of 20). Well, it's not a nice way to quit, but ok.

Well.. she wrote this when she was 12.. don't get any idea's, people :/
However (maybe since I'm such a sensitive person), this is really touching with the thought in mind of all her funny days @ Momusu.

While I'm still sad over the way she left, I guess I can't be mad. If she really wants to leave singing and start a family all I can do is wish her luck. Although I would think she could do better than that guy, if she does love him we can't really judge her. But I'm still mad over the smoking thing :(

This letter couldn't be any more fitting for the current situation. Well, it's good to know that she has fulfilled half of her dream so far. I was actually quite sad to hear that she was fired from Hello!Project, but this letter helps show that Kago knows what she is doing. Then again, she wrote this when she was twelve - maybe it's just coincidence.
I reflect that same curiosity with your question, /Flame. "Is being with a man who is 37 years old going to work?" Or better yet, "Why a 18 years older?" Who knows? All I can do is to wish Kago and her future family the best just like I have been doing ever since the crushing news. There's just one thing about that letter, though. Kago never mentioned what age she'd like to become a smoker. Hehe, jk
Thanks For The Translation

Wow... This just starts up all the sad stuff again...
I understand having that dream when you are twelve but I am very sad that she stuck so hard to it. I would have hoped she liked performing enough to stay. And this is definitly the wrong way to leave really. But if it is what she wants we can't stop her. And if she truely loves the guy, as much as it grosses me and everyone else out, well shouldn't we wish her happiness with him? Let her follow her dream with him? Even if it isnt the way we would live our lives maybe it is right for her...

Well, all these shocking events eventually are explained. Kago san just wants to achieve the dreams that she has been holding in her mind so far. I have nothing more to say (Ronin already said it)... All I wish is our Aibon will be happy.
...PS: curiously this story reminds me of the manga named " I"s "... even though Aibon's lover is much older than the girl's boyfriend in " I"s "... : -|

Oh wow, That letter somehow comforted me in this time where everyone is upset and/or angey at what she has decided to do with her life. For a letter from a 12-year old this seems very mature (though it might just be me.) With everything is done, and all the shock has gone down with everyone, hopefully people will see the situation as it stands insted of being one sided in their stand. I will admit she was a good singer, and I know we all wanted her to leave MM and HP with dignity. I know we didn't get that, and for that I agree, but I wish her the best of luck in her future, and hopefully she will return in everyones thoughts, and hearts. Lets not get upset at the smoking thing, or this thing.. But remember the happy times she gave us, frankly I am thankful that she was part of H!P for a little while, and I hope she cherishes those memories just as much as I cherish them.

Indeed, this letter is tremendously comforting. It's too easy to think that Aibon has lost control of her life or fallen in with the wrong crowd or whatever, but this letter shows that she's done exactly what she set out to do. She is truly living her childhood dream. Good for her.

very sad, this whole thing. I am very happy for her though, this letter has somehow made me feel better. I have to agree with you all that her being with a 37 yr old is kinda weird and all. I mean I'm married to someone 7 yrs older than I, but not 18 yrs. But who knows? It might work out! Though I don't agree to how she left, I am very happy. Matta Ne Aibon! <3<3<3

I'm glad she went for her dream, she went and did it unlike some people who simply work to live, without touching their own dreams. Maybe all this was part of her plan. But the way she exited was something not really that glamorous - to end a career on a scandal, no less. She could have simply said she would like to quit or stop to focus on doing a family life... Something... like a glorious exit at the end of a play. Oh well, more power to her. :)

A relationship between a 18 year old girl and 37 man might odd or seem gross to some of you. But there is no reasons to so predjuidiced against it. My mom was 19 just like Aibon when she met my father who was even 42 with children from his first marriage. They have been together for almost 20 years now. My little brother and I are the prove that this kind of relationship can work out.

faerirose: Then whatever crazy fan wrote it back then is some sort of Nostradamus (Nostrawota?), and we should seek out more of his writings :)
Not to be mean or anything, but if you look at how much of the letter has come to pass, and even compare other Kago handwriting samples, it's quite a safe bet that it's real.

Makes me sad that we're losing her...

i don't understand why a lot of people are taking the "i want to become a mother at 20" part a little too seriously and connecting it with the current situation. it's just the hopes of a 12 year old. everyone had one of those. it doesn't mean she's desperate to have a baby with the ugly guy right now. i doubt this was part of the plan. it's more of a mistake on her part. but she's still young. hopefully she'd have learned a lot from what's happened. too bad she didn't be more careful after what happened the first time.

