Sayumi never thought she would be in the position of sending Aika off…

I have so many memories with Aika at both work and in our private lives. (*^_^*)

We went out to eat, took purikura, practiced singing at karaoke, walked around pet shops♪♪♪

It was fun! But I’ll still be able to see her in our private lives. o(^▽^)o
Let’s hang out again sometime～♪

Okay? ♪

blog!project

One night has passed since yesterday’s concert!

Even so, I still can’t believe Gaki-san and Aika have graduated…

Today we’re jumping right into a photoshoot of the new Morning Musume, so maybe it’ll hit then…

The pictures were taken with Gaki-san after the concert↑
The third one was taken of Gaki-san singing as Sayumi watched from the wings. (´ ▽｀)

When Gaki-san was singing,
I thought “Aaah, Gaki-san is graduating,”
and I remembered Gaki-san laughing a lot in the dressing room,
Gaki-san listening to everything Sayumi wanted to tell her with a smile,
the two of us talking about the new members,
soo many things!

To be honest  I was sad, but
Gaki-san’s voice felt so wonderful,
it felt like “Aah, Gaki-san is having a really positive graduation,”
so Sayumi will do her best too. (*^_^*)

The truth is, Gaki-san has been such a big, big presence in Sayumi’s life,
so I felt uneasy about the future last night,
and after the concert I was whining…

But…
now I’ve changed my mindset!

It’s pretty lame for a group’s leader to be that weak. (lol)

So I won’t whine anymore～♪
I’ll be reliable!!!!!

I hope that I can be reliable. (lol)

Gaki-san said
“From now on, let’s go out to eat as regular girls, not as fellow members~~~”
That made me happy♪

Gaki-san, I love you!

Congratulations on your graduation!!

I went to Nippon Budoukan to see Morning Musume’s concert. o(^▽^)o

Gaki-san & Mittsi’s graduation concert

Gaki-san
was super cool.

When she first joined Morning Musume she was really a tiny child, with an itty bitty face like a bean. It makes me nostalgic thinking about how we used to always call her mame [bean].

I still call her mame. (lol)

The letter Gaki-san wrote
resounded in my heart.
I think Gaki-san very clearly expressed her feelings toward the fans, her fellow members, and the many people who supported her.

You’ve truly worked hard.

And then there’s Mittsi～

Somehow she had such adult-like expressions.
I was never in Morning Msume with Mittsi～ but I always watched her from close by.
When Biyuuden and Morning Musume did a concert tour together, we sang “Otoko Tomodachi” together.

Even now I still remember feeling how hard she was working as I danced beside her.

Even after you graduate Morning Musume, please continue to move forward at your own pace.

Good work.  

There was also a surprise during yesterday’s concert…

There’s going to be an 11th generation member audition. o(^▽^)o

I’m going to gain some new colleagues again.

When I joined I was a youthful 15 year old but now…

I’m all grown up.  

Am I using the right words when I say “grown up”? lol

Morning Musume is always changing.

My beloved Morning Musume.

I’ll continue to cheer them on.

I’ll also do my best to continue to change too. v(^-^)v

blog!project

Morning Musume’s Budokan live show
It was Niigaki Risa-chan and Mitsui Aika-chan’s graduation performance

Everyone that was on stage was shining brightly

The sight of them giving it their all was cool

I wasn’t in Morning Musume at the same time as Mitsui-chan, but whenever we met, she always said, “Ogawa-saa~n,” and came over to talk to me with a smile. That was impressive.

Her graduation letter overflowed with kindness, typical of Mitsui-chan.
I think she was surely troubled more than others because of her foot injury, but she worked hard.

And then, Gaki-san.
Until the very last moment, she splendidly carried out her role as leader.

Precisely because we’re generation-mates and were always together, I know how much Gaki-san has grown.
She was super cool.

To the two of you, congratulations on your graduation

It was a truly magnificent stage, from which Morning Musume’s history could be keenly felt

I went to watch
the Morning Musume concert♪

Niigaki Risa-chan
Mitsui Aika-chan

Congratulations on your graduation.

Before I knew it…
Omame-chan
has become a responsible, mature woman.

In my heart
she’s still
the adorable Omame-chan
from when we were active as “Tanpopo.”

