For Haru-chan, and also because this is quite an informative episode.
.
Question: 'Tsunku's words that had left the most impression in you.' Yossi said Tsunku had advised her not to wear platform shoes. Those shoes were the craze back then and had soles as high as 12cm which made her tower over Tsunku when they were in the recording studio. For Rika, Tsunku had told her recently that she was a good student (disciple). She mentioned she often emails Tsunku for advice, and it's her idea to turn blonde for her bunny-girl image in 'Aisu to purin'.

Second question asked them to reveal a 'secret' . Yossi said she actually likes PINK. Shokotan went 'ohh~' and was pretty surprised since she thought Yossi is a cool person. Yossi explained that although she likes black and white (which are the cool colours), when she was a kid she actually liked PINK. Now she still wears pink, like t-shirts, and her pouch is pink. Rika said although Yossi was boyish-looking when they just debuted, she was, in fact, girlish. Shokotan was impressed. When it was Rika's turn, she said she is actually a HAROPORO otaku at heart, and into 'Berryz Cute' right now. She finds the kids very 'kawaii'. She didn't forget to mention that last time the kids used to be 'in awe' of her as a senpai but nowadays they, too, have started making fun of her, calling her 'kimoi' or 'kishoi', which she finds amusing. She is close to Chisato. Yossi then mentioned Momo-chan and Rika are of the same (onaji niou ga suru, which literally translates 'they smell the same').

I skip Konno's parts because I aren't interested in her stuffs. Anyway they also talked about some random stuffs, like...

* Tsunku does have a say in their hairstyle. He'll 'advise' if a particular style suits them.
* Tsunku choreographed the dance for 'sexy boy soyokaze ni yorisotte'. (ue~ ue~)
* Shokotan became very impressed when Yossi said she only uses normal ringing tone (no frills).
* Konno said Rika is 'KY' and definitely not 'Y'asuda 'K'ei like Yossi had said.
* Rika is into Akina Nakamori now. Before she would only listen to songs by H!P members but recently she realized Akina's songs are really good. However she couldn't remember the lyrics to her newer songs. Her current ring tone is 'Desire'. Yossi said Rika would let her phone ring when someone called so that she could hear the melody but Yossi thinks it is very rude to let the caller wait. Check video.

Although Yossi seldom talks much about other members, she seems to know alot about Rika whenever she is talking about her. Example she knows Rika is close to h!p kids. When Rika says Akina's songs are nice she agrees and says songs Akina sang in her early twenties are really good. She sings 'masaka saa~' together when Rika sings out her ring tone, implying she must have heard it many times. She keeps making fun at Rika saying the latter is similar to Yasuda Kei, maybe they shared a joke between them (remember the two of them had recently gone to Kei's place?) So much interaction from both of them. One is ultra cool, while the other is uber cute. I so love them~
