SUMMARY BY ONDIET@HELLO!ONLINE:

Sayu was supposed to go to the dentist after this radio show recording however, at the thought of already talking non-stop for an hour, she didn’t feel like going for her appointment so she asked her mother to cancel it for her. Her mother then replied with a “Ohhaa” which made Sayu wondered what happened. She decided to leave it as it is and didn’t reply her mother. Her mother later sent another mail to Sayu to correct herself. She initially wanted to reply with an “Okay” and not “Ohhaa.” It got a “You can actually type that wrongly?” reaction out of Sayu.

Morning Musume – Inspiration ♪

Some time ago, Sayu was sent to Yamaguchi for Nanchatte Renai’s promotions. Sayu was very happy to be able to hold a campaign there as Morning Musume had held only 2 concerts in Yamaguchi. There isn’t any special discovery that she made during this trip. She recognises the awesomeness of the fans who follows them no matter where they go though. During her Ameba Show which was one day after the events in Yamaguchi, Sayu saw the fans who followed them to Yamaguchi came back to Tokyo and were present for the show too. Sayu is grateful towards all these dedicated fans.

When Sayu was on “Gokigenyou” (A TV show), on 1 of the episodes, Inagawa-san shared a scary story with them. Sayu couldn’t exactly understand the story fully but the atmosphere of the studio was certainly scary enough. Also, as Inagawa-san spoke, the blood vessels in his eyes somewhat reddened and that force from that pair of eyes frightened Sayu.

- Kao wa Butanai de! Atashi Jouyuu nan dakara –

1st Phrase : Cute
Verdict : Actress

Situation : Upon seeing a puppy…
Sayu : Cute ~ ♥
Even when Sayu sees a baby. she says the same thing. But whenever she praises a baby for his/her cuteness, a small part of Sayu wants the mother of the child to see her praising her child.

Situation : Upon seeing a girl who is cuter than yourself…
Sayu : Cute ~
Sayu loves cute girls. Just like when she looks at the rest of the members, she finds them cute too. Maybe its because Sayu is pretty free during song performances (She said this herself xD), she often ends up observing the other members and tries to imagine herself as one of the member. Apparently she enjoys doing that ^^;

Situation : While looking at your reflection in the mirror…
Sayu : Cute.
One of the reasons behind Sayu’s frequent self-proclamations of being cute is to give herself some confidence (She is cute). But now these self-proclamations have became more like a duty and something that she just has to do somewhat because she got herself this image.

2nd Phrase : No way
Verdict : Great actress

Situation : Upon weighing yourself after not checking your weight for sometime and realising you have gained a surprising amount of weight…
Sayu : No way…
This happens to Sayu. Although she weighs herself daily, as she can’t possibly bring a weighing scale along when she goes overseas, she can’t weigh herself. She will then overeat and end up regretting it.

Situation : Upon hearing that Nakazawa (Yuko)-san will be getting married…
Sayu : No way!
She will be happy for Yuko. In fact, she hopes that Yuko settles down soon.

Situation : Upon hearing that “Konusapi” (This radio show) will stop…
Sayu : No way…
Sayu will be shocked. She doesn’t want this radio show to end (This isn’t the 1st time she is saying this. This girl really loves “Konusapi”)

3rd Phrase : How is/was it?
Verdict : Lousy actress

Situation : After the members ate the sweets you made…
Sayu : How was it?
She doesn’t make confections so she can’t really relate herself to that situation well.

Situation : To your sister who has been resting on bed as she isn’t feeling well…
Sayu : How is it?

Sayu’s mother is a very careful person. If any of Sayu’s siblings is not feeling well, she will make sure Sayu doesn’t go close to him/her so that she will not get the virus. Therefore, Sayu doesn’t get much chances to say ask her sister how she’s feeling as she will only be able to see her after she recovers.

Situation : Putting on a sexy outfit and appearing in front of your boyfriend…
Sayu : How is it? ♥
Sayu cosplays often when she is at home. She wants to show people her cosplays rather than just looking at herself in the mirror and thinking that she looks cute in that outfit.

Morning Musume – Aruiteru ♪

Something that irritated Sayu recently is…drama. She has been watching a 4-way-love drama and is so into it that she gets frustrated when the actor/actress be kind to another character when Sayu doesn’t think that the character deserves such a good treatment. The drama doesn’t move on as how Sayu wants it to be so she got irritated by it.

