msn Tokyo Alice interview part 2



When asked whether 'love' or 'money' is more important in a relationship, Rika said that there was something she always wanted to say and that "it is neither love nor money, but health that is the most important." Once, when watching a scene on TV, her mother had told her "only when you are in good health, then you can work hard to make money" and she has remembered those words since.

Yossi thinks having money in a relationship is quite important to an extent, because if there's no money, there's no way you can feed your hunger, and in this case, it is about survival. For love, Yossi trailed off and said "taking a character in the play for an example, I would tell the jobless and penniless person please come back (to me) after you have worked hard." Rika felt what Yossi had said was 'kakkoii'.

Yossi found the other woman's views too profound. She joked that since she had stepped into showbiz at the early age of 14, she had never experienced any adolescent teenage love, therefore her own views just now might be quite objective. However, there were times when she learned of people around her getting married, she would think 'so, they took the plunge, ne?' The other woman agreed and said people nowadays married at a young age. Yossi couldn't agree more (since fellow 4th gen member Tsuji Nozomi was a good example), but she said she never thought the same (thing) would happen to her. Rika agreed by saying 'somehow it feels like it is always other people's business, never mine...' to which Yossi agreed "it is other people's business, right?"

When asked if they looked forward to marriage, Rika said she would really be troubled if her prince charming were to suddenly appear in her life now. Yossi retorted: "You can never get married if you keep saying my prince-charming." They laughed and Rika said: "I won't marry suddenly because that would make me wonder what would happen to my job. However, there were times when I would dream about marriage, like forming a happy family and having kids."
Yossi felt that in reality she couldn't see herself getting married any time soon; her greatest joy now is her job.

If she were to live again, Rika said she would still choose her current job. She felt it's all fate that she had auditioned to be in MM, and then chosen and given the job. It wasn't because of her interest or any special talent that made her want to be in this line again, it was because after ten years of doing it, she felt she's so fated to be in this line. She likes the many challenges she gets to face.
Yossi said she wanted to be a man and would learn to hold a golf club at the age of 3. Rika gave the name of a famous Japanese golfer, and Yossi said 'Yes, I will want to become a professional golfer.'

Rika thinks she has grown up in a way that she is now able to withstand hunger better. She doesn't show it like before when people could just see from her face that she was getting hungry.

Yossi said she herself doesn't change (much). Perhaps the only thing about her that changes often is her hairstyle. Her hairstyle now is the longest she has had. Normally, she'd cut her hair when it has grown this long, and would already have if not for the musical, since long hair suits her role better. But, she is starting to get sick of her long hair. She doesn't like short hair better, just that short hair feels more comfortable and now, she finds it really troublesome to dry her long hair after washing.

When asked how they have changed after they have graduated from MM, Yossi said since we are still together always... when Rika said we are still together in group activities and will also meet up often. Rika then said if this time she were all alone in the musical, she would definitely feel nervous, but since Yossi and Makoto are with her now, she doesn't feel any 'isolation' (<<-- I might get this wrong).



(Me says...) a lot of things are going through my head now...
