Everybody's favourite kouhai

We know that she assaulted Yossi on the 6th of May.



But do you know about this that happened on the 4th of May?



(Me says...) Tokyo Alice starts today. Looking forward to reports by wotas, especially on Yossi's role.

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. >_<

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...

msn Tokyo Alice interview part 1

With Rika laughing like this and Yossi looking like this, we know someone must be telling something goofy.



Interview excerpts:

- Rika is not brand-conscious, and she'll think for a very long time before buying something.
- Rika idolizes (falls in love) easily. For example, after she had watched Pirates of the Caribbean, she quickly fell in love with Johnny Dep. Then she was in love with Tom Cruise for his character in Mission Impossible. As she didn't really like Tom Cruise before, she wondered if it was because of his hairstyle in the movie. When Yossi retorted that was because she is always look-conscious (visual-conscious), she laughed.
- Yossi doesn't go for looks. She thinks that the world is full of beautiful people so that's nothing great about looking beautiful or handsome. Besides she thinks that people who are narcissistic can't be trusted.
- When asked about her love life, Yossi said the only man around her during her younger days was her dad. Rika added that Yossi has eyes that looks like her father, describing them having a calming presence. Yossi said her dad isn't handsome nor good-looking, but has a good sense of humor. He is also the kind of father who isn't too serious or crazy. The thing she likes most about her father is that her father sees her mother as the most important person in his life. She hopes to marry someone like her father, although her mother often tells her "Please marry someone different from your father!'
- Rika wants to marry someone who is her prince-charming. But, many a times, people have told her it is almost impossible to find someone like that.



(Me really digs the way Yossi dresses, and her slender legs are just... *faints*)

[NOT ISHIYOSHI] For those who wonders why I stopped updating the old site.

(For those who are wondering why I stopped updating the other site.
Because I wrote my thoughts and someone started throwing shit at me just because my post supposedly hurt her ego.)

(My original post)
People who like to link their lives with everything 1444 or the girls themselves irks me. Plainly because they HAVE to go around telling the world wide web. And I (or we, too?) are unwittingly forced to read them, thinking at first what info we will be getting.
When they see the girls in skull t-shirts, they say they own one, too.
When they see the girls having more than one earring, they say they have multiple ear piercings, too (and who cares that that's only possible because they have large ears).
When they see the penchants the girls wore, they say they own a similar one, too.
When they happen to see a vehicle with a licence plate or anything whatever'ly '1444', they feel its an auspice from above. (When I wonder if they know the clock will, whether you like it or not, show 14:44 every bloody single day?)
When the girls say they are often out for karaoke and meals, they said they and their girlfriends do exactly the same, too. (Me ask them: 'which dating couple doesn't do these bloody mundane things?')
When they see the girls string a guitar, they say they play the guitars too. (Well, why don't they have some ingenuities and say like, they can do a handstand a la Yossi?)
When one of the girls cuts her hair or dyes it, they said 'What a coincidence, I was just thinking it's about time they do it' (when they are thinking nothing else but the girls every bloody day. Coincidence, my foot).
When the girls say they like to drink, they say they drink, too. (Though I think to tell the world you are a teetotaler is way more cool.)
When everything about them have to be ishiyoshi'able to make them a ishiyoshi shipper.

Just get a damn bloody life!

Yeah, I am in a foul mood today.

Edit:
Then a few minutes later, after I publish my initial draft, but I was still amidst editing my own post for grammatical errors, somebody, a very kind soul, redirected me to this other place, where the author (yes, the lady who goes around preaching how everything is the 'TRUTH') had already posted a tirade against me.

So, to the person whom I supposingly hurt because she thinks whatever I think or do or say still has anything to do with her, I could only say I'm sorry and my advice, "Yes, you need to get a life".

It's sad that you think you fall into the above prescribed category. And I can tell you, no one in the world can beat you the way you're making yourself looking like a fool, by linking your harangue post back to this one here. I repeat, I don't bug or even bother about you at all. Because why should I? The World isn't about you alone; China alone already has a bloody billion people. Which means you need to get into that head of yours that the world doesn't revolve around you, so, Chill out~

To YOU, yes, now I am talking to YOU (Happy?): You can wallow in self-pity in your so-called sanctuary for all people care, but to drag me into it is just too much! If you think the mere mention of the word 'guitar' was the link to you, you have no idea how many people in this world can actually play the guitar? (Talk about a full-blown narcissist) If I had said 'jamming KMKM on her electric guitar in her bathroom' then I guess nobody will say it's not you I'm referring to. And for your info, those people I had in my mind when I said they find an affiliation to everything 1444 are those who had linked themselves to the Rika who was playing a 'country' guitar (note my verb usage: string, not jam) in her CDS, not your self-believed h&A's Yossi's electric guitar. Your world is narrow, that doesn't mean mine is; you might only know one person who can play the guitar, but the web is full of hard-die 1444 shippers who can play the guitar. Sorry, I forgot you are a notch better since you can jam (wow~) a guitar. In case if you are wondering where my above pet peeves come from, it is because I read a lot of Japanese 1444 fans' blogs. Widen your scope, kiddie. And of the utmost importance, I said THIS in the beginning of this post:

'And I (or we, too?) are unwittingly forced to read them, thinking at first what info we will be getting.'

And you would think everything about this post is about you??? When I don't even check your sacred place for NEW info about them. GEEZ!

