Morning Musume's last single was released April 15. Juice=Juice's first album is scheduled for July 15, with ANGERME's next single coming the week after. Unless there's something else that goes from announcement to release even quicker, that's 3 full months between major Hello! Project releases. When's the last time that happened? Never! The last time there was a gap nearly this big technically predates Hello! Project as a thing: 12 weeks between GET and Morning Coffee, the first major singles of Heike Michiyo and Morning Musume.

Shortly after (still 1998) is the only other time with more than a two month gap, between Heike Michiyo album Teenage Dream and Morning Musume single Summer Night Town.

The last time with a 50+ day gap: 2001, between Hajimete no Happy Birthday and Tropica~l Koishite~ru. In the years since there have been a handful of 30 and even 40 day gaps, though not many.

2015: A year with, at the half point, 14 new members and 15 new released songs.