Yesterday’s Omame-chan
was very awe-inspiring.

She was so cool~

Both Omame-chan and Mitsui-chan
truly shone

Mitsui-chan’s graduation
was surprising because of the suddenness, but…

I’m looking forward
to what form she will have taken the next time I can see her
with that unchanging smile of hers

Continuing to evolve,
continuing to be loved…

“Morning Musume

is such a great group,”
I once again felt♪

I also got to be included
in that “Morning Musume.”

Please excuse me…

Once again
Omame-chan, Mitsui-chan
congratulations on your graduation~

After the LIVE show…
Everyone came over, saying, “Let’s take pics.”

Sayumin-led! Morning Musume starting today!
Looking forward to it

My seniors, generation-mates, and juniors came hurrying over…

Abe-shaan

Iida-san

Ai-chan, Makochii…

Konkon couldn’t come to the LIVE show because of work, but she rushed over to the Budokan afterwards!
Thanks

Yesterday I went to see Niigaki-san and Mitsui-san’s graduation concert. (*^^*)

I saw the Mayuge Beam live for the first time. (((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

It made me super happy. (o^^o)

Maaan the concert was super moving. ヽ(；▽；)ノ

I couldn’t help crying. (T ^ T)

I mean, from now on I won’t be able to stand on stage with Niigaki-san!!

When I thought that, it didn’t seem real at all, but I was able to see Niigaki-san and Mitsui-san’s performances today, so I’ll do my best to make even a little use of what I saw today♪(´ε｀ )

Mitsui-san will still be in Hello! Project, so we may be able to stand on stage again together, but I won’t be able to see Mitsui-san in Morning Musume anymore, so I kept my eyes fixed on her!!

Also, there was the surprise announcement of the 11th generation member audition!!

Everyone around me was super surprised too! (◎_◎;)

When Tsunku♂-san comes out it really makes your heart race. f^_^;)

Also, I was thinking that I’d like us to have a concert at the Budoukan too.（＾Ｏ＾）

I really wanna do it!!
I really wanna do it!!
I really wanna do it!!

So I’ll do my best. ＼(^o^)／

Also,

Niigaki-san!
Mitsui-san!

Congratulations on your graduations. (^ ^)

And thank you so much!!!

graduation concert.

I cried so much

‘Cuz it’s my first time watching a graduation concert

It felt somewhat strange

Graduation is sad,

but the live show was really fun

I got super excited♪

I mean

Morning Musume is just so cool♪♪

As for the leadership
Michishige Sayumi-chan is taking over
The 11th generation audition also began

That way, Morning Musume will continue to evolve♪

Do your best(^-^)/

Morning Musume~~~~~~~!✧

Gaki-san and Mitsui’s graduation LIVE show was held.

Everyone was shining so brightly with such pure hearts….

I dunno how many times I shouted, “Cute~”…lol

9th gen, 10th gen, Sayu, Reina, Mitsui, and Gaki-san…

everyone was working very very hard!

♪Suki na Senpai, ♪Never Forget, ♪Aruiteru, etc…

I cried~ lol

I was once again moved by the message in Tsunku-san’s songs…

Morning Musume has history!

Penlights in the members’ colors✧
(This is Gaki-san’s color.)

It’s touching no matter how many times I see it…。。(ノД`)

And then.

Right after the LIVE show…

Yup, cute♡

She’s brimming with a sense of fulfillment!

Also…

A shoT with lots of Morning Musume +…lol

In addition, Berryz Koubou, ℃-ute, Smileage, etc…

With no time to bask in the afterglow, I have work starting in the morning!

I’m off!!

I still have many more pictures from yesterday, so I’ll take my time uploading them later, ok?!

Post from phew….

blog!project

The weather is really great
Since the wind is strong, it’s cool and feels nice

But there were a ton of clouds in the morning,
so my dogs were frightened and in tough shape

I was doing some writing and illustrations in my living room for goods,

but Cologne and Aroma were rolling around and trying to push their way into my lap (^o^;)

Since it couldn’t be helped I continued writing while holding onto them,

but since I had 2 dogs in my lap,
I couldn’t move around in my chair,

and so the distance between what I was writing and me was pretty far, making it incredibly hard to write…

and in addition, they were constantly moving around and making me vibrate all the way to my hands, so it was tough with them not being very stable

They were extremely frightened… (>_<)
So pitiful… (;_;)

After a while, the clouds which had been there before went away like as if they’d never been,

and so my dogs also went like, kero! (・v・) and jumped down from my lap…

Well, also today
is graduation day for Morning Musume’s Niigaki Risa-san and Mitsui Aika-chan, isn’t it…

It doesn’t feel like it at all,
and I feel like I’ll be able to stand on stage once again together with them
just like always at the Hello! Project concert.

