On 14th September, 20 years ago, a cute, playful baby girl was born in Fukui, Japan.


She was her parents’ first child, and her grandparents’ first grandchild, so she was where everyone’s attention went. Her name is Takahashi Ai. At first, her parents was to name her as “Yui”, but finally, they decided to named her “Ai”, a name which was said to be able to bring good luck to her.

Aichan was a playful little girl who loved her father and grandmother more than her mother. She was also a curious, naughty little girl. Once when she was young, her mother left her sleeping at home and went to a store only a few minutes away from her house. But when her mother came back, she was gone, and her mother needed to go around and find her. At the end, she was found playing with some other kids in the playroom (?) in the opposite apartment.


While she was playful and active, she loves singing and dancing very much. So she took ballet and voice lessons, which turned out prepared her for her career when she got older.

26th August, 5 years ago, 14 years old Aichan was picked by Tsunku, for her excellent singing skill, to join Morning Musume as one of the four 5th generation members.


Aichan first got fans' attention with her Fukui dialect, which was quite hard to understand XD. Ishibashi from Utaban said Aichan talked like Morse Code and gave her a nickname called "Tettekette-".


But of course, Aichan was not just there because she talked funny. She was picked by her beautiful voice. It was only her 2nd single as a Morning Musume member when she took her first centre position in “Souda! We’re Alive”. In the same year, Aichan acted as the main role in the Documentary Drama “Angel Hearts”. In the drama, Aichan first experienced being a cheerleader.


Aichan continuously being the aces of 5th generation members, as well as Morning Musume since then. She continuously improves herself in singing and dancing, and tries her hardest in her career. She takes everything seriously, even playing games in Hello! Morning. XDD


When 6th generation and 7th gernation joined, Aichan as a senior members, had became a good friend, as well as good senpai to them.


Aichan’s talent was widely approved, and in August this year, Aichan took the main role in Morning Musume x Viyuden’s musical – “Ribbon no Kishi”, in which, she acted the heroine, Sapphire, who has both the boy and girl spirit. It was a difficult role, but Aichan had done very well on it and praised by almost every audiences.

Today, Aichan has turned 20 years old, an age to turn into “adult” in Japan. But I hope Aichan can forever be who she is, no matter how old she actually is.


Happy Birthday, Aichan. I wish you a fantastic and very happy 20 years old!!
