Riho-chan,

Congratulations on your graduation. The day has finally come… Up until now, we had said our goodbyes to the seniors in Morning Musume, so I couldn’t imagine seeing you off like this. It feels like there hasn’t been any time until today. 
Right after joining Morning Musume you became center, danced, sung; little by little, I began to become envious of you. I tried hard, thinking, “If I could just catch up a little more…” But I understood how hard it must have been to do that right after joining. I also know how much strength it took to stand in that position. You’d lie, saying “it’s not painful.” I cheered you on from the bottom of my heart.
Thinking about it now, us 9ki were truly just kids when we joined… You were just in elementary school.  9ki is often told we laugh a lot, but not being able to catch up with our seniors after debuting was tough. Whether they were happy or angry, we collected many memories. 
And now 5 years from then, getting to where we should originally be. Your hard work turned into confidence. All the brilliant performances you gave were very cool. You were the pride of Morning Musume ‘15.
Separate from your stage self, the super pervert Riho-chan. At first it was only in front of 9ki, but over time the other members found it out. And finally all the fans found it out, too. But I think the number of people who forgive you for that has increased, so I was happy about that.
It’s been 2 months since you announced your graduation. I’m sure you especially felt it, but you’re loved by many, many people. Because you’re the Riho-chan loved by so many, you’ll be fine when you study abroad. Don’t close yourself off completely! Slowly make friends! And talk to me if you need to! 
The rest of Morning Musume ‘15, since you’ve announced your graduation, have felt anxious. I really think it’ll be tough without you. But because you gave all your best until now, I will now give my all. We’ll have the fans as well. Tomorrow we become Morning Musume ‘16… Please watch over all of us when tomorrow comes.
Thank you so much for your 5 years, Riho-chan.

Congratulations on your graduation.

Morning Musume ‘15, 9ki, Fukumura Mizuki.

So basically, there was this fan with her friend that happened to be at TV Asahi Kakigori store. 

~Looking at the people lining up at the cashier~

Fan: (Eh? That person looks like Haga chan…)

Fan: Hey, that girl in the yellow shirt might be from Morning Musume..

Friend: EH?! Really?! Ha?! Try talking to her!

Fan: But I might be wrong….

Friend: But they are wearing their mask though?

Fan: Hey,why don’t you try searching about Haga Akane (LOL)

-Friend went to research-

Fan: I am correct, right?

Fan: (The girl beside her (Akane) looks like her friends..Well, I should try talking to her.) 

Fan: Are you Morning Musume’s Haga chan…?

-At this point the “friend” turned around- 

Fan: EH?!?!?!?! Daaishi?! 

(The fan was in bewilderment at this point of time) 

Friend: EHHHHHHHHH! KYAAAAA!!!!

Ayumi: Shh shh shh!!!!! Keep it down! (LOL) 

Friend: Sorry (LOL) Please shake hands with me! 

Akane & Ayumi: Sure! 

-During the handshake-

Fan: I love Morning Musume…if I get picked for the Shizuoka concert, I will go! Ahahaha

Akane & Ayumi: Really!!!! 

Fan: OMG OMG OMG 

Akane & Ayumi: (In the midst of laughing) 

-Akane & Ayumi went to their seats after buying the kakigori- 

Friend: Hey! There are still two more people around! 

Fan: EHHHHH?! ?! ?! 

(So the fan looked at the direction that Ayumi went to) 

Fan: Fuku chan and Maria chan! (The fan was really shaking very hard at this point of time > probably due to excitement) 

Fan: I wanna shake hands with them, omg. 

Friend: Why don’t you go! 

Fan: I’m going! 

Fan: Excuse me… you are Fuku chan and Maria chan right? May I please have a handshake? 

-Maria just kept on smiling without saying anything- 

Fuku chan: Our hands might be sticky(?) from the kakigori, sorry. 

Fan: Ah! It’s alright!!!! Thank you very much!

Oh my wish!
Lyrics and composition by Tsunku
Arrangement by Okubo Kaoru

• The group is split into a singing team and dance team (probably like ANGERME’s Nana Korobi Ya Oki).
• Fukumura Mizuki, Ikuta Erina, Sayashi Riho and Ishida Ayumi are on the dance team, with the rest of the group singing.
• Suzuki Kanon says she’s happy to be on the singing team because she gets a solo part(!), and that the dance team performance is cool.
• Haga Akane and Ogata Haruna have dialogue parts.

Sukatto My Heart
Lyrics and composition by Tsunku
Arrangement by Suzuki Shunsuke

• A fun disco song.
• Ogata says the blue and white marine costumes have a cute MM logo and anchor on them, and hopes everyone will quickly notice the four members wearing hats (Suzuki, Iikubo, herself, and Haga).

Imasugu Tobikomu Yuuki
Lyrics by Kodama Ameko and Miura Yoshiko
Composition by Taisei
Arrangement by Hamada Pierre Yusuke

• Sato Masaki cried when she first read the lyrics. She says the song’s lyrics apply to herself and the whole group, which made it easy for her to put emotion into the recording.
• Sato and Nonaka Miki are the main singers.
• Nonaka says the song has a refreshing, sweet image.

A Miki-Sato lead song? A no-riho-lines song? Is this really Morning Musume ‘numbers ?
