U-17 Morning Musume

Morning Musume gets drastically younger when Risa Niigaki and Aika Mitsui graduate on May 18th. On the nexr day after graduations group’s average age is 16,2 years. The question goes: Has Morning Musume ever before been as young as it’s soon gonna be? Wow, so close to be U-16!

After G-day only MM 6th Gen veterans, our two old ladies Sayumi and Reina, are over twenty. Eeeh, just wondering when they are leaving The Flagship?

I’ve not calculated Berryz Kobo’s or C-ute’s ages but I’ve this feeling that soon (if not already) Berryz Kobo is the oldest group in Hello! Project as for average age. Then comes C-ute. How funny, from H!P Kids to H!P Grannies they go. And what about S/mileage? Also they are still quite young. Indeed Hello! Project keeps getting younger and younger these days. A pleasant evolution? Teen revolution?
