THE iDOLM@STER > Derived products, CD albums & anime
It's called "Passing the Torch" - 765+346=1111.
MetalPredat0r:
If there is a moment where the original 765 cast has to pass the torch (which I feel is gonna happen, just not any time soon), it has to be ML, as a lot of you are saying. Mainly because ML is directly linked to 765 and they do interact often, unlike CG which, while still iM@S, is considered its own thing entirely.
The thing is, I feel like now is NOT a good time at all because there's still people that either know nothing about or aren't accustomed to the new characters yet. Once that time comes and everyone is used to these new faces, then the switch will feel more natural and won't have as much backlash, which I feel that if done now the backlash would be massive.
I just don't want them to pull a Love Live! Sunshine!! where they bring in a group of complete unknowns with the implications of replacing the main cast. It'd be way too sudden.

To be fair, LL's plot lends itself well to constantly bringing in new characters because at some point they will have to graduate.
OniZetto:
Cinderella Girls or Million Live, neither of them will be the same thing; but why'd I say that Cinderella Girls is more likely to take the torch? I have a reason, and it was formed under observation.
Mirai, Tsubasa and Shizuka, although they're 'titled' as the main trio, but they've never sing together since ML starts to release albums, there's no obvious connection between them. Haruka, Chihaya and Miki, on the other hand, although there's no exact unit designated in the game or in the anime, but at least they have sung songs together for many times, they also have strong connections to each others.
The main reason for me to believe that Cinderella is going to take the position, is the close friendship of the main trio like the original trio; they entered Mishiro Production at the same time, arranged into one unit (take note that 'New Generations' already exist in the game,) do lessons and stuff all together. While ML trio acts more scattered and not even forming a unit since their debut, the social chain in ML seems blurry, not like what we've seen in the original group or Cinderella Project - at least in the new CG anime, but that's how I know.
Don't take this 'passing the torch' thing mindlessly, because it is important to get the right person to take it. But since they all belong to Project iM@S, if you're going to say '765PRO should only pass their torch to their direct juniors, not to a group from a different agency' I won't reject, but bare in mind that CG has a more solid foundation than ML does.
OniZetto:
Like I said, they won't put 765PRO Allstars away this quick, because it's hard to accept their retirement, and you all know what fans can do.
Cue the second 918 incident!!

Yeah they have. They sang Thank You together in Live The@ter Performance 13, and at least two or three of them covered GO MY WAY!! together. They're also seen frquently often in radio shows and especially the manga.
