They are also known as "Momusu" (モー娘。) for short, and have adopted the name "Jou An Sao Nu Jou" (pinyin: Zǎo Ān Shào Nǚ Zǔ; traditional Chinese: 早安少女組。) for the Chinese market.

== History ==
== History ==
===1997&ndash;1999===
Morning Musume's origins began with [[Sharam Q]]'s auditions to find a female vocalist, broadcasted on ''[[ASAYAN]]''. Although the winner was [[Heike Michiyo]], band member [[Tsunku]] called back five of the finalists - [[Nakazawa Yuko]], [[Ishiguro Aya]], [[Iida Kaori]], [[Abe Natsumi]], and [[Fukuda Asuka]] - and proposed to them a challenge. If the five could sell 50,000 copies of their debut single, "[[Ai no Tane]]", in five days, they will be given a record deal, and their group is named Morning Musume. The challenge was completed, and the group began preparing for their major debut, starting with the single "[[Morning Coffee]]" in early 1998.
Not long after, Tsunku announced that three new members would be added to the group, and emerging from the auditions were [[Yasuda Kei]], [[Yaguchi Mari]], and [[Ichii Sayaka]], known as the group's second generation. The group's debut album, ''[[First Time]]'', was released, and was followed up by "[[Daite Hold On Me!|Daite HOLD ON ME!]]", which became Morning Musume's first single to hit #1 on the Oricon charts.
1999 began with Morning Musume's first graduation, that of Fukuda Asuka, who decided to return to her studies. Now with only seven members, the group released two more singles, "[[Manatsu no Kousen]]" and "[[Furusato (Morning Musume)|Furusato]]", which was followed by their second album, ''[[Second Morning]]''. However, these releases performed poorly sales-wise, and so it was time to add in new members. Although the audition was expected to find two more members, only the young [[Goto Maki]] was chosen, and as an eight-piece group again, Morning Musume released their seventh single, "[[Love Machine|LOVE Machine]]". The single went on to sell over one million copies, becoming the group's best-selling single to date. Goto quickly became a fan favorite as well as a prominent face within the group.
===2000&ndash;2002===
The new millenium began with Ishiguro Aya's departure from the group, where she would pursue a career in fashion design. Although at seven members again, "[[Koi no Dance Site]]" was still a superb follow-up to "LOVE Machine", being the only other single to sell over one million copies. The follow-up album, ''[[3rd -Love Paradise-|3rd -LOVE Paradise-]]'', is also their best-selling original album to date. In the spring, four new members were added - [[Ishikawa Rika]], [[Yoshizawa Hitomi]], [[Tsuji Nozomi]], and [[Kago Ai]] - known as the fourth generation. A month after the release of their CD debut, "[[Happy Summer Wedding]]", Ichii Sayaka graduated from the group, to pursue her own career in music.
===2002&ndash;2004===
The group's first single for the year, "[[Souda! We're Alive|Souda! We're ALIVE]]", became their third consecutive #1 single on the Oricon charts. That streak was broken by "[[Do It! Now|Do it! Now]]", which only reached #3. Not surprisingly, it was the last single for Goto Maki, who graduated from the group in September to continue her solo career. However, the single "[[Koko ni Iruzee! (Morning Musume)|Koko ni Iruzee!]]" managed to reach #1. Near the end of the year, it was announced that [[Fujimoto Miki]], a fellow solo artist in Hello! Project, would be added to Morning Musume's sixth generation. The [[Morning Musume Love Audition 2002|Morning Musume LOVE Audition 2002]] decided three more members to join Fujimoto, and they were [[Kamei Eri]], [[Michishige Sayumi]], and [[Tanaka Reina]].
Although the sixth generation was announced at the beginning of 2003, they did not make their proper debut until Yasuda Kei's graduation in May. The single "[[Morning Musume no Hyokkori Hyoutanjima]]" was the group's first cover. After the group's fifth album, ''[[No.5]]'', and the single "[[As for One Day|AS FOR ONE DAY]]", which reached #1 on the Oricon charts, Yasuda graduated from Morning Musume. This marked the time where Morning Musume had the most number of members, at sixteen before Yasuda's departure. Now at fifteen members, the sixth generation made their CD debut with the single "[[Shabondama (Morning Musume)|Shabondama]]". With so many members, Morning Musume had formed two "splinter" groups, known as [[Morning Musume Otomegumi]] and [[Morning Musume Sakuragumi]], to promote activities separately and in smaller numbers. The year-end single "[[Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~]]" also coincided with the formation of Hello! Project's futsal team, [[Gatas Brilhantes H.P.]].


