Ishiyoshi netas I had come across this year. They're too short to be a standalone topic so I'll just list them out. Sources come from their concert MCs, radio shows, tv shows and from EGG's blogs. Some infos were further corroborated with fan's sightings of them in restaurants they had visited, however, you can choose not to believe it.

* Rika and Yossi had lunch in Osaka (with staffs tagging along).
* They had motsu nabe with Kemeko in Osaka.
* Rika was spotted in Yossi's gakuya (Nagoya concert).
* Rika was spotted in Yossi's gakuya (Osaka concert).
* Yossi went to watch Rika's performance (Double casting musical).
* Yossi, Rika and Maichin watched a soccer match in a hotel room.
* Rika, Yossi, Yaguchi and Yasuda went for an 8-hour drinking session.
* Rika and Yossi appeared for EGG's (concert) rehearsal to give advice. (*see below)
* On the day Ongaku Gatas filmed their PV (first single), they went out for lunch with Konno.
* Karaoke session with Maichin (the latter arriving late).
* They had okonomiyaki with Maichin in Osaka.
* They sent an picture email showing their 'dresses' to Kemeko during their CDS because they were wearing a dress Kemeko once wore for her CDS.
* They went to Kemeko house.

Also: Yossi was always around Rika during Gatas's public practice. Although they weren't always chatting, fans said Yossi would be near where Rika was. Example, during one public practice, Yossi had been sitting at a particular bench for 'eternity' until Rika appeared during the second half. Yossi then stood up and walked, almost casually, to Rika's side, but they didn't talk and Yossi just stood next to Rika (who was seated). In the famous 'ice-attack', Yossi shoved a ice packet down Rika's jersey that made Rika shriek out loud. Another time, Yossi did a monomane of a cheering squad, marching and whistling. Inspired, Rika took over the whistle and copied Yossi. (Did your head scream 'indirect kissing'!! There's more...) Remember the time when the Gatas members were official for some matches? As it was her turn after Yossi, Rika just took the whistle from Yossi and began blowing on it.

Fans also noticed that unlike what was portrayed on TV, Yossi and Miki seldom interacted during those practises. And during July's public practice - the time when the whole world already knew Miki was dating Shouji - fans said they could see the other members 'ostracizing' Miki. Even the crowd went 'shin~~~' (quiet) after Miki had made her speech. That's how bad a scandal can affect your popularity. And if you were to guess who was the most popular Gatas member, will it be Yossi or Rika or Konno? Wrong. It is Satoda~ Yeah Maichin!

* an EGG said Rika and Yossi were there to give them advice for mr.moonlight. She thought Rika-senpai had taught them alot, but when it was Yossi-senpai's turn, Yossi just told them to forget whatever Rika had said. (LOL)
