Good Evening！！！ My apologies for being so late at night.
With today, 5/18
I, have been leader for one year！
Waー
It happened fast huhーーー
This one year since I became leader,
I worried about not knowing what I should do and
there were times I felt lonely but,
More than that, this year,
has had loーts of happy and fun things！
When 『Help me!!』 got to take the Oricon first place,
I was reallllly happy.
And then, the next single, 『Brainstorming/Kimi Sae Ireba Nani mo Iranai』 earned first place too,
The first two consecutive first places in 11 years for us
Really from the bottom of my heart I was happy
It’s the first place we took with everyoneeeee！
I was moved！！！！！
All the fan’s
hot cheers,
and warm cheers,
that we’re getting♪
Truly, thank you so much, always！！！！
And,
From Morning Musume。’s Suzuki Kanon-chan, yesterday she said,
“Tomorrow, it’s your one year anniversary, as leader huh, congratulations,”
she said that to me！
No way, I hadn’t thought she’d say something like that,
I was a bit awkward…
“E, th, thanksーーー”
that’s the response that came out of how I felt (。 >艸<)
From Iikubo Harunan,
a “Leader, happy one year anniversary” mail came in！
What capable juniorssss
Thanks for sticking with this kind of undependable leader（lol）
From here on too, let’s please keep working together.
Becoming leader, again, Sayumi is supported by lots of people huh… that’s how I truly feel！
Because everyone’s here, I can be strong！！！！！！！！！！
From here on too, please support Sayumi kay？
I’m leaving that to youーーーー！（lol）
