I think Tsunku is getting back to the Golden-era type Momusu. A girl could leave in four years or less. I hope Junior Momusu last
awhile.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I reeeaaally hope Tsunku follows the AKB model in this aspect and keeps girls around well into their 20s, but I'm not too sure... I mean, I really loved watching Ai grow up, so I'd like to do that for the other girls too. That's the best thing he could ever take from AKB IMO. Admittedly, the group would get huge if he continued to add girls every other year as he's been doing without graduating someone else at the top, but I really hate the idea of watching them graduate into obscurity before they've grown into full awesomeness.

If you really want to get technical about it, it's what Tsunku did with Berryz and C-ute. All of them are starting to hit the late teens early 20 mark now. They've been active for 10 years. This is not something new they've developed over night. Now if that's a good thing or not, I don't know? But they've really started to branch out and make themselves known now.

Momusu is built by auditions and graduations but, like in the Platinum 9-Fantasy Juuichi era there was a special case. I think the
9ki,10ki and 11 Gen is also a special case. They are all relatively new members and range from 13-17 and a few months. When Sayu and Reina graduate <img src='

They would still be young and with more than half the group having steady fanbases and the fact they will have a line up of 9-11 members I don't see the 9.10.11 line-up going anywhere anytime soon.
Also, the Junjun&LinLin era prolonged the additions of Momusu for 3 years. I would be happy if each member got at least 7 years. The 9+ year model that we know is love is because beloved members graduated much sooner than they should have and I think UFA knew they could not risk graduating experienced girls. I want to watch these girls grow up and not leave at like 18 and then we hardly ever see them again. That would be tragic <img src='
