 | | Early 1998 saw the official start of Morning Musume’s music career with the release of their premier single “Morning Coffee,” the song charted at a respectable #6 in the Japanese Music charts and thus Tsunku felt it appropriate to extend the group by adding three members, later known as the second generation. |
 | | It was evident this year, that the sales figures for Morning Musume were dropping, with Furusato, their fifth single reaching number #5 in the charts, lower than the preceding two singles. |
 | | Partially due to this new member, who was only 13, Morning Musume’s seventh single LOVE Machine hit the #1 position with 1,646,630 copies sold, their biggest selling single to date. |
