The story
After Nippon TV’s special “Tsunku♂ and the Legendary Morning Musume. ’14” aired, it became a hot topic on 5ch’s Hello!Project board that nearly all the members of the ’14 lineup — known as the “One-For Members,” including Sayumi Michishige and Riho Sayashi — posted on social media. Since next year marks Morning Musume.’s 30th anniversary, there’s precedent for this: “Dream Morning Musume.” reunited for the 10th anniversary, “Pucchi Moni” and “Mini Moni.” for the 20th, and “W” for the 25th. While some in the thread are hoping for a “Dream One-For” reunion, opinions split over who should headline a revival project like past “Dreams” units, and over how well the ’14 generation’s songs actually hold up.
What people said
Wonder if this is really gonna happen
Apparently for the 10th anniversary,
the legendary golden-era Morning Musume. came back as Dream Morning Musume.
For the 20th anniversary,
the legendary Pucchi Moni, Mini Moni., Tanpopo, and Biyuuden
For the 25th anniversary,
the legendary W
came back.
And honestly, the moment Abe's involved it just turns into the "Abe Show," which makes it boring as hell.
The early Dreams centered on Abe
The peak-era Dreams centered on Goto
The golden Dreams centered on the 4th gen
The platinum Dreams centered on Takahashi/Tanaka
The colorful Dreams centered on Tanaka/Sayashi
The One-For Dreams centered on Michishige/Sayashi
The Fukumura Dreams centered on Fukumura/Sato/Oda
That's how many there've been.
Whoa! There are actually people out there who stan all three of these people 🫢
I wonder if there's some common thread between them?
That's just a lineup you could pull off for an M-line Special.
What even is "Dream" supposed to mean here?
Even that would already be plenty tear-jerking as a Dream lineup, but
back when One-For broke through and was all over TV, and in that legendary au commercial —
weren't Michishige and Sayashi the leads?
If those two joined in too, you'd get an even more tear-jerking Dream lineup, don't you think?
Musume.'s golden-era members are losing their drawing power too, and if they don't get a hit song or a breakout star, it's gonna be rough.
Dream Juice=Juice, I love it.
Thirteen years from now:
Mifu Kawashima (31)
Hisaki Ebata (32)
Sakura Ishiyama (35)
Nia Hayashi (28)
Ria Matsunaga (34)
The current golden-era Juice=Juice already has top-tier visuals by Hello!Project standards, and that age range is exactly when women hit peak, next-level beauty — it's gonna be seriously insane.
I've said this like a thousand trillion times already, but
the reason "Pore" never includes Reirei Inoue's name at times like this
is that, like Iikubo's been saying forever, that person's visuals are on a level-different, level-different, level-different-level-different-level-different-level-different-level-different level ("レベチ," fan slang for "different level," repeated for emphasis) — so it's such an obvious given that she doesn't even get listed.

Leader Michishige,
Sayashi and Ishida as the two-top plus Oda as the extra one —
that was the most balanced era, honestly.
Sato was the one going on about "Tsunku-san, Tsunku-san" more than anyone — that's a stretch if I've ever seen one.
LOL, a One-For Member fan is getting mad
Can you not read? It says she didn't jump on the SNS bandwagon lol
What does going on about Tsunku have to do with pushing the One-For angle? '14 fans are still seriously bitter about Sato, huh.
They're all has-beens at this point anyway.
Realistically, that lineup would draw the biggest crowd, yeah.
Sayashi being in that lineup feels really off.
She's not exactly a legend or a rarity, after all.
Still, the fact that they keep surviving in the setlist probably means a lot of fans are behind them.
These days the Ookami ("wolves," fan slang for Morning Musume. fans) fanbase is basically a gathering spot for a minority with nowhere else to go.
Seriously, I get that.
WIL is strong, sure, but then you've got stuff like TIKI BUN and Password that are rock bottom.
I'm just not into the Tsunku songs from '14, '15, and '18.
That's the period when EDM suddenly gave them a boost in momentum.
Works for me.
Let the two of them hype up the current Morning Musume. lineup.
As someone with a favorite among the One-For Members, I'd honestly appreciate that.
Package those two as a set and leave my favorite out of it, please.
Seeing this, it really looks like Nonaka is planning to still be around for the 30th anniversary.
She's Kawabe's favorite member, after all.
Background and Key Points of This Topic
Morning Musume. has a history of forming reunion units of past members for each anniversary. “Dream Morning Musume.” for the 10th anniversary, “Pucchi Moni,” “Mini Moni.,” “Tanpopo,” and “Biyuuden” for the 20th, and “W” for the 25th are the precedents. Since next year marks the group’s 30th anniversary, there’s talk of hoping for a “Dream One-For” built around the ’14 lineup (known as the “One-For Members,” a generation centered on Sayumi Michishige and Riho Sayashi, among others). The thread split mainly over two points: first, whether a reunion project should happen at all (the center of past “Dreams” projects has shifted generation by generation — from Natsumi Abe, to Maki Goto, to Michishige/Sayashi, to Mizuki Fukumura — so opinions varied depending on who’d be at the center next); and second, how to rate the ’14 generation’s songs themselves (some called the EDM-heavy lineup “nothing but great tracks,” while others said they “just don’t click”). Worth noting: “One-For” is a fan nickname, and as of this article there’s been no official announcement of an actual 30th-anniversary project.
