Sekai Volley 2008-06-08

Someone prove to me that there aren't something going on~



Throbbing veins

Finally got to watch Ongaku Gatas Goodsal concert.
And the thing that shocked me most is this...
Gosh... how thin can she get?
All right...
To just be concentrating on the jutting vein is doing a great injustice to this otherwise invigorating concert. And watching my fav. pair on stage MCing, I cannot but think they make a perfect pair. Their chemistry is so obvious. So, I'm going to use the phrase from utadoki vol.12 to describe them: they are sooooo my '息ピッタリ石川、吉澤コンビ'

Gatten Gatas 2008-05-26

I was listening to the show with great anticipation, expecting to hear Rika's voice soon when I heard EGGs' voices instead. So, you could picture my disappointment. Anyway, I left the clip playing, which I didn't know why - normally I would have switched off the damn thing right away - and walked into my kitchen to prepare breakfast, then...

I heard Maichin say that although a particular question had been asked many times before in the show, she still wanted to know who Koretty and Sengoku would choose from Ongaku Gatas as their girlfriend. Koretty said she would choose Yossi. The funny thing is, Maichin quickly rebutted Koretty because the latter was supposed to choose a girlfriend not a boyfriend. I almost fell off my chair. Times like these makes me like Maichin. She is always letting slip little details. When Mai said 'onna not otoko' to Koretty, I wondered isn't Yossi a woman? In the end, Koretty chose Rika because she thinks Rika is really feminine, a trait she herself is missing...

Ok! See the subliminal link there? Because Koretty's choices seem to say that Yossi is the epitome of a kakkoii boyfriend while Rika an onnarashii girlfriend.

When it's Maichin's turn, she said she couldn't choose since she knew them too well and therefore, the surprise element required in dating was lacking. But after awhile she said she might choose Rika since the latter is now learning to cook. She would choose Yossi as her boyfriend though, but since Yossi is so 'sought-after' she might have problems worrying about Yossi being uwaki (frickle-minded) or other girls snatching 'him' away.

Anyway, I'm glad that I have listened to this week's episode. =)
And I sincerely hope that Maichin will slip up and disclose more scoop.
Being so close to Yossi, perhaps she knows something others don't.




boops... Oops...

I have a confession to make after watching this episode of Waon...
.
I think Yossi was not wearing any ???...
I can't take my eyes off her for the whole show...
Because I don't think she was ever that big @_@

A picture is worth a thousand words

One looks apprehensive while the other anticipative.
Don't they just look cute together? ^^

Gatas 2008-05-19

Not much ishiyoshi interaction in this episode. Expected, isn't it? Yossi's name was mentioned once, in the beginning, when Mai and Rika were choosing a fruit to represent the other party. Mai said Rika was like ichigo (strawberry) and Rika said Mai was like orange - fresh and juicy. Mai then said Yossi would be melon (because she's sweet?) and Ayaka so coconut. (笑)

A listener asked who was the most 'careless' member in Gatas. It was Sawa-chan from EGGs. As for seniors, Rika thought it was Mai, though Mai refuted it readily. Mai thought it was Yossi, but Rika disagreed. Mai then said Yossi would behave so when things go wrong; Rika agreed. Being a leader and captain, there are times when Yossi needs to be calm, but she is not. Mai thought Rika was, too, but later thought Rika was more boke than occhokochoi. Finally, they decided that it was Yossi.

Mai and Rika really can talk. When I said really, I mean really. Their conversation flows as both of them have so much to say. There is never a quiet or awkward moment, and I think Mai feels less pressurized whenever she is doing a radio show with Rika; she won't feel to be the only one talking.

Why HOKURO thinks Charmy is attractive...

Hint: Look low

Bring me everywhere

What looks like a normal interview...



can actually involve Yossi too ^^

Rika said that although the eco bag is in pink, Yossi would use it too.


Well we all know that as long as it is from Rika, Yossi will use it even if it's in bright shocking pink.

