My god, those captions in Ogata Risa graver shots at the top of the page ...

Any chance you might translate them for those of us that can't read them?

[downfrontguy]

Just the same old idol phrase stuff they make girls to say, nothing special. For as long as I could remember. Stuff like "今日の夕飯は......ヒミツ" or "ずっと待ってたよ."

The stuff you used to hear from H!P stations and co. (i.e. 3-5 seconds inserts). I'm sure you know what those are. I suppose the theme is that Ogata here is supposed to be a housewife or something with those tacky captions. Or very homie girlfriend
(Obviously "tacky" part is strictly a personal opinion, ahem).

[Sohee]

Stuff like "今日の夕飯は......ヒミツ" or "ずっと待ってたよ."

For those who can’t read Japanese, the first one is: “The dinner today is... a secret.” And the second “I waited forever/all this time (for you).”

Now that Sato (Masaki) appeared on Youngtown (ＭＢＳヤングタウン土曜日) after almost 7 years, it reminds of some long-term girls never appearing on it despite of it being basically a H!P/Up Front vehicle for well over a decade. Pretty much all H!P girls appeared at one point or another. Maybe Ogawa (ex-Smileage), Sugaya (ex-Berryz), Suzuki & Hagiwara (ex-C-ute). That's more or less it, really, for any girl who had been in H!P for 3+ years, going all the way back to Elder Club era.

Sugaya and Hagiwara will never appear now, but Suzuki still has a chance to do so as she is still under UF.

Not sure why Sugaya was never close to appear on it since she was the only Berryz member to never appear even after 10+ years in H!P, but Suzuki/Hagiwara were actually almost appeared on it. They were scheduled to appear but got canceled due to 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, if I recall correctly. Never got rescheduled and that was that.

[Sohee]

Risako could still appear if she decides to make a full comeback one day, considiering she’s still under UF.

[downfrontguy]

That's true, technically. But the chance of that is basically zero IMO. Some things are just so unlikely that it has to be assumed when you have enough circumstantial evidence to back that up (will keep that to self though, no need to expand on this sort of trivial stuff ).
Which is why I grouped her with Hagiwara but still, nobody knows for sure (even Sugaya herself, probably, what the future holds), and yes she is indeed still under contract (like Mitsui), so yes, correct you are.
