They have a lot of fans, and the fans will notice (trust me my wife loves them)

They were built as an idol unit, and idols in Japan are interchangeable. Was expecting them to gradually be replaced with younger girls as time went by, as it is most common with Japanese idol groups, however the oldest one is still in the band, and she is in her 20s already. I for one would not notice, Japanese girls tend to look the same, and sometimes sound the same musically. Not that hard to get a look-alike if push comes to shove.
