Kago Ai in hot water again



In next week's issue of Weekly Gendai, there is a feature article on Kago Ai, featuring pictures of her holding hands and sitting in a car with an older man.

The man is apparently the owner of the popular cafe "SOMA", Ishimoto Yasuyuki (37 years old). On March 18th, they traveled to Kusatsu and Yubatake (famous Hot Spring resorts in Japan). The two were seen together in a car, and stayed in a 25,000 yen/night stateroom.

The Weekly Gendai paparazzi team was tailing Kago & Ishimoto while they were on their trip to Kusatsu. When Kago & Ishimoto got back to Tokyo, they were met at a parking garage in Roppongi hills where they met and talked with the Gendai reporter. Ishimoto handled answering the questions. Apparently, he told plenty of lies to the reporter, like Kago is his "cousin", "this is a family function", "we are a part of the party of 7 tourists", etc.

The cameraman for Weekly Gendai said that he saw Kago smoking in the car, but there are no pictures to verify this.

According to the article, UFA responded to the Gendai reporter with the following: "We heard he is one of Kago's close friends. But if it's true that she spent the night (with him), she would be acting imprudently."

This next part is taken from a message board post on 2ch, so take it with a grain of salt: According to some anonymous media person, UFA was forcing Kago's comeback through, but she had been lacking enthusiasm and passion for her comeback, saying "I'm tired", "I wanna get married" and the like. After this incident, her future once again becomes unclear.

By the way, the current chief editor of the Weekly Gendai is Kato Haruyuki, who was the chief editor of Friday magazine at the time of the first "Kago smoking" incident.
