The story
At their first release event, the four new 18th-generation members of Morning Musume。’26 — Ishikawa, Yasuda, Suzuki, and Sugihara — each shared their personal goals. Ishikawa said, “I want to stand on a big stage,” 14-year-old Miyu Yasuda said, “I want to stand at Tokyo Dome,” Suzuki said, “I want to stand at the center of the formation,” and Sugihara said, “I want to see many different sights.” The remarks sparked discussion on 5ch’s Hello! Project board, splitting posters between those who welcomed the members voicing big dreams and those who were skeptical, given that no Hello! Project group has yet pulled off a solo Tokyo Dome concert.

What people said
Why does she want to stand on a big stage anyway?
Even Juice=Juice's big sister, the flagship group herself, says the same thing.
And that's not changing anytime soon either.
Yasuda and Suzuki's goals sound like things that'd just be fun for them personally.
She's safe — at least she's not running her mouth about wanting to stand at Jingu Stadium.
Standing on someone else's mikoshi (i.e., just guesting on another group's stage) doesn't count.
ES CON might be doable somehow with Aisei-chan, maybe.
ES CON Field's easy — even no-name idols get to play there.

Morning Musume。'26's four 18th-gen members make their pitch at first release event — Goal: "Tokyo Dome"

The one about Sugihara getting to hold the release event at the place she'd always admired did make it into a headline, at least.
They've never done a Dome, but they have had their own show before — so that one's probably more realistic.
She figured out her own strengths — that getting out of here and becoming a TV announcer suited her better.
Seriously, exactly this.
People who sneer at others' dreams are the real losers here.
And she probably also knows what's become of Juice=Juice now.
I'm looking forward to Morning Musume。two years from now.
Will Homamei become the next Reiruru? (member nicknames)
When's Juice=Juice actually doing Tokyo Dome, then?
Her visuals and voice quality are both good, so if she builds up skill and stamina, she could get there.
Once this round of solo meet-and-greets wraps up, reality's probably going to hit everyone.
Like, "why does the same guy keep showing up every single time."
Even in that situation, Kawashima still held onto the dream of doing a Dome.
Background and Key Points of This Topic
Morning Musume。has a tradition of newly joined members stating big goals at events, and a fair number of thread posters took that in stride as a positive thing. At the same time, a recurring point in the discussion is the fact that no Hello! Project group has ever pulled off a solo Tokyo Dome concert, with some posters in the thread noting that “not even during the golden era could they do it.” Other members have made similar statements in the past that became talking points, and Yasuda’s remark this time is being read by some as an extension of that pattern. One thing readers may easily misread is that the thread’s reaction wasn’t uniformly mocking — plenty of comments also praised the act of voicing a big dream in the first place.
