Soon to be graduated though still Morning Musume leader Takahashi Ai will be promoting the beauty of Fukui Prefecture across Japan. Takahashi is from Fukui, and so the appointment was a particularly special one for her. She was granted the title of “Fukui Brand Ambassador” officially by Fukui’s governor, Nishikawa Issei, at the prefectural office.
Takahashi expressed her goal by saying, “I want many people to know the qualities of Fukui Prefecture.” She continued, “Fukui has clean air, and the people are kind.”
Representatives of Fukui prefecture hoped for Takahashi to do her best in her new role, as they said, “Her margin of activities will widen, so we want her to sight-see and spread Fukui’s charm.”
Takahashi is set to graduate from Morning Musume in just a few days on September 30th. Though she will still be with H!P to begin her solo activities her departure from Morning Musume will be difficult on the group. With our favorite, Kamei Eri, and now leader Takahashi Ai leaving, Morning Musume is greatly diminished.
