All Morning Musume's Era over years.
The Golden Era (1999-2001)
Golden Era
There’s been an endless controversy over a definition of "The Golden Era". Some insist it began with the huge hit of LOVE Machine, while others say it started as the 4th Generation joined in, yet many fans would agree it ended with the addition of 5th Generation. "The Golden Era", as the most successful period of Morning Musume, would be only two years between LOVE Machine and The☆Peace!.

The Platinum Era (2007-2010)
Platinum Era
The period started after the secession of Fujimoto Miki and lasted until the graduations of Kamei Eri, Junjun and Linlin (2007-2010). It is approximately equal to the period Takahashi Ai was the leader (2007-2011). In the "Platinum Era" Morning Musume was at the height of their performance skills with a stable line-up in spite of being less popular than in the previous eras.
