As spotted by Kotaku and now doing the rounds on the Internet to much hilarity, ex-Morning Musume idol cutie Ai Takahashi has been photographed posing innocently with a t-shirt that says boldly “I am a whore”.
Another Morning Musume graduate Yuko Nakasawa had the offending image of Ai Takahashi taken when the 27-year-old Takahashi visited Fukuoka for some filming. After it was then uploaded to her blog it quickly went viral and Ai Takahashi’s reputation as a sweet girl-next-door-type immediately went out the window.
Takahashi also uploaded it to her blog (both posts now long gone). Not as bad as the “I love cock” kids TV presenter scandal a while back, but, given Takahashi’s fandom, this couldn’t be a more ironic (or is that truthful?) error of judgment.
Far from just being a bunch of gaijin pointing and sniggering, the Japanese online media actually have picked this up and been just as scathing.
We can probably safely assume that Takahashi’s stylist is no longer working for her. Maybe we should give her an award for her efforts? Finally someone wrote the reality about idols!
Here is Ai Takahashi in non-whorish wear.
