「正直、AKBさんとかももクロさんにあって私たちにないものはなんだろうって考えこむことは、よくあるんです。でも、私たちは15年の歴史のあるグループにいられることに誇りを持っているし、負けたくない。昔みたいにいっぱいCDが売れていた時代をもう一度取り戻したいんです」（工藤遥）

Something to the effect of...
"Frankly, we don't(?) want to do the same kind of things as AKB48 and Momoiro Clover. But we have 15 years of history as a group to take pride in, and we won't lose in that. In the olden days when the group sold tons of CDs and were well known, I want to have that again."

?
(Nothing like posting a wrong translation to pull Sohee out of the woodwork!! )

"There are times I wonder what akb/momoclo-san have that we're lacking, but I'm proud to be part of a group that has 15years worth of history to our name and I don't want to lose. We want to once again sell lots of cd like we used to"
... I think

fan reports says Sayu left after the second wave of handshake events. she wasn't feeling well.

Sayuuuuuuu~
She has proven herself as a very hardworking valuable member over and over again, I hope UF would let/make her get some more rest this once... by all accounts she's not in a good condition physically and mentally right now. Seeing so many news articles about Morning Musume members getting injured/falling sick one after another worries me, while at the same time I find it almost morbidly fascinating how the media seems to care a bit more about MM right now.

...grasping to see the silver linings here, but at least it's a chance for Qki to step up >_<
