Fukuchan sent Yossy the newest Morning Musume single signed by all members, with a handwritter letter as well (or as Yossy puts it, a love letter!

).
Fukuchan put in her personal contact information and hopes Yossy will contact her so she can coach Fukuchan in leading Morning Musume.
Yossy is very touched and happy Fukuchan is working so hard for Morning Musume, and hopes she can be of some help!


http://ameblo.jp/hitomi-yoshizawa0412/[personal fan rant] I've been thinking this for a while now but (obvious) bias aside, Yossy has stayed very close to her former group. Far more so than most members. She was one of the MC during H!P concerts where EriJunLin announced their grad, the first concents of the 9th and 10th gen (not sure about Sakura) which really felt like she was still watching over them for afar. She also appeared on the 12th gen's first dokkiri. The only OG who seems more invested is Yuuko. They also MC'd the last Countdown live (which was awesome, by the way), and their interaction with the current H!P members was so much fun to watch. During her leadership of Morning Musume, Yossy always seemed like the 'chill older sister' and it seems like she never completely quit the part. Sayu also mentioned exchanging mails with the former leaders discussing MoMusu's future, but for some reason I've rarely seen Aichan or Gaki-san around much since they graduated, while they are a bit more connected to the group in it's current form. Of course they could just be busy (and to be frank, I haven't followed them much), but aside from Yossy and Yuuko, I never really hear about other OG's talking about MoMusu unless it's about their own tenure.
Tl;dr version: I'm just really glad Yossy's still concerned with MoMusu today, and isn't just trying to bank on the group's past. God I love this group and it's OG/present member dynamics