In 1997, [[Sharam Q]] held a [[Hello! Project on ASAYAN|series of auditions]] on [[ASAYAN]] to find a female vocalist. The number of people who auditioned were eventually whittled down to 11, and [[Heike Michiyo]] was chosen as the winner. The five runners up were challenged by [[Tsunku]] to form a group and release a single, with the incentive that if they could sell 50,000 records in five days they would receive a record deal. Given the name '''Morning Musume''', they recorded [[Ai no Tane]] and successfully completed his challenge.
In 2004, after the release of the single "[[Ai Araba It's All Right|Ai Araba IT'S ALL RIGHT]]", Abe Natsumi graduated from Morning Musume to continue her solo career.  


After releasing their first official single, [[Morning Coffee]], another audition was held and three more members were added to the group. This began a series of additions and '[[Graduation|graduations]]' which have seen members come and go, some remaining in [[Hello! Project]] as solo artists or in other units, and some retiring from the music business. In past years, members also took part in [[:Category:Morning Musume Subgroups|subgroups]], such as [[Morning Musume Sakuragumi|Sakuragumi]] and [[Morning Musume Otomegumi|Otomegumi]]; [[Tanpopo]], [[Petitmoni]], and [[Minimoni]], which released their own singles and albums.
===2005&ndash;2009===
2005 opened with a new single, "[[The Manpower!!!|THE Manpower!!!]]", and the graduation of Iida Kaori, which took place on January 30, 2005, at the conclusion of Hello! Project's winter tour. Yaguchi Mari became leader and Yoshizawa Hitomi became sub-leader. In February, the [[Morning Musume Lucky 7 Audition]] took place, where Tsunku described his search for an "ace" member that would represent the seventh generation. Surprisingly, no new members turned up, but after the follow-up [[Morning Musume Audition 2005]], [[Kusumi Koharu]] was selected, and she was inducted into the group in May. Incidentally in April, Yaguchi was caught in a scandal, and in response, she left the group without a proper graduation, though the single "[[Osaka Koi no Uta]]" was still released even after this announcement. Yoshizawa became leader and Fujimoto Miki became sub-leader. Ishikawa Rika graduated from the group at the conclusion of their 2005 spring tour, and would continue on as the leader of v-u-den. Now with a ten-member line-up that included Kusumi, Morning Musume released their twenty-seventh single, "[[Iroppoi Jirettai]]".


In April 2000, the group began hosting a television variety show called [[Hello! Morning]] which further increased its popularity. They also star in a number of their own musicals, which are usually done also every year in the summertime. A massive amount of Morning Musume merchandise has been released such as calendars, [[Photobook|photobooks]], posters, etc. They have even starred in their own Playstation 2 game called [[Space Venus]].
In 2006, Morning Musume released their seventh original album, ''[[Rainbow 7]]'', and followed up with their twenty-ninth single, "[[Sexy Boy ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~|SEXY BOY ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~]]". During their spring tour, it was announced that Konno Asami and Ogawa Makoto would graduate from the group, both members to further pursue their studies. Konno graduated from Hello! Project on July 23, at the conclusion of Hello! Project's summer tour. During the month of August, the remaining Morning Musume members starred with v-u-den, Abe Natsumi, Tsuji Nozomi, Matsuura Aya, and Takarazuka Revue in ''[[Ribbon no Kishi The Musical]]'', an adaptation of Tezuka Osamu's manga. Ogawa graduated at the end of its run on August 27, and took an indefinite hiatus from Hello! Project appearances. With only eight members in the line-up, the [[Morning Musume Happy 8ki Audition]] commenced, running from August to December. In that time, Morning Musume's thirty-first single, "[[Aruiteru (Morning Musume)|Aruiteru]]", reached #1 on the Oricon charts, a title unachieved ever since "AS FOR ONE DAY" in 2003. At the end of the year, [[Mitsui Aika]] was added into the group, and at the 58th Kouhaku Uta Gassen, Morning Musume performed a medley with [[GAM]].


