Yamamoto Ai (Aipon) / Team 8

Team: 8
Name: Yamamoto Ai (山本亜依)
Nickname: Aipon (あいぽん)
Birthdate: August 31, 1995
Birthplace: Mie, Japan

 

I just watched the LOD of the Team 8 debut performance in SKE theater on the fifth and Aipon stood out to me right away. She has great charisma and expressions for someone who just debuted, her dancing is solid and she seemed very confident in MC. Her unit, Kiss wa dame yo, was the highlight of the performance for me. I hope she can gain more recognition.

 

She's my favorite Team 8 member by now!

She seems fun, down to earth and is rather good in her performances, including her nasal singing lol

I uploaded one of her intro's and a unit:




Here are some of her blog photo's:


On one you can see her guitar, which she calls her "lover" lol. She played it at the Natsu Matsuri and at a Team 8 performance:

When did this happen? I kinda saw it coming when she didn't participate in SSK. My kamioshi...

 

.·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·. sad to hear this (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

 

This happened at the 1st day of their 2nd anniversary concert in okinawa

I really like Aipon, I realized when I watch her that she is such a sweet girl. It's so sad for me that she's not part of Team 8 anymore, her announcement was really unexpected for me

Here are her statements translated by Team8Lounge

From Team 8 site

I don't know when is the exact date that she would graduate yet but I think they said it would be this April

 

Yeah, I think I heard the other two girls had their graduation during the Anniversary, but Aipon is getting a separate graduation performance. Which is pretty exciting, and I'm really looking forward to that!

Luckily I have 2 kamioshis, so she's not the only girl I follow with all my strength, though Aipon's graduation will leave a huge hole in my heart that cannot be filled.

 

Aipon's graduation performance will be on 5/1

It's too soon! Though, I don't want her to graduate so any time is too soon for me! But, really, that still gives us almost a whole month with her.
