I can't be arsed to tranlsate it directly, so here's a brief summary.
She fangirls about MaiMai's loli face.
There are so many members that she likes she has no idea where to look.
Then there was a Kenshuusei that caught her eye - her constant dancing almost drove Sasshi to tears. Note that Sasshi uses Kenkyuusei instead of Kenshuusei, confusing the H!P and 48G terms for it.
Then she just spews up some comment about Uemuu, Sayashi's tummy looking oh-so cute, Airi's style being oh-so pretty, but RihoRiho's tummy gave her the stink eye XD
Then she was almost brought to tears to Sayu's choice of Egao ni Namida. Comment on RihoRiho's tummy
The medley was cool as expected. It's a performance she won't be able experience twice.

Q8. My secrets, a small one revealed
Actually, I resisted when they wanted me to dye my hair to a way lighter colour.
Initially Tsunku♂-san’s advice was that if I’m going to dye it brown,
he said「Why don’t you try making it lighter？」。It continued for three times, and it definitely made me uneasy when I was told 「Is it alright to go even lighter」 the third time。 Despite that、 I went back to a tone darker after that （lol）。
Actually、I can normally play「Natsumatsuri」 on Taiko no Tatsujin at Oni (diifculty)。At best、 I won’t even make a mistake。But I’ve never said it in front of Mizuki。 After all, taking over someone’s special skill isn’t good、but when a member announces her special skill、even though I want to say that I can do it too, I have to refrain from saying it。 I think that I want to let them show of their skill。
Q9. Please！ Fix this
Fukumura Mizuki
Ikuta Erina It’s okay to burst in noisily while we’re in the middle of a photography session、but please be more aware of it when we aren’t in a photoshoot。 Since you’ve really got some show-offy parts to you、 please respect that we’re really trying to display ourselves naturally in the middle of taking a single cut during the photoshoot。 But once the photoshoot has ended you can go back to your boisterous ways。 I guess I’ve already said what I couldn’t（lol）。
Noticed that I was at 98 posts, so thought that I might make a commemorative 100 posts post once I finished up my impressions on TGS' Partition Love.
It's kinda turned out into a retrospective of 2013, given the time of the year.
Since it's pretty rambly, I'll cut it here :)
"So, sensei, can you tell me why there needs to be a wall between us? Can't I overcome it? I don't want to be a kid"
I don't usually watch music videos, usually turning them on as background music. It's normally when the music is awesome, only then do I start watching properly.
Even worse are music videos which are part of a large movie. You end up wondering what the story is about - like did Jurina and Mayuyu get married in the end or something? That kind of thing.
Thankfully, the music was awesome - this is TGS after all - which drew me to the video.
And the story itself is mostly self-contained - well, up to the best part, where it cuts off!
Well played on their part - if anything, it makes me want to know what happens even more.
The story is that of a student - Hiichan - having a crush on her teacher.
We see her currying favour with him, trying to flirt subtly.
Then, a rival appears! In contrast to Hiichan, Aachan takes a more aggressive approach.
Hiichan finally ends up writing a letter to the teacher.
And as we get to the point where we can see the teacher's response, the video ends!
Professional conduct would most likely have him thank her with a polite refusal.
But we can see as part of the CM that Hiichan later turns up at the teacher's door in the rain. Awww, poor (wet) Hiichan.
Can I just say how adorable Hiichan is as a high schooler?
It's rare that they pull off this kind of image instead of their usual mature style.
Yet she's just so comfortable in this high schooler role.
Her acting seems pretty good as well.
The bits of English sprinkled in the video is a plus as well.
"Please remove the partition between us"
"The heart is about to burst"
"Would you look at me not as a student, but as a sweetheart?"
The second one seems a bit of a stretch for a first year senior high schooler though - everything else around it seems reasonable, then you have this figurative sentence in the middle.
All in all, I've always loved how TGS has always been consistent with the high quality of their music. And their music videos can and does blow me away at times - Kodou no Himitsu was another one where the music video was a win.
So apparently Momochi was spotted at the Kouhaku during SMAP’s performance.
The 2ch thread I found this on has already been threadlocked, and the matome sites I went through provided no further evidence. Plus, I think she would’ve been at the Countdown concert in Nakano Sun Plaza. There’s also no mention of it on her blog.
Still, it appears Momochi has learnt how to split her body into two. You’d expect nothing less from Tsugunaga-pro.
Main thing of note:
Number 1 oshimen
Tsugunaga Momoko
Lot's of Otomomochi out there XD
Classic caveat that these are a specific, very-likely biased, sample of the fans and not of the population as a whole. Still since it seems to be biased towards Berryz, carry on XD
