Ah ~ Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone!
Finally, somebody to 'listen' as I rant about my fears and anxieties on Ishiyoshi...
And of course, about the joy they bring.
Ah, sorry about this. I'm not really sure how this "qoute" function thingy fully works yet. I'll get around to it later..
So, here goes:
This quote is from tru_harmony:
personally the tomboy look wasn't just from the hair... looking back at the pic in question, the jeans and the belt were what told me 'mannish'... and then, adding up the liking for sports (so much liking that it made it into the hello dvd mag)... and the contrast with yossui since forever... there... again, crazy_tru talking again...
I see now... you're right. Her torso there looks longish because of the lowrise jeans and big belt. It IS worn like a man would.. Hmm. Not really her usual style, huh? But I must say.. I think its HOT!!
mwahaha
Though I'm still not sure if I want to see her standing next to Yossie in that outfit.
But then again..
ARGH! I cant decide!
You know, looking back. Rika has always had a bit of a crossdresser in her, right? I mean, didn't she wish for a guy's role in her H!M graduation special? And she kept harping on on how Kakoii Yossie, Nacchi, and Maki were during the Mr. Moonlight rehearsals and shoot... (I'm basing this on the 'Hitomi Yoshizawa : The Way to The Center Position' vid and Rika's Graduation Memorial vid..)
Still from tru_harmony:
good observation... but also remember that during her EARLY H!M days they were new to the industry and all its rituals so that can also be a factor for the rigidity... but at the same time, i have to agree that the tomboy-aura does flow more naturally for me... i think i would've been okay for the seemingly sudden image change if it didn't feel so forced on my part as a voyeur i remember the ~sexy boy~ days and the womanly look was sooooo her... i really don't know anything...
Hmm. Good counter.. Yeah, you're right. But -- You know, when I watched their audition videos, I kept noticing how Yossie seemed different from the other girls during their voice and dance lessons. She was reserved but not too much. She had a 'cool' aura around her. She dressed differently, too.. Not girly but not totally boyish either. Again, 'cool' comes to mind... AND she hunched her shoulders a bit... From a girl's point of view (nevermind that my sexuality is questionable
), she's REALLY ATTRACTIVE.
(and not just the 'oh, ain't she cute' type.) And this was the pre-Momusu period.
And didn't she admit that she used to receive chocolates from other girls on Valentine's Day during middle school? Although she didn't state whether it happened before or after joining Momusu, it was clearly before The Peace and Mr. Moonlight since she just graduated middle school when Baby! Koi ni Knockout came out. This means that girls have been attracted to Yossie even before she became Mr. Moonlight... and take note, girly girls don't 'fall' for other girly girls in middle school. They pick the boyish and kakoii... So Yossie has had that tomboy streak from the start...
On her 'image change', maybe it's just a precautionary measure? She's not in Momusu anymore or H!P as a matter of fact... She's practically flying solo now (except in H&A but their performances kinda seem few and far between
). She probably knows that her career won't last very long if she sticks to her tomboy persona. I mean, she needs a bigger fanbase to stay afloat. The fangirls can only do so much... (though i love them and are grateful for their support for Yossie) Maybe she's courting the fanboys? It's a good move career-wise fro her, I think.
Still from tru_harmony (gotta get the hang of this quote function thingy. I'm feeling really stupid by the minute.
):
i don't think so... if it were that way, we'd all be jerks cuz there's always that something that we want to keep constant but we all know that things will change...
and also, don't feel guilty about them not having a life because of us... they chose this path and i think they're enjoying themselves... we feel upset and we have opinions about everything we see... and i think we're entitled to some opinion because we REALLY don't know... we try to get a vibe but we can only approximate our own feelings on gestures and whatnot...
people who KNOW won't have so many opinions on things... there's no room for speculation from them
Ah, this makes me feel better a bit. I frequently get these moments of doubt just like wings4dreams does... This reassures me a bit, tru_harmony
(wait, can I call you 'tru?)
I get bothered by the fact that thinking of them being involved with another person depresses the heck out of me... And there's this vid of stalker pics on Momusu around the golden era on Youtube, right? Well, I was really happy to watch the vid (and grateful to the stalker).. but then people on the comments portion kept bashing the stalker, saying its disgusting and creepy!!
That really got me.... I'm a freak!!

WELCOME candy_boy!!
And hey, don't forget to post your profiles in the stickys here and EVERYWHERE. We wanna get to know YOU!
Ishiyoshi fans are something else! We just started this thread as a "hehe, lesbian action!" and BOOM. Loving it
Kyaaa! Thank you.
being an ishiyoshi fan feels like treasure hunting, right? It's really exciting. It's thrilling to follow bits and pieces for clues... And you're not quite sure if there really is a treasure at the end of it... But getting there is fun, right? Though fits of paranoia can interfere... Being an ishiyoshi fangirl has its rewards.. (e.g. when they look at each other.. Nyaaa!
)
ah, hi Yankii Heart. thanks.
Ah~ way too long, huh? This is embarrassing.
I'm such a fangirl... please forgive me.
