The Official Rika Thread

[Masa]

I know this doesn't really belong here... but I'll post it anyways:

>

Whoa, great job! That's actually one of my all time favorite Rika UFA sets

[Beecubed]

It's almost like she says "I have Flaws. LOVE ME FOR IT!"

I think that's exactly what she's saying...

There's no such thing as a perfect person, but I won't hesitate in saying that Rika is a perfect person. A flawed perfect person. If that makes any sense.  

Well here's an example of her taking her flaw and turning it into a strength. Failed winking has never been so attractive!  

LOL Rika on Utaban getting squeezed by the cameraman, aww @ Nono beating him up

Nono is love! She's protecting her mama...  

Rika looks really harassed, lol. I like a harassed Rika, as evil as that sounds. CUTE! (Though I'd prefer Yossie to do the harassing... *sighs* bring back the good 'ol days!)

And LMAO @ Yahoo Auctions. been down that road, check outthe grand I dropped a few years ago, seen in The Collection Thread. I got goto maki boxers that'll prolly fit a midget! Can't wait to see your loot Beecubed!!

Yeah, I saw your admirable collection a while back! Awesome!  
I was actually really jealous of your pink bunny shirt the first time I saw it lol... but I have one of my own now, and been pimping Rika whenever the chance arises!   (it's waaaaaaay too big for little me though >.<)
A lot of my female cousins were like, 'OMG, you're wearing pink? And a bunny?' (as I'm not one to wear pink or bunnies on the front) and commenting on how cute it was and asked where I got it from...  And me, I'm like... well you see, there's this idol....
But I have to ask, Dai... do you go places with your pink bunny t-shirt?
I guess in some ways, it's easier for a Rika fangirl.  

did u also watch Rika Ishikawa - Inaka ni Tomaro SP 20100103 I didn't understand a fucking word, but I think she was so touched at how the family welcomed her with open arms...and even as she was waaaaaay down the block they were still waving good bye  

Since I couldn't download anything early last month, with my granny passing and the net capped (stupid brother and his ever growing porno collection), had to start downloading a lot of stuff just recently. the Inaka ni Tomaro SP being one of them - will get to watching it ASAP!
I wish there was a Rika fansub group out there, really...  

Whoa, great job! That's actually one of my all time favorite Rika UFA sets

Thanks
It's mine, too.
It's the hair, and the spunky wardrobe. Divine.

I've begun working on some pictures (recoloring to be exact) to make the colors more vivid (and sexy  ) and the above was the first result I got.

GJ, but you might want to watch the blue channel balance.  The darker areas turned blue instead of black and the brownness of her hair(and eyes!) got a little lost:

Thanks for that, Slack!

Thing is, I wasn't really going for a 'realistic' recolor... I just wanted to make it prettier. My brown haired (and eyed) recoloring of Rika didn't quite satisfy me so I played around a bit more. In a 'graphicking' way, like the nice hues and stuff I had going for my other Rika graphics. ^___^ Coz yeah, it's obvious I made her lose a lot of the light browness (though I've always preferred a darker haired Rika  )

Question, which show is this from exactly?:



I was watching the Best of Rika OPV posted in the contest thread, and it reminded me I've been wanting to ask for a while now. It appeared in another OPV I saw some time ago.

I'm downloading quite a lot of older shows now (via bittorrent). This one is a subbed one. I'm hoping it's one of the shows I'm downloading. But a name would be nice...

[daigong]

^ Don't worry the Creative Contest judging is still being judged (IT IS HARD!! so many good entries  )

The Perfect Idol cuz she accepts who she is! YEAH! That's DAT   SWAGGA. Rika defines Alpha Dog.

But I have to ask, Dai... do you go places with your pink bunny t-shirt?
I guess in some ways, it's easier for a Rika fangirl.  

ROFL!! I only wore it once?? maybe cuz it's too tight for me. here I am in the company of A Few Good Hipstaz (KT with the camera action)


of course I got a "I really like your shirt" from Rei-chan's friends

Since I couldn't download anything early last month, with my granny passing and the net capped (stupid brother and his ever growing porno collection), had to start downloading a lot of stuff just recently. the Inaka ni Tomaro SP being one of them - will get to watching it ASAP!
I wish there was a Rika fansub group out there, really...  

