Dear Niigaki-san,Thank you very much for teaching me a lot of the choreography during the rehearsals for our first tour when I joined Morning Musume. In the beginning when I was given warnings because I couldn't do the dances at all, I was very happy that you were by my side, staying late together with Takahashi-san to watch me, and that you would hug me and say, "It's ok," when I felt insecure. When Niigaki-san's graduation was decided in January this year, I wondered, "Why?" I thought that it's very lonely. However, even though Eripon likes Niigaki-san just as she is, she also loves Niigaki-san when she's acting, so right now I'm very glad. Until Niigaki-san graduates, Eripon wants to show her grown self more and more. I truly want to do my best to make the concert tour that we're doing now very memorable for Niigaki-san. I'm extremely happy to be able to receive email from you everyday and receive an email with your thoughts after every concert. Eripon will always always love Niigaki-san. I'll always support you even after you graduate! Thank you very much.From Ikuta Erina
Dear Ikuta,You're always working hard at Oha Star, aren't you? It's been a year since Ikuta joined Morning Musume, but I think you've really grown substantially. Also, your passionate--no, overly passionate feelings for me make me happy. Thanks for everything. I'll graduate in May, but until then, let's make a lot of memories, ok? Even after I graduate, I'll be watching you, so if anything comes up, come and consult me right away, ok? I'll listen to you right away. I love Ikuta, too. Thanks for everything.From Niigaki Risa
