2008-01-19 Happy 23rd Birthday!

Picture seemingly taken when Rika scored her own goal.

They get all dorky when put together.

Warning.

1444 overload.

Rival?

Rika: I don't generally think much about it, but when I'm on stage I think of everybody as my rival.

Yossi: For me, that was no one. Because we're all different - in character. Ah~ I think it'll be Ayaya

-after a while-

Yossi: Actually Abe too, if we're talking about looking cute (at camera/people)

Rika: You never did that.

Yossi: I do.

Rika (laughing) : But you're never towards acting cute.

Yossi: Check this out. (After acting cute) this is my challenge to them.

Rika (laughs) : You'll anger Abe and Ayaya's fans.

Yossi: Eh~ No way, maybe I'll capture their hearts instead...

Bleeding nails

HOKURO always painting her nails red for concert really irks me.

BUT! When I see how Charmy nails are red too, it isn't a bad thing anymore. ^^

2008-01-14 Skylark group Challenge Cup.

*Gatas was there to officiate the game (as assistant referee) and also to play in 3 exhibition matches.

*One fan noticed HOKURO and Charmy must be really good friends as they were always chatting and laughing away before the exhibition match.

*Fans reported that HOKURO gave Charmy a 'yasashii' look when the latter scored an own goal in the second exhibition match. While they were lining up after the match, HOKURO even gave Charmy a pat on the back.

*During their ending speech, HOKURO apologized for any unhappiness caused in her refereeing and decisions; Charmy felt bad for her bad refereeing and also for her first own goal in her futsal career.

*(This next is up to each individual whether to believe or not.) Apparently, HOKURO and Charmy left together in a taxi after the event.

Who they spend their Christmas with?

Watch out for today's GYAO MIDTOWN 2008-01-10

BECAUSE...
Yasuda said she recently celebrated Christmas at home with~~~

*drum roll*

Yossi

&

Rika~~~ !!!

*drops dead from bliss*

***

Remember this scene from utaban?

Who says Idols can't fart?

Someone from a rival futsal group told this tabloid that while she was in a toilet (during a certain futsal competition), she heard someone farting loudly from a cubicle; to her surprise, Yossi later walked out from it.

Love precedes?

To Rika, career precedes love now.

2008-01-07 Elder's concert

7th Jan Elders concert titbit.

-- Since Aya had talked about changing hairstyle, Yossi mentioned that she, too, would want to cut her hair short, probably a crew cut. The crowd went 'EHH~' but liked the idea and shouted ok when Yossi asked the crowd if it was ok. But most OGs who were on stage protested, especially Mari. Mari said Yossi would just cut her hair herself, and if Yossi really wanted a hair-cut, she should go to a hair salon instead. Yossi added that she hadn't been visiting hair salons nowadays. During another MC, big sister Yuuko said she, too, objected to Yossi cutting her hair real short, saying they 'are' supposed to be morning MUSUME (girls)

-- During RR21, Yossi miscalculated her dance steps and went forward first. When she realized she was the only one jutting out, she quickly returned to the lineup, but others OG were already laughing. Most fans who had gone to the concert wrote about the blunder in their blogs, saying it was really funny.

Look out for Utadoki Vol.7&8 DVD.

There was a scene where Yossi and Rika did a wota dance during their rehearsals. If you watched the clip carefully, you would see Rika as the one who started the dance and ever fast Yossi quickly followed so.

2008-01-06 Elder's concert

The elder's concert was yesterday.

No, they didn't sit next to each other on the raised tier - Yossi was seated with Maichin and Ayaka - nevertheless, they participated enthusiastically when the other was performing; Rika in Jaja Uma Paradise and Yossi in Pucchimoni's WOW X3

Maichin VS Rika

Funny girl Maichin wrote this. She calls Konno the Real Angel~ and purposely says someone else is fake

Is it just me or there are too many Satoda-Ishi interaction recently?

1444 in 2005

You've seen the picture often, now this is where the cap came from.

2007-12-30 ☆「何日君再来」忘年会☆

Yossi's co-star in a musical posted an entry in her blog but wotas quickly flooded her blog with comments over this picture.

Sharped-eyed wotas noticed the ash tray on the table and speculated that Yossi is a smoker, and they chided the blog owner for being insensitive for she is actually jeopardizing Yossi's image by posting the picture. Although the entry was quickly deleted away, the harm is done as the picture has become widely circulated.

音リコ 2007-12-28

音リコ 2007.12.28 (O.A)

Any idea why Rika slapped the guy when he asked if the girls would still go to 岩盤浴　(stone sauna), and why Erika was shaking her hand, like telling 'please don't bring this up'?

