For English-speaker fans, there's a page where you can send your message to Sayumi, and they are planning to make a gift-book out of all the messages and give it to her on the graduation day. They say they have translators so not to worry about if it's in English.
You can send it on here:

Roughly 12 hours for this to be closed. If anyone wants to send a message to Sayu, this is the time!
(I still haven't sent mine, but I will today)

It's already closed! Why didn't I see this earlier??

[BerryzCelebration]

Is it bad that I'm actually looking forward to Sayu's graduation?

I love her a lot, she's worked her ass off to become as relevant as she is in the entertainment world as she is now. But I don't know, it would be neat to see Morning Musume 15 and future generations try to live on her legacy.

In general, I'm excited for the January winter concerts. So many new changes! I am sad Sayu's leaving, but i'm very excited for the future of H!P

Try sending a PM to their facebook page. it might work, I'm not sure. But they were accepting messages that way some time after the closure. Even I got to clarify some things with them after it (I had forgotten to mention my email, name and country ) I think they're doing the gift manually, so, they still can add things up to the final day. You should try anyway


Speaking of which, I sent mine and they sent me the approval
I chose the second format by the way, the one with a photo. Don't have any destacable photos though, so I sent 2 pictures. 2 drawings actually. Don't know if 2 is okay, so told them if only one them to select the second one. But they didn't mention anything wrong at the reply so I guess it's OK
One is the one I did last year: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=60&start=580#p126831

Spoiler: show

The second one is a picture I've been working on in the past few days, specially for the occassion. I finished it yesterday, and it has taken me at least 10 hours, and more for sure.
It's an A3 so it was hard to scan too
Tried my best and I'm quite happy with the result, although it looks a bit srange because of the a-bit-messy-hair. And actually it took me ages to hit the right expression of joy (damn, Sayu's mouth is so hard to draw).
Plus, there are some details..... (guys, find them all)
Anyway, here it is:

Spoiler: show

I'm also planning to send it to the J-Melo Portrait Contest, just as an extra (I've already got a bunch of pictures and I'll try to do at least one for each girl, including 12 gen )
But first the others

The message is a secret though.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder! I'd like to do a watercolor of Riho for that, but I wonder if I can scrounge up the time to do it. On top of that, I'm woefully out of practice: I haven't done any painting in over 20 years.