The group has gone through many changes in recent years with the graduation of the long-time leader and last remaining original member [[Iida Kaori]] in January 2005, the sudden resignation of then-leader [[Yaguchi Mari]] on April 14, 2005, and the addition of [[Kusumi Koharu]] and graduation of [[Ishikawa Rika]] in May 2005.
2007 marked Morning Musume's tenth anniversary, and a special group was formed, named [[Morning Musume Tanjou 10nen Kinentai]], to begin promotional activities throughout the year. Yoshizawa Hitomi's graduation was also announced. As spring season came about, Mitsui's CD debut was on the single "[[Egao Yes Nude|Egao YES Nude]]", and the group released their eighth original album, ''[[Sexy 8 Beat|SEXY 8 BEAT]]''. In March, Tsunku made a surprise announcement on ''Hello! Morning'' - two members from China, [[Junjun]] and [[Linlin]], would be joining the eighth generation as "exchange students." Currently, those two are the only non-Japanese members to have been part of the group. After the release of the single "[[Kanashimi Twilight]]", Yoshizawa graduated on May 6, and Fujimoto Miki and Takahashi Ai took the positions of leader and sub-leader. However, no less than a month later, Fujimoto was caught in scandal - a scene quite parallel to Yaguchi Mari's departure two years back - and she left the group, in addition to taking a temporary hiatus from Hello! Project appearances following her spring concert tour with GAM. Takahashi and Niigaki Risa became leader and sub-leader, now fronting a line-up of nine, beginning with the single "[[Onna ni Sachi Are]]". In the autumn season, Morning Musume released their biggest singles compilation to date, [[Morning Musume All Singles Complete ~10th Anniversary~|a double album featuring all thirty-four singles]], with the album covers being recreations of the covers for "Morning Coffee", their debut single, and "LOVE Machine", their best-selling single. The year was concluded with the release of the single "[[Mikan]]" and the appearance at the 58th Kouhaku Uta Gassen. Morning Musume performed a special medley with [[Berryz Kobo]] and [[C-ute|°C-ute]] under the name "Hello Pro Wonderful All Stars". However, it was their last appearance on the show to date, thus breaking their consecutive ten-year streak.


2006 was no different, with the graduations of [[Konno Asami]] on July 23, 2006 and [[Ogawa Makoto]] on August 27, 2006, as well as the addition of [[Mitsui Aika]] on December 10, 2006.
Morning Musume released their first 2008 single, "[[Resonant Blue (Morning Musume)|Resonant Blue]]", and continued their 10th anniversary promotions with their spring concert tour, which had a set list containing all their singles to date. In addition to performing in Japan, the group had special stopovers in Shanghai, China and Seoul, South Korea, to further promote the expansion into Asia. For the summer season, Morning Musume collaborated with Takarazuka Revue again to perform ''[[Cinderella The Musical]]'', an adaptation of Rogers and Hammerstein's musical with lyrics translated into Japanese. During the autumn season, the group began a series of tributes to legendary songwriter [[Aku Yuu]]. Takahashi and Niigaki portrayed [[Pink Lady]] in a special titled ''[[Hitmaker Aku Yuu Monogatari]]''. The group's thirty-seventh single, "[[Pepper Keibu (Morning Musume)|Pepper Keibu]]", was a cover of the famous Pink Lady song. To top it off, a tribute album titled ''[[Cover You|COVER YOU]]'' was released, featuring covers of famous Aku Yuu-penned hits. 2008 marked the first year where there were no changes in Morning Musume's line-up.


