8.06 Kago Update:

Early reports said Kago was retiring from show business, but a new rumour has her coming back in the fall or winter.

She has spent the last five months living in the suburbs of Nara prefecture with her family and has avoided all public contact.

Below is a tender video chronicling her friendship with Nozomi Tsuji, her 'W' singing partner and best friend, from ages 12 thru 17. (The cigarette incident happened the day after Kago's 18th birthday.)

The video is 8 minutes long, and 29mb to download.
"That's a hella big dl, is it worth it?"
"It has Kago & Tsuji in it - take a wild guess..."
