Morning Musume。11th Gen "Suppin Utahime" WINNER ANNOUNCED!

[danzarely]

They've moved on in their career and/or in life.

I mean some have....

[wotakubrandon]

^Right?

Most end up just singing LOVE Machine somewhere.

[esm]

Well, I mean like... graduations (even though some girls' grads were surely above others). They've had their times in MM celebrated and the fans and the other girls have cried for them and all that. It's not like they're just on a hiatus. They aren't expected to be back.

Also, DMM versions of newer songs are so cringe-worthy to listen to for a reason. Maybe it's just me lol.

I think it's because we're all still subconsciously pissed that Nacchi killed an endangered turtle.

I think that if Reina graduates, so will Sayu.

She'd be the only one from her generation, and the only "oldie", which would be awkward for even herself.

I just hope it happens in about 2 years (but I think it'll happen next year, judging on how they're pushing the new members and 11th gen)

[22Tsuji22]

I don't want Sayu to leave...

[Zunu]

I'm not saying it will happen or should happen, but, look at the last time MM was lead by two veterans over a bunch of newbies: Kaori/Mari & Yossi/Miki ... (Yes, I know that Mari and Miki both got Friday-ed shortly after they became leader, but the seeds were being sown earlier.)

How does Yossi/Miki count as two "vets" over a bunch of "newbies"? Aichan was in MM before Miki was even part of H!P.

[wotakubrandon]

Didn't Miki debut in 2001 or 2002? At most Ai has a year of seniority over her.

[koregaboku]

That year of seniority still makes her a year more of a vet than Miki is.

[resop2]

Miki was considered to have special seniority since she was a soloist, which is why she was co-leader with Yossie, not Ai-chan.

Which still doesn't particularly mean that Riena is destined to have a scandal...