On March 15th, 2007, Tsunku [http://www.helloproject.com/newslist/shinmember_0703151946.html announced] that [[Junjun]] and [[Linlin]], two "exchange students" from China, will join as members of the 8th generation. Leader [[Yoshizawa Hitomi]] graduated from Morning Musume on May 6th, 2007, and [[Fujimoto Miki]] became the new leader with [[Takahashi Ai]] the sub-leader. However, on June 1st, 2007, [http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/f-et-tp0-20070601-207238.html it was reported] that [[Fujimoto Miki]] had left Morning Musume on her own accord, and that [[Takahashi Ai]] became the leader and [[Niigaki Risa]] took Takahashi's place as sub-leader. Takahashi Ai and Niigaki Risa have now become the longest members to stay in Morning Musume.
2009 was a year teeming with activity. The group released their thirty-eighth single, "[[Naichau Kamo]]", and their ninth original album, ''[[Platinum 9 Disc|Platinum 9 DISC]]''. The album was followed up with the single "[[Shouganai Yume Oibito]]", which reached #1 on the Oricon charts. Its coupling track, "[[3, 2, 1 Breakin' Out!|3, 2, 1 BREAKIN' OUT!]]", was the theme song for Anime Expo 2009 in Los Angeles, California, which Morning Musume attended as Guests of Honor and which marked their first performance in North America (not counting their fan club visits in Hawaii). The group's fortieth single, "[[Nanchatte Renai]]", reached #2 only to [[Hamasaki Ayumi]]'s "[[Sunrise / Sunset ~Love Is All~|Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~]]", but was an achievement in sales; selling over 70,000 copies, a feat unachieved since 2005. However, the year concluded with Kusumi Koharu's graduation from Hello! Project, which took place on December 6. "[[Kimagure Princess]]" was the last single to feature Morning Musume's most stable line-up.


On October 24, 2007, an [[Morning Musume All Singles Complete ~10th Anniversary~|album]] containing all 34 singles of the group to date was released followed by a DVD Collection of Promotional Videos.
===2010&ndash;2014===


Their 35th single, [[Mikan]], was released on November 21, 2007. It became, and remains, the group's worst-selling single, with a total of fewer than 40,000 copies sold.  
2010 progressed almost like the year before. The eight-member Morning Musume released their forty-second single, "[[Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai]]", followed by their tenth original album, ''[[10 My Me|10 MY ME]]'', only a month later. In the spring, Morning Musume attended the Japan Expo 2010 in Paris, France, marking their first performance in Europe. The theme song for the event was "[[Tomo]]", the coupling track to their forty-third single "[[Seishun Collection]]", which in turn was the theme song for Morning Musume's musical during June, titled ''[[Fashionable]]''. However, a surprising twist was made during the summer. Kamei Eri, Junjun, and Linlin would be graduating from Hello! Project, Kamei to tend to her atopic dermatitis and Junjun and Linlin to pursue careers in China. In turn, auditions commenced for the group's ninth generation, who would make their debut at the start of the new year. After another single, "[[Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game]]", and another album, ''[[Fantasy! Juuichi]]'', the triple graduation took place on December 15.


Morning Musume, along with Berryz Koubou and °C-ute, perfomed at NHK network's 58th [[Kouhaku Uta Gassen]] on New Year's. It is the most-watched show each year in Japan. It is their tenth appearance on the show.
Morning Musume's ninth generation was introduced in January. [[Ikuta Erina]], [[Sayashi Riho]], and [[Suzuki Kanon]] were the winners selected from the audition, while [[Fukumura Mizuki]] made her debut from [[Hello! Pro Egg]]. However, only a week later, Takahashi Ai's graduation from Hello! Project was announced, to occur at the end of September. In turn, auditions commenced for Morning Musume's tenth generation. The ninth generation made their CD debut with the single "[[Maji Desu ka Ska!]]", which was followed by "[[Only You (Morning Musume)|Only you]]", and "[[Kono Chikyuu no Heiwa wo Honki de Negatterun da yo!]]", the final single for Takahashi. This line-up would still be featured on their twelfth original album, ''[[12, Smart]]'', released in October.


