I was trying to point out that 4 years have passed, not whether she's 21 or 22 or whatever now.

Even if 4 years have passed, the whole reason she's out of H!P is that her immediate actions were the exact opposite of the personality that Mini Moni, W and the industry had her portray. So the change wasn't really something over a long period of time.
So to recap... September 7, 2005. W is still cute and no one suspects a thing
early 2006, New W single you guys! oh how cute, right around Kago's Bday.
SURPRISE IT'S FRIDAY:
TRAIN WRECK AND HASN'T LOOKED BACK OR LEARNED SINCE.
It's more that she was cute and then in 2006, she announced to her fans that she's trashy, and hasn't changed since. The real transition for fans is the period between Ms. Love Tantei and the 1st FRIDAY story. About 6 months, but not really because they probably still made appearances and everything seemed fine to everyone.
We never again saw the Kago we knew before the scandal. Her career just continued down that path.
Slapping "underage smokers and barebackers" for Avex aside.
Oh and about the PB, the promotion image was actually interesting and somewhat a respectable fashion-like theme. She had edge -maybe it wouldn't be taken seriously, but it wouldn't have hurt anything.
So what do they decide... scrap that and make her look like a 10 year old playing naughty dress up? <img src='