Niigaki-san helped me through tough times,

and Aika always soothed me with her wonderful character

Though the graduation is very sad,
I pray for a wonderful future for them both,
and I think it’s best to be able to say, “Congratulations on your graduation “…

Mmm~… Since there is a lot I want to write, I’ll write it all tomorrow

Also, there’s something I need to apologize to everyone for…

In yesterday’s post,

I wrote that the Tokyo event

of the July dinner show I’ll be doing together with Shimizu Saki-chan, Tsugunaga Momoko-chan

will be held at Tokyo Grand Hotel,

but it’s actually
the Tokyo Prince Hotel.

I’m sorry.

I’ll be waiting for lots of people to participate

Moreover, I have an announcement

The “℃-ute Concert Tour 2012 Spring/Summer Utsukushiku tte Gomen ne~”

which will be held at Harmony Hall Zama on

5/19 (Saturday)
5/20 (Sunday)

is SOLD OUT of advance tickets,

and since there have been lots of people inquiring about tickets,

same day standing room only ticket sales have been decided

I’m really happy~
Thank you

The same day ticket sales will be at the venue,
and will begin 1 hour before doors open

Since the number is limited,
in case a lot of people are interested, we will give them out by lottery

Those who don’t yet have tickets, please be sure to come down to the venue

We’ll be waiting (^з^)-☆

I hear that later on today it will rain again…

Though I can’t really believe it since the weather’s so great…

Since the weather changes frequently lately, everyone please take care to not get sick, okay

Well then, I’ll be back today too~

p.s.
Today is a 2shot with Hagi-chan

blog!project

Mitsui Aika-chan

I went to see their graduation concert. 

The other day I just went to see the show at Nakano Sun Plaza,

but Morning Musume is amazing.

in a really short time, they changed the show a lot.

The 11th generation audition was announced too, I’m looking forward to the next change.

I’m sure Mitsui-chan had a lot to worry about with her ankle injury, but she stood on stage with a brilliant smile.

Also,

Gaki-san.

Gaki-san, who has loved and supported Morning Musume for over 10 years,

conveyed with very strong feelings how much she loves Morning Musume!

She’s been a very trustworthy leader!!

It was a teary journey [Namidacchi] through a truly wonderful graduation concert!!

blog!project

Today
was the graduation ceremony
for Morning Musume’s
Niigaki Risa-san and Mitsui Aika-chan

I was able to go see it
at the Budoukan

Aika-chan’s graduation was
a sudden announcement,
and so it’s really just been a few days
since we knew she’d be graduating.

Since we weren’t able to stand on stage
together all that much,
I didn’t have much time
to just hang out and talk with her either

It never ceases to surprise me
that Aika-chan notices things soon
no matter what they are
She’s a really wonderful woman…

I also want
to be the type of person
who has such a warm aura as Aika-chan
and who makes everyone smile
when she talks to you

I wonder if I’ll be able to see her
at Hello! concerts and such even after she graduates?

I want her foot to recover properly
and when she has the time
to be able to interact with her more from now on

Congrats on your graduation
Please continue to support me!

I’m sad also
that I haven’t been able to do many activities with
Niigaki-san
since her graduation was announced

Niigaki-san
out of our H!P senpai
would often take notice
of things about all the members

When I was troubled
she would always
be the first one to notice as well :haaot:

It made me incredibly happy !

She sent me a mail of,
“I’ll always talk to you~ ”

and she’s B-type which there are only a few of,
so we often talk and stuff

So I’ll feel sad and lonely
when that Niigaki-san
is no longer in H!P…

but in the H!P from now on
I’ll make precious the things
which Niigaki-san left to us,
and those of us who will have been here the longest
I think
will have to lead us forward…

I want Niigaki-san as well
to continue shining
after graduation
as the wonderful Niigaki-san she is now

I love you, Niigaki-san

Well, now an announcement!

