I think we will definitely be seeing more of Zukki (and Duu) from now on. Some people are calling this single the new Namida ga Tomaranai, which to me kinda sounds like they're saying it's just a one off. I don't think so. I think with their trend of triple A sides recently, if they just wanted to do a one off thing, they wouldn't have made it the lead song of the release, which will mean it will have the most promotion. Also, I think the biggest reason a single featuring back members like Namida wasn't attempted again was because that single did not sell well. At that time it was their lowest selling single ever. And yeah, the singles which came after didn't really do much better, and soon worse, but Namida was a 20-30k drop on their last couple of singles. Personally I see Namida as the point where Momosu's sales really started to drop, and while it was probably just a coincidence, it's not really a surprise they didn't try that again.