SUMMARY BY ONDIET:

Back then in Yamaguchi, the sports festival are normally held in autumns. As a not-so-fit bunny, Sayu naturally feels troubled whenever summer vacation comes to an end. Sayu really hates events like foot race and obstacle race because whenever she participates in them, she has this feeling that the audience is watching her every movement. One more reason for why she doesn’t like sports festival is because of her family would turn up to support her. Her mother would cheer her name “Sayucha~n” out loud like nobody’s business and embarrass Sayu.

Morning Musume – Koi-ING ♪
C/W of “Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~”

Sayu was requested to describe each of the members with a phrase/word.
Aichan → Aspiration
Gaki-san → Friendly

Eri → Mood-maker
Whenever Eri is around, she makes the atmosphere better. Sayu believes she isn’t the only one who thinks so.
From Sayu’s personal point of view, Eri → Notices everything.
Eri notices every little thing. One perfect example – Recently, when Sayu greeted Eri in the morning, from her greeting, Eri immediately observed that Sayu wasn’t feeling too energetic that day. Sayu is amazed by Eri’s observation skills.

Reina → Outgoing
Koharu → Carefree
Aika → Worrisome
Junjun → I don’t know what’s a suitable phrase…but Sayu just said that Junjun drinks lots of water.
Linlin → Funny

Sayu is more than willing to send her elder sister all the detergents she won on “Gokigenyou” (A TV show Sayu appeared on not long ago). The other day when Sayu went over to her sister’s house, her sister was wearing the same outfit as the one she had on when she went out with Sayu. Sayu thought it was just coincidence since it was 2 different days. However, the day before the recording of this episode, Sayu received a mail from her sister with a picture of the purikura she took with her friends and AGAIN, her sister was wearing the same outfit. Sayu thinks that her sister may be beginning to neglect her own hygiene or something. During the visit to her sister’s house too, Sayu stayed over for a night and her sister slept in that outfit, without changing into pyjamas. She really wants her sister to start doing the laundry for her own good.

Sayu’s sister has a habit of sending her mails about where she went with her friends. Sayu has no idea whether she sent it because she is forgetful or she had other intentions, but Sayu’s sister often send her mails saying “Send me the venue I sent you the other day” as though Sayu is her notebook xD

Sayu’s sister touches her pet kitty’s paws often. Talking about the pet kitty, Sayu’s mother had found out about it already. It wasn’t Sayu who betrayed her sister though.

SUMMARY BY ONDIET@HELLO!ONLINE:

Its 2009 September 09! A day full of 9s~

Recently, whenever Sayu can’t fall asleep at night, she will play games. She will switch off the lights in her room so that the only light in the room is from her gaming device. One day, when she did the same thing, suddenly, the light of her gaming device flickered non-stop, as though there was a sandstorm. She took a break and turned it off before playing with it again. Again, around 15 minutes later, the same thing happened. Sayu was frightened as she was playing in the same room as the room where she met the girl. She thought it might be because of that so she stopped playing. The next day, she played again and her device didn’t flicker. Sayu then concluded that it was not her device that was not working well and that the girl must had been in her room that day.

Morning Musume – Nanchatte Renai ♪

Sayu made a small mistake of calling “Haro” “Haru” (Spring)

During one of the Hello! Project 2009 Summer ~Hello Chanpuru~ concerts, Sayu let down her hair for the first few performances that she was involved it. As she has a long break in between her first 2 performances and her next performance, she would only tie up her hair during that break. She ties up her hair during concerts because if she don’t, her hair will get in the way. Also, if she lets down her hair, its very warm and she will sweat a lot resulting in an ugly looking Sayu. Once, during a rehearsal, she didn’t tie up her hair and after all the sweating, her dance teacher commented that Sayu looked hideous ^^;

Sayu is a subscriber of Pocket Morning Diary. Like other subscribers, she pays the 315yen monthly to receive the mails sent out by the Hello! Project members. She reads all the mails as well as the Pocket Morning Q&A. For the July 26 Pocket Morning Q&A, the Morning Musume members were asked what they eat or drink during the break of the concert. As the question didn’t specify what break they were referring to, Sayu thought it was the break in between a song while other members answered it according to the break in between concerts. Hence, all the members’ answers were very different. Sayu was asked to verify with all the listeners whether Junjun really eats nattou after a concert. Its true. Junjun loves to eat nattou. As there are days whereby the catering service will not have nattou among their dishes, Junjun will always bring her own box of nattou.

