Morning Musume。Michishige Sayumi ■ 『Konya mo ☆ Usachan Peace 』#336 13.3.25
Sayu was surprised when they told her the tour title will have her name in it even though she's the one graduating or or a new member just joining. She's very grateful that now with Reina's name also in the subtitle it really feels like a special tour for the remaining Rokkies.
She's a bit disappointed that they're not going to Yamaguchi (her hometown) this time around though.
When Tsunku made his surprise appearance and announced the 12th gen audition Sayu is... not so surprised. She just thought to herself "ahh... it's spring so already the season for auditions huh?" even before Tsunku said it himself and her reactions when he did was basically just " Oh ok, roger ^^ "
She said the audition is looking for a "Future Girl" meaning she'll shine in/brighten Morning Musume's future. If it were up to her though, she would prefer a "Present Girl", battle-ready to be an immediate asset to the group, someone like Goto Maki for example. Cuteness is still the attribute highest in her priority list though, she wanted a young girl so out-of-the-world cute that she'll make her look like a joke
NOW instead of someone who'll grow up nicely in the future

She actually said it to Tsunku and his response is just to smile bitterly xD
She thinks it's a shame that the new generation will enter after Reina graduated without being able to see for themselves how she looked on staged and learn from her professional attitude. She felt the same way when 10ki entered after Aichan's graduation.
One of the letters asked her impression on Aichan's "adult scene" on her stage play. Sayu went to see it for herself and it's unexpectedly not as big a deal as they made it out to be in tv with the close-ups and all. At any rate she's really happy to see Aichan doing her best as an actress. During her visit she hanged around Aichan's dressing room for a long time and even managed to take one or two pictures secretly... while Aichan's changing.

She's really touched when Aichan told her not to overwork herself even though Sayu never mentioned her recent health troubles.
From This Week's Morning Musume corner
-Ishida is always a very spirited girl, not just during recording or filming. Even though she ended up slipping a lot getting awkward reactions from the audience (Sayu called it Ishida Time xD ) you can always see her fighting spirit. Sayu also said that the power of her eye contact won't lose to even Yasuda Kei-san, in a way their characters are kind of similar being the usual target to pick on or tease mercilessly lol
-Sayu is not a hentai, she's just normal. Any quirks are just the way she was born...
same as Sayashi-Ikuta has grown a lot stronger (mentally) recently. She used to feel down or cry very easily when she was teased during talks or afterwards if she didn't do well in it. Recently she had embraced that boke/suberi role wholeheartedly and gotten a lot better at reacting to people poking fun at her. She seems to actually feels a sense of accomplishment from it.
-Talking with Reina a lot for Sayu is one of her method for relieving stress.
-Maachan sometimes send a serious looking mail to Sayu that is very confusing to read and after Sayu spent so much time trying to decipher the message she sent another one basically saying
"sorry, that's a lie
". Sayu finds it cute and hilarious though so it's all OK.
-----
lol defying Tsunku again, I feel like Sayu is the only one capable of saying these kind of things to his face and gets away with it or even taken seriously in current H!P

Aichan's still so kind
