Former Morning Musume。member Sayashi Riho has marked the first anniversary of her major debut, according to an announcement on her official X account. A new concept EP, “OWN,” is set for release on September 2, and it’s also been revealed that Sayashi will play the role of Saeko in the live-action drama adaptation of the manga “Tsukikana.” On the Hello! Project board, threads buzzed not only with reactions to the happy news but also with grumbling about the discussion skewing too heavily toward Riho-related chatter, plus jabs at a stray “BABYMETAL” reference that had crept into the thread title.

Non's already burned through this month's data allowance-resu ;; (this poster refers to herself as "Non" and has a cutesy verbal tic of ending sentences in "-resu" instead of "desu")

Starting yet another pointless crap thread, huh — and isn't "BABYMETAL" the wrong board at this point?

I get why Kagoshima's a Berserker, but I can't picture anything at all for Miyazaki (riffing on a meme that assigns Fate-style character classes to Japan's prefectures)

On Morning Musume's Sea of Japan location shoot, when Gomaki (Goto Maki) was seasick and puking her guts out, the one standing behind her holding back her own urge to hurl, looking thoroughly miserable, was Nacchi-resu. And the one gently rubbing Gomaki's back beside her was Ishikawa Rika-resu. Non's been a fan of Rika-c (her nickname for Ishikawa Rika) ever since-resu

Background and key points of this topic
Sayashi Riho joined Morning Musume。as a 9th-generation member in 2011 and graduated on December 31, 2015. Now a former idol, she works as a singer, actress, and choreographer. According to the official announcement, this anniversary marks one year since her major debut, with the concept EP “OWN” also set for release on September 2. The thread’s reactions split between congratulations over this official news and grumbling over the off-topic word “BABYMETAL” that had slipped into the thread title. Worth noting for readers: most of the jabs in the thread weren’t really aimed at Sayashi herself, but were in-jokes among a handful of regular posters who keep starting these threads over and over — a different context from the main news story.
