I'll totally show you guys. I'm up for all sorts of merch, though. Esp. shirts. But lately I've been buying PBs, and I needed 24 because... I just did. <3
You can get all the good shirts off Yahoo Japan Auctions.
(I got 3 of mine off there). I'm still waiting for a Rika Gatas Jersey that won't cost me an arm. ^__^
I ended up not getting 24... I think for me, Hanabi & Happy is enough. If I can get my hands on any other PB for a good price, I will.
Crazy sexy Rika is really nice... but it's not my thing
an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind poster...
^ EEEK! That's one of my favourite Hollywood movies ever. An underrated gem
Me too. 
It is kinda strange, considering I'm straight 'n' all. I mean, Yossie's probably the only girl that ever made me question my sexuality. 
Because Yossie's just super duper kakoiiiiiii
it's against my will, it really is. But the way she carries herself reminds me of every boy crush I've ever had.
Yeah. When I get pictures, I want to put them in a place that I can see them, not somewhere hidden away. Kinda defeats the purpose of having pictures. 
I have other things on wall other than pictures, like a magnet. My sister went to Canada and got me a polar bear magnet, and instead of putting it on the fridge, I put it on my wall. 
I actually have several polar bear stuff on my wall, including a cut-out picture of one that came from a box of Coke that I got because it had a polar bear on it. I don't even drink Coke. I just wanted the polar bear picture. I also cut out some wrapping paper that had polar bears on it. (I don't know how this relates to Rika at all, I just wanted to share that. )
That's true... maybe I should make better use of my Rika pictures
You're a polar bear lover? Lol, that's cute!
When I was a kid, I used to be crazy about animals. Had almost 1000 figurines, played with them every day for hours on end. I've lost the passion, though I still adore animals. ^___^
It's OK... we should be able to talk to each other in other ways, not just through Rika
Ooo, speaking of which, Rika endorsed some Fanta drink a while ago, and I had bought a carton of Fanta orange soda because Rika endorsed it. It wasn't the exact kind she endorsed, but I figured it was close enough. =P
I haven't gotten me a fanta in ages >.<
I'll be sure to pick one up the next time I go for some soft drink (it's always either Mountain Dew or Solo for me!)
LOL Beecubed! Don't worry about going off topic more convo = active threads = happy CHUUUUUUUUUUCH!!
HA~PI! Chuuch!
It's really OK? OK, so don't mind me when I go on tangents about non-Rika things.
though it's unlikely to happen, coz when I want to talk here, it's mainly because of Rika.
I comfess, I still have my signed H&A poster in a bag still rolled up (loosely) 
need to frame it. From a guys perspective, Yossi is a girl I'd chill with, crush a beer Explains why there's only 2 male Yossi fans
FRAME IT already! If you're going to leave it like that, another 5 years will be over before you know it and h&A might be no more...
LOL. Yossie's somebody anybody can chill with, I think. She always seems really relaxed and fun to be around. ^__^
I would've thought there would be more male Yossie fans... but I guess a lot of guys prefer their girls more cute and feminine?
From those Yahoo auctions, I went and out bid - for stacks of the v-u-den concert unofficial pics (you know, the ones where she's all sweaty and doing the crotch splits) I hardly have any photos up. I just have a few of those clear file/8x11 Photos on my closet door. My room is such a mess and no where to hang up anything
POST YOUR ROOM/COLLECTIONS!! We wanna see!
I can't find any unofficial concert pics of v-u-den... most of the v-u-den merchandise there is CDs/DVDs now. Oh wells.
Your walls are messy too? lol, make some space for Rika's face!
I'm still in the middle of spring cleaning, so I want to clear out things properly before arranging my collection and filling up wall space with as much Rika/IshiYoshi/MM as I can squeeze in (coz I still need space for my Yamapi fandom
)
poor rika is being picked on
I remember almost wanting to cry when I first saw this... poor Rika...
I don't know if Konno was being serious or not (probably not, considering how she is most of the time), but it was a little too mean.
(didn't she see how hurt Rika looked through the monitor?!).
Reminds me of that time way way back when 4th Gen was first intro'ed to Utaban, and some unknown 4th GEN said Kaorin was creepy. And they just kept going and going, poor Kaorin looked so heartbroken and was in tears. >.<
Ehhh, but I guess behind the scenes everything is OK. Rika just gets picked on a heck lot in front of the cameras (and most of the time because of her Charmy persona).
I've been away a lot lately but fortunately you guys have been keeping Da Chuuch alive. Mad props & GJ, guys! 
Come to Chuuch more often, Masa!!!!
You're probably visiting, but you don't post as much.
I'm pretty sure that she was simply too busy cuz the Japanese entertainment industry is crazy like that. Even Kei had to wait for 10 years to get her tonsils removed: http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-5284
that's crazy... it must have not hurt too much then. Because if it did and she wasn't granted a break to do something about it, that would be inhumane...
Poor Kei... having your tonsils removed and resting at the hospital shouldn't take more than 4-5 days. She couldn't find even that little a time to put aside and help her situation? If you need to remove your tonsils, it's because they're causing problems. She could've been singing through throat aches all that time >.<
Yeah, I was hoping that Rika would get more acting gigs after Sukeban Deka but... nothing happened 
Which is a pity, because Rika has so much potential.
She was awesome in whatever role she had taken on as an 'actress.' I loved her in the H!M skits (along with Tsuji, who cracked me up all the time).
Nah but I did have the Hanabi poster up on my wall years ago. I guess I'm getting too old to cover my walls with chick pix
But you're never too old to do that! As you age, so does Rika. Maybe find some more recent Rika posters if that's the kind of comfort you need xD
My aunty is 43 now and she still has pics of Korean men all over her walls. ^__^
It's amazing all the Chuuch peeps we got now - and they all girls WOOT. Chibs, Miki IV, Beecubed, writerserenyty, diav, Naomi, Ishtar, tru_harmony, youjok, happycharmy to name a few. I think Masato's a guy but yep!!
Chibs not a girl...
I actually thought he was.
I was expecting a lot more males when I first arrived here. Maybe females are just more vocal with their fandom?
It talks about something that happened two months ago in Tokyo, cars, driving lessons... lol
"A pretty girl came out of the car, it's Morning Musume's Ishikawa Rika!" lololol
I can't really figure out the rest, but I get the feeling it might be something to do with Rika and driving, safety, etc.? Something like that.
Rika's so amazing she'd make the newspapers just because she's getting out of a car.
Or maybe she's a really bad parker? Wild driver?
The Football DX appearance Masa posted up details about can be downloaded at Hello-Online now.
