How Mai-chin gets ishiyoshi'ed

What is Ishiyoshi?

When, with just one seemingly innocuous remark, one knows right away what the other is 'scheming' and plays along.


Their target?

Dachou-san Mai-chin >_<


Modus operandi?

Rika (to Koretty): "You're kidding" (and then innocently at Yossi): "I want to do it."
Yossi: Yeah, everyone wants to try right? So how, how how?
Mai: Ja, I also want to do it.
The other three: Our pleasure~
Mai: Was I had?

Of course she was.


And the result?



A maimed Dralion on national television.

Ishiyoshi in Elder's Thank you for you LOVE!

R: Embarrassing~ this is so embarrassing.
Y: Ishikawa Rika-san, come over here please
R: Embarrassing~

bla~ bla~

R: People who know me know that I'm very in love with myself.
Y: Yes, I know that.
R: And when I am free, I will watch vids of myself.
Y: I know that (too).
R: But, where had those (vids) come from?
Y: That's why those are called 'precious' shots.
R: So, what you think?
Y: You looked CUTE... But you look like an obachan now.
R: Why?
Y: You know, actions like these...

bla bla bla~

Actually, you just need to know what had been said in bold, and how Yossi was laughing so very happily when watching the vids on the big screen. >_<

Haro Party 2 @Zepp Tok_yo

Today, H!P elder girls had their last Haroten event.

And it seemed the girls had a good time.

- Rika hid behind Yossi after she had made a bad joke on Yuuko about her age. Yossi stepped forward as if to protect Rika, but instead she told the angry woman to go ahead and carry out the punishment.

- Kemeko told the fans how she had a difficult time, back in Pucchimoni days, trying to get Yossi to open up. Once, when she suggested they go together for 'shabushabu', Yossi had turned to Gotchin (they were closer back then). When Gotchin said she couldn't go, Yossi then said she had something on too.
Yossi: ????(see note: ***)
Yaguchi (to Kemeko): "I thought you and Rika often go for shabushabu nowadays?"
Kemeko: "Yeah, because Rika-chan's ok with it*** So Yossi, you should join us too."
Yossi "All right, let's go later."

- Yossi: "Recently, Rika-san runs out of breath easily"
Rika: "It actually started two years ago"
Yossi: "Before, she wouldn't leave play even when it's time to switch player, but nowadays she just walks out as and when she likes it."
Yaguchi: "How much longer before you get side-lined (permanently)?"
Rika: "Another year?"

-Tsuji: "There was a period back in Minimoni days when I had found it tough."
Yossi: "I understand that feeling. It's was really tough for me too when I was doing 'Shiawase
desuka' "(The crowd laughed themselves silly.)
Yossi: "Sorry, the bentou was really yummy back then."


*** Yossi seemed to be complaining about a particular dish in shabushabu she doesn't like, which explained why she didn't go.

They are Beyonce that

Rika likes Beyonce!
No wonder~
Now it makes all the sense when I recall that neta about Yossi and Beyonce.

???

They need stimulation in same areas?
I mean those tsubo thinggie. ^^

When you think it's only Yossi with Koretty, Rika still pops up nonetheless..

Strong contender type? No, I'm those that'd run away... did you just confuse me with Rika-chan?

... ... AYAKA!

I keep thinking you wanted to say a word that begins with 'い' before you said 'Ayaka'。

(more obvious if sound was switched off)

Bento sharing~

Wonders if Yossi's hand was there all the time... ^^

喧嘩？

from H&A's oricon blog

Do you girls ever quarrel?

Yossi: Never
Rika: No.

Gatten Gatas 2008-11-03

Listener's corner
Someone noticed Yossi was kind of smirking while playing with handcuffs in the making of PV and asked if Yossi had any SM (sado-masochism) tendency, like being M (receiving)? Yossi said she's both S and M, but quickly explained 'doesn't all people have a little SM in them?' Mai asked what about Rika (note: it's funny how quickly Mai changed the subject to Rika when Yossi was still talking about herself.) Yossi thinks Rika is, surprisingly, a 'S' but can be a 'M' too... Mai asked what about her? 'M'? To which Yossi says Mai is 'S' but thinks Mai totally owns both since her name is S.M (Satoda Mai) ^^. Mai thinks Yossi is 'S', Konno is definitely 'M', Aya is 'S' while Miki is 'M'. Koretty is harder to define, she can be 'S' or 'M' or 'K'. "or 'R' or 'V' or 'W'" Yossi said. And finally, Mai thinks all Eggs are 'M'.

Yossi's corner (things Yossi ever said, or will say)
When you have a squabble with Rika, would you sometimes tell her to settle it over fists? Yes? No?

Mai: So which type are you? Brain or brawn?
Yossi says people, who are always full of 'theories', irk her, like the way they would ask leading questions. (Mai totally agrees here.) Yossi says she's the believing type, taking it to mean 'good' when people say it's 'good' and bad when people say it's 'bad' (eg: those blood-type books), so if things get 'messy', she will settle it over fist. So the answer is 'Yes'.



