When looking at her agency's website I wonder, do they even have other signed talents? Also, the bland mess of photos of Ai on the front page makes UFA's photographers look like Hedi Slimane.

I remember reading somewhere that after all the scandals, the only agencies that are willing to take Kago are unknown/only take foreigners/etc. With this battle between Mainstream and all the previous scandals, I guess it's going to be more difficult to get a decent agency for Kago in the future. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> But hey, if the porn thing is true, maybe this will make the public side with her instead.



Take this post with a grain of salt.

Mainstream's president's comment makes him sound like a complete asshole. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... mellow.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mellow:' /> Rather than talk about my issues, let me remind Kago her boyfriend sucks? What the hell, man? She's obviously got bigger issues, so why be such an enormous asshole about that? And if these claims of pornography are true, I'd feel bad about Kago's agency persuading her forcefully or otherwise to join the porno industry. :/ If she joined on her own volition, that's one thing, but that's really dodgy for an agency to be encouraging a talent to do that... Maybe just another in the list of her bad life choices was joining this agency... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':confused:' />

Wasn't her photobook with them?

You know...the one she posed nude in for quite a few pages?

It would make a lot of sense if so.

Kago Ai released from hospital

Posted on September 18, 2011 by tokyograph

Late on Friday night, Kago Ai (23) posted a message on her Twitter account, revealing that she was released from the hospital. Her lawyer previously stated that even though she was healthy, she wasn’t released earlier because of fears that she may attempt suicide again if left alone. It is now reported that she is currently staying at a friend’s house and will be under watch around the clock.



Sources say that she left the hospital on Friday night. She was picked up and taken directly to the friend’s house without returning to her Roppongi apartment. At about 1:00am that night, she sent out the Twitter message, apologizing to everyone for causing concern. She stated that she plans to properly rest for now.



Kago was originally planned to be released around the 20th, the day that her boyfriend Ando Haruhiko (44) is expected to be released from police custody. However, due to her quick recovery, it was decided that she could be released earlier.



As reported before, Kago’s suicide attempt appears to have partially been caused by the battle with her management agency Mainstream. Kago is still choosing not to contact Mainstream’s president, who says he heard about Kago leaving the hospital from magazine reporters. The Sankei Sports newspaper corroborated an earlier report that one reason Kago was seeking independence from Mainstream was that she was cast without her consent in a pornographic film based on an erotic novel.

Yep, the old saying is "Down the road, not across the street".



I'll admit, I was drawn to the tawdry train-wreck aspect of Kago's post UFA career, but this is pretty tragic.



FWIW, none of us know if she was offered any sort of help in the past.

YEAAA~~ ♪ SacredCultivator too but I think he doesn't frequent here often~! ;D SOOO 3.5 BBSers REPRESEEENT! Thanks SO much again for submitting AP~! ♥ I was really happy when I check the gmail address and saw a submission from you! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />♥~!



And the video area was shrank due to a technical error. Our original fansubber from Hello!Fansubs was affected by the nasty weather over in Tokyo, so she had to back down. I had to edit the credits and thank the new fansubber ( soranaka ) but the editing file was corrupt so I had to redo the credits and use the finished video (as apposed to the project file). I am assuming because I had to edit off the final 'flattened' video file it shrank it a little bit. I can't seem to figure out why else it would be that small because the original video had black space but less of it.



It was a new program for me, so I am still getting used to it. But hey, it kinda works out and makes the video less cluttered with the subtitles. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

Boo!



Yeah, talked to Usako about the different resolution of the final product and asked if perhaps she wanted to try at making it larger, but we settled with what we had.



Though I do agree with you Ap2000, that the video would have been a tad larger just so there isn't as much "black space" as there is.



We tried =/



But can finally say it's done and on YouTube and for Usako to work her magic to get Kago to see it.

A wonderful job. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> Thank you so much, Usako and SacredCultivator.

Now if only it can reach Aibon. I like that the subs. are big.



Curious to know who else from the board is in it besides me, Usako and...Ap2000. (Which one are you, Ap?)

At first I was like, hmm is that a good/bad thing that the subs are big?



Since I had a hard time deciding if I wanted to shrink it more or not.

That was Josh, known on Hello Online as "the Mozenator." He's not a member here, although I tried to get him to join. He's the one who's been with me and Usako on all our Aibon adventures in New York.

I don't know anything about Mozenator, so I'm NOT talking about him. He seems like he'd be a nice addition to our crew.

But there are a lot of weeaboos on other H!P-related sites that I'm glad are not part of this board.
