When members leave, their songs become a part of H!P's legacy. Should anyone stop performing Ayaya's songs just because she was a "legend"? Is Furusato sacred because it was Nacchi's song? Should Coconuts Musume songs fall into oblivion? Generation-specific songs (and solos) like Suki na Senpai and Ooki Hitomi will never stop being 5th and 6th gen songs and ANGERME 3rd gen, MM 12th gen can perform them all they want. It would be a shame if great songs were retired just because their original performers graduated. In a way, performing old songs is a tribute to H!P's heritage.
I'm very happy Country Girls exist because it means Country Musume's catalogue will be brought back to life. And bring on ANGERME 3rd gen's Ooki Hitomi.
