It's time for... Useless tidbits about Ishikawa Rika! Yay! \(^▽^)/
- During the 4th generation audition, Rika’s mom told her to look after for “those little kids” [Tsuji and Kago].
- In the latest H!P winter 2005 concert in Nagoya, Rika, Nono, Goto and Yaguchi went out together and ate yakiniku. This was where “Yakiniku4” was born.
- Another “Yakiniku4” (this one actually happened first), Rika took Takahashi, Eri and Sayu out and they had yakiniku.
- In the current MM tour in Nagoya (again), Rika, Yaguchi, Miyoshi and Asami (Country) went out eating together. And since all 4 of them were old enough, they had some sake, too. [Umm...wasn't this when Rika was sick?]
- In tonight’s episode of ChanChami (050407), Rika said that she went out with Yossie and Sayu to watch cherry blossoms.
- The first time Rika got a chance to spend time alone with Nono since her graduation was 4 months after that.
- Eri and Sayu call her “Oneechan” (big sister).
- Rika and Takahashi call each other “Rika-dono” and “Ai-dono”. It started when Rika was filming Kunitori Monogatari, and she took a picture of herself in the costume and sent it to Takahashi. After that Takahashi started calling her “Rika-dono”. ["Dono" is actually used with men.]
- Before concerts, Rika likes to be with Miki because she can relax when she’s with her.
- Rika is the only MM member who calls Kaori “Kaotan”. [Probably not the only one in H!P, since I heard Boss called Kaori that once.]
- At 00:00 on her 20th birthday (when it changed from 18th to 19th), the first Happy Birthday mail from a Hello! Project member that Rika received was from Yossie.
- On her 20th birthday, Goto sent her a Happy Birthday mail, Rika replied to her, saying, "Let's go have some sake together when you turn 20."
- In her new book, Goto was asked if she could reborn as a guy, which member of MM she'd like to go out with. After some pondering, she went with Rika.
