I miss the original 9 girls; Takahashi Ai Niigaki Risa Kamei Eri Michishige Sayumi Tanaka Reina Kusumi Koharu Mitsui Aika LinLin JunJun I want to see Yoshizawa Hitomi and Yaguchi Mari on stage again after Dream Morning Musume.
All these songs were from the platinum era! I think Mitsui has managed to sing Kamei's solo parts well but I think Niigaki should be given more of Kamei's parts too..
I think this one of my favorite medleys of all time! I grew up with the Platinum Era, and my love of Morning Musume started there. Though some people don't like it, I'm really glad they gave most of the solos to the sempais because this was their era and their music. I don't think the solos they gave Riho really fit her, but I don't mind. I'm just glad this was performed wonderfully. It truly gave tribute and justice to the Platinum Era. :)
