[Brat-san]

Looks like Risa and Ai are well onto beating the records of longest time in the group.

Interesting stuff, I was just talking about how long each memebr had served a couple of days ago.

one more year, GAMBATTE TAKAGAKI

[shurastriker]

i bet that Gaki san will end with more singles than Ai chan but to this one you need to add the last 3 singles of Aika... well 3 for Aika and 1 for the chinese girls Jun Jun and Lin Lin.

[chokkan 2]

no one pass the 25th Single Mark .... both Aichan and Gaki has 22 singles, so 3 more to go ??

Average singles per year : 3

so ..... 1 more year ?? which is around the 7 year mark ??

Hope both Aichan and Gaki can beat the records of longest time in the group.

Is it a fact that no one passes the 25th single mark? I think Yaguchi would've done it if circumstances were different...

[Blu-Cherri]

I know, it really doesn't feel its time for them to leave yet.

I mean with yossi you could kinda see/feel it and the same with others(cept for miki and yaguchi) but it doesn't feel there yet...who knows

[redux]

I dunno, in way I can see of them going next simply because they seem more likely than any other of the current members. Hell, if the Love Machine curse strikes again then it'll be Eri right? As much as I love Eri that'll be good news to me as it means Reina will be last!

but i don´t think she could stay for too much time, i mean Kaori graduated at 7 year, also Yossie so maybe a couple of singles more and then the graduation... and we can forget about that curse thing, Kamei will not graduate before Gaki san, no way.

[ferrar1]

Nah, Gakikamei pairing is on the cards, the stars have told me

[Masabi]

I personally think that the most anyone will stay in momusu is no longer than 7 years and 25 singles.

[jafeijai]

^ Well, both Takahashi and Gaki-san don't seem like they're going to be leaving any time soon. Naturally, this might change in the coming year, but as of right now, I believe they'll be around for at least another year.

[reyfer]

No matter how much time they stay, ENJOY IT!!!!

I have seen death in the face, and I can tell you that none of us knows if we'll be around this time tomorrow, so I personally will worry about one of the girls leaving when it's announced. In the meantime, I enjoy every day they are in the group.

[misugi]

Gakisan will probably stay for 10 years

[Bleachhh]

hah I know how you feel Reyfer. Each day I come on here, I hope that I dont see a topic with the tittle "New MM Member Graduates".

[shurastriker]

No matter how much time they stay, ENJOY IT!!!!

DEF. i will enjoy, i know that Takahashi more than probably will be the next to leave so the hell i love every moment but that doesn´t mean i can´t wish for something like Takahashi in MM for 3 or more years

BTW i almost freak out when i read about the Gaki annoucement... thankfully it was´t something too serious.

[Masabi]

^ Yeah but takahashi was the one who said "I WANT MORNING MUSUME TO GO ON FOREVERRRR!" so I figure she won't be leaving for awhile.

[dokidokisuru]

No one else will probably care about this, but I find it interesting:  not counting JunJun and Linlin, out of the current line-up Aika is the only member who has had a solo line in each of the singles released since she joined.  The only other members in MoMusu's history to do this were Asuka Fukuda (4 singles) and Maki Goto (9 singles).  Though, of course, Aika hasn't graduated yet and she may not get a solo in the new single, but whatever =b

Here's how everyone measured up:

Yuko Nakazawa - 11 singles, 6 with solo lines
Aya Ishiguro - 7 singles, 3 with solo lines
Kaori Iida - 25 singles, 16 with solo lines
Natsumi Abe - 21 singles, 18 with solo lines
Asuka Fukuda - 4 singles, 4 with solo lines
Sayaka Ichii - 8 singles, 2 with solo lines
Mari Yaguchi - 25 singles, 18 with solo lines
Kei Yasuda - 17 singles, 9 with solo lines
Maki Goto - 9 singles, 9 with solo lines
Rika Ishikawa - 18 singles, 15 with solo lines
Hitomi Yoshizawa - 25 singles, 20 with solo lines
Nozomi Tsuji - 15 singles, 7 with solo lines
Ai Kago - 15 singles, 10 with solo lines
Ai Takahashi - 22 singles, 19 with solo lines
Asami Konno - 18 singles, 9 with solo lines
Makoto Ogawa - 18 singles, 10 with solo lines
Risa Niigaki - 22 singles, 17 with solo lines
Miki Fujimoto - 15 singles, 14 with solo lines
Eri Kamei - 16 singles, 11 with solo lines
Sayumi Michishige - 16 singles, 7 with solo lines
Reina Tanaka - 16 singles, 14 with solo lines
Koharu Kusumi - 8 singles, 7 with solo lines
Aika Mitsui - 3 singles, 3 with solo lines
JunJun - 1 single, 1 with solo lines
LinLin - 1 single, 1 with solo lines

Didn't Kei also say the same thing?

No one else will probably care about this, but I find it interesting:  not counting JunJun and Linlin, out of the current line-up Aika is the only member who has had a solo line in each of the singles released since she joined.  The only other members in MoMusu's history to do this were Asuka Fukuda (4 singles) and Maki Goto (9 singles).

Between "Furusato", "Go Girl!" , and "Kanashimi Twilight" I'm not surprised.  These three singles alone cover all the members gens 1-7 except the ones you mentioned.
