Yossi @STB 139 follow-up

Other things Yossi said in her MC.

* She's going back to short black crop. When the crowd made sounds of protest, Yossi asked for their understanding, saying her long hair was getting too troublesome to manage.
* She won't have an official blog because she knows she won't update it assiduously. She thinks it is a hassle to record when or where everything she's done.
* She seems really keen in running a marathon.
* She had injured herself through over training.

Fans noticed that Yossi's name was omitted from the poster of coming musical 'FOOTLOOSE'.

previous poster:

new poster:


(Me says...) Schedule clash because of hAngry last minute trip to AX? This time, it seems UF 's really bend on reaching out to US fans. Or maybe Yossi didn't want to do the musical and after the advice from Yuki senpai, she now knew how to say 'no' diplomatically. Anyway this is good news to me. I never like the girls mixing with dregs (strong word?). Bad influence.

EDIT: Nakazawa Yuuko ne-san blogged that she just received a new role in a musical. Could she be the replace for Yossi? Talk is rife in jp2# forum that Yossi may be running in the Honolulu marathon, the one she recently talked about in a tv show, so her training would clash with the musical. During her STB event, she even joked and asked whether fans would form a tour group and go support her if she were to take part.

Coming soon...

Yossi will be on a show on 14th June. The one she went to Okinawa a while back.

RararaRUN 2009-05-23 feat. Yossi

Yossi loves to run, but she hasn't been running for weeks. Someone (the female host?) said that most women don't like running because it makes their thighs/legs look big. Yossi agreed and the coach said it was because they were running the wrong way, since running like you were kicking will train the muscles where you don't want them to be. If done correctly, the legs won't look 'big', the hips won't expand, instead the buttocks will perk up making the person look better in jeans. Yossi seemed really glad to learn about it. She said whenever she slips into a pair of jeans, she realises one of her thigh is bigger than the other.
The host asked when Yossi started running. Yossi said she was once very 'big' and couldn't jump in her concerts. The hosts were surprised. In that concert, despite using all her strength to jump high, her manager later told her 'That wasn't a jump at all'. That comment made her set her mind on getting her body back into shape. Slowly, when she shed her weight, she wasn't as clumsy and there were changes in herself that made her feel good. The host said when 'futsal' was mentioned, people will think of her, and Yossi said she has been playing futsal for five years now. She still trains regularly, like once a week. And sometimes, even though the training is energy-straining, she will still go jogging when she gets back from training. The female host thought Yossi 'kakkoii' and asked why. Yossi said she likes the feeling of being totally drained before sleep.
The show proceeded to the 'practical' part. When the coach was scrutinizing her running, Yossi said she felt funny being watched. After that, the coach said Yossi's running form was good and he could only point out one thing that needed rectifying. Yossi's running posture changed after that and she said she should have no problem running another 10km now.
Yossi seems interested in marathon running and the coach said a person normally need to train five months, but Yossi may take only 2 months.

(Me says...) Rika once said Yossi has drooping eyes that look calming (msn Tokyo Alice interview). I wonder if she meant these~

What's new...

Yossi was in Okinawa today recording a TV show.


and Yossi will be on TV on 23rd May, the show's about keeping fit.
What actually is exermusic?


(Me says...) Is the guy in suit her manager? At least, he looks pleasing to the eye. >_<


and Casual Dinner Show on 27th June

Recently...

(Me says...) Whenever Yossi is looking stunning, people (anti-Yossi?) will bring up her weight issue. Someone re-posted this comic when wotas were discussing how pretty Yossi was in Tokyo Alice. I have long forgotten about this comic until I saw it again. Disparaging aside, the comic per se is actually quite funny, thus I translate it for those who don't understand Japanese. Seeing how the story unfolds, you'll realise i shi yo shi rumors must be really rampant in those days, I presume that's where the author got his inspiration from...

There's no doubt her fat days in 2002-2003 will always remain her stigma, but I choose to see the side where she shows her extraordinary determination by coming back and proving everybody wrong.

P/S: Anyone has Rika's comic from this series?

tongue-in-cheek

Nobody (I knew) would ever say 'I hope she'll feed her daughter some yakisoba' about Tsuji-chan.


(Me says...) Yossi, you have a really wicked sense of humor, and I totally love it! >_<

In case you wanna know...

English I read in Yossi's 2ch thread today.

It began when someone wrote: Most beauty of tarent Hitomi yoshizawa

then someone tried to correct him/her by writing: Most beauty of the talent Hitomi yoshizawa

then another person felt the sentence structure and capitalization were totally wrong and wrote: Hitomi Yoshizawa is the number one beauty talent

thinking that it still looked weird, another offered: Talent world one beauty no Yoshizawa

finally, one had enough of bad experimental English and wrote: The World's Most Beautiful Woman, Hitomi Yoshizawa

Now... when I thought there's no better and proper English than that, someone suggested: No. 1 Gay, Yoshizawa

I was laughing so hard when I saw 'Yakuza gay yoshizawa', I just burst out more laughter. Great, we now have a gay mafia. At this time, when I felt Japanese wotas are truly fun and crazy, someone came up with the best

'Yoshizawa was a white bear'


(Me says...) That was still so OUCH! despite the past tense usage. >_<
