The Official Rika Thread

[Masa]

SUGOI!!!!

masa, you are the official god of Ishikawa-ness!! Thank you for those pics!!^^

My mission is to spread that sweeeeet Rika-love. The Church of Rika needs more new members

Btw, if these are the pics for the new single, I hope the PV is just as hot!!^^ *hoping something like GAM's new PV.... *

They are actually from Fleur de Fleur. But I'm sure the new PV will be smoking hot

[wakaba_doll]

^ Ooohh, even better then!!^^ *so happy she ordered Fleur~de~Fleur now too!*

And yes, you keep us all very happy! Or me, at least LOL

Make sure you download the Fleur de Fleur digi PB too. It has some kick ass pics that aren't in the actual PB:

Just a little discussion-starter, since I just started on my Rika collection today(*hugs her copy of hana-bi tight* )

What are the most ESSENTIAL Rika items to own? Doesn't matter order of importance, just wondering which items I should get next!^^ Thanks for the help!

[cool_kickin_dude]

I need to start one myself. I have her PB pics on a DVD, although I wish I could buy the books. I have all of them I believe except for Happy.

Congrats! I hope you like it

Some essential stuff:
PBs:
1. Happy
2. 2nd PB
3. 3rd & 1st PBs

CDs:
1. Morning Musume - The Peace single (cause it's Rika's signature song)
2. Morning Musume - Osaka Koi No Uta limited edition single (Rika's graduation single, comes with 5 Rika cards)
3. All Viyuden singles

bonus: Rika Ishikawa - Rikaishite onna no ko FC single (hard to find!)

DVDs:
1. Morning Musume Concert Tour 2005 Haru - Dai 6 kan Hit Mankai (Rika's graduation concert)
2. Viyuden - Live Tour 2005 Biyu Densetsu II Kurenai no Kisetsu
3. Viyuden - First Concert Tour 2005 Haru Biyu Densetsu
4. Viyuden Single V Clips

bonus: Rika Ishikawa Graduation Memorial DVD (hard to find!)

I would say that the most essential items are The Peace single, Happy PB and Rika's graduation concert DVD. Rika's graduation concert is definitely my all time favorite H!P concert and even non-Rika fans seem to enjoy it a lot

And you know everyone loves you, daigong!

I beg to differ

I need to start one myself. I have her PB pics on a DVD, although I wish I could buy the books. I have all of them I believe except for Happy.

Once you start collecting stuff there is no turning back. I bought my first items nearly two years ago (Hana-bi & Koi no Nukegara single) and since then I have bought pretty much all Rika-related releases. I'm also broke as fuck

[cool_kickin_dude]

hey wakaba, let's team up and get some Rika stuff!:)

[Masa]

Prince Rika is back!

105 days left!

[wakaba_doll]

hey wakaba, let's team up and get some Rika stuff!:)

For sure!!^^ *hugs*  I'm going to scout for those MM singles masa pointed out... I saw the perf of Osaka Koi no Uta at Rika's graduation ceremony, and I love that song! Plus, the fact that it comes with 5 Rika cards makes it a must-buy in my book

LOL I am too already from buying Maki stuff and now Rika... >.<

It's hard being a devoted fangirl to two H!P goddesses... Not enough of me to go around!^^ LOL

Word. That's why I only buy Rika stuff. As much as I love Ayaya (my 2nd fav) I just can't afford to buy any of her releases

It's so hard to choose though!! >.< Although... Rika's sheer perfection is starting to become reason enough to discard Ms. Goto... LOL :-P

Maybe I'll be able to make my decision when Viyuden's new single comes out next month!

Yeah, it's hard to resist Rika. She's more addictive than crack

Maybe I'll be able to make my decision when Viyuden's new single comes out next month!

I hope it's better than their last three singles. By the way what's your favorite Viyuden single so far?

Rika solo version of Osaka Koi No Uta:

The sound quality is really bad since it's a live version but it's still pretty cool

My favourite single so far is a tie between Ai~Suite Room~ and Kaccho ii ze JAPAN^^ I think if I really have to choose one, though, it will have to be Kaccho ii ze I love the chorus to that song!!^^ Addictive LOL

And thank you for that upload of Rika's solo on Osaka Koi no Uta!^^ I think I am going to purchase that single with the Happy PB next

And also remember to get the second PB too. You can't miss it. I'm going to purchase it soon until I have the money. It's the BEST Rika PB and all of H!P PBs. You can skip the third PB but can't miss this one.

Yeah, Rika's 2nd PB is definitely worth getting. It's not really hot but in my opinion it's the most beautiful Rika PB.
