More Aibon/W thoughts

It's really strange.

Every since this whole thing with Aibon started ... (that sounds as if it's been going on for ages, even though it only feels like time is dragging on painfully slow) ... ever since this whole thing with Aibon started I've been saving W/Aibon pictures like mad again.

I admit, they've been a bit out of my focus these last few months, even though Aibon started out as my early favorite (just for a couple of weeks, before I discovered Mari, and then Yuko and so on, but still).

It seems I needed this Aibon incident to remember just how much I love Tsujikago.

Looking at the pictures on my harddrive, it's incredible how grown up they've become, especially over the last year.

They're both 18 now, a magical number for almost every teenager on this world.

Thinking how they've been in this business for more than five years now may seem surprising to outsiders, but it is not really surprising when you watch them perform.

That's what makes Tsujikago special.

They are pros in this business.

They can do the whole idol thing perfectly, sing, dance, act.
Everything seems to come natural to them since they grew up learning all about it.

And still, when they perform, when they are being grown-up idols, they are still Tsujikago and the smiles on their faces haven't changed at all in the last five years.

Having this happen to them now is really unbelievable.

Because, it is happening to them, not just to Aibon.
They've always been a team, that's why they joined together, graduated together, and now are DoubleYou together.

In a couple of months, I'm sure, we'll look back on these weeks and it'll be just the same as things went with Nachi and Mari.

But right now, after W's last single gave them such a push into the adult section (not XXX, of course), this forced break in their career is definitely a step back and feels like one of the greatest injustices in showbiz.

And just because it was my actual starting point for this post, I'll put up some pictures as well.
