For the show with Yossy's message to Rika, Sara Sara Salad~
Translated by liLcazza and tackey over at HH~
Male host: Actually, we have a message from Yossy.
Rika: You’re kidding, right?
Male host: We have received an actual message.
Rika: Eh?
Female host: Okay!
Male host: Let us read it now. Go ahead.
Female host: I’m reading it now!
The message: Rika-chan is the oldest one in our generation and she always pulled us together. She always arrived on scene earlier than everyone else, she’d properly check the videos after recordings and she’d properly remember the new songs’ choreography at home. She’s like that but on her days off, she’d always catch a cold. So does that mean you’re worrying even then (on your days off)? You don’t really show it on TV but Rika-chan is really a hard worker. From now on, in private and at work, continue to be my good friend. I hope you wont get sick on your days off anymore. –Yoshizawa Hitomi
Female host: What a great speech!
Male host: She’s really a good friend.
Rika: We’re really good friends! That surprised me though!
Male host: Oh, really?
Rika: This is quite shocking, I’m so happy. What should I do?
Male host: Well it’s because you’ve been with each other for 10 years.
Rika: I’m happy.
Male host: That’s why you’re such good friends with Yossy.
Rika: And now we’re adults so we can go out drinking together.
Male/Female host: That’s right.
Rika: Thankyou Yossy.
Thank you
cazza for all your translations!
Translations of IshiYoshi are even better than translations for just Rika alone, you know. xD
I so loved this... watching Rika's reaction to the message from Yossie... while it was read out and after, her response to it. OH MY GAH!
Kawaiiii... all that smiling and the glint in her eyes; you could totally tell how much it meant to Rika! How much
Yossie means to her!!!
This is quite shocking, I’m so happy. What should I do?^LOL. How you would respond to a sudden date proposal from a crush or something.
My partner, Yossy is...
Doing muscle training
I smile whilst seeing the thing I must do when I think about it in my heart
That would be...
Whilst doing make-up...
My routine of...
Drinking Starbucks
The both of us are so contrasting (lol)
Well, both of us do things at our own pace
Those people coming to the event,
We're waiting~
I loved this entry!
Can totally imagine macho Yossie just training up those muscles while Rika watches on by with her Starbucks drink
Rika seems to love to point out the fact that they go drinking. Heheee...
Fun times for the both of them, I bet
Sorry, digging up past stuff again...
Sometimes I wonder we're all overanalyzing their "relationship" when they say certain things, but I'm convinced something was/is up after watching that episode of Shabekuri 007. I mean, Rika tells them that Yossy called her cute and Yossy is so unfazed by Rika telling them. DID THEY OUT EACH OTHER? It makes me wonder.
I was too.
The most SUSS thing to me, was that whilst on the topic of Rika and boyfriends,
WHY was there the need for Rika to bring up Yossie calling her cute? I didn't quite see the link... I felt like she was almost trying to divert the topic from boyfriends to Yossie and her, or at least back to the fact that Yossie appeared to like girls, as they had been investigating just earlier.
Rika probably trying to say: "Yossie, time to spill!" xD or... "Yossie's actually mine, girls!" .... hohohooo...
But rather than being unfazed, I think Yossie had a blank moment.. almost like... DID RIKA JUST TELL THEM... ??!!
I don't know, that's how I interpreted the initial lack of reaction from her... that might be just me though
This episode of Shabekuri was amazing. The entertainment value and the IshiYoshi value.
Did you also notice how while they were discussing the 'monster' children (Tsuji and Kago), Rika and Yossie had these looks...
Rika looking like she wanted to hide... Yossie bringing a hand to her neck like that... xD
It just made me laugh watching it for the first time. Papa and Mama feeling responsible for the kids?
Do you remember that Utaban episode where they had to write down the names of the people they wouldn't want to work with if MM was split into 2 groups (I think this was before Sakura and Otome gumi)?
Yossy wrote down Rika's name and Rika was so heartbroken by it. Yossy's reason was that Rika was too girly and that Yossy's more suited for something in her own style (clothing- and personality-wise). If I ever had the chance to meet them, I'd actually want to show them this clip and then ask them what's changed in so many years and why they're ok with working as a duo unit in hANGRY&ANGRY.
I don't think Yossie was EVER serious about all the Rika teasing. It was exactly as it was - teasing. I think many of us also speculated that after those tabloids came out about them 'dating', they then tried to maintain a distance from each other... at least, Yossie did openly. And the teasing came as a part of the deal to reinforce the fact that Yossie couldn't like Rika. Something like that?
But I don't buy it. The main thing Yossie teased Rika about was her girliness, and how that would never work with Yossie; so during that Utaban episode (and also another time during a FUN episode, if I recall correctly) Yossie pretty much said they couldn't be together (work together) because they were
too different and had different values and such...
And then we have...
Q: You two look like you always get a long, is there any times you don't get a long and how do you get over it?
A: Rika: "Ahhhhh....." Yossi: "NEVER FIGHTS. We been together for such a long time, so we really understand each other. It's more like a family."
So notice as the years went by and they matured, they went on to talk about how they never fight and that they really understand each other. If that's the case, then their apparent differences never were a problem to begin with. Yossie was just being a meanie because she could.
I actually think that Yossie is the type who won't get into any confrontations anyway, she seems like the kind of person who would try to avoid conflict as much as possible, and never argue with anybody because it's not worth the effort. Hehe.
