Tsunku's letter to Sayu for her last KonUsaPi episode.

Michishige, you’ve really worked hard on hosting this show for the past 8 years, haven’t you?

Now that your graduation is approaching, you’ve been appearing on all kinds of different shows lately, which I think have let you experience lots of new things.

Originally just a complete newbie country girl who didn’t know left from right… you really worked hard to be where you are now — or maybe it was exactly because you were a country girl that enabled you to work so hard. But while Reina’s Hakata dialect was always very prominent, I would’ve liked to hear some more of your Yamaguchi dialect over the years.

25 years old — indeed, I, too, think it’s good timing. If you surprise everyone and get yourself huge amounts of PR with a sudden marriage announcement right after your graduation, I don’t think I’d have any choice but to admit you’re a better producer than I. Well, I don’t think you’ll do that, though, but who knows? Maybe there’ll be a prince on a white horse coming along to see you at Yokohama? (laughs) (note: a reference to the lyrics of “Lalala no Pipipi”)

Please enjoy your freedom to the fullest after your graduation. Just do your own thing, and try not to worry about anything at all. Don’t fret about troubling anyone else, and put your heart into everything you want to do. If you do that, I think that’s the first time you’ll be able to see yourself for who you really are.

Shoot me an email at some point to let me know how you’re doing after your graduation, okay?

Thank you for all your hard work.

Finally, allow me to say this. You were truly a perfect pro, Michishige. I want to sincerely congratulate you on your graduation.

Congratulations.



PS. Please forgive me for not being able to praise your vocals even at the very end. (laughs)

Tsunku♂

There are so many amazing things about that letter.

You know what? I've been a fan of Sayu since she joined the group and I am just so happy to see that so many people now like her, to the point that they're sad she's graduating. I'm sad to see her go too, but it is just so satisfying to know that people see beyond the "cutest/poison tongue" character she maintained for so long.

It still feels so strange to know that in a few hours, she'll no longer be in Momusu or H!P.

[Mizu_D3]

Mizupon as the new leader!! Yeah for Marshmallow team!!
and congratulation to Harunan & Eripon as the double-subleaders!
