I don't have issues with the new Juice=Juice members, but it's going to be weird that they won't be the 5-nin group anymore. For me it's the biggest surprise of this shuffle, I had not expected any changes to J=J.

Harunan should have hugged Morito Chisaki to ease the tension in that room.

Wth

Ruru in Juice=Juice is disappointing, would have preferred Ayano as she looks more mature and older. Nanami seems out of place in Juice=Juice as well. I just would have preferred the group to remain stable or at least with members who fit the image.

Hate that Funakki and Nanami are separated, but glad Funakki is in Angerme. Again Ayano doesn't fit the Angerme vibe so I'm not happy about her there.

And chisaki in MM??!!!! Okay this one I can see. She is going to be a good addition and probably a good replacement for Riho. She's auditioned for MM previously so it works. But is she a 13th gen? Just a transfer member? 14th gen? I would have been happier if Ruru joined with her.

I kinda don't like this, especially for Juice=Juice. It was nice having an H!P group that didn't have different gens and adding people.

It makes me really wonder though... I wonder if up front didn't think Country Girls had enough cache on their own without Momoko so they're gonna add them to other groups, build their fanbase up further, and then in the future Country Girls will sorta end up looking like a solid shuffle group.

Also maybe there are some more graduations coming up. :fear:

Morito Chisaki's thoughts on working with Morning Musume. '17
http://ameblo.jp/countrygirls/entry-12287246925.html

on her blog, Morito Chisaki says she was a bit worried about transferring at first, but she'll get over it. When she comes back to Country Girls, she wants to show them how much she has grown after working with Morning Musume. '17.

Kanazawa Tomoko will have fun flicking Yanagawa Nanami's giant forehead.

^ The shock of change and apprehension about the future. Abstract knowledge becoming reality in a single moment. Melancholy over how Country Girls seem to be cursed. Or insert your own supposition.

Seconded. The discussion is spread over four different threads right now.

I think in general, everyone will get used to these lineup so it's fine.

But...did they really need to add girls to J=J?
It's a good variation to have groups of different sizes...and now all the groups are getting bigger and bigger. And bigger does not necessarily mean better either.

And god can MM be just a little bit more welcoming as a group?

Chisaki is 14th gen