℃-ute concert tour
2012 Spring/Summer ~Utsukushiku tte Gomen ne~

Harmony Hall Zama Concert
Standing room only sales announcement

The “℃-ute concert tour
2012 Spring/Summer
~Utsukushiku tte Gomen ne~”
which will be held in Harmony Hall Zama
on 5/19 (Saturday) and 20 (Sunday)
……

Due to popular demand, pre-order tickets are
” SOLD OUT ” !!

And so because of that,
since we’ve gotten many inquiries about tickets from customers
it’s been decided
that we’ll be selling last-minute!! tickets
on the same day for “standing room only”!

They’ll be sold
at the venue
1 hour before the doors open
The same-day ticket charge is ¥6,300

Since the number of tickets will be limited,
in case there are a great number of people interested,
they’ll be given out by lottery

Those who still don’t have tickets,
please be sure to come down to the venue

All right, let’s work hard tomorrow too!
Goodnight (σω-)。о゜

blog!project

The concert was amazingly powerful!

Also, very moving…

Especially when they read their letters and sang their solos.

And the last song, Namidacchi.

It was truly moving…

I’ve only been able to be on stage with Niigaki-san and Mitsui-san during the Hello Concerts, but I’m truly glad I was able to stand on the same stage as them. 

They gave me lots of advice during the Hello Concerts, and when Niigaki-san said “Let’s take a picture goether!” I was super happy. (*^^*)

Also, something surprising happened!

It seems Morning Musume is going to have an 11th generation audition!!

I was really shocked!  

But at any rate, today I couldn’t take my eyes off of Niigaki-san and Mitsui-san’s performances, so Rina wants to do her best in S/mileage. 

We’ve got lots of concerts and events. 

I learned a lot today!

blog!project

Kana is doing really well!!

I’ve been in an even better mood than normal. (lol)

I was on a field trip until today.  

I’ll talk about that more tomorrow!

Today I went to Morning Musume-san’s concert. ヾ(≧∇≦)

It was Niigaki-san and Mitsui-san’s graduation!

Ikuta-san sends Niigaki-san pictures of Kana making funny faces, and she would send her texts I wrote for me!

Those teasing texts were funny and made me happy!

Watching today’s concert, I realized that Ikuta-san really really loves Niigaki-san.  

Also… I haven’t spoken to Mitsui-san very much, but it makes me happy that we’re both from Kansai.  

Something surprising also happened during today’s concert, and I was amazed at how powerful it was.  

Well then(*^▽^*)

Good night!!

blog!project

Everything went well!

My level of nervousness was intense. (≡Д≡；)

The concert itself was super fun, and
Aika’s graduation ceremony,
Gaki-san’s graduation ceremony,

I was moved!!!!

Pictures with Gaki-san, pictures with Aika,
my feelings towards each of them…

It just ended, so their graduations don’t feel real yet.

I’ll post tomorrow. o(^▽^)o！

Also…
since Gaki-san graduated
Morning Musume’s new leader

is me, Michishige Sayumi.

To be honest, I’m a little bit uneasy…
but I’ll do my best in my own way!

If you don’t mind, please continue to watch over me!

There was also the announcement of the 11th generation member audition…
I hope lots of girls participate in the audition. ♪(人´∀｀*)

As Morning Musume continues to change, please support us!!!

_______________________________________________________
Translator’s Note: I’ll go back and translate some of Sayu’s other recent entries later when I have more time. I wanted to get the graduation-related entries out first.

Yesterday was my Ustream
“Hagiwara Mai desu ga… Nanika??”~~

This time was my learning series~~~

I hear we’ll be able to see a solar eclipse on 5/21,
and I’ll be watching it on Ustream along with Maimi-chan~~

I’m so looking forward to it!

And from there, I did the Prefecture puzzle for the first time in awhile~~

Since I was really letting my mind wander
I couldn’t do it at all~~~

Next I want to become able to do it
in 15 minutes

Thank you to everyone who watched

Please watch the next stream too

In my blog yesterday
I made a mistake in writing about a rhinoceros beetle
and in the comments there were lots of people who said, “It was a stag beetle, right?”
(lol)
Thank you for telling me!
I don’t really know the distinction well (lol)
I’ll be careful!!

