Hello Revival Project (part 3)

Morning Musume NEEDS to add more members!

The line up is good, and still lacking. They just lost a member, which isn't too unusual, but their ages are getting too one sided. Only LinLin and Aika Mitsui are under the age of 20. Both are in their later teens. When ever Tsunku adds more members they tend to be quite young, like from 12 to 14 years old. If only one member is added again the age difference will be awkward. The girls will either have to act younger than they are, and with Niigaki's hair right now? Or you will have to age her by at least five years, which is never a good thing.

The line up, as is, has a good feel. None of the girls feel too out of place. They have a very modern, flashy, and 20s mood. This is significantly different from when Morning Musume was on top of the world. The girls' ages tend to have a larger range. Their image was more playful and young.

The longer Tsunku waits the harder it will be on the group. Now that Koharu Kusumi is gone, the lines are still not being spread out more, so there is little hope for us out there who love the girls in the back. (I'll talk about this a little bit later.) It is time, especially since they have already released an album with these members. Tsunku either has to discover some girls who are in their mid-teens, or a couple different ages. He also should try to get more than one. The members are going to graduate sooner or later. Ai Takahashi is definitely heading towards a solo gig. Adding members is the only way for this group to smoothly continue on. Their 40th single showed promise, however since then Morning Musume has been stale. It is the best thing for Morning Musume.

On another note, Tsunku share the love. You added these members for a reason right? Ai and Reina take up most of the space, and then Risa and Eri get some of what is left. Then you pepper in the rest. You need to develop the other girls. Plus, if Sayumi and JunJun (hold on, don't jump to conclusions, there is a point here) get more attention they will be perfect promoters. JunJun and Sayumi are entertaining on TV. You also need to stop sticking the Pandas in the back. Nobody puts JunJun in a corner! (Wait, for my review of 10 My Me!)
