Kago Ai forming a girl group?
I waited a few days to see if anyone else knew about this, (I hope I didn't break any topic posting rules)
Aibon announced on her blog that she is forming a new 4 member girl group (Including her). Its for girls ages 15-21, they have to live in Tokyo area.
Kago is going to pick 2 of the girls and apparently she is looking for girls with special abilities.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
4 members, including herself, but there will be 4 girls? Who is the 4th? Also, why is the age limit so low? A 15 year old working alongside Kago would just be strange at this point...

You mean like a 12 year old Kago working along side a 27 year old Yuko Nakazawa?

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
A little more in depth info:
It's backed by Diamond Blog.
It's supposedly going to be crowd-sourced. "Fans will submit lyrics, music, costume design, etc, and it will be voted for online."
They're looking for 2 to 4 members, aged 15-21.
Will be taking requests for cover songs on various themes - e.g., girls group songs from the 90's.
The set list for concerts will voted on by the fans.
And some stuff from elsewhere:
Stage 1: Judging of documents
Stage 2: Judging of singing and dancing
Stage 3: Interview, swimsuit and special talent
Fans will vote on the girls who pass the third stage. 1 month for entries, 1 month for auditions, 1 month for voting, 2 weeks to count votes.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
No, more like a 15 year old working along a media trainwreck mid-20s mother with a criminal history. I like Kago and want to see her do well, but anything she does at this point should be more mature, or at least genuine, and a girl group with teenagers won't make for this and would just be horribly strange and artificial. Even if it ends up being more mature and genuine, a teenage girl would seem out of place and forced. There are exceptions, but...

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
Mmmmm the judging in this thread is delicious.
I for one am excited to see what she comes up with since this isn't an "idol" group, just a girl group.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
It'll be interesting since the decisions are crowd sourced. Im wondering what agency she's under now.

This is a pretty cool concept. I wish I was good at writing pop music.
I hope online voting will not be the only arbiter of these things, though, as that could lead to hijacking/trolling or just general poor decisions. This has the potential to be brilliant, but it has an even bigger chance to suck really bad.
I still have a soft spot for Kago, though, so I'm hoping this ends well.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
Since it was mentioned, this is Kago's agency. She's the only name they have right now, so she was probably involved in setting it up.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
I would've thought that she'd be writing the songs since she seems to be pretty good at it :) No Hesitation and Children Of The Night are beautiful especially Children Of The Night :)
Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
I heard through an unnamed source that is probably 95% bogus that the agency Kago is in now, was set up by her husband.
In any event, I like the concept of a fan made music group and can't wait to see where it goes. Also, still have a soft spot for Kago, so I do hope she can turn her life around and do some good. Every train wreck needs their Robert Downy Jr. moment!

This is a place where a signature goes. Enjoy some Airi instead.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
^ I agree, the poor girl has gone through a lot and I've pretty much forgiven her. I agree with you about the fan made music too :) Even though I would've liked it if she wrote the music herself I'm still going to give the fan music a chance because it'll mean that this group is performing songs that the people want :)

Still need someone to actually compose the songs...

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
I still love Aibon and anything that might allow me to still see and hear new things out of her is a good thing in my book. I really hope that this works out for her because the poor girl has been through enough.

Of course but I'd still love to see a lot of creative input from Aibon herself :)

I'm still not quite sure what to think about this... I'm excited then I'm not.
Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
What do you call a four member girl group by Kago?
Well, we all know that the most appropriate name is already taken.
I'm excited for this, but I have no idea what kind of sound to expect.

So that made me laugh way harder than I should've! SCANDAL XD
I don't know about what style. Kago's solo style was like jazz/country-ish, but they might be just your normal bubblegum pop group, who knows.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
There are some youtube clips of the auditioners. They've narrowed it down to 15 girls:
Clip 1
Clip 2
Clip 3 This is the one to watch if you want to see some of them sing.
Clip 4
Clip 5
And lots of pictures on the page I got the clips from.
There were two girls who I didn't think were very cute but other than that no one actually sticks out as particularly awful. As far as idol auditions go, I think they've narrowed it down to a pretty decent set of girls.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
The left girl, from those two pictures, really is quite a looker.
*dodges Thea's killer knife-throwing*
They really have narrowed it down to a pretty talented group of girls. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this group.
Has the name been revealed yet?

That's what I thought too. The girl on the right is really cute.

Lol.
I can't stand the girl at 1:48 on the first video. Other than that they all seem fine to me. I'm really curious to see how this turns out, however.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
I like that the girls are really pretty. Usually older stars pick girls uglier than them so they stand out.
I feel like Kago's scandals were no different than the crap that child stars in America go through. Thankfully she's no Miley. What teenager doesn't do stupid stuff, hopefully she learned her lesson.
Genuinely excited to see how this goes

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
I'm personally more interested in the stupid stuff Kago's done as an adult. Smoking and dating older guys don't really interest me as far as scandals go.
That said, I think this will die off like Kago's last few efforts, but I hope it's awesome and gives us good releases or something first.

Re: Kago Ai forming a girl group?
I wish she'd do another solo album. And make a return trip to New York.
