Love Machine...Curse?
There are things going around the internet about curses on the covers
of Morning Musume Covers. Now this is the only one to seems to be
held true. Now the curse is that if you go from the right, top member
to bottom member, that it is the order that they graduated. Which holds
true. As this was Aya's last single and next Sayaka graduated. Followed
by Yuko. Then in 2003 Maki and Kei graduated. In 2004 Abe graduated. Then
in 2005 Iida graduated and Mari retired from Musume. There was graduated
member inbetween. But off of this cover it goes in this order.