Eri’s posture ♥

Although this dance movement looks like its harder for all 9 members to be in sync, they surprisingly did well for this part during the PV recording. Instead, its the other dance steps that the members can’t seem to be do it properly together. During their rehearsals, their dance teacher will point out any parts that wasn’t in sync to them. They are told “You guys aren’t in sync for this part” often and in fact, there are times whereby its just Sayu who isn’t in sync. Under such circumstances, she will confirm the movements again with her dance teacher.

Sayu realised that the choreographies for Morning Musume’s songs are becoming more and more difficult every time. When they first learned the choreography for “Resonant Blue”, Sayu thought, “Such difficult choreography wouldn’t exist” but as they moved on, songs like “Naichau Kamo” has an even more challenging choreography waiting for them. The dance steps have became so difficult that Sayu can no longer catch up without extra practice. Meanwhile, the Morning Musume fans are still able to dance together with them even without professional help. Sayu thinks that the fans are more talented than her.

- Dajarenboo Shogun –

#1. Rebaa mo tabe rebaa (If you eat liver too)
Although Sayu flushed this into the toilet bowl, she found it pretty good. In fact, she will give it a Shogun rank. Its a perfect pun for people to make when one is in a Yakiniku store with friends and family to get everyone hyped up.

#2. Konna ni oishii ikura, ikkura demo tabrareru ne (These salmon roes are so delicious that I can eat lots of them)
Nothing too special so Sayu flushed it into the toilet bowl.

#3. Ishikawa-san no meeru wa ki ga meeru (Ishikawa-san’s mail sounds depressed)
Dajarenboo Shogun!

#4. Hikouki no fukusoujuushi ni totte motto mo taisetsu wa pointo wa, fukusou juushi (A very important point for the co-pilot of a plane to take note of is the clothes)
Flushed into the toilet bowl. Sayu wasn’t the only one who took some time to comprehend the pun.

#5. Kono masukara wo tsukemasu kara (I’ll use this mascara)
Flushed into the toilet bowl~ The Morning Musume members make puns often and Linlin sometimes teach them some Chinese pun-like jokes. The puns and jokes they make are of Konusapi’s “Flushed into the toilet bowl” standard though…

#6. Kappa ga kyuuri o kapparau (The kappa took the cucumber and walked off)
Flushed into the toilet bowl ~ even though Sayu felt like giving it a “Dajarenboo Otousan” rank. This entry was sent in by Amakuchi-san. Amakuchi-san sends in mails to Konusapi frequently since 2 years ago. His suggested punishment lines were often used back then when “Quiz Shigesagon” corner was still going on. Sayu once said that Amakuchi-san’s punishment lines tend to be more embarrassing as compared to the rest of the listeners’ on one of the episode. So anyway, she took this chance to take revenge on Amakuchi-san by flushing his entry into the toilet bowl, lol. It wasn’t exactly flushed in just because of that though. It was partly because of the context of the pun.

#7. Aijou komete kaita rabu retaa wa yabuburareta (The filled-with-love love letter written by me was torn up)
Dajarenboo Otousan!

Sayu hears stuff like about people’s love for one another will gradually weaken after they get married but Sayu will not want that to happen to her marriage. She wants her relationship with her husband to remain as before even after marriage.

Michishige Sayumi – It’s You ♪
Since its 090909, Sayu selected a song from Platinum 9 DISC.

Despite being the customer, Sayu doesn’t dare to speak up. For example, after a hair cut, although she wants a certain area to be styled another way/trimmed shorter, she doesn’t say it out. When getting a massage too, even when she wants the masseur to use a little more strength or to use lesser force as its hurting, she will just keep it to herself. If she happens to be together with her mother, she will ask her mother to tell the masseur that on her behalf.

Sayu fumbled with her lines quite a bit near the end of the show.

Summary by OnDiet:

Sayu and Junjun were sent to Yamaguchi to promote “Nanchatte Renai” in August. They visited the Tokuyama zoo together during that trip. However, because it was summer at that time, the weather was naturally very humid. Sayu was not the only one feeling warm though. The animals there were too. They were so restless that even when Sayu called out to them they didn’t even respond. The monkeys’ faces were redder than usual too. Watching how energy-less the animals were, Sayu laughed out loud. The animals really made her day.

