    I feel the opposite. I’m glad because she’s played her part and now she’s moving on. I understand a lot of people are upset as well because she was the last member of Platinum Era and even during Shabondama era but I’m still happy she’s leaving.

    She will be missed but not by me. I want to see how Morning Musume will evolve now with members from 2011 to now.

      I think it was the best moment for Sayumi to graduate.
      The 9th and the 10th generation members are ready now.
      I’m wondering who will be the new leader.

    Oh. Sayumi va partir ?! En même temps elle est restée au sein du groupe ça va faire 11 ans presque. Je n’ai connue les Morning Musume qu’en 2012 mais j’ai appris à connaître quasiment tous les membres du groupe. Je souhaite à Sayumi une bonne continuation après sa graduation…

      Effectivement, c’est une page qui se tourne chez les Morning Musume.
      Je ne pensais pas que Sayumi resterait si longtemps.
      En tant que leader, elle a fait un excellent boulot avec la nouvelle génération.
