No matter which song of theirs I listen to, it’s like I can only hear Sayashi and I just start to cry. I can’t believe that such a cute living being could actually exist in the real world. I was talking to a friend on Twitter the other day and that’s when he told me about Sayashi… I’d like to ask him a couple of hard questions as to why the hell he didn’t introduce me to her when she was still an active member.

Yeah. It’s been known to happen.

I only got to know about her a month before her graduation so I only just barely managed to shake hands with her — even though I knew almost nothing about her. I was a complete newbie, but I made a decision and I stuck to it.

Sayashi continues to be bait for attracting new fans.

My friend was saying Sayashi’s going to be making a comeback soon and so I should go and see her in concert when she does… But let’s be real: I don’t have the courage to attend an idol concert.

Don’t trust anything the Sayashi wota say.

26. I’m jealous of everyone who’s the same age as her. If I was the same age as her at least, I think I might be able to muster up the courage to go see her live.

Honestly, I feel that it’d be harder going to an idol concert if one happened to be young like you.

For her own sake, I hope she doesn’t come back to show business.
She should just get married and be happy.

I’m not an idol otaku so I’m pretty clueless, but what you’re saying is that this girl is no longer considered an idol, right? I want her to be happy in love, too. It’s like, I like her so much, I can only hope that she gets herself a nice boyfriend. I never really got the whole thing about considering it “bad” if the idol you like finds a boyfriend. Isn’t it just normal human nature to wish for the happiness of a person you like?

I couldn’t care less if she gets married or if she has a boyfriend.
I’m suffering from Sayashi Loss. The only thing I want is to see her in performance.

This was the Sayashi that got me to fall for her.

What even is this cute thing? Why did a girl like this become hidden? For me, the video that got me hooked on her was the “Wanko Sayashi” video. I never considered myself a lolicon or anything… and yet here I am, some 26-year-old getting hooked on this girl.

Those were fun times when I could watch her on Bijo Gaku or Hello! Pro TIME.
Nowadays I’m just sleeping around that time on Thursdays.

I bought my first DVD magazine at the last 9th gen event.
I laughed so much at the bowling stuff.

It’s Sayashi-only for me.
My smartphone and harddrive are filled with Sayashi pictures and videos.

It wasn’t so much that she was extremely talented or anything — it was simply that she was always giving it everything she had.

There’s this weird thing about Sayashi in that she’s pretty average in the looks department, and yet there’s just this earth-shattering cuteness about her.

If you think that’s “average,” you ought to go outside a bit more. I’ve seen a fair bit of women through my work, but I’ve never seen a living creature as cute as that. Although I do agree that her face is different from what’s nowadays considered cute in the mainstream.

I loved early RIHO-DELI. Even I was calling her cute by the time the show ended. There was this child-like cuteness about her.

You should watch “Pinpon Dash” as well.
Ikuta, too, was just shining around those days.

I already saw that of course. I’m not even kidding when I say her comedy was pretty much spot-on. She actually made me laugh. And she was so cute I couldn’t help but sigh. The other girl was funny, too.

A lot of the time, Ikuta (the other girl) was the only person to whom she would show her true colors. That’s what made the two so funny together. But other times they were seriously fighting with each other, too. (laughs)

The part in this video when she’s sitting on stage and the lights are shining down on her, it seriously looks so magical it’s almost like something out of a movie. I love it. That Ikuta girl is so good at playing along with her, too.

Now, when we’re talking about “cute Sayashi,” you must not overlook this video.

I’m not saying the current members are bad or anything of the sort, but Sayashi really was someone special. I totally get what Matsuoka Mayu says about her.

I’m a 28-year-old woman who’s completely stuck in the “Sayashi swamp.” I used to like Morning Musume way before, but I drifted and then came back in 2012 after seeing how fun the group had become. But then I started seeing the group getting into a slump again, so I drifted from them a second time in 2015 before once again making a comeback with the graduation of my second oshi, Duu. But I have to say that Sayashi really was someone special. She was extraordinary. I’ve started buying all the Sayashi goods I can get my hands on. I hope she has a healthy, comfortable life. And assuming it’s something that she herself also wants to do, I hope to see her performing again someday.
I like the AKB groups, Ebichuu, and Momoclo as well, but there will never be another girl that I will love as much as Sayashi.

If she comes back, I’m going to cry.
Henkka: There was a video in one of the posts that I didn’t translate, but I felt that it’d be a shame if I didn’t do my part in sharing it anyway. So here you go. This is so god damn good.

Morning Musume 20th Anniversary Official Book Interviews: Sayashi Riho
Sayashi Riho is actually a way bigger influence for younger idols than some fans might like to believe
Morning Musume’s “ENDLESS SKY” is an amazing song
What are all the Sayashi Riho fans up to these days?
Is it just me or is Hello! Project on the verge of collapse?
Thank you for your translation, Henkka.
I remember the day they announce her graduation, Its seem unreal.
Even I followed Hello Project! since 2005, no one have meaning to me like Sayashi before.
I didnt remember Country girls, Kobushi, Tsubaki or even 12ki MM at that time. To me Sayashi=Hello Project.
Many said about Utahell, but I think Rihocalypse is much worse.
I also didnt want her to comeback, to think about going through process of her graduation again make me want to cry.
I hope she have a happy life.
I don’t understand her wota that say they don’t want her to come back. She went to New York all alone to work really hard at her dancing and now you want her to not make use of it?
Not by being an idol.
I think that later year, she seems not happy with idol life.
Ah well I get this. But that’s different from just getting married and having kids. Let her get a job at the office then or be an artist under UF that’s also working behind the scenes.
How ironic as I feel the same way in how I discovered Ikuta late in the game instead.
Riho will comeback announcing her affair with Sayumi thus forcing an angry Kamei Eri out of retirement,
please let this happen
I will not be surprised if this is part of Sayu’s plant. Please bring back the Ace. i miss Riho so much.
lol be comeback plan ever! Riho…Eri come back please!
Riho will form a group named KISS ME SENPAI!
And Sayu as manager of the group. Riho will come im sure of it.
You cant be this late to a party
Its the same type of pity I feel for those who never got to experience the greatness of Kamei Eri while she was still active, I feel blessed that I discovered Morning Musume during the legendary Platinum Era

Exactly how i felt watching them, that was a true non business OTP.. Eripon was one of the only who could potentially bring out the real Riho… I remember stories back then about them hanging out together outside of work or doing matching pair type things without anybody really ever knowing, its like they didnt need to show off or brag about their friendship
Riho was usually bronze in my MM medal standings, behind MaaDuu. But I still adored her. She deserved to be the ace, and didn’t deserve the negativity fans pushed her way.
I will always remember my first individual handshake event – back in early 2014. Riho looked so surprised to see me, a relatively tall/handsome/muscular white guy rounding the divider. I used what little Japanese I could. And when I was ushered off, she literally wouldn’t let go of my hand. Five solid seconds security tugged at me before Sayashi released her grip. And they talk about Fuku-chan’s strong hands…!
She’s a funny girl. I can see why she has lots of fans.
I can’t believe they let in a Korean after the Panda fiasco
