Interesting. I enjoyed her first solo adventure on Oahu (esp the boat ride). I wonder if they'll up the ante and send her to a different island this time. Or a different hotel.

Yes Yes Yes YES!!!!!!

Photobook pleeeeease~ it's such a waste to do just a DVD and not a photobook!!!! although just the DVD itself will be pretty awesome.

Oh gods no why!?

There better be a photobook though. That was the only let down about the last one.

This changes everything about what I ask for Birthday/Christmas now... Now I just need cash...

2009 hasn't started yet and it already killed me (and my wallet).

Word of advice if you're watching the preview:

Don't have your laptop on at full volume. Hearing Risa say "HAI!" just brings unwanted attention

But it was worth it for Risa

I know..I just watched the clip and was glad to have headphones on when she said it..

I'm d/l'ing her first one..saw some clips on YouTube and fell in love with it

It was like she was telling me to d/l it

I wish marimari could see it, the beauty and the kindness of our Gaki-san

Cute cover, though I wish she was wearing a different outfit. First choice would be bikini (duh, she's in Hawaii

) but anything but that HAT would be fine. If she just lost that shit, I'd be ok. Don't get me wrong, she looks AMAZING but I'm really not feeling the hat.

I like the illusion that she's flicking ppl off too. I think it's kinda hot.

Here's a better quality version

Man, this was a poor excuse for an Alo-Hello. Literally, half the dvd was spent showing her traveling in a van in Japan to the airport, hanging out at the airport, talking on the plane, and riding in a car. Aside from a 10 min. segment on a boat, the rest is just her eating in a restaurant and talking in her hotel room. No commentary track either. Heck, there wasn't even enough footage to comment on.

WTF? It was like she was going somewhere else on vacation and had a one day layover in Hawaii, so they decided to tape it and make some money. IIRC, her first dvd was the lowest selling Alo/Love Hello ever, but c'mon she deserved better than this. UFA, you cheap bastards!!

I knew it was a bad sign when so much time was taken up even before she got to hawaii.

Looked like a one day stay and it ended just when it should have started to really get going. Kind of odd.

strawb3rrykream · « **Reply #17 on:** January 21, 2009, 03:24:57 AM »

Just watched it today.....

I REALLY don't want to hate on Gaki b/c I love her so much but this was a pretty weaksauce Alo Hello. It was only ONE DAY!!!!

I actually thought the stuff before she even got to Hawaii were more interesting than the rest.

The car thing was boring, though it was cute to see her so excited about the shave ice and she was adorable when she was sleeping. That and the part when she was on the boat were the only parts I truly liked. The talking at the end....

I mean, it wasn't totally crap but it was just the kind of stuff they have to talk about all the time.
Meh, I've having second thoughts about buying this....I want to so I can support Gaki and help her and stuff but at the same time, it's not cheap. Decisions, decisions. Ugh, I already feel bad for Gaki b/c this was OBVIOUSLY not her choice.

Edit: I was reading the Gaki thread at H!O and their responses are the exact opposite of the ones here.

ah..yeah I watched it last night...the things that I found interesting weren't related to the trip at all

Random highlights for me~

-Gaki using her cellphone for extra lighting in the car.....that was just weird and funny since she kept having to reach over to turn it back on
-Drinking orange juice on the plane and immediately knowing it's 100%. (Gaki points out that Ai chan only drinks 100% orange juice. On the plane Ai chan would ask if it's 100% before drinking it)
-Gaki's explanation of the Hawaii Tour 2007 story...the one where everyone complained about Gaki oversleeping. Apparently it was a real problem since she not only locked her door but she put the safety bar over it too...so her manager couldn't get in when she tried to open it with the key card and all the members had to bang on the door to wake her up

-Gaki talking about how she went on vacation during the summer and got really tanned. When she went back to work people asked her "who are you?" because she was so tanned

yeah...I noticed the parts I liked...aren't terribly interesting to most ppl...
too much talking and lack of action but sprinkled with gokkies love and more talking. The boat part was entertaining though

FF'ed thru it in like 2 minutes... I want my 2 minutes of life back!

Man, this is a no sale.
(BTW I at times also use my cellphone as a small flashlight to find its recharger in the mess of rechargers I have

)
