Current Morning Musume leader Ai Takahashi held a handshake event on April 15th to promote her newest photobook, “LOVE NO. 10“.

Released almost a year since her last one, the new photobook proved to be popular, drawing out many fans who were eager to meet the 24-year-old singer.

Takahashi thanked fans through her blog, talking enthusiastically about the handshake event and all the fans that came out for it.


“To the people who came out… thank you so much!!!!! I love to talk to you and see your faces. I was a little nervous… but I’m happy, of course.”

The singer crafted a donation box with the words “Pray for Japan” in an effort to draw attention to the recovery effort that the country is still going through.
