There is something (26)

The clip of them massaging each other's hands was shown on national tv on 2003-06-29- 27hr charity show, and quickly caused an uproar among Japanese fans. Since the show was shown 'live' making editing impossible, fans were treated to this delectable sight. There is another longer version that zooms in showing Yossi and Rika looking rather awkward and Yossi was seen wiping her palm against her thighs.

In the same year when they were on another show - 24hr tv, a wota made this report:

1. They drank from the same bottle.

2. Yossi sat on the last seat on the left while Rika stood beside her. Yossi then tapped on her thigh to have Rika sit on it. They looked happy. Later, Rika carried a chair to sit beside Yossi. I couldn't see clearly from where I was but I think Yossi had her hand around Rika from behind the chair.

3. They are often around each other, chatting and smiling.

4. Even when Yossi was at the rightmost corner of the first row and Rika at the leftmost corner of the second row, they were still conversing.

5. Yossi kept looking at Rika during their last song.

And finally, the wota's thoughts:

最後に私の感想。テレビではあまり見られない、いしよしがこの番組では、びっくりするぐらいたくさん見られた。いしよしは、幸せそうだった。