And yeah, you already linked your post back to this entry even before I have finished editing my own post. That's how fanatic you have been 'stalking' me. Give me a break. What? Does that mean I can't even blog now just because it MIGHT hurt your feelings? Or do I have to send you my drafts for approval from now on before I can post them? There are Japanese 1444 shippers, Korean 1444 shippers, Chinese 1444 shippers and American 1444 shippers, and so many other internet users who are bad-mouthing/against 1444, but I don't see you go bug them? You really do think this whole -or my tiny world of- 1444 fandom is about you alone, isn't it?


You always claim to be the rep of ishiyoshi, from your constant blatant pimping of ishiyoshi in whatever forums you are in, sparing no concern for others, who actually disliked the duo. You claimed the girls to be the 'TRUTH' when there's no concrete evidence that they were. I am TRULY pissed, because your childish and insensitive actions and words only make us, ishiyoshi shippers, a laughing stock in eyes of others. You steal info and thoughts I share with you, repackaged and sell them off as your originals. You're bloody good and convincing back then because you're so bloody good with words. But right now when I had cut you from here, this site, where I have been updating assiduously about the girls, and barred you from my life, what's left of you? You panicked and started pouring out links and sites (in your sanctuary) telling others that's where you supposedly get your sources and info from. I don't see you sharing those links when everything's fine. I think you're just hoping another shipper who understands Japanese, but who doesn't know about those links, will help you out and feed you with info so that you can still pretend to be the maverick of all English Ishiyoshi Fans. When time passed and more people have started isolating themselves from you, you started giving excuses, saying the lack of updates on the girls in your sanctuary was because you were in the countryside with no internet connection. That I believe, though I didn't understand why I would still see your nick popping up every now and then in forums and still pretending to be the one you aren't.

I don't want to be this sarcastic and harsh to you since we were friends before, but yes, I do snap at extremities.

Now you see how silly you have made yourself look.

P/S: I wonder if people think I painstakingly collate and blog info about the girls just to have people verbally abusing and recriminating me (what's with the BLOODY LINK back here) just because they have too sensitive an ego, not to mention, being ultra paranoid.


I don't mind getting flamed. I was said the nastiest thing; I will read them and still smile. I am that sicko. My blogs aren't fanservice, or platforms for recognition. I am not an attention-seeker, or else I wouldn't set my blogs to invite whenever I see people flooding them. Because if that happens, I should in fact enjoy it if I have a maverick mentality (like someone else). You people have no idea the number of hate emails I was subjected to just because my Ishiyoshi site is quite popular among English Ishiyoshi fans. And I knew of die-hard hitomiki shippers actually posing as 1444 shippers and lurk around, waiting for chances to sabotage, leaving nasty comments. Most of you won't know, because most times, I would have deleted their comments fast enough. (Anyway those guys were history now). But you don't see me coming out and ranting about such negativities because I knew such things don't interest other people. I am not a narcissist. I don't talk about me and me and me all the time. I know readers wanna know what's up with our fav. couple and not me, that's why they come to this site. Therefore, most of you might not know how tough it is to maintain this site. Most clicked the URL, see no updates and clicked away. If there's one, they read and then left. Anyone ever appreciated the effort? Yes, only when I locked it. Then I would see hate entries about me in the internet saying how I was arrogant and bad-tempered and petty. But, I don't mind the hate. Because Here is what I love doing, and I know there are people who hate what I am doing. But If they hate me so much and can't keep themselves from coming here, then I have to keep them out. It's as simple as that. I won't whine or try to explain or beg for others' understanding. People hate me because I pinpoint their fault. Perhaps my wrong is that I am too frank, but I really have strong distaste for people with no principles. Before you start flaming me, think whether you are that perfect yourself.

In case you wanna know...

For some time, wotas have noticed how Rika seldom uses kanji in her writings, and recently, Rika herself admitted that she's weak in kanji, and she seldom reads because it becomes frustrating whenever she comes across a kanji she doesn't know. She said it disrupts her mood for reading.

(Me says...) Japanese wotas are just so very observant. They had guessed it even before Rika had admitted it. As for Rika... I hope someone would get her a dictionary, since reading - or to be able to read - is (supposed to be) one of life's greatest pleasures.

Recently...

Yossi on TV: designing a rider jacket and sharing beauty tips.
Yossi on internet: showing beauty products she uses; appearing/being mentioned ubiquitously in everybody's blogs (Makochan, Kemeko, Nakazawa nesan, Kaorin and Niigaki@radio)

Rika on TV: backpacking and trekking to third world countries, enduring harsh living conditions, making her already dark skin more sable.
Rika on internet: only one publicly known private pic with Kemeko and occasional - very occasional - cameo together with Yossi in Makochan's blog.

Before, Yossi was boyish, secretive and dorky,
and Rika was the Alpha girl: girly, feisty and pampered.

Now, Yossi's always dressed in white and pink and has grown her hair long. Rika has cut her hair and is often seen in black, sometimes with long-sleeved shirts as overalls.

(Me says...) Notice the switch?

hAngry and Angry press conference @Seattle

credit to the kind soul who took these pics

PINK
PINK
PINK
Yossi's in PINK again!

(Me says...) She so surfs the internet.
*faints*

Just recently...

Kaori had said this in her CDS...

'Back in momusu days, I had mistaken Yossi to be a lesbian'


(Me says...) Damn her! Just damn her (and her big mouth) >_<

what's up on...

31st March
A member of IZAM blogged that they just had rehearsal. 6 songs, including old and new songs.

(Me says...) I wonder if the girls were there too, which could mean they were together on the last day of Hello!Project. They were together when they debuted, now the thought that they might be together too when it all ended is just so... fated! They are so destined to be together~ Oh yah, that also means those at SakuraCon might get to see them perform their new song. Woot~ >_<

1st Apr
Yossi & Kaori dining together.

(Me says...) Our Yossi just dines with the least expected people >_<
