Hmm... that is my usual cynical tone. I wasn't offended, just clarified the point. And nowadays virtually every single idol group (being from Tsunku like Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, C-ute, S/mileage, etc, Akimoto with AKB48, No3b, French Kiss, Watarirouka Hashiritai, etc, and others like Stardust's Momoiro Clover, Platinum Passport's Passpo, Avex's SUPERGIRLS, Amuse's Sakura Gakuin, etc) work with generations, trainees and graduations. However, newer groups haven't been long enough to have started subunits, but they would do as they become more popular, since it is a good way to start spreading the reach of the groups.
