On June 24, 2009, the infamous Kago Ai released her first solo single after the big scandals. (For those that don’t know, she was caught smoking in 2006, when she was only 18. Then she was caught dating an older man AND smoking, which prompted her release from Hello!Project.) The title track, “no hesitAtIon,” is a cute little ditty with lyrics that were written by Aibon herself. At first listen, the song seems like a fairly typical pop tune. However, after a few rotations, you can hear the “Kago-ness” come out. Lately, Aibon has kind of dubbed herself a spokesperson for teaching young people how to behave properly. (Meaning not smoking or having risky sex…things like that.) As such, this song has an uplifting message about starting over and being yourself. Granted, it’s not quite as good as the B-side, “Children of the Night,” but it is still a really great song. I hope she keeps going long enough to release a full album on her own.