And, today in the morning
I ate lunch with my cousins and such~~~

And Mai gave to the 0-year-old baby
the Spiderman bib-like thing I got when I went to
Universal Studios

She wore it

It was seriously cute

I’m certainly happy when she wears something I give her

Thanks!

And after that,
I went to see Morning Musume-san’s concert

It was Niigaki-san’s and Aika’s graduation today,
and iya, I still don’t really feel like it happened

Niigaki-san
is incredibly dependable and keeps control of herself,
and even when Niigaki-san wasn’t leader, she was incredibly interested in what was around her, so I always think
that Niigaki-san is awesome!

Niigaki-san has the same nail-san
who does them for me,
and through that opportunity I was able to talk with her just a little bit, and since Mai is also shy and can’t really start talking to people, I’m glad I was able to talk to her even if just a little bit

I really congratulate you on your graduation

Please continue to support me

Also, Aika

I really can’t imagine Aika not being in Morning Musume,
so somehow I still don’t believe it at all

Re~ally, whenever Aika sees me,
she comes to me like “Mai~~~~ ”
and whenever Mai is feeling down
or worried
or doesn’t know what to do, she always supports me somehow or other.

Mai is someone who doesn’t have too many friends,
but I think that Aika will really be a friend forever!

Since she’s always worrying about me, Aika’s supporting me now more than I feel like even!

Since Aika was shining brighter today than normal, she was so cute!

From now on, no matter what happens, she’ll be Mai’s eternal companion!

Niigaki-san, Aika,
I really congratulate you on your graduations
Please continue to support me

Today’s casual clothes

I tried doing a neat style

Mm well, tomorrow is Zama While capitalizing on the things we learned from the Morning Musume-san concert we saw today, I hope we’ll be able to do a fun, ℃-ute-like concert~~~~

Mm well, sarabaja-a

How did you all sleep last night!?

Sayumi…

It’s a secreeet (。 >艸<)！

Er, there’s no reason for it to be a secret! (lol)

I didn’t really sleep much. （|||＿|||）
Today is an important day,
so I worked myself up thinking I’ve gotta sleep, I’ve gotta sleep, and then I couldn’t sleep. (;;’Д｀;;)

Today is our concert at the Nippon Budoukan!
It’s the last day of the spring tour!

I’ll be able to see everyone that comes to the Budoukan,
and this concert will also be broadcast in theaters across the country,
lots of people will get to see Morning Musume!

I’m really looking forward to those things.（*≧▽≦）

Also,
Gaki-san and Aika’s graduation ceremonies!

Alriiight, I’m looking forward to today!
We’ll put on a concert that only these 12 members could  

The picture is with Gaki-san!!

blog!project

I tried putting them together!

Tomorrow Aika will also graduate from Morning Musume.
I also have loooots of fun memories with Aika. (●´ー｀●)

I was shocked
by how suddenly Aika’s graduation was decided, and at first I was uncertain,
but  for tomorrow’s concert at the Budoukan,

I will have as much fun as possible
as part of the 12-member Morning Musume under Gaki-san’s leadership. （*≧▽≦）

blog!project

I put them togetherrr☆彡

Gaki-san will graduate from Morning Musume at tomorrow’s Nippon Budoukan concert!

When I looked at my photos with Gaki-san, I realized I really have lots and lots  and lots of memories. ( *´艸｀)

I’ll do my best at the Budoukan tomorrow!

blog!project

Today at the Nippon Budoukan
the graduation concert was held
for Niigaki Risa-san and Mitsui Aika-chan!!!
I really do feel such an intensity to graduation concerts (ρ＿；)
And this isn’t just the members, but from all the fans too
That kind of atmosphere loosens the tear ducts like crazy, doesn’t it (lol)

Whatever I say, since it was it was a dual graduation concert for the both of them,
there were lots of things that were more painful than usual,
as well as the power of the other members who didn’t graduate being incredible,
so it’s a live that will really linger within my soul o(｀▽´)o
Those who couldn’t see it, by all means
please watch the DVD

I hope that warm things will happen
in Niigaki-san’s and Mittsi’s futures
I really congratulate you on your graduations ☆

