500th~Dedicated to Rika and the Chuuch (of course

)!!!
Contrary to what dai believes, I'm not going to write too much... I'll save my many words for larger, more significant numbers. ^__^
But yeah, for me, 500 is a lot.

Considering I used to be a bit of lurker around forums, I do think it's a real achievement for me to have posted this much. Being a part of this community has definitely opened me up and made me want to post more, share thoughts and feelings and get involved. It's such a great, positive place! ^__^ When I think of JPH!P, I get all warm and fuzzy

And it's not just about Rika or the rest of Morning Musume, it's you guys...

I'm not particularly close to anybody here, but I feel very welcomed and accepted. To all the Chuuch-goers: thanks for everything!

Much love, guys.
My 1 year with JPH!P is coming up soon too... I'm sure I'll be spending many more years here

, no matter how I change or what fandoms I go through.

And before I forget, I have to thank Rika too.

For being so hard-working, so inspirational, so awesome, such a fine young woman. Rika makes me want to be a better person, and I can't say that about many people. xD And thanks to her, I found this place. She's my
ichiban, forever!

Food makes Rika happy like Rika makes me happy! 
....
and so this was what I was about to post, before I realised I ought to just tack it onto the 500th.. xD
CHUUUUUUUUCH*huggles Chuuch*I've been so wrapped in my literary pursuits, I haven't visited very regularly

I probably need to mention how much of a fanfiction fangirl I am

and because of it, I've been going high on other musume pairings... no more neglecting Rika! (But damn, I wish more OG fanfics were around! I'm being brainwashed right now!

)
Digging up past stuff, as always:::

so sexy 
As much as I like Romans Rika, I'd have to say Yattarouze!Rika is one of the sexiest Rikas ever. It's all in the attitude

I get excited whenever I see this Rika

They're out of stock

I'd really like this set... but standard shipping to Australia is a bit much, considering this is all I want to get

If these sets ever come into stock again and somebody plans to buy, please buy an extra set (of each) for me, to take advantage of the fixed shipping. And of course I'll pay you back.

GET EM BOTH!! BOTH LOOK HOT!! extreme close up:



That has to be the
COOLEST tie ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!

But they are kind of expensive and I don't ever wear them... so...

It would be awesome just to be able to have it in the room as a collectible, but maybe when I have more cash to spare...
Gosh, so many goodies to get

I thought you guys would like a link! I only have two posts up so far on Charmy Disco (though Happy Disco has ABOUT 33 posts and I'm going to make at least two more tomorrow after some sleep), but there'll be fangirling, picspams, fun stuff.

AWESOME stuff, serenyty.

Gotta check out your blogs every now and then

Your Rika love is totally admirable


Rika 
Thanks dai for all the updates >.< I don't visit any other site to get my Rika updates, to be honest. I just come to this one place! Chuuuuuuuch

It's awesome to see Rika doing so many things still, though I wish she could be a more focal point in the shows and not just a guest who says a few words every now and then...
And again, I feel the need to express my love for Rika + sports

I'd
love to play sports with her... I wonder if she likes badminton.

Here's the show!
[TV] Rika Ishikawa & OG Morning Musume - The Music Hour 「ザ・ミュージックアワー」(2010.09.14)
Special tribute show to the good times on Utaban!
GET @ Rika Multimedia
Wooooo yeah!OGs are awesome on their own, but when put together with the current line-up, I'm in heaven

I pray for many more appearances that celebrate everything they've been through. Because that's the Rika that I adore most - Musume Rika!

Those caps of IshiYoshi and IshiKamei got my heart racing for sure! Can't wait to see this episode! I just hope they don't spend too long recapping MM's history... it's been way overdone, and we need more time for talk and gossip!

That's how we find out awesome things like all that 'Rika-you're-cute!' love between IshiYoshi in Shabekuri earlier in the year...

Thanks for the links, dai! Thanks to everybody else for keeping Chuuch active - youjok (you're an awesome updater! *huggles), ~happy!, diav, masa, tru and other random member appearances
