Former Morning Musume members,�Goto Maki and�Tsuji Nozomi, made a guest appearance at Dream Morning Musume's concert, which was held at Nakano Sun Plaza on October 16th.

It's been about four years since Goto stood on the same stage as her fellow Morning Musume graduates, the last time being in July 2007 for the concert ,"Hello?Pro Natsu Matsuri".

Greeting the audience with a huge smile, Goto beamed, "It's been a long time! I'm glad to be able to be together with everybody." She then shook hands with the group's leader, Nakazawa Yuko.



Member Fujimoto Miki was absent due to her pregnancy, but Tsuji and Goto managed to draw wild cheers from 2,200 fans by standing on stage with the OG members. Fellow�member Yaguchi Mari said, "It's amazing that these members are on the stage together," while Nakazawa playfully told the audience, "Your cheers are louder compared to when it's the nine of us [Dream Morning Musume members], but I'm happy. Today is the festival!"

Iida Kaori mused, "Though it's been quite a while, why it doesn't feel out of place?", confirming the strong bond between the members, even after a such long time.

Goto revealed that she received an invitation to come on stage from her "foster father", Tsunku?. �When Goto made an appearance on TV program "Waratte Iitomo!" last month, she received a message from Tsunku?.� Goto explained, "He wrote 'Why don't you come to Dream Morning Musume's concert?' on the message. �So I told him I will go see it, but he actually meant, 'Why don't you come on the stage?'."

She then turned to the members and invited them to her own concert, saying, "I will be holding a live on December 4th before I go on hiatus, so I want you guys to come to the live as well."