Morning Musume – Nanchatte Renai ♪

During concerts, there will be a catering service available in the backstage and the food they offer are mainly steak and fried food. There are also set meals like Shougayaki. The catering service will definitely prepare salads too. Sayu has no idea whether its because the Morning Musume members like it, but no matter what, they will prepare salads for them. These are the common dishes that they get. Whenever they get pasta, Sayu will be overjoyed as they don’t get noodle-related dishes often. Also, it will be good if there is chilled Chinese noodles during summer. Sayu likes Kakuni and had once overate it resulting in an unpleasant feeling in her stomach in the mid of the concert. To avoid letting history repeat itself, Sayu is restraining herself from eating Kakuni so that she wouldn’t give in to temptation. There are often fish dishes available too. Sayu is okay with the salmons but not mackerels because even after eating and brushing her teeth, in the mid of the concert, Sayu will still be able to smell the mackerel smell in her mouth. She likes mackerels, but she is restraining herself from eating them before concerts.

When Sayu was 18 years old, she was on a diet. Not exactly a diet. She stopped herself from eating. Thinking back, she thought she had a pretty strong mentality as the current Sayu will definitely not be able to do so. Surprisingly, she enjoyed being able to resist to temptation back then but once, during her off, she ate something sweet and totally lost control of herself. By doing that, she gained 2kg within a day. The current Sayu gains weight easily too. After a meal of yakiniku, she can easily gain 1.2kg. She doesn’t restrain herself from eating nowadays though, she remembers how worried her mother was when she was on the killer-diet 2 years ago. Now, she will just be careful of what she eats.

Not long ago, the OGs and Morning Musume appeared on Music Station. They had rehearsals together for that appearance and the rehearsals made Sayu realised how each and everyone of them has a strong personality and was still like before. The my-pace Konkon would turn up later for the rehearsals and enter the the room with a “Good morning~” in a fluffy manner. Yuko took the chance to tell them to request for a signed copy of the upcoming 41st single. Charmy was so kind to Sayu during the rehearsals that it made Sayu somewhat regret what she said about Charmy on radio shows.

Situation : When watching “Platinum 9 DISCO” concert DVD
Angel Sayumi : It brings back the memories of the fun concert tour!
Devil Sayumi : Well, I can just skip those parts without me.

Sayu really does what the “Devil Sayumi” said. However, if she gets some free time, she will watch the full DVD. Still, she will concentrate more on “It’s You”, her solo song. Sayu believes the rest of the members and the fans do it too. Forwarding the DVD to/repeating the parts they like.

Situation : What is the dish that you’re most confident of making?
Angel Sayumi : I don’t cook often…
Devil Sayumi : My skilful talks sprinkled with sexy-ness is a delicious dish for all the listeners right?

Situation : When Tsunku gives Sayu a solo part.
Angel Sayumi : Wuaaah~ Thank you! I will try my very best for it!
Devil Sayumi : Gees, you’re slow. You only noticed my talent now. You should give me the chorus next.

Sayu is amazed by how well Aichan handles the choruses. Even in front of the audience, she is not only able to nail her lines perfectly, she is able to put on relevant facial expressions. Lots of hard work are hidden behind Aichan’s performances! Sayu is motivated to work hard too! (:

Situation : After appearing on a number of variety shows.
Angel Sayumi : I was nervous at first but the entertainers/actresses were very kind to me so I felt relaxed.
Devil Sayumi : Again, I realised I’m the cutest of all.

Nope, Sayu really don’t think so. As Sayu is often seated at the back row in variety shows, she gets to observe the rest of the entertainers. She noticed the entertainers all have a very slim neck ^^; Also, the entertainers were very kind. Maybe its because they have once experienced what Sayu is going through now, they are able to sense Sayu’s nervousness even without Sayu telling them. They made her feel welcomed by chatting with her and assuring her that everything will go without a hitch.

Situation : Ishikawa rushing into the elevator right before the door closed.
Angel Sayumi : That was dangerous! The door almost closed on Ishikawa-san!
Devil Sayumi : Bleah. If only I had pressed the “close” button a little faster.
