Something interesting is happening in Jap forum now. Perhaps urged on by the success of overseas fans getting close to the girls @SakuraCon, Japanese 1444 wotas are contemplating getting a gift for them too. The plan is to give them a towel set (similar to the very ex bathrobe Yossi bought during her trip with Yuuko to Hawaii) during their play (Tokyo Alice). To make the gift special, it would be embroidered with wordings. The words decided are 'TokyoAlice RikaIshikawa' & 'TokyoAlice HitomiYoshizawa'. So serious they were about the whole idea that someone even called to find out the cost and time required to do the embroidery, and getting the towel sets. They wanted badly to show their support to the girls, but that was also when they started debating, because some people wanted '14' & '44' or 'いしよし' to appear alongside the girls' names. Others thought that was downright inappropriate as it might cause great embarrassment to the girls, which is my sentiments exactly. Can you imagine the girls being called 1444 in their face? Actually, I was more shocked, because Japanese people are the last on my mind that I would think of to do such imprudent & senseless things.
Edit:
The finalized wordings:
TokyoAlice Rika Ishikawa ♥ 2009
TokyoAlice Hitomi Yoshizawa ★ 2009
Majority are against having the words '14' '44' or 'いしよし' (phew~) while some are concerned if Makoto will feel left out (now this is what I call Japanese sensitivity).
However, this project won't be any secret to the girls since Yossi is internet savvy. >_<
