So which member is characterized by sodium and which is characterized by fat

Well at least people will have the choice of different combinations. Plus the girls are cute, and we know that sex sells in japan.

Do they still exist then? Thought they'd been AKB'd to death long ago. Components fully interchangeable of course.

They're looking very fresh for a band formed in 1997. Hope I look that great at their age (ahem).

Morning musume is a brand that used to sell. They aren't even "media celebrities" as most people except for the single men virgins wouldn't know their names. They have been replaced by a product that is almost identical but with minor variations who will also be replaced in not too long. The fame industry is a dangerous and ugly trap for 99% of the young people who are attracted to it like moths. Japan's entertainment industry is one of the ugliest cartels in the developed world. Don't let your kids get sucked into it.

True, sex does sell in Japan and just about everywhere else. But I don't see any sexiness with this promotion. In Japan, cute sells about as well or better than sex.

The last thing I want in the morning is liquid containing one teaspoon of salt.

Kawaii!

I wouldn't even go that far. They're young women, and none of them are ugly, but even "very cute" is a stretch.
