History
In 2000, she passed the audition, and joined as a fourth generation mamber of Morning Musume with Rika Ishikawa, Hitomi Yoshizawa, and Nozomi Tsuji. In June, she joined Tanpopo with Rika Ishikawa. In January, 2001, she formed Minimoni with Mari Yaguchi and Nozomi Tsuji. In September, 2002, she graduated from Tanpopo with Kaori Iida and Mari Yaguchi. In May, 2004, she formed W (Double U) with Nozomi Tsuji. On August 1, they graduated from Morning Musume.
The kiddie ride and mini-coaster had Aibon with the date; at one point, it was shown that Mikitty and Mari, shrieking on the kiddie ride, were 20 and 22, respectively.
Aibon - and oh, I love her for this - took it a step further by banging on the door and the walls to increase the fright factor for Mari.
Kei came in with the box, Aibon was afraid it was something with a nasty surprise (being la belle dame sans merci, she knows the value of paranoia), but it turned out to be beautiful sketches of each of the three girls.