Well
Tomorrow ℃-ute has a concert in Zama
℃-ute’s fans
Please give us your hot cheering (￣∀￣)

Along with that, I have a happy announcement for everyone (*^д^*)

Somehow, while rehearsing, thoughts like, “Even this kind of scene is the last one for me…/” came to me, and I got just a little bit sad( ´▽ ` )ﾉ

However, tomorrow is already the real thing!
I don’t want this once-in-a-lifetime performance to end imperfectly, and I would hate to lose to these sad feelings！！d(･∀<)

I'll do my best ♪

Well, doing my best is a given, though～L(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)￢

It’d be good if the weather is this great tomorrow, too(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

I think Mittsi was really incredibly troubled…

Since I was watching her dance with just the upper part of her body from the wings of the Hello! concert, even though she’s not in the same group as me, it made me think about a lot.
Since Saki’s had times when my legs or feet have hurt as well, I wondered if I couldn’t help her out, but I think that Mittsi had it many times as tough, so I didn’t know whether it would be okay to say something to her…
Even though she had the frustration of not being able to perform with all her strength, Mittsi continued always working hard with a smile!!!

Even though she’s graduating Morning Musume, since we’ll still be working hard together as Hello! colleagues, and she’s full of spirit, although she’s not really talked to us about what she thinks, when we see each other I’d like her to talk to us soon

Mittsi’s smile today was even cuter than usual

Also, Niigaki-san.
This was true when Takahashi Ai-san graduated as well, but when I heard about Niigaki-san’s graduation, it was an incredible shock…

Niigaki-san would talk to us since we were in the Kids, and every time when we were together for Hello! concerts,
“How’ve you been lately?”
or
“What’s going on with Berryz?”
she’d say to me, and that actually made me incredibly happy!!

Niigaki-san watched over not just Morning Musume, but all of H!P
Since she can’t easily see us around very much, I admire Niigaki-san who makes me feel how tough that is!!!

With Niigaki-san graduating from H!P, worries will pile up for BeriKyuu who no longer have any senpai, and whatever happens this won’t change, so I it made me think we have to work hard in order to convey to all our kouhai the things Niigaki-san and our earlier senpai have left with us up until now

Watching the stage today makes me think of many different things…

blog!project

Today I went to Morning Musume-san’s LIVE!

Niigaki-san, Aika, congrats on your graduations!

Graduation LIVEs are a sin, aren’t they.

My tears don’t stop!!

Moreover, I could see them sparkle even more than usual.

Haa~.

They’ve graduated, huh.

That’s incredible, it went by so quickly!

I look forward to the efforts of the 2 of them from now on as well!

You’ve worked hard!!!!!

Tomorrow is ℃-ute’s solo group concert

It seems like there’ll be standing room only too…

I’m happy as can be!

Since ℃-ute won’t be beaten either,

we’ll do our best～(^-^)/

Be that as it may,

It seems like my eye is swelling up today into tomorrow.

It’s terrible… (>_<)

I’ll sleep after cooling my eye down!

Everyone…

Thanks for giving me so much love…

I’ve graduated from Morning Musume!!

Because everyone was there for me, I was able to make it this far.

Having been able to meet everyone…

Whenever I’m asked, “How are you feeling?”
it feels veeery strange

“I gotta sleep soon!” I thought, but I couldn’t sleep at all…

I did nothing but read, read…and read the comments from everyone.

Everyone, thanks for posting so many comments

Surely
this will be my last Blog post
as Morning Musume Niigaki Risa, so…

with various feelings in my heart…

I’m off

Again this morning I played High School house wife

and now I’m enjoying some slow time.

Today I’m going to give you a report-!

The comic book I read

I really liked the way the story worked,

Although I think I may have seen this kind of system somewhere else.

Oh and I borrowed another DVD ★

I checked the photos on my phone

All I have are photos of food and Kumai-san

I have 1238 photos altogether! lol

The other day I tried organizing all of my photos

but I ended up forgetting what I was doing and just looking at photos!

I went to great trouble to make these lunch boxes.

Made with Great Care!

What do you think?

Such a bold lunch box! lol

(note : The seaweed on the rice says the word “Suki” which means “I like you!”

I made this at a time where the only thing I could make was fried egg! lol (^p^)

Ah I want to recommend some great cooking applications to you!
