I had actually wanted to start a thread this morning (my side of the world) about how i hated January. Not because holidays were ending and i had to go back to work but how most graduations are announced at this time.
All being said, i don't understand why people seem to be sad that the golden generation of 1st ~ 4th gen members are gone. MM continues to evolve, and i like it this way instead of them staying as what they were, and its impossible right? And who is to judge whether MM is coming to an end without the 1st 4 generations? I sure like where MM is heading from now on, no more bubbly catchy songs but i like their new cool tunes and fabulous dance scenes.
I feel that when Miki graduates (probably 2008 Spring) will then be MM fully evolved and people will stop comparing them to the golden generation. Because by then i think it will be a completely new style of MM. And i can't wait for it to materialise.
As for Yossi's graduation, i'm sure most fans would have expected this considering the trend to have at least 1 graduation eachh year. I know we'll be seeing less of her now but if she does get to form a group with her 2 girl friends, we should be seeing another biyuuden in making and 1 with flair, grace and character. I'm happy if that happens. But if they make her solo or only keep her for concerts or gatas, i'll tear all the hairs from Tsunku and all the management.
AND YES! "I wish" for the final farewell song from MM to Yossi for all her hard work and contribution of character, leadership and friendship. MM will never be the same without her wackiness and strange quirky character

As for Yossi's final song in SSA. I hope it could be Mr Moonlight, the song that moulded her into that male character.
