Former Morning Musume member Ai Kago appeared on a television show on Sunday, and she mentioned on the air that she has set her sights on the high school exams.

Kago, who is now 20, was too busy with Morning Musume during her junior high years, so she never went on to high school. She said she is currently studying to take the tests. She also mentioned that she is attending English conversation classes and would like to go on to university.

Kago was twice caught in an underage smoking scandal and eventually dismissed by Up-Front Agency, though she was able to start her comeback earlier this year with a different management firm.
