emcee

Come Together concert MC.

Rika/Konno:
First, Rika told the crowd the MC would be all about Konno, because Konno never talked much in past concerts. Changing quickly into a very serious tone, Rika then asked Konno if it was ok to pop a question. And just as the crowd was wondering why Rika had gone serious, Rika asked 'can you tell me how campus life is like?' The bathos caused the crowd to laugh. Rika explained she is curious as she has never been to one. Konno said her university has a nice learning atmosphere. However, the talk invariably changed to food - the one thing Konno only talked about. Both topics ended quickly. But we expect to hear more about Konno since Rika had said it was Konno's MC, right?

Wrong! Because that could never happen with Rika around. So, before the crowd knew when or how it happened, Rika was already on her way to talking about herself. She talked about her recent trip to Hawaii and her first time on a helicopter - one that she got to pilot. Then she went on and on and on, telling the crowd how afraid she was before she got on the helicopter as she was supposed to read and remember everything in a manual given to her earlier. According to her, the studying was as difficult since she hasn't been reading after she left school years ago. But to her surprise, her flying instructor actually told her, after the flying experience, that she was one of the best ten students he ever had; that she owns the 'touch' to fly. Rika felt over the moon about the compliment. She recalled that at one time, the instructor was so confident with her flying that he took his hand off the stick, but it made her more nervous and she stopped talking. As there were three cameras filming her, the cameraman eventually told her 'hey, you have to talk'.

Yossi/Mai:
Mai was talking about her blog when Yossi interrupted and said she was checking Mai's blog one day when she came across a title 'marriage'. Reading further, she realised Mai and Ayaka had gone out dining without her. When Yossi looked pretty upset after she had said it, Mai stepped back upon Yossi's questioning gaze and said something like 'I know that will come from you'. Mai recriminated that they had done that to her before, recounting how there was a time when Yossi, Rika and her were dining together and Rika and Yossi both received an email. She thought nothing of it until she found that it was Ayaka who had texted them, which made her very angry because she realised Ayaka had bothered to text their group's new member, Rika, but not her. She recalled, too, another time when Ayaka, Yossi and Rika had gone out without her. She felt so left out. So she now called it quits. Yossi seemed to accept the explanation and shrugged it off saying 'that happens...'. Next, Yossi talked about her first surfing experience and quoting what Rika had said about having a 'touch', she said that she, too, has that touch since she managed to 'succeed' during her first attempt. (She meant being able to stand on the board.)
