The Official Rika Thread

[Saburo]

i understand having a book is much better than lookin from computer, but its just me that i rather spend that money on sth [sic] more worth it.

I know what you mean, but some items are worth OWNING, possessing.  I have some photo cards that I got from the H!P store in Harajuku that blow away any of the scans I see online.  Maybe it's the glossy photo paper, or it's my imagination.

I don't collect photobooks as much as I used to due to: 1) lack of funds, and 2) lack of space.  So I stick to the essentials -- only buy stuff that are my top favorites.  This includes all MM CDs and DVDs and pretty much all Rika pictorials.

At first I thought this was going to be an "essay" book, like what Nacchi released a year or so ago.  I've been burned by that stuff before (anyone remember the Musume "tarot" card set?) so I waited for reviews from sites like this one before biting the bullet and ordering the "Happy" book (along with "Aigokoro").

I dunno...  I leech the mp3 files ASAP but there's a good feeling about seeing that CD single box on your shelf...

Now this is what every hardcore Rika-fan's desktop should look like:

 

What about this guy:


I want my Happy Book

i guess i am just not the type of fanboy like most of u guys are. their music really appeal to me so therefore i never will buy their singles unless it really gets me relisten to them for a long time.

i am just a weird fanboy.

Dude that didn't make any sense but I think I know what you really meant to say.

For the record...  Amazon Japan just shipped my copy of "HAPPY!" several hours ago.

I.  Can't.  Wait.

wot? what was it like? I made a fake reading, but it was horribly received

eyeballcancer, if you read this, do you mind posting your hilarious divergent irises censor bikini pic signature again?

this is what tama-chan posted:

takahashi is a big crybaby (lol). when mame or the 5th gens ask her if there's anything troubling her she might end up crying. but the "i'll try my best" (in fukui ben) simplicity it's a sort of unchanging part of takahashi ai and i think that's great.

for makoto, just her being around is great. just looking at her cheers you up (lol). really, just her being there makes you cheerful. because of that, when i'm feeling weak, she gives me power

konkon was with me during futsal or tampopo, but she is a girl with her own konkon world. it's good that she does things at her own pace. when I look at her face during competitions, I feel more at ease.

mame is well, at first she was really a kid (lol). what she said was child-like. but sometime she started to really become more secure , when she's with takahashi she seems like the older sister. she really brings across her love for MM. i'd like her to keep improving herself and to try her best.

we're the same age but of course our personalities are totally different, we even came to blows at first. but once we got to know each other better, our bond really deepened. she can be self conscious/ abashed, and sometimes a bit short-tempered/ stubborn, but  at at the time of my graduation I wrote in a letter "i like miki chan's singing voice". she's a cute but stubborn (?) girl isn't she? miki chan is that sort of girl.

eri is really trying her best to establish her own character. she's similar to me in that it's like she's waiting to be  picked on. (invites a tsukkomi) her character is close to mine. like saying kishoi things and so on. (guess kishoi is like kimoi/ something like groanworthy or stuff that makes the skin crawl :p)

I want to give sayu lots of advice. because i feel if i give her advice, she'll put in more effort. now, she's changed a lot. she has become a more secure person. in ecomoni i'm pampered by sayu.

shall we eat bento together? when I say that, she'll delightedly reply "yes". that makes me happy and is very cute. she's an unusually hard worker so, when she is brave enough to go to places where everyone is, and I say wasn't that fun, she'll say "thank you". that's really cute.

btw, where're comments for yossi?  

[Masa]

Thanks bot

That's hilarious. The only nice thing Rika was able to say to Miki was "I like your singing voice". I guess they really aren't that good friends afterall.

[TheQuickening]

The thing about the bentos were her comments on Reina?

[ebc]

And so, my Happy Book from YesAsia has finally begun it's journey

This one bot?


It's real you know, all I did was put the Reina face in front of her boobs just in case people were at work.  

[bot]

yes, thanks!
BWAHAHHAHA
Oh and the last comment is about reina.

[tamatron]

Just because that's the only thing she let us know doesn't mean that it's the only thing she wrote.

btw, where're comments for yossi?

I don't think anyone's posted it. Or maybe I missed it somehow. I saw the one about Tsujikago, but I wasn't sure if it was real because it was written in...Nono's style. Like yo and ne in katakana...something like that. Maybe I'll try to find it.

Oh, ebc, I saw that sig of yours at Coimbra 2 days ago.

Edited : BOT! I found it!

Face it tama-chan, even Rika thinks that Miki is a devilish whore

You know, in the dvd of the extras, on the last night, i think, after they did their usual cheer, Miki was the first person to hug Rika.  

[tamatron]

Face it, Masa, that now you're a Miki hater ever since you heard that mic recording because it shattered your fantasy of a Rikamiki's lesbian sex.

Nah, I don't hate her, she's still one of my fav members.
I'm just trying to ruin your campaign cause you got the slogan all wrong.

for some reason, I pretty much trust RI and everything she wrote... she's probably not an instant click with fuji, but they are friends nonetheless

thanks!
quick summary: tsujikago are really cute, they've grown up a little now. in a way they inspired charmy.
kago is a natural, tsuji is loved and cared for by everyone.
she'll continue to look after them like a mother.

yossi is very understanding, and rika can share her troubles with her. her strength helped rika to welcome her graduation

the ganko family has strengthened the 4th gen bonds. they're really like a family.

[tamatron]

Thanks for the translation, bot.

Yeah, I know. That's how I think their relationship is, too. You know, these two always talk about how different they are, but maybe they are more alike than they think. Like how Rika says that Miki is very stubborn, I actually think Rika is pretty stubborn, too, and that's why they've fought with each other.

[ebc]

It's here!

HQ pics coming soon..
