Kue Chans Journey of Discovery - 2/2 - the last of the 4th Generation

sorry this was so long awaited! ^-^'

I decided to do these two together since i couldnt find a way to split them without mentioning the other one.

Enjoy

W or double you

Currently double you is under hiatus while Kago Ai spends time suspended for being caught smoking in public (in japan it is illegal to smoke when you are under 20).

The leader is Tsuji Nozomi being the eldest of the two. It was destined for these best friends to make a group after they graduated from Morning Musume. When they joined in 2000 they were labeled by fans and co-members as the twins because of their physical similarities and later we found their personalities were quite similar too.

Being the youngest ever members of morning musume (at the age of 12) they were also labeled the trouble-makers. They were often pulling pranks on show hosts or other mm members and had many a joke to share when they had a chance. They are known for their funny faces and their random shinanagins.

Both were also rather talented in making impressions of various people and things. Tsuji took out the best impressions while Kago was also rather good. Tsuji is able to pull of an udo face as her most famous impression (shes also rather good at imitating a chicken).

At the Mechaike Bakajo Contest to see who was the dumbest morning musume member Kago and Tsuji were placed last with Nonno getting the Bakajo Label.

It seems that whatever group these two join has great success with Morning Musume having their best period while they were members and their involvement in Mini moni making it one of the most famous H!P groups (which is also on hiatus due to the 2nd leader Mika Todd leaving to study music in her home-country America). W was also doing extremely well up until the situation with Kago.



TSUJI NOZOMI or nono

Tsuji is Currently being kept busy as a sort of tag  along member of Hello! Project. She has her own T.V. show "Curious Nono" and is constantly on "hello! morning" also. She has just released her very own PB "Nonno 19". But we are yet to see her in a solo singing career (which is good news... i think).

Nono is well known for the hairstyle of a high-bun and her heavy white eyeliner underneath her eyes. This is a look that was coming in just before Kagos suspension and has been increased since. She also wears a "curious nono" t-shirt with overall-shorts in denim.

We see less and less of Nozomis Hilarious personality as time goes on without Kago. Its sad not to be amused by a performance from the comedians of H!P, W.

KAGO AI or aibon

Last week was the anniversary of her suspension and also a few days before that it was her birthday.

Tsuji and Kago had everything going for them but what made Kago take up smoking in the first place? Some say it was her fathers influence as he himself is a smoker and others say it was the stress she was under. Both of these suggestions seem viable but i think the most important thing is not the reason for her smoking but the reason for Tsunku holding her off for so long. This is a mystery to even the most fanatical fans. Most say that Tsunku is just trying to set an example but then it becomes confusing when you think about all the money he is wasting in doing it as Tsunku is a rather keen and clever business man. I'm sure he will surprise us one day with her return ( i hope).

There have been recent sightings of Kago but these are stalker photos which i do not support, i'd rather she had time to herself then the paparatzi hanging around  her but we can't stop the media now can we?

(that was so hard to pick out pictures... i have over 1000 )
