Okay, something doesn't add up here. The first post that
Masabi put up has a chart that shows that Yossi has had the second longest tenure in MM.
According to it, Yossi = 7 years, 20 days and Mari = 6 years, 11 months, 24 days.

However, in this chart that
tiny just posted, check out what I've highlighted in red:
Longest time in Morning Musume (in days):
Yuguchi Mari | 2590 |
Yoshizawa Hitomi | 2576 |
Abe Natsumi | 2274 |
Takahashi Ai | 2227 |
Niigaki Risa | 2227 |
Yasuda Kei | 1880 |
Ishikawa Rika | 1847 |
According to this chart, Mari had been in MM for 2 about weeks longer than Yossi.
So like yeah, which one has the accurate stats? Personally I'm leaning more towards
Masabi's because it include the 6th, 7th, and 8th Gens (sorry
tiny). Maybe someone just did the math incorrectly?