There is something (30) いいよ~ いいよ~

Many years ago, in a tv show...


Yossi: Firstly, she isn't my type. She likes pink too much, and we share different values. We can never be a match.

host: so, what kind of man do you think will match Rika?

Yossi: Well, the kind that goes 'ii yo~ ii yo~ Rika-chan ii yo~'



THEN,

many years later...

only recently...

in Rika's house...

when Ayaka and Rika were preparing food...

a particular someone was saying 'ii yo~ ii yo~" while filming the whole cooking process with a digicam

Kemeko on Yossi & Rika

Kemeko: I recently drank with Yossi and Rika
Atsuko: Un~
Kemeko: Yossi... she's strong
Atsuko: That girl, she's good right?
Kemeko: She can keep on drinking...
Atsuko: Like an old uncle...
Kemeko: She drinks like a man.
Atsuko & Kemeko (together): Shochu rock~

Yossi often drinks on an empty stomach, something that Kemeko and Atsuko can't. According to Kemeko, when Rika is drunk she becomes very noisy. Atsuko couldn't imagine it. To make it more understandable, Kemeko asked Atsuko if she'd seen the cheerful Rika when she was doing her 'Happy' thinggie; so, when Rika is drunk, she just goes into that high-tension mode perpetually. Kemeko thinks Rika is really cute and funny when she does that.


Shouchuu 焼酎 is a Japanese wine. It is not sake and has a relatively high alcohol content at 25%.

IMO, Yossi is quite a strong drinker.


But then again, I hope she'll cut down on her drinking. The signs are beginning to show on her face...

Yossi & her harem

(I have a soft spot for woman wearing shirt collars like that)

Gatten Gatas 2008-05-05

Another episode with Yossi, but sadly, also another 'normal' episode. Well, it could be due to the fact that I hadn't understand most of what they were saying; they used a lot of 'slang'.

I heard 'onsen'; so maybe they talked about onsen trips. Then there was Hokkaido that Mai mentioned yummy potato soup.

There was a part where Yossi said that despite her claim to be good with tongue-twister, she never seemed to get any correct at all (LOL).

A listener asked a question about boke gatas members. Mai mentioned a few names and although I was expecting something from Yossi, deep inside I had a hunch Yossi would never talk about Rika again. Sure enough, Yossi remained quiet - all the time. She only acknowledged every name Mai had mentioned until... Mai herself couldn't stand it anymore and said out Rika's name. Then~ Yossi just let the name pass!

Yossi so ignored the name! Not because they were on bad terms, but - feels more to me - as if Yossi was trying to play down her close relationship with the said girl. It makes us wonder when we all know how Yossi loves to mention Rika-chan.

So, I shall stick to what I had said last week...

Just be prepared not to hear from Yossi about Rika anymore. ^^

I'll learn to do housework

Recently, Rika was asked this question in a tv show... I thought the answer would be 'A', since Ayaka, Yossi, Mai and even herself have been talking about it, and I'm sure, too, that many out there think the same as me.
However, the answer turned out to be 'B'.

How could it be, right? Rika often said that her family (mother?) did her washing for her. Now I wonder why the change. What makes her suddenly want to do the washing herself?

There is one possible scenario:
Maybe,
there is suddenly a big pile of clothes to wash?
ermm..
like extra clothings?
and bed sheets?
and towels?
You know, with all the partying and staying over...

Or maybe she feels it is about time to train to be a good housewife.
Now, that should also explain her sudden interest in cooking. ^^

Uber Sexy Rika

This is the only reason that makes it worthwhile to download the whole dvd mag vol 17 file, and to watch all, but otherwise, boring 50 mins of the whole thing.

When Rika is in hyper tension mode,

she's just unstoppable and incredulously drama (corny).

Her blase sashaying...

