Kamei Eri , Junjun and Linlin graduation


Kamei Eri (21), Junjun (22) and Linlin (19) gave their tearful goodbyes today at their graduation concert, held in Yokohama Arena. Kamei has been a member of the group for eight years, while Junjun & Linlin have been members for just shy of four years.

After the encore of Morning Musume's newest single "Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game", the graduation ceremony began. Each member gave a tearful goodbye message first to Linlin, then to Junjun, and finally to Kamei.

New 9th-generation members will be announced soon, but until then, Morning Musume will carry on as a five-member group: Takahashi Ai, Niigaki Risa, Michishige Sayumi, Tanaka Reina and Mitsui Aika.
