btw...remember this ?

Spoiler: show

From ToPYell

"Describe this year in one character"

Sayu
The numeral character "One"
This year, sixth generation members, me and Tanaka Reina are at the top of Morning Musume.
After becoming the leader I've experienced, thought about, and were troubled by a lot of things but with everyone's support I'm still doing my best.
Two of us sixth generation members, since becoming the top members of the group have deepened our bond.
The group has celebrated its 15th anniversary and I think is heading in a good direction. Even though we've celebrated our 15th anniversary we can also consider this our new start line, in a good way.
Starting again from the beginning, as a Reborn Morning Musume.
The only thing I found frustrating is that our single has yet to reach first place in Oricon rankings, but next year for sure !!

Congratulations Sayu!! You've made it at the right at the start of the year
Please don't stop anytime soon, your Reborn Morning Musume is just beginning!! Keep being a great leader and continue to pull Morning Musume forward to a new era, you'll always have my support

----- Translated Sayu's blog post about the weekly #1st ... cmiiw as always

Morning Musume。's 52nd single 『Help me!!』,
has managed to take #1st place in Oricon Weekly Ranking!

Honestly…

I'm so happy。

That our first single in 2013 can bring this kind of result …
I'm very honored, and just so so happy


For 9ki、10ki、11ki this is also their first Oricon Weekly #1st

With this as a start, I hope this would be a good opportunity for a lot of other people to start knowing our current Morning Musume。
and I think it'll be great if we could seize any chance to appeal more

Please continue to look after Morning Musume from now on too!

and
It's been about 3 years and 8 months since our last Oricon Weekly #1st
So this is my first weekly #1st place as a leader

Since becoming Leader, everyday is still a learning experience but this result makes me really happy

Yesterday 1/28 was the 15th anniversary of Morning Musume。's major debut

Now that we're past our 15th anniversary
Creating a new Morning Musume is my mission as Leader

Many parts of me have still a long way to go as a leader but…

I'll keep doing my best

To everyone of the fans who always keep supporting us warmly

From the bottom of my heart, these feelings of gratitude

Truly, thank you very much

To always live up to your expectations、、
To always bring more and more joy for everyone
I'll keep doing my best too!

From now on and a long while after, please continue to take care of me!!

Sayuuuuuuu

To get a #1 on their anniversary too, so touching. <3

Someone on HO uploaded a mp3 of Maachan singing Sakura's line "Kokoro ja itsumo sakende iru no ni"
http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?/ ... try1619907

Shes too good, and deserves a push :O she has such a good vocal range but i think she lacks a certain developed and mature type of voice that Sakura has.

It'll probably come in time though

Sayu have so much charisma

Can all this coming together be a coincident, I mean on their 15th anni they getz the 1st Weekly, and after Sayu saying that they will get no.1 in that interview. It looked like everything is coming together like magic. Sayu's magic
