Look, I'm happy we're celebrating history, loving Ai no Tane & Morning Coffee like it 1998 again...
...but the absence of some members, who were as key foundations as Kaorin & Sayu were, are absent..it's leaving me a little
I get that flying Junjun & Linlin over are logistically costly, but strangely no Aibon, when her 'scandals' didn't grab as much attention as Yaguchi's news of infidelity?
And where's Goto Maki? Mama Yuko's there, so are the 4th/5th gen members who looked up to her as dear senpai! She's as much heritage as every member who shouldered & currently shouldering Morning Musume's legacy.