Oh~ what's in her mind when she picks up the fan (@_@)

Haha~

Guess nobody will mind having a sexy girlfriend like her ^^

1444 sightings! 2008-05-03

More sightings

Ishiyoshi sighted at yesterday MM's night concert in Tokyo.
Yaguchi and the two other v-u-den were there, too.
Their seating arrangement. Yossi⇒Rika⇒Yaguchi⇒Miyoshi⇒Yui

Shouldn't Rika be in Yaguchi's place so that v-u-den would be seated together?

Well, they are together everywhere they go now. ^^


side note: Remember the Ayaka's radio show where she disclosed that they often party at Rika's place and I said there was a part I didn't understand? Well, I do now. Ayaka said that even though Yossi had left Rika's place, she had left some of her belongings behind. Is it just a casual mention or has Ayaka understood the implications?

Although it IS common for friends to leave things behind at a friend's place.

Gatten Gatas 2008-04-28 (031)

After a hiatus of about two months, Yossi is finally back in Gatten Gatas. Yeah~ But because I haven't been listening to Gatten Gatas, without Yossi or Rika in it, I have no idea the show had been changed to 1 hour. Wow~

Unlike previous episodes with Yossi, Rika's name is only mentioned twice today. Once when they are doing a recap on their ad-lib skit in Gatas Hawaii FC tour and another, when a listener wrote back to thank Mai for her advice a few episodes before; Mai said that was the episode Rika and her had hosted.

I will say it's really funny that Yossi now seems to be keeping mum about Rika when back then, she was always 'Rika-chan' this and 'Rika-chan' that. When a listener wrote in to ask how Yossi had celebrated her birthday and what presents she had received, I thought Rika's name would be mentioned (since we all knew Yossi celebrated her birthday at Rika's place), but no, Yossi didn't; she just said she celebrated her birthday at home.

Later, another listener asked: 'If you were a guy, who in Ongaku Gatas you'll never date or have as a girlfriend?'

That question made me wonder if Yossi would say Rika because that was what we all knew she would say, right? However, Yossi took a relatively long time to consider. Mai, too. Perhaps it was hard to choose; the girls in Ongaku Gatas all looks fine to me. Mai finally broke the ice. She mentioned Sengoku, then Mucchi and then Konkon.

Since Mai had already come up with three options, it became inevitable that Yossi must, at least, mention someone. So, she asked who is the 'biggest' in Ongaku Gatas and Mai replied 'That's you, isn't it?' Yossi said she is 164 cm tall (that confirms her height at 164cm) and how Sawa-chan looks 'big' (tall) too. She then explained that 'a guy would not want a girlfriend who would make him look small'. At this time, when Mai mentioned Konkon again, because of her slow eating habits, Yossi said she wouldn't be dating Konkon then.

Shock!!

Shouldn't it be Rika since she is so mendou-kusai, something Yossi often says?

LOL

This is only a so-so episode. Although the show has extended to an hour, it doesn't mean the girls talk more since more songs are played instead. And again, it is proven that Yossi can't 'talk' much; she is not a topic setter. Despite she hasn't talked about Rika at all in this episode, I am not disappointed, but happy. Why? Because humans tend to hide the truth; they feel inscrutable. Go think about it.

1444 sightings! 2008-04-25

Sighted!

Fans sighted several H!P members attending yesterday Miki's musical (25th Apr).

Seated on the second row are Rika, Yossi, Yasuda, Takahashi and Mitsui. There was someone else who looked like Kame, but fans couldn't be sure since the girl was seated elsewhere. Miuna and Miyoshi were said to be there too. During the break, the H!P members went backstage.

Rika wore a black t-shirt with a low neck-line, hot pants and high boots.
Yossi was in shirt and pants. Her white shirt is those thin-fabric type.
Yasuda was in a similiar white shirt, but wore a skirt.

.


new addition:

a mixi user blogs about seeing Yossi & Rika at the musical.


According to another fan, Koharu, too, was there.
During a controversial scene on stage, this fan, who was paying particular attention to the HP girls, noticed Rika whispering and giggling into Yossi's ears. Takahashi and Kame were smiling and exchanging words while Mitsui and Koharu just looked expressionless. They probably had no idea what the scene implied.
