Seriously, I don't understand the big hoo-ha surrounding 'TOP SECRET"
Don't they listen to the lyrics? The beginning already says all as hAngry sings:

"Hey Hey you know HIM, I got a feeling, kakusenai (which I cannot hide)"

PERIOD

In case you wanna know...

Wotas saw Yossi and Rika this morning at the Narita Airport. Off the girls fly~

In case you wanna know...

TOP SECRET PV is up @Dohhhup (as if you guys don't already  know >_< )

In case some of you are wondering what those Japanese characters that popped up in the PV are...

(credit: Japanese wota)

It's from a H&A comic strip.

Another proof that Rika likes to go bare-footed behind-the-scenes. LOL

(On a side note: Yossi said her dad commented that she looked just like a 'youkai' (妖怪) when he saw her with her new image. He particularly disliked the pink streaks. Source: Yossi's CDS)

BTW, in her blog, Miki apologized to Rika for making her look 'stupid' without her shoes on.

Miki also admitted that she had no idea who the girls were when she first caught sight of them in their office.

She even thought "wow, how humans have 'evolved'". Of course, at closer look, she quickly recognized them as Yossi and Rika.

(Me says...) For those who still thinks Miki is close to Yossi, it's time to wake up. Miki doesn't even know Yossi is in a group called hAngry&Angry, and I bet Miki is even interested to know that H&A already had two successful gigs in the US and is heading to Paris this weekend. How's that for showing how much you care for a friend? For once, I thought acquaintance might be a better word.

They are now called hAngry & Angry f (make that official).

Looks like they made it a point to show that hAngry & Angry is now called 'hAngry & Angry f'.

Some copyright issue?

We all understand the old hAngry & Angry duo ain't Yossi and Rika to begin with.

So, the girls may not rep H&A anymore next year or the one after next.

And if the girls' management still wanna produce some albums for them, they can't be using hAngry&Angry right? Hence the slight deviation in the naming?

Do I make any sense at all?

Anyway, that makes me very interested what 'f' stands for now.
Seriously, somebody should ask them that in Paris.

Top Secret?

(Me says...) I don't really like fanservices like these. So in-your-face.

Nobody knows... Top Secret... yeah, tell it to the birds.

When you are told to believe something, you know the truth is quite often the very opposite.
So, I guess I'm the only one not excited by all these.

Yossi @Gate's7 17-10-09 (II)

During Q&A segment, when asked about her baseball match watching with Rika-chan, Yossi said Rika got really angry when Hanshin lost; the latter's behaviour is also very 'uncle' when she is watching baseball games. Because Rika looks really scary when she's angry, Yossi hopes Hanshin will win the next time they go watch again.

(Me says...) see, there IS a next time.

In case you wanna know...

There are actually two versions to Yossi's Tamago logo

Yossi @Gate's7 17-10-09

A MC excerpt:

"Today at my gakuya, I got a shock when I realized that the cover of my hand cream had come off in my bag. A mess. Speaking of which.. there was one time when I got back from Seattle, no, the recent one was Los Angeles right? Anyway, I bought home some stuffs including this locally popular energy drink. Yeah, I'm quite into energy drink. When I got back home and opened my suitcase, I got a very bad shock because the can of drink had exploded. My mother came in and when she saw it, she asked me what had I been doing to get my clothes all stained. So, I had to chuck all my clothes into the washing machine and hope that the stains will come off.
You people have experiences like that? Canned stuffs exploding in your suitcase? And yah, this also. Oh, oh, I don't know whether I should be telling it, well, either way, Rika-chan is going to get angry. So, you know she has this pair of fluffy boots and, somehow, she managed to spill cream soda into it and I was asking "how the heck can someone get cream soda into the shoes?" She got it cleaned and hung dry, but said that the cream soda is so smelly, she ain't gonna wear them again. She said it on at least three occasions."

Kemeko feat. Rika

According to the latest entry in Kemeko's blog, Rika was at her house drinking yesterday. An entry before this, which was dated 16th Oct, Kemeko mentioned that she just got back from a hair salon where she had hair extension, and Rika was with her. So with this new entry, we know, apparently, Rika had followed Kemeko home.
So where's Yossi? Was she around too? Some may ask.
Well, since Yossi has to be in Fukuoda today for her Special One Man Live at Gate's7, she would have flown out of Tokyo yesterday.


(Me says...) So somebody's out of town and somebody's all alone and has to find solace elsewhere. LOL

Rika CDS @Osaka (12-10-09)

All of us fans know how Rika seldom talks or mentions Yossi during her dinner shows (although Yossi behaves less reticent). In fact, I would say that unless Yossi turns up at the event, Rika would never talk about Yossi at all, and since today's event was held in Osaka, I hadn't expected Yossi to turn up to support her good friend. Right? Because it will then be 'too obvious' if Yossi really traveled all the way to Osaka.

