Ai Kago's latest blog entry reveals that she may have Meniere's disease, a disorder affecting the inner ear. On Saturday, she was scheduled to watch a play starring Koasa Shunputei, whom she will appear with in a play next year. However, she wasn't feeling well in the morning, so she went to the hospital.

The doctor examining her said that her symptoms suggest Meniere's disease, which generally causes dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing loss. While it is not a serious health risk, it can become an obstacle to daily life. For example, sportscaster Hideki Kuriyama had to quit his career as a pro baseball player in 1990 due to the disorder.
