^ lol its because of her bean shaped head (mame means bean) so the older members gave her that nickname... i think she was "Mame" before she was "Gaki"

hiyokokun · « **Reply #1341 on:** August 15, 2009, 02:18:17 AM »

Thanks for the information, so it's Mame at first then Gaki.
Now after you mention it, i feel like her head is almost like a bean indeed

What about Mayuge Beam ?? what is Mayuge ??

takagakifan · « **Reply #1342 on:** August 15, 2009, 04:29:42 AM »

^mayuge beam is a play on Yaguchi Mari's sexy beam except... well when Gaki first debuted she didn't have bangs and her eyebrows were pretty prominent.... mayuge means eyebrow... when she does it see starts from her eyebrow area

... i love how i learned new words just by watching MM

My Risa story: When I was still new to MM, I saw an OPV of "Go Girl" for Risa and that started it for me. I didn't like the pigtails much but I always thought she was really cute. After I stopped liking MM and then started to collect pictures for my drawings for AX, I couldn't believe how pretty she had become (Same goes for all the girls, but Risa the most).

My favourite thing about Risa:
Her lips and smile.

A memorable performance:
AX show.

A moment that made me laugh:
I don't remember much except the Mechaike shows with the exam and the physical test.

A moment that surprised me:
Seeing her after about two years.

A picture that I like:
I agree with Stryfe on the messy hair and braids. This is one of my current favorites...

A video that I like:
I can't find it, but I remember some video with Rika and Ai where the three of them did a "Fashion Check" thing.

My curiousity about Mame and Mayuge is cured.
Thanks once again, Mayuge = Eyebrow. I'll try to remember that.
MAYUGE BEAMM!!!!

My Risa story:

Resonant Blue PV brought back my love for MM but it was Ai who caught my eye, then Eri became one of my favorites. Those two are closer to her, and that’s when I started to like her.

Quote

One of the reasons why I felt it was so important to support Risa was her history as one of the most hated Momusu members in the past. This has been mentioned so many times, but back when 5th gen joined, she was so hated that people would burn her pictures at concert grounds...

With this, my respect for her grows even more now. I never thought they can be that harsh, that was tough and she was just a kid back then.

My favourite thing about Risa:

The reactions and her love for Kamei Eri

A memorable performance:

These 3 are in my on repeat videos
(1) Never Forget – very soothing, makes me relax every time
(2) How Do You Like This Japan [PD9 Concert] – her energy level’s high
(3) Takagaki Love – I love TakaGaki so yeah

TakaGaki Love

A moment that made me laugh:

The promotion (Dohhh! UP) for her Alo-Hello with Kamei Eri

A moment that surprised me:

Been watching Resonant Blue Concert DVD many times and when I watched the PD9 Concert DVD, the first thing that I noticed was her being skinny.

Risa's little victory dance was so awesome there!

I dare you to look at this GIF for more than 10 seconds and not mimic what Risa's doing.

hiyokokun · « **Reply #1348 on:** August 19, 2009, 04:01:09 PM »

Darn, the moment i saw her face, i naturally already mimic her face.
I think it because you said "not mimic" with a bold font

THUNDERDUCK · « **Reply #1349 on:** August 19, 2009, 05:28:26 PM »

All of you who know me, know I used to not like her. But she has definitely like a fine wine, gotten better with age. I guess with so many of the original members leaving, her and Takahashi are the reasons I'm still hanging on to MM. The GakiKame miracle throws also made her more likeable. I agree that her acoustic performance of Koe is a plus, too. And in terms of her attractiveness, Amanatsu was the PB that made her more desirable in my opinion. I think it's time for another PB.

I know, I know... I'm late, but! That doesn't mean I can't fill this out!!! I'm sorry shishi for being late.

My Risa story:
Mmmm, I first saw Risa on tv back in 2002, but I didn't really pay too much attention to her until 2005. lol She was always in the background and I've always known her to be the one that LOVES Morning Musume. I say she rose up the ranks after watching Cinderella the Musical live. Hehe.

My favourite thing about Risa:
She's down to earth and very responsible. She also takes good care of her kohais. I also like her singing voice. It's not so high pitch like most other idol singers. It's very mellow, but smooth.

A memorable performance:
Cinderella the Musical and her solo performance of Furusato and Yowamushi.

A moment that made me laugh:
Music Fighter and her two towers!

Love that episode.

A moment that surprised me:
Mmm... when she cut her bangs? lol

OMG

I knew that her voice was getting better and better lately, but Ayaka's songs are another level and she did an amazing job singing Mikazuki

She took Koe as her flagship song and will never let it go, right?

Fenrir · « **Reply #1359 on:** August 23, 2009, 09:54:29 PM »

I love this version of Koe

Live band makes all the difference. lol

Speaking of Koe, ripped just the song:
