With the Sayupocolypse upon us, let us all gather our energy! Ready….GO!
It will be a bit sad to watch Sayumi graduate, after all it is the end of another era. I have watched Morning Musume from the second generation I still remember how she shocked everyone the first time she told the world that she was the cutest. If it is her wish to go out on top, this I can understand but it is still a bit sad, and I have come to enjoy Sayumi’s blogs and hope she continues in some way.
I totally agree with that. I know the time was coming and she’s on to new and exciting things I’m sure. But it’s still a hard hit.
As a long time Sayumi fan (she’s my first and last only oshi), it’s very sad to see her graduate but at the same time happy for her and wish her all the best. I’m truly blessed to have known a person like her and though my only regret is not be able to see her in person and thank her for being my inspiration through out this several years.
Anyways as always thank you Invis for the great translation of Sayu’s blog. I’m one of the avid followers of her blog since the beginning started by sferris on hyakupa if I’m not mistaken then you took over on translating. For the record, I’ve read them all. Thanks for your hard work.
