New Senka was moving 10 star-tracked otokoyaku there. And out of that ten, two went on to be long-term top stars, four were shorter-term top stars (Charlie due to health reasons, Emao Yuu I still don't know why, Saeko and Tartan both managed a year plus), two bowed out pretty early and two (Gaichi and Juri Sakiho) had five-six years of interesting roles, basically filling in whenever a distinguished upperclassman type could be useful. Not that bad an average all in all, and not worse than other transfers - at the same time Nettan and Touko were shunted into Hoshigumi, and while Touko hung on tightly, Nettan eventually quit, so 50-50 there.
What I'd most like to see is the company shunting talented no-longer-star-track upperclassmen into Senka. The people who might not have the fanclub numbers, but are dedicated to their craft and see a future for themselves with the company. Itsumine Aki is this type, and I could actually more likely see the younger kumichou they left in place this time. (I wonder if Naga-san, Hacchi-san and Junko just can't take the rehearsal pace anymore...)
