Did you ever know that Hello! Project has its own research department? If you do not know about its existance, don't worry because Tsunku didn't about know it either. My cousin's neighbor's cousin work as one of their researcher. Information was given directly to me. They started to clone animals 2 years ago (ever heard of Mother's Farm) and in the middle of last year, they started cloning their own artists.
My cousin's neighbour's cousin leaked a set of 3 pictures of their cloning result. Latest successful result showed that they managed to clone Michishige Sayumi with 99% similarities.
Another picture with modified Kamei Eri. By removing Eri's hair DNAs and adding other Morning Musume member's hair DNAs will result in Kamei Eri with different hairstyles that matches other members.
And of course, their experiments failed a number of times in the beginning. The last picture given to me is their first human subject, Sudou Maasa of Berryz Koubou, which the cloning was unsuccessful and the clone was quickly terminated.
The benefits of having clones in an idol group are as below:
- They have replacement for shows in case the original subject got sick.
- They can have a straight 10-hours concert.
- Be able to attend multiple show simultaneously.
- Et Cetera (Anything that you have in mind).
just a suggestion, make a coverage about mano eri & sayumi..
i heard that both of them were cyborg/clone/something, made by H!P researcher..
its just sayu is kinda failed subject coz her singing is not so good and she can't play piano~ oh and she can't play ball~ but she's hot XD