Awwww...my condolences to your granny

lol @ your bro...but yeah. We had JPH!P Fansubs at one point, but our main translators disappeared or jumped ship. At least we got a few projects done (Flets Ishishiba)

Looks like Rika's met up with the cast for her new play!

[writerserenyty]

Haha, I like the shirt ^^. I'm SO jealous of your collection, daigong. I wanted to get a Rika shirt, the one off of Hello Store USA, but I REALLY hated the shirt and didn't want to spend $40 on it (considering it was basically just a pink shirt with 9 in the upper corner, and maybe her name in small letters, with some Gatas stuff on the back). Slowly but surely my Rika collection is building (I should be ordering 24 pretty soon; I got some money recently and feel like I should spend it all on Rika items).

@Fansubbing: Just wait a few years and I'll do a lot of translation, hahaha. I'm currently in my second semester of college Japanese, and the pace of our learning is PRETTY fast. As soon as I can do translating I will.

This is from Hello! Morning.
Episode 293 [2006-01-15]- New Year's Overweight Special (part 2)

[daigong]

mystery person posted this on the board:


celebrity ice cone eater! from her Kazahana PB (i think my mind is not working atm lol)

[kuro808]

she went to Matsumoto's sweet

[Beecubed]

Hahaahaa... cute.
Too tight for you? It doesn't look it... anyway, it's SO big, it's nice to relax in. I'm sure you relax in it at home at least? xD
But good job. I don't know many guys who'd dare to wear pink, whatever the reason. And especially THAT shade of pink. On top of the bunny. Lol. 

Awwww...my condolences to your granny

lol @ your bro...but yeah. We had JPH!P Fansubs at one point, but our main translators disappeared or jumped ship. At least we got a few projects done (Flets Ishishiba)

Thanks. Been a rough January for me, but it's all good now. 
Oh yeah... thanks for getting the Flets clip subbed! It was such an awesome little clip with plenty of Rika cuteness and IshiShiba 

Looks like Rika's met up with the cast for her new play!

Wow, this darker Rika look is pretty spunky! 
And yay for more work... I'm just wondering if this stuff of hers will be subbed. Can't watch stuff (unless it's Hello!Morning! xD) that I don't understand.

I'd avoid buying the shirts from the Hello Store... I dunno, the shirts aren't cool enough? Lol. I spotted a really nice Gatas shirt from Yahoo Japan Auctions. The really good, rare Rika stuff is there, if you want to build your collection. Just buy a lot of stuff (well, more like win those auctions xD) and get them sent to you in one shipment. Voila, your Rika collection has exploded in size. And you're broke. 

@Fansubbing: Just wait a few years and I'll do a lot of translation, hahaha. I'm currently in my second semester of college Japanese, and the pace of our learning is PRETTY fast. As soon as I can do translating I will.

That would be heavensent, serenyty. 
Good luck with the studying!

celebrity ice cone eater! from her Kazahana PB (i think my mind is not working atm lol)

It really isn't working, Dai. 

It's from Karen:

[StephanyLee]

OMG I totally envy you xD That's so incredible. I always wanted a shirt but i'm poor lol
You should wea it more often though, you don't look too gay

She looks absolutely gorgeous here   

[tiny]

Assume your positions!

[Slack]

"Tiger Breezing"? "Breathing"?
Whatever it is, Rika's pose is OMG Hawt.

Wait a second... isn't that Sengoku and Kikkawa in the school uniforms?

[Chibs]

the person in the beret looks kinda like Iida to me, but then again maybe not

[Slack]

I personally thought she looked a little like Misono.

[Chibs]

Its the lack of sleep I swear

[diav]

I can see how she looks like Iida, haha.

And yesss, sexy pose, Rika. 8D

[daigong]

Kaori!! we wish lol. DAMN!!!! Rika new play is gonna be HOT.

Assume your positions!

Thanks Beecubed for that correction!! KAREN looks like Chibs mind was in the same state as mine on the wkd

You should wea it more often though, you don't look too gay

But good job. I don't know many guys who'd dare to wear pink, whatever the reason. And especially THAT shade of pink. On top of the bunny. Lol.  

To quote myself earlier in this thread:

I want to wear a pink T shirt because I am confident in my manhood.

...which is why our official gear rocks it!! alas tama shot me down 

[kuro808]

Looks like a good start for me
