Sayashi Riho (鞘師里保) is a Japanese dancer and actress. She is a former idol under Hello! Project as a 9th generation member of Morning Musume and the SATOYAMA movement duo Peaberry. She was the most popular member out of Morning Musume's 2011 additions.

Statement by Sayashi Riho[4]
Thank you for your continued support towards Morning Musume。'15.

I have to make an announcement to all of you.

I, Riho Sayashi, Will graduate from Morning Musume。 on December 31st of this year.

Since kindergarten, I wanted to take part in the group Morning Musume。 and I became a member when I was 12 years old. During 5 years, I started with Tsunku♂-san and continued until now with the support of many staff, with all the Morning Musume。 and Hello! Project members, and more than anything, with the fans.

However, I thought during this year many times about continuing like this in my future life. As a human alone, I started to think if there were things that I have to experience in order to live strongly?

I have discussed many times with the people of the company, and I decided to graduate after I checked the growth of the 12th generation kohai ("kohai" means "juniors" here) this year. Concerning the day of my graduation, I had the privilege on deciding the graduation on the last day of the "Morning Musume。'15" on December 31st during the Countdown Live. Concerning the Morning Musume。's tour, the last performances will be on December 7th and 8th at the Budokan.

I am really sorry for the abrupt news. I think this is quite a surprise. But until now, inside of me, it has worried me. And it has led me to this decision.

From now, I think I want to study abroad and learn more English and dance. Then with those experiences I will mature much more, and I will try my best to come back as soon as possible.

There are 2 months left until then, but until this moment with all the members I will do everything we have to do for "Morning Musume。'15".

Until December 31st, I want to run through everything with all my power so please continue to support me!

Riho Sayashi

Statement from UP-FRONT PROMOTION[4]

Statement from Sayashi Riho[5][30]
To all of the fans who have constantly supported me as well as to everyone whom I’ve worked with

How are all of you doing?
It’s been a while. This is Sayashi Riho.
I’m doing well!

In order to push forward towards my new goals,
I, Sayashi Riho, want to bring things to an end within myself, and this is due to my own selfish desires,
But the decision has been made, and I will be leaving UP-FRONT PROMOTION, who have been taking care of me since my debut.

This is the result of long consideration and discussions,
But the announcement has ended up being quite sudden. Please forgive me for that.

Ever since I joined Morning Musume。 when I was 12,
It was a headlong charge, and I got to have many wonderful experiences.
Those experiences made me want to see even more aspects of the world, and even after graduating from Morning Musume。,
I’ve been studying abroad, based in New York, learning language and dancing.

And now, this is what I think: I would like to absorb even more things.

So, I’ll become even more of a new me
And move on forward, in order to reunite with all of you once again.

The fans who support me, regardless of the fact that about 3 years have passed since I graduated
Have, truthfully, been a source of daily emotional support for me. Thank you so very much!

I still want to sing! I still want to dance! I still want to act!
If you could find it in you, please warmly watch over me, a person who harbors so many dreams.

To all of you who have supported me up until now as a member of Morning Musume。 and Hello!Project,
There may be discussions in the future, but I’m very much obliged to you.
From the bottom of my heart, I’m grateful.

From now on, I will continue to count on you.
Thank you very much!

  • She was voted 3rd favorite member in the 2013 "Hello! Project Music Awards" event.[101]

Trivia[]

  • Her surname Sayashi (鞘師) is incredibly rare, only 50 individuals in Japan share the same surname.
  • She, along with Suzuki Kanon are the first members of Morning Musume that were born after the group's formation in September 1997.
  • During her Morning Musume audition she wore number 501.
  • Since her debut, Sayashi has had a solo line in every single A-side except for "Oh my wish!", "Mikaeri Bijin", and "One and Only".
  • She has a scar on her chin, which she got by cutting it on a juice can when she was little.
  • Her mother speaks in Kansai dialect and shares the same birthday as Sato Masaki.
  • She is not good at waking up in the morning.
  • When asked the question "If you could become another Hello! Project member, who would you be?", Takahashi Ai said she would like to be Sayashi because she wants to be called cute no matter what she does, and Niigaki Risa said that she would like to be Sayashi (or Suzuki Kanon) because she wants to feel what it is like to be young again.
  • She can bend both her thumbs all the way back.
  • Outside of Morning Musume, she said she would be a nail artist.
  • She shared the position of the lead vocalist together with Tanaka Reina, until the latter graduated.
  • She stated that her rival is herself.
  • Sayashi expressed her admiration for ANGERME member Murota Mizuki on her radio show.
  • Tsunku commented on Sayashi: "She has become much more feminine and courageous lately. There hasn't been anyone like her in the group before. Maybe not even in showbiz. She keeps improving silently. It'll be interesting to see how she will be when she's 20."[102]
  • She is known to have a "parts fetish", namely for Fukumura Mizuki's arms, and said that it makes her feel like a perverted old man.
  • She has said that she is very shy when meeting new people and making new friends.

  • Sayashi is a fan of model and TV personality Rola.[103][104]
  • Her graduation marked the 9th time a member of Hello! Project graduated in a Hello! Project concert rather than a group concert tour. It was also the first time a member graduated during a countdown live.
  • Actress Matsuoka Mayu is a huge fan of Sayashi, and she cried when they met in person on a variety TV show.
  • She is one of three Morning Musume members to have the blood type AB, the others being Kago Ai and Kamei Eri.
  • She shares the same birthday as ANGERME member Sasaki Rikako and former Coconuts Musume member Mika.
  • While a Morning Musume member, Sayashi drew a character on her goods named Sayamaru (さやまる), which is described as being the size of a ping-pong ball, weighing like a marble, and liking cider and sleep. Although it became Sayashi's character, Sayamaru was actually created by Fukumura Mizuki.[105]
