Aika has never been my favourite Momusu member but I am fairly sure that she has always been in my top 5. The first morning musume music video that I happened to see was 'Nanchatte Renai' and despite not being prominently featured, Aika was captivating. I think most of it was that she was definitely the stand-out rapper in that song.
Here's Aika's solo shot as a little treat.
Another memory I have of Aika is seeing her performing her solo song 'Watashi no Miryoku ni Kizukanai Donkan na Hito' at the 2009 Spring tour. With a huge bow in her hair and adorable choreography, Aika was the epitome of idol cuteness. With fellow 8th gen members as back-up dancers all three of them shine and you realise just how much of a pity it is that they all had to graduate before their time.
Throughout her time in Morning Musume and Hello! Project Mitsui Aika has proved to be talented and an incredibly hard worker. Unfortunately some 'fans' don't appear to see this and are instead still bitter about Aika getting into Momusu rather than their audition favourite. I am pleased to inform you that I honestly feel that Aika was the most deserving Auditionee. She demonstrated her ability well and never cracked under the pressure. Over the past few years we have seen Aika mature from a cute thirteen year old into an admirable young woman. Despite being disheartened to see Aika graduate at such short notice without any major part in her last single and without any of the typical graduation bonuses such as photobooks and dvds, I am looking forward to see what life brings her in the near future. She deserves a lot.
光井愛佳卒業おめでとう！！