On August 12, 2009 they released their Commemorative 40th single called [[Nanchatte Renai]].
The tenth generation members were introduced on September 29th. [[Iikubo Haruna]] [[Ishida Ayumi]] [[Sato Masaki]] & [[Kudo Haruka]] were introduced the day before then leader [[Takahashi Ai]] graduated and appeared again in the final and gave their graduation messages to Ai and also sang with the existing members. Their addition makes the group stand at 12 members, the largest the group has been since 2005. Once Takahashi graduated, she passed leadership of both Morning Musume and [[Hello! Project]] to [[Niigaki Risa]] her fellow 5th generation member. This now makes Risa the longest serving member of the group and the 1st member to go from youngest in the group at entering to becoming leader. The Tenth generation made their CD debut with the single "[[Pyocopyoco Ultra]]", followed by "[[Renai Hunter]]", Risa's last single.


The group is particularly well-known for its ever fluctuating line-up, with "graduations" and auditions occurring nearly each year. 2008 was the only year so far in which no line-up changes occurred and the 9 member current line-up has been the longest unchanging line-up so far going over 2 years with no graduations or new members. This was to give the Japanese fans a chance to recognize their names and faces of the Morning Musume members. Kusumi Koharu's graduation from Hello! Project on December 6, 2009 will end the tenure of Morning Musume's most stable line-up.
On January 3, 2012, at the beginning of the Hello! Project 2012 Winter concert tours, Risa announced her graduation from Morning Musume and Hello! Project, to take place at the end of the 2012 Morning Musume Spring concert tour. Her leadership of Morning Musume will be passed on to Michishige Sayumi after she graduates. Risa stated that she originally planned to graduate at the same time as Takahashi Ai, but decided to stay for a while longer after the tenth generation members were introduced. It was suddenly announced on May 4, 2012 that [[Mitsui Aika]] would graduate from Morning Musume, but not Hello! Project, alongside Niigaki Risa at the end of the 2012 Morning Musume Spring concert tour due to worries over possible repeat injury to her ankle.

Morning Musume '24 (2024)

Morning Musume (モーニング娘。), currently known as Morning Musume '24 (Two-Four), is a Japanese pop girl group managed by Up-Front Promotion and part of Hello! Project as its flagship group. They are also known as "Momusu" (モー娘。) for short, and have adopted the name "Jou An Sao Nu Jou" (pinyin: Zǎo Ān Shào Nǚ Zǔ; traditional Chinese: 早安少女組。) for the Chinese market. Starting in 2014, Morning Musume's name reflects the present year as a way to help audiences identify members over the group's history.

Morning Musume was formed in 1997 on the talent show ASAYAN and produced by Sharam Q vocalist Tsunku, who was responsible for a majority of production elements from composition of songs and lyrics to designing CD-sleeve covers and costumes and make-up for live shows. Tsunku stepped down as producer of Hello! Project in 2014, but still writes their songs and lyrics. Morning Musume quickly became, and still remains, one of Japan's top all-girl groups with a number of hit records and albums. They have sold over 17,746,446 copies in Japan alone. The group has been known for its ever-changing line-ups, with auditions and graduations creating different styles and dynamics to their music and performances.

History

1997–1999

Morning Musume's origins began with Sharam Q's auditions to find a female vocalist, broadcasted on ASAYAN. Although the winner was Heike Michiyo, band member Tsunku called back five of the finalists - Nakazawa Yuko, Ishiguro Aya, Iida Kaori, Abe Natsumi, and Fukuda Asuka - and proposed to them a challenge. If the five could sell 50,000 copies of their debut single, "Ai no Tane", in five days, they will be given a record deal, and their group is named Morning Musume. The challenge was completed, and the group began preparing for their major debut, starting with the single "Morning Coffee" in early 1998.