Yet today, Rika had spoken up...

During her MC segment, Rika said that on the 8th of this month, she and Yossi had gone together to watch a baseball match.

Wow~
What a statement...

And on the 8th, if some of you still remember, Kemeko had blogged that she met Yossi in a hair salon and Yossi was there to have her hair colour changed. That means on that day, Yossi had gone to meet Rika later. But who knows... maybe Rika was at the hair salon too, just that Kemeko conveniently forgot to mention it. I said that because Rika, too, had her hair colour changed for the 4th Gen show and she had even added hair extensions. I remember the day when I read about Kemeko's post (on Yossi), I had a hunch (or, wishful thinking) that Rika might be around too, but our Kemeko, thinking of the complications that would arise from her frank reporting, has since learned to 'talk' wisely. I'm sure she still remembers all the hoo-ha she caused when she told on TV how Rika, Yossi and her spent their Christmas together partying at her home; a place wotas now lovingly call 'Kemeko House'.

Yossi isn't lying when she said Rika and her are often together these days. On the 4th - Ayaya's concert surprise; 8th - baseball match; 10th - 4th Gen event. And these were only those known dates.


Edit (after some clarification): Apparently, on that day, Rika met Yossi in the office and told the latter that she was going to a baseball match, and Yossi was like "what? what? you mean 'going' as in you're going inside (the stadium)?" before asking "what if I want to go? are we going together?"

Yossi @STB 139 (11-10-09)

Question and answer segment:
Yossi misread 'what's your favourite 文房具' (stationery) as 'who's your favourite　女房' (wife).
wotas: Ehh!
Yossi: The characters look identical. Anyway, I don't have any favourite wife.
wotas: TOMEKO?
Yossi: ah, TOMEKO aishitemasu
(Yossi's favourite stationery is HB lead pencils)

H&A talk:
(roughly)
Yossi: Both of us are enjoying this new challenge. We are together so often that nowadays the digital folder of my cell phone only have two-shot pictures of us.
Wotas: FUUUUU~
Yossi: I will always be making weird faces and recently, Rika-chan started making them too, and she's getting better.
wotas: We want to see it.
Yossi: You know, her weird faces are really weird.

(Me says...) That's why they don't have blogs, because the pictures they post will always be Yossi with Rika or Rika feat. Yossi. LOL

While I was away...

What you guys miss while I was away...

(October) A staff involved blogged that they were filming a H&A PV.Apparently, there was this big white limosine.

(October) Rika and Yossi sprung a surprise on Ayaya (in the latter's concert). They appeared on stage in bunny outfits and at first, Ayaya didn't know who they were. When they disclosed their identities, Ayaya was very surprised and the crowd went crazy. Rika said she almost suffocated while wearing the outfit. Yossi said they had decided to come and have fun since both Rika and her were free.

(October) During her recent CDS, Yossi asked fans if they remembered the last time they did a survey for song requests. Yossi said she went through the list and realized that some songs couldn't be performed solo. For example Ice-cream to My pudding. She said maybe she should get Rika-chan to come the next time so that they could perform it together.

(September) Yossi attended Rika's STB event, the recent one. Wotas said that Yossi was seated together, or at least near, Rika's mother and sister. Wotas noticed Rika would often look up in the direction where Yossi and her family were seated. During her MC, Rika mentioned vaguely that things concerning Yossi and her family are supposed to be naishou. (meaning: secret)

(September) A staff working in a restaurant blogged in her mixi that Yossi and Rika came to dine in her work place. The girls dined in a private room. It seems that they are regular guests of the restaurant.

10-10-10

In the beginning, the girls enacted the Ganko family.
Ganko said "Ore no onna, ore no onna." (my woman, my woman) to Tomeko. 
Tomeko asked if she could have the pudding* in the fridge then and Ganko said "No, that pudding is mine."
There was a part where Ganko Ittetsu hugged Tomeko from behind.

* pudding here refers to V-U-Den's infamous Ice-cream & My pudding song. A song all wotas know that Yossi like a lot.

When Rika mentioned her BBQ at home last year, Yossi asked if that was why she had suddenly received a weird email of a pic of Rika BBQ'ing in the veranda only dressed in bikini.

When Tsuji made fun of Rika and her toilet smell, Yossi said she's okay with it since she recognises the smell of Rika's perfume. When wotas asked Yossi to disclose the brand Rika uses, Rika said 'No.'

Rika called Yossi 'kakkoii' after their rendition of Mr.Moonlight.

Rika said despite the rough exterior and 'crude' language Yossi often uses, Yossi's actually a nice and decent girl at heart.

When they talked about cooking, Yossi said she's quite often at Rika's place and sometimes Rika will cook, but somehow the latter always cuts her vegetables dangerously. She went on to describe how Rika will cut it vertically when other people normally will cut it horizontally (lying flat).
