I was shocked when I first heard Rika had blonde hair and I wanted to see it to see what exactly it looked like. Now that I see it I'm not sure what to think. I totally imagined her having a darker blonde than what she has. I don't think this particular color suits her, maybe if it was longer and blonde I might think it looks better. And I'm a big fan of Asians dying their hair blonde, in that if they're blonde, they're a favorite of mine. But this... I'm not too sure on.
Looking at the futsal pictures, all I could think of was "She looks like Yuko." In the H!M ones I just think "She looks like Makoto." I guess I'll need to get used to it for however long she does decide to keep it.