Not long after, Tsunku announced that three new members would be added to the group, and emerging from the auditions were Yasuda Kei, Yaguchi Mari, and Ichii Sayaka, known as the group's second generation. The group's debut album, First Time, was released, and was followed up by "Daite HOLD ON ME!", which became Morning Musume's first single to hit #1 on the Oricon charts.

1999 began with Morning Musume's first graduation, that of Fukuda Asuka, who decided to return to her studies. Now with only seven members, the group released two more singles, "Manatsu no Kousen" and "Furusato", which was followed by their second album, Second Morning. However, these releases performed poorly sales-wise, and so it was time to add in new members. Although the audition was expected to find two more members, only the young Goto Maki was chosen, and as an eight-piece group again, Morning Musume released their seventh single, "LOVE Machine". The single went on to sell over one million copies, becoming the group's best-selling single to date. Goto quickly became a fan favorite as well as a prominent face within the group.

2000–2002

The new millenium began with Ishiguro Aya's departure from the group, where she would pursue a career in fashion design. Although at seven members again, "Koi no Dance Site" was still a superb follow-up to "LOVE Machine", being the only other single to sell over one million copies. The follow-up album, 3rd -LOVE Paradise-, is also their best-selling original album to date. In the spring, four new members were added - Ishikawa Rika, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Tsuji Nozomi, and Kago Ai - known as the fourth generation. A month after the release of their CD debut, "Happy Summer Wedding", Ichii Sayaka graduated from the group, to pursue her own career in music.

2002–2004

The group's first single for the year, "Souda! We're ALIVE", became their third consecutive #1 single on the Oricon charts. That streak was broken by "Do it! Now", which only reached #3. Not surprisingly, it was the last single for Goto Maki, who graduated from the group in September to continue her solo career. However, the single "Koko ni Iruzee!" managed to reach #1. Near the end of the year, it was announced that Fujimoto Miki, a fellow solo artist in Hello! Project, would be added to Morning Musume's sixth generation. The Morning Musume LOVE Audition 2002 decided three more members to join Fujimoto, and they were Kamei Eri, Michishige Sayumi, and Tanaka Reina.

Although the sixth generation was announced at the beginning of 2003, they did not make their proper debut until Yasuda Kei's graduation in May. The single "Morning Musume no Hyokkori Hyoutanjima" was the group's first cover. After the group's fifth album, No.5, and the single "AS FOR ONE DAY", which reached #1 on the Oricon charts, Yasuda graduated from Morning Musume. This marked the time where Morning Musume had the most number of members, at sixteen before Yasuda's departure. Now at fifteen members, the sixth generation made their CD debut with the single "Shabondama". With so many members, Morning Musume had formed two "splinter" groups, known as Morning Musume Otomegumi and Morning Musume Sakuragumi, to promote activities separately and in smaller numbers. The year-end single "Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~" also coincided with the formation of Hello! Project's futsal team, Gatas Brilhantes H.P..

In 2004, after the release of the single "Ai Araba IT'S ALL RIGHT", Abe Natsumi graduated from Morning Musume to continue her solo career.

2005–2009

2005 opened with a new single, "THE Manpower!!!", and the graduation of Iida Kaori, which took place on January 30, 2005, at the conclusion of Hello! Project's winter tour. Yaguchi Mari became leader and Yoshizawa Hitomi became sub-leader. In February, the Morning Musume Lucky 7 Audition took place, where Tsunku described his search for an "ace" member that would represent the seventh generation. Surprisingly, no new members turned up, but after the follow-up Morning Musume Audition 2005, Kusumi Koharu was selected, and she was inducted into the group in May. Incidentally in April, Yaguchi was caught in a scandal, and in response, she left the group without a proper graduation, though the single "Osaka Koi no Uta" was still released even after this announcement. Yoshizawa became leader and Fujimoto Miki became sub-leader. Ishikawa Rika graduated from the group at the conclusion of their 2005 spring tour, and would continue on as the leader of v-u-den. Now with a ten-member line-up that included Kusumi, Morning Musume released their twenty-seventh single, "Iroppoi Jirettai".

In 2006, Morning Musume released their seventh original album, Rainbow 7, and followed up with their twenty-ninth single, "SEXY BOY ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~". During their spring tour, it was announced that Konno Asami and Ogawa Makoto would graduate from the group, both members to further pursue their studies. Konno graduated from Hello! Project on July 23, at the conclusion of Hello! Project's summer tour. During the month of August, the remaining Morning Musume members starred with v-u-den, Abe Natsumi, Tsuji Nozomi, Matsuura Aya, and Takarazuka Revue in Ribbon no Kishi The Musical, an adaptation of Tezuka Osamu's manga. Ogawa graduated at the end of its run on August 27, and took an indefinite hiatus from Hello! Project appearances. With only eight members in the line-up, the Morning Musume Happy 8ki Audition commenced, running from August to December. In that time, Morning Musume's thirty-first single, "Aruiteru", reached #1 on the Oricon charts, a title unachieved ever since "AS FOR ONE DAY" in 2003. At the end of the year, Mitsui Aika was added into the group, and at the 58th Kouhaku Uta Gassen, Morning Musume performed a medley with GAM.

2007 marked Morning Musume's tenth anniversary, and a special group was formed, named Morning Musume Tanjou 10nen Kinentai, to begin promotional activities throughout the year. Yoshizawa Hitomi's graduation was also announced. As spring season came about, Mitsui's CD debut was on the single "Egao YES Nude", and the group released their eighth original album, SEXY 8 BEAT. In March, Tsunku made a surprise announcement on Hello! Morning - two members from China, Junjun and Linlin, would be joining the eighth generation as "exchange students." Currently, those two are the only non-Japanese members to have been part of the group. After the release of the single "Kanashimi Twilight", Yoshizawa graduated on May 6, and Fujimoto Miki and Takahashi Ai took the positions of leader and sub-leader. However, no less than a month later, Fujimoto was caught in scandal - a scene quite parallel to Yaguchi Mari's departure two years back - and she left the group, in addition to taking a temporary hiatus from Hello! Project appearances following her spring concert tour with GAM. Takahashi and Niigaki Risa became leader and sub-leader, now fronting a line-up of nine, beginning with the single "Onna ni Sachi Are". In the autumn season, Morning Musume released their biggest singles compilation to date, a double album featuring all thirty-four singles, with the album covers being recreations of the covers for "Morning Coffee", their debut single, and "LOVE Machine", their best-selling single. The year was concluded with the release of the single "Mikan" and the appearance at the 58th Kouhaku Uta Gassen. Morning Musume performed a special medley with Berryz Kobo and °C-ute under the name "Hello Pro Wonderful All Stars". However, it was their last appearance on the show to date, thus breaking their consecutive ten-year streak.

Morning Musume released their first 2008 single, "Resonant Blue", and continued their 10th anniversary promotions with their spring concert tour, which had a set list containing all their singles to date. In addition to performing in Japan, the group had special stopovers in Shanghai, China and Seoul, South Korea, to further promote the expansion into Asia. For the summer season, Morning Musume collaborated with Takarazuka Revue again to perform Cinderella The Musical, an adaptation of Rogers and Hammerstein's musical with lyrics translated into Japanese. During the autumn season, the group began a series of tributes to legendary songwriter Aku Yuu. Takahashi and Niigaki portrayed Pink Lady in a special titled Hitmaker Aku Yuu Monogatari. The group's thirty-seventh single, "Pepper Keibu", was a cover of the famous Pink Lady song. To top it off, a tribute album titled COVER YOU was released, featuring covers of famous Aku Yuu-penned hits. 2008 marked the first year where there were no changes in Morning Musume's line-up.

