This Morning Musume<\/strong> cover feature was published in November 2012 in Weekly Playboy<\/strong> magazine. At that time they were 11 nin group.<\/p>\n

During previous year there were drastic changes in the group. 9th and 10th generation members stepped in. First 9th generation members Mizuki Fukumura<\/strong>, Erina Ikuta<\/strong>, Riho Sayashi<\/strong> and Kanon Suzuki<\/strong> joined the group. Following the 10th generation Haruna Iikubo<\/strong>, Ayumi Ishida<\/strong>, Masaki Sato<\/strong> and Haruka Kudo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2011 was the year of catastrophic Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. There were also some wotamoving happenings in Morning Musume in 2011 & 2012. The graduations! First leader & long time member Ai Takahashi.<\/strong>\u00a0Then Risa Niigaki<\/strong> and Aika Mitsui<\/strong> left the flagship of H!P.<\/p>\n

2012 started with a flop as group’s 48th single “Pyocopyoco Ultra”<\/strong> became Morning Musume’s lowest selling single. On the other hand their 50th single “One Two Three”<\/strong> sold quite nicely and is still one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

In the end of summer 2012 was announced that Sakura Oda<\/strong> from Hello Pro Kenshuusei<\/strong> is the new 11th generation member for Morning Musume. So if you look at these Weekly Palyboy shots you can see also Sakura there.<\/p>\n