After reading this i don't feel angry at Kago, i feel sad....sad that her ambition in life was to be a singer then get knocked up at 20, 18 if she's extra lucky!
And if reading this letter is suppose to make me feel proud that she did what she came here for, THEN THINK AGAIN! hasn't being an idol taught her anything? Is it through a mangy smoking habit that she realises a thick philosophy? reading this pathetic letter has made me realise that Kago wasn't at ALL thinking about her fans throughout her stages in fame. That letter made such an appalling attempt to regain what i thought of her before. I actually wish i hadn't read that letter, reading it has just taken the only aspect which i could say Kago left with....Dignity....

I kind of agree with aimaime. I cant understad why someone would desire to become a mother at 19-20 either; but it seems like that's normal in Japan, remember one of the last Yaguchi Hitori shows of 2006? Mari said she wanted to get married and have children on 2007; she is 24 and feels like she's already late to become a mother.
It's like they feel they have to do it just like their respective progenitors, more an obligation than a whim... But well, I think that's culture and society stuff that depends on the country... On the other hand I recall someone saying that Kago is making childish decisions with more mature desires, and I agree with that too. Even if you have a dream that you managed to build when you were 12, it is not like it is going to become true just like that. People don't change, 'to change' is go from "being" to "not being"... Kago will be Kago Ai, for ever; but times DO change and we have to grow up and evolve. Heh, besides, there's enough people in the world already, why would we increase that number?
By the way, I'm Nikkei... Still, I can't understand some of the japanese ways of thinking.
-Noncha, I agree with you too-

@ aimaime - People are taking the "I want to become a mother at 20" part seriously because it allows us to infer a happy ending to what seems very much like a complete tragedy. A poor girl getting the shaft for no very good reason at all.

Wow. It's very telling of her mindset. Assuming she hasn't changed much, which appears to be the case, then I'd say good on her for following both of her dreams. But I'm sure she could have found someone better to have father a child.

Well, I'm not sure if she really feels the same now as she did back then. I sure wasn't the same person 7 years ago, nor did I have much of the same goals as I did back then. This whole situation could just be a big coincidence.
We might not ever know what she wants to do in life now, all we can do is wish her good luck.

Oh this was a setup for her future. So if she didn't do this, she'll still be in HP? Wow, she's slick, but it was a bad decision for the guy. But if she wants to do this, well its on her. We don't control another person right? Best of luck to her.

I'm happy Ai was able to fulfill her dream, and I hope the rest of her ambitious come true in the future if it's really what she wants. My ultimate wish is just for her to be happy.
This is somehow pretty freaky, though.....I don't know but it's strange how these things just kind of point to themselves--like those two extra flowers in the tenth anniversary. I never pay attention to things like this until they actually happen.

First, when the Scandal happend I got mad.Then when she went out with an older man I thought she was stuborn,stupid and can't decide whats good for herself. But this letter was so touching I thought she was different from when she was 12 and today,but she isn't. She made a promise for her self and still remembered them! Wow I like her! but that fugly man still pisses me off >> get a Handsome one Aibon! >>

Y'know... if people were pressuring her to stay in H!P, like her family or something, maybe she thought trying to get herself kicked out would be easier than leaving entirely.
Just a thought.

It’s pretty amazing that she had her life planned out in such detail and so far in advance at age 12, and for better or worse, even more amazing that she made it all happen almost exactly how she wanted it to (although I'm sure that leaving the idol world amidst scandal and shame wasn’t part of her dreams).
I do think it's a bit sad that one of her ambitions in life was to have a baby while almost still a child herself (most girls take steps to PREVENT that), but I'm not qualified to judge someone else’s dreams.
I’m surprised so many of you seem to believe she’ll end up with this guy. If it wasn’t just a fling, then I think it’s just a temporary thing at best. A girl can have 20 boyfriends before she even thinks about marrying one of them. I don’t think this is the man who will make her a “young mother” or the man she’ll marry. At least, I hope not. It wouldn’t be the first time a girl went for the first guy available just because she was desperate to have a baby. Many young woman want to have a baby so they have someone to love, someone to love them, and to feel needed. I hope those aren't her reasons. It would be sad if she felt she wasn't needed or wasn't loved.
As much as I think she made a big mistake, and also went about leaving in the wrong way, I hope, and I know most of you will join me in this, that a few years from now we’ll get the news of Kago’s wedding to a nice young man, and of a baby on the way. Then we can at least take comfort in the fact that Kago made each and every one of her dreams come true, even if we don't agree with them or how she went about achieving them.

What a cute letter. I must say, her writing is very neat/legible, especially for only being 12 years old. It seems that despite her young age, she's known for a long time what she'd like to do in life and I applaud her for that.