2009 was a year teeming with activity. The group released their thirty-eighth single, "Naichau Kamo", and their ninth original album, Platinum 9 DISC. The album was followed up with the single "Shouganai Yume Oibito", which reached #1 on the Oricon charts. Its coupling track, "3, 2, 1 BREAKIN' OUT!", was the theme song for Anime Expo 2009 in Los Angeles, California, which Morning Musume attended as Guests of Honor and which marked their first performance in North America (not counting their fan club visits in Hawaii). The group's fortieth single, "Nanchatte Renai", reached #2 only to Hamasaki Ayumi's "Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~", but was an achievement in sales; selling over 70,000 copies, a feat unachieved since 2005. However, the year concluded with Kusumi Koharu's graduation from Hello! Project, which took place on December 6. "Kimagure Princess" was the last single to feature Morning Musume's most stable line-up.

2010–2014

2010 progressed almost like the year before. The eight-member Morning Musume released their forty-second single, "Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai", followed by their tenth original album, 10 MY ME, only a month later. In the spring, Morning Musume attended the Japan Expo 2010 in Paris, France, marking their first performance in Europe. The theme song for the event was "Tomo", the coupling track to their forty-third single "Seishun Collection", which in turn was the theme song for Morning Musume's musical during June, titled Fashionable. However, a surprising twist was made during the summer. Kamei Eri, Junjun, and Linlin would be graduating from Hello! Project, Kamei to tend to her atopic dermatitis and Junjun and Linlin to pursue careers in China. In turn, auditions commenced for the group's ninth generation, who would make their debut at the start of the new year. After another single, "Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game", and another album, Fantasy! Juuichi, the triple graduation took place on December 15.

Morning Musume's ninth generation was introduced in January. Ikuta Erina, Sayashi Riho, and Suzuki Kanon were the winners selected from the audition, while Fukumura Mizuki made her debut from Hello! Pro Egg. However, only a week later, Takahashi Ai's graduation from Hello! Project was announced, to occur at the end of September. In turn, auditions commenced for Morning Musume's tenth generation. The ninth generation made their CD debut with the single "Maji Desu ka Ska!", which was followed by "Only you", and "Kono Chikyuu no Heiwa wo Honki de Negatterun da yo!", the final single for Takahashi. This line-up would still be featured on their twelfth original album, 12, Smart, released in October.

The tenth generation members were introduced on September 29th. Iikubo Haruna Ishida Ayumi Sato Masaki & Kudo Haruka were introduced the day before then leader Takahashi Ai graduated and appeared again in the final and gave their graduation messages to Ai and also sang with the existing members. Their addition makes the group stand at 12 members, the largest the group has been since 2005. Once Takahashi graduated, she passed leadership of both Morning Musume and Hello! Project to Niigaki Risa her fellow 5th generation member. This now makes Risa the longest serving member of the group and the 1st member to go from youngest in the group at entering to becoming leader. The Tenth generation made their CD debut with the single "Pyocopyoco Ultra", followed by "Renai Hunter", Risa's last single.

On January 3, 2012, at the beginning of the Hello! Project 2012 Winter concert tours, Risa announced her graduation from Morning Musume and Hello! Project, to take place at the end of the 2012 Morning Musume Spring concert tour. Her leadership of Morning Musume will be passed on to Michishige Sayumi after she graduates. Risa stated that she originally planned to graduate at the same time as Takahashi Ai, but decided to stay for a while longer after the tenth generation members were introduced. It was suddenly announced on May 4, 2012 that Mitsui Aika would graduate from Morning Musume, but not Hello! Project, alongside Niigaki Risa at the end of the 2012 Morning Musume Spring concert tour due to worries over possible repeat injury to her ankle.

on July 4th, Morning Musume released their 50th single "One Two Three", the first single released under the leadership of Michishige Sayumi. It became the highest selling single since 2003, selling over 100,000 copies.

On September 14th, Morning Musume held a 15th anniversary event which was a special rehearsal of their upcoming concert tour open to the fans. The eleventh generation was announced at the event, and Oda Sakura, was introduced. Morning Musume released their 51st single "Wakuteka Take a chance" on October 10th.

On September 12, Their 54th single "Wagamama Ki no Mama Ai no Joke / Ai no Gundan" ranked #1 on the first week of sales. It is the highest selling Hello! Project single of 2013. And it became Morning Musume's highest selling single since "Koko ni Iruzee!".
