Her answer pretty much mirror's what Tsunku has said--Sayumi has rhythm and pitch nailed.  She also said that any song Sayumi sings becomes her own.

I took me a while to realize that the J=J group shot is spelling Juice.
 

[arcobaleno]

Yeah, that's pretty awesome. Who knew they were so bendy? lol

[Anderei]

I feel like half of that Musume heart could be better.

[YuuakuRisa]

J=J picture makes my back hurt...


C-ute and Momusu are my faves.

Yeah, Eripon's half-assing it a little.

 
I like how they're wearing their member colors, but little things like that always make me happy.

[AurA]

what's a Maruwakari Book?  this is the first I've heard of it.  But the year being added implies that this is some kind of annual thing?

On closer inspection Duu is messing up the most

"Mizuki
Best Singer: Sayumi"
 
 
What the shit !?
 
Some of those "best body" choices are also really bizarre.

[MiniLovely]

This is a really excellent way to start shit between the girls, honestly.

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Afternoon Mimolette" data-cid="159691" data-time="1375735820">This is a really excellent way to start shit between the girls, honestly.</blockquote>Which is what many people are saying was missing from the group dynamics for the last 7 or so generations.

Captain and Nakajima are mentioned a lot too. Riho is definitely mentioned the most, though.

Poor Ayumi! At least she has Haruka. And, um, herself.