(strictly my thoughts...) Yossi gives me a feeling that when she says she dislikes people who ask leading questions, she could be hinting at the listener who sends in the neta. By answering 'Yes'. It indirectly says she and Rika do quarrel, or that they are friendly enough to be in a situation that can lead to conflicts, even though she is just reading the question as it is (which explains why she said she's the believing type-believing what things look on the surface).
Maybe she has noticed listeners sending in more questions regarding her and Rika recently, that is something I have noticed too.
There is another one about Rika and 'Richard Hall' which I don't get it, so I'm skipping it (unless some kind soul wanna help ^^).

Squeeze Me!

most uploaded pic of the day


Haven't I told you that Rika's hands are small?
unless you think someone's too big for her ^^

It's time they change the lyrics to
squeeze me~ squeeze me~

Gatten Gatas 2008-10-27

Katte ni melody:
A neta was sent in about Rika while she's sleeping. Yossi then said: For me to write something about that, I'll say "Rika's sleeping face can't make it" or "Rika's sleeping face is a shock!" and she'll probably agree with it.

Listener's corner:
Someone wrote in asking about a scene in 'Come Together' PV where Rika puts on a ribbon and the other three are kind of smirking. He/she wants to know what exactly is Yossi thinking at that moment (that kinda explains the smirk)?

Yossi said: Because when I saw the ribbon on the set, I was thinking "someone's gonna wrap it around her" and she sure did.
Mai: Is there such a scene? I don't really remember it. ^^

Gatten Gatas 2008-09-29

According to Rika, the fake kissing scene was purely out of good fun and meant for photo shots only, therefore, she was quite shocked when it ended up in the PV too. When one listener asked who came up with the idea, she said that they just do it for fun. Maichin said if it were her and somebody else doing the kissing, she doubted the 'effect' would be that 'good'. Rika agreed, saying that it might be because Yossi looks boyish and Maichin said '(you two) look like a couple.' If you hear the clip, you can probably hear from Mai's tone that she was making fun of them.

When Rika somehow ended up with all the netas involving Yossi in 'Katte ni Melody', Maichin said Rika was 'in-charge' of Yossi today.

And I think I heard Maichin mention 'Ishiyoshi' ...

A tongue-in-cheek performance?

Was that what she's trying to tell us?

Repercussion

Looks like there's a big screen showing the PV at yesterday's Gatas event.
No wonder there are reports that Yossi was looking shy and fidgeting.
BTW, GJ to the person, who captured this, when we know how fast this scene just fleet past.

Notice how they are always together, at a cosy corner, away from activities.

Come together~

Screen caps from Come Together PV

Mitsubishi Summer Festival '息ピッタリの二人'.

Someone (kamisama~) had uploaded Ishiyoshi's 'The Peace'.

When Rika's doing her line, Yossi did go around her but only walked around, no disturbing (unlike some fans reports said), which was kind of disappointing because I thought she was poking at Rika or something like that. As both of them continued with the song, they were doing their own stuff, singing and waving at the crowd...

道行く人が　親切だった (michiyuku hito ga shinsetsu datta) (lyrics from the song)
うれしい出来事が (ureshii dekikoto ga)
増えました (fuemashita~)

But when they reached the line 愛しい人が~ (itoshii hito ga~) (to the person you love)

They turned to look at each other.


And I dropped dead. _O/\__
It's so sudden. They just turned to look at each other.

You see, they don't really look at each other when they are singing, only once or twice in the beginning of the song. But, even then, I have to say that they have shown great understanding because whenever Rika or Yossi had turned to look, somehow the other would know and look back, though for the rest of the song, they only looked at the crowd until they reached that part... hehe~

Others may argue that it's just a coincidence, but for an ishiyoshi wota, that look is just beautiful.

Rika's assist, Yossi's GOAL~

For the sake of good health, Yossi prefers electric fan over air-con... and so coincidentally, Rika, at her event on the 12th of July, also said that she would rather use an electric fan to cool herself at night because too much air-con won't do her throat much good (yeah, we mustn't forget she is a singer). Okay, so we see a little connection already. In "Katte ni Melody" segment, Yossi was surprised and yet happy to know that their fans like to tsukkomi Rika too, as quite a number of neta sent in involved Rika.

Gatten Gatas 2008-07-28

There's a Yossi's corner whereby listeners can send in replies they think Yossi will use in normal lives (in response to different situations). So, a listener thinks that if Rika told Yossi the pink shirt she just bought was cute, Yossi would simply say "On the contrary that looks gross (kishoi)."

The studio laughed and before Yossi could reply, Mai-chin added that she didn't think Yossi would even say that at all. Yossi said that was because Rika has good dress sense. Isn't it strange of Yossi to say that? When all along, the girls are always making fun of Rika, calling her and her fashion 'kishoi'. Perhaps Rika really has poor dress sense, just that someone has no the heart to call it bad. ^^

with this pic, Yossi would not think pink is gross.

Gatten Gatas 2008-08-04

Rika said she is into aromatic candles recently and had bought a whole lot back from Hawaii (Gatas Fanclub tour). Guess we all know who has gotten her into this hobby...