.

Hint keyword: FRIDAY; stone sauna; scandal.

anyway, nice shot~

my thoughts... It seemed they'd gotten close again since end 2006

So very free again, I dug out Hello! Project Bunkasai 2006 DVD to watch them again. It was a boring DVD, and most of the times, I had no idea what the show was about. So I skip, skip and skip and 'aha~' - backstage shots.

There was a scene where Yossi was talking to Miki on the walkie talkie. I am sure some would have gone crazy with this hitomiki scene, but not me~ buu buu~ >_<



Yossi: @#%^%&*(&(*^%$$&# (*over*)
Miki: (*)(&*(^%*$^ (*over*)

(Miki hands walkie talkie to Tsuji)

anonymous voice from the other end: Mikitty? (*over*)
Tsuji : Ishikawa ?? (*over*)

(pause)

Ishikawa: *&^%(*&^ ecomoni %&% (*over*)

Then Tsuji puts away the walkie talkie.



And I go ~EH!!!!
Why hadn't I noticed this when I had first watched it?
Now, This is not about Yossi talking to Miki, but why Yossi was not with the rest of the members? and ...

Where had she gone to for company?

hahaha~

my thoughts...

Spending my Christmas at home with lots of time to kill, I took out some DVDs and watched them - Morning Musume in Hawaii Alohello 2 and Gatas Tour in Hawaii. After watching Alohello2 and skipping all parts except Yossi's, I begin to wonder... Will Yossi treat Rika in the same the way she has treated Risa?

Then I imagined myself as a tourist in the temple area who just happened to see two very pretty Japanese girls; one who is boyish in both in her mannerism and gait and the other who is girlish, struggling with her big bag and always rushing to catch up with her pal; or when Yossi was scolding Risa 'baka' as the latter had led them, still wearing shoes, into sacred grounds, I would think they are a couple, and Yossi has a big 'ego.

Now, would Yossi do that to Rika? I can't imagine it because it is so not going to happen. On the contrary, Yossi will be the one help carrying the big bag and with no doubt too, taking photos of Rika. They will hire the taxi, not because Yossi would be lazy of walking but because Rika probably would. Instead of Yossi, Rika would be the one dozing off most of the times...

Skylark Group Challenge 2007-12-23 (02)

More related reports on Skylark Challenge Cup

* When fans saw Yossi alighting from a black taxi that had driven into the ground, they shouted her name. The shouts drew some Gatas members out of the container they were resting in. The one who wrote this report said he/she saw Rika looking earnestly in the direction of the carpark.

* Gatas paired themselves up after their warm-up; Maichin with Miki, Korenaga with ?? (Number 25) and Yossi with Rika.

* (Not very sure) 自分の相棒の動きをマネしながら走る、という動きで石川にマネさせる吉澤の動きが「ピース」みたいで。 ていうか石川に対して「どう？マネする？」みたいな男子的表情の吉澤。 人工芝のせいか、本気でダッシュはしないから余計に楽しそうな感じがする。 逆に石川の動きを吉澤が真似するときの石川の動きはすごくフツーで、ヲタからブーイング。

Lantern Festival

Yossi & Rika's lantern for this year 'Candle Festival' in Japan.

Skylark Group Challenge 2007-12-23

Gatas played in Skylark group Challenge Cup yesterday. In the opening ceremony, sub-leader Fujimoto Miki had announced captain Yoshizawa and Shibata Ayumi would not be attending. With no reasons given, fans speculated that Yossi had overslept, probably because of her Christmas dinner show with Sharan Q the night before; the guesses were refuted since Rika had turned up. However, when Yossi then appeared at lunch-time fans were convinced she had overslept. Gatas lost one but won two matches. Ironically, they had lost the match which Yossi was fielded.

CDS 無事に終わりました～

Yossi & Rika's CDS with Sharan Q just ended.
As expected, there is no ishiyoshi lovexlove. A little surprise though that Abe is the secret special guest, but not everyone is happy; especially fans who bought tickets just to see ishiyoshi. The reason is simple because Abe's sudden inclusion takes away Yossi & Rika solo time.
There will be another show on the 23rd. Any guesses for whom will be the special guest?

My dear~ it's alright.

My favourite Ishiyoshi vid.

The hug from behind spoke volumes. ^^

Yossi & Rika's CDS with Sharan Q is on tonight. I am looking forward to it, though the pair is always all prim and proper when put officially together. So don't expect much.
