Idol Replacement Therapy: A Series in Three Parts. (Idol Chatter)

The third and final part of The Incredible Re-Hulk’s series is finally here. Part 3 is titled “Judgments in Decision Making” and looks specifically at how C-ute and Morning Musume should handle their recent and upcoming graduations respectively.

Should C-ute add a new member?
No, they shouldn’t.

Will they add a new member?
No, they won’t. There’s too much risk and too little reward.

…

Will Morning Musume add a new member?
Yes, they certainly will.

Should they add a new member?
There is no other choice.

He goes into detail as he reasons out his views. I agree that C-ute shouldn’t add another member and Morning Musume simply has to. The dynamics of every H!P group other than Morning Musume, with maybe the exception of Country Musume, have been pretty stable that the addition of a new member to these stable groups would bring negative feelings from that group’s wota who were hoping their choice girl would get more screen time instead gets put on the backburner as the new invader takes up valuable screen time. While with Morning Musume, the entire history is filled with graduations and auditions. It is simply how it is.

It’s a great ending to his interesting series.
