She will still be staying within H!P after her graduation. Her graduation will be held at the H!P countdown concert.

Thank you for your continued support towards Morning Musume。'15.



Today, Riho Sayashi has announced she will graduated from Morning Musume。'15 on December 31st in her blog post.



Riho became a 9th generation member and made her debut with "Majidesuka Suka" in 2011 and continued her career until now.

She said she wants to devote herself to her progress in dancing, and she talked about this matter many times. With her consent, we came to this conclusion.



Riho will graduate from Morning Musume。but she will be a Hello! Project's member after the graduation.

Before flying with her own wings, we will watch her with this new challenge.



Until her Morning Musume。'15's graduation as a member, she will continue to perform much more during the current tour and during the other activities.



Please continue to support Morning Musume。'15 and assist Riho Sayashi in the future.

lonewolf Sayashi graduating two months from now and going solo. Graduating at H!P Countdown Concert on 12/31, but not actually leaving H!P. The two Morning Musume. '15 Budokan concerts during the tour will be her last.

Her dream of performing on Kouhaku on 12/31 will be unfulfilled.

I'm... shaking right now. My heart literally skipped a beat.

Morning Musume '16 without Riho? I respect her decision but... It was so awesome watching her grow and liking her more. This must've been so hard for her to consider. She was an amazing ace too.

It seems like she wants to graduate on December 31st because it's the 5th anniversary of when 9th gen were announced. Her last MM。'15 concert will be on December 8th at Budoukan, so I'm sure there'll still be a ceremony there.

While watching some of the TV performances, I was thinking yesterday that Sayashi needed an image change. She just looks so bored. She needs a new challenge. This is the right decision.

What the hell..
I don't think anyone saw this coming.
My heart sank when I saw the article on Facebook, this really will be a huge blow for Morning Musume.

9th gen's 5th anniversary is January 2nd, 2016.

IM FEELING EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING RIGHT NOW

IM SO UPSET ABOUT THIS TBH

I hate this feeling. I feel like if she wasn't taken so lightly, bullied for her weight, neglected, and lonered then maybe she would've wanted to stay around longer. I can't help but feel a bit bitter towards the other girls except maybe Masaki and Fukuchan for helping her out when she was lonely... I feel so bad for her.

Oh shit, I missed this, but Riho says she wants to study abroad and further her English and dancing skills. But after that she wants to return to H!P.

Huh. I did not see her being the first to go. But it's been a good 4 years, which is more than we've gotten with other members. I wish her the best.

2 months is such a short turnaround time between announcement and grad though. Is this one of the shortest? I know the time between Ishiguro's announcement and graduation was quite short too.
