(the) Road to the Deep East

Ex-Morning Musume member Kago Ai who was confined to her home for smoking in her minority 3 years ago, smoked again. It seems it was a famous movie star in Hong Kong Star Sammo Hung who put temptation in her way.

According to her blog, the story began when she had a diner with staffs of the movie she appeared on, the director, the producer, and some Hong Kong stars, Smmo, Venness Wu, and the person Kago calls 'Cherry Neesan.' (I'm not good at Hong Kong stars' names.)

Then, Sammo offered her a cigarette and Kago couldn't resist to this temptation.. She also challenged to the cigar, but she couldn't smoke.

Kago apologizes to fans on her blog: 'I smoked a little. I'm sorry, everybody. Although I promised (not to smoke again) before I left Japan. When I think of it, I'm kakkowarui. I hate myself.'

Just like some young American stars can't stop cocaine , it seems this Japanese star is addicted to tabaco.

... but anything wrong??

When she smoked first, she was 17 years old, but now she is 20, has already reached at smoking age in Japan. And she is also over the smoking age in Hong Kong (18). She doesn't violate any laws from any countries. This is just a typical story of nicotine addicted people, and we know well, including patients of alcoholic dependence, we don't have no means to cure them of this disease.

But there is one thing I could learn from this article. Kago-san, you don't pretend to be an idol girl anymore. Live as you like.

It's too painful and ridiculous that she apologizes to fans everyday: 'I'm so sorry, I drank a beer last night...' 'I smoke this morning... but it was rather than before. Just one roll of cigarette.' , forever.

Now it is rumored that she will be tagged with her ex-co-worker in Morning Musume, Goto Maki, and organizes a duo named 'L&L'(Lady and Love). And it is also rumored then they left the current agency and moves to avex trax. (According to the article from Tokyo Sports days back.)

If they move to avex, it's sure they don't have to behave like Morning Musume members any more. ' I'm virgin!! I don't smoke!!' I don't produce any unko!!'

Of course, they should watch out when they talk about a rotten womb of women over 30 years old then, but they will be able to behave more naturally.

And speaking of avex, it is very good at copying foreign music. Now Gomaki's brother became a gangsta robber, and Kago is a kind of addicted person. I t seems to me they can copy Lindsey Lohan well.
