I really hope this can be more than just a one time thing, because is seems like the people who left morning musume just left so they could move on with their lives. What I mean is that the fact that they aren’t allowed to date while in momusu doesn’t really allow you to meet anyone and eventually get married and start a family, but the fact that they are all in dorimusu means that they will be able to lead somewhat normal lives while being singers. It’s kind of like the best of both worlds in my opinion. I also wonder if some of the current members would join after they graduated for some reason, I feel like reina and sayumi might. Idk
I just hope the best for them in whatever is decided

I think if they start adding other members like Reina, Sayumi, Gaki, Takahashi, etc.. it will lose its whole “dream team” aspect and will simply be like watching deja vu.
That in mind, I think adding Koharu is a bad move. Why is she there? She wasn’t that significant to the history of MM, and was only in the group a short time. The others are probably good choices though. It’ll be nice seeing Nakazawa in a mainstream group like that again. She was always around in the background (plenty of Hello!Morning episodes) but as one of the team members again, it’ll bring back good memories.
In any case, I’ve been listening to the new Morning Musume album out going on a couple weeks now, and I do like it, but I think this dream team will crush them in popularity for a while. The new MM generation has quite a few new members that people don’t know very well. DMM is all about familiar faces, so that might be to their benefit. I know that this was all done as a way of adding some competition. This is what Tsunku always does. Any competition is good competition because it makes you work harder to be the best. What better competition is there than a team singing many of the same songs, with many more years of experience and potentially a larger fan base.
Should all be interesting.

@Mila I agree with what you said about Koharu. I still like the current Morning Musume as idols but from the 7th gen on they just don’t seem like Morning Musume (if that makes any kind of sense). I think the Golden Era is 1st through 6th gen. The reason I went as far as 6th is when the 6th gen joined, there were still 1st gen members in the group. My favorite line-up is the one they had with Shabondama. I really can’t wait to see how well the girls (women?) do with the new (old) group. I hope they make a couple of PV’s from the new album but so far I haven’t heard of any in the plans. Fingers crossed.
