Someone from mixi wrote that s/he met Ishikawa Rina and Yoshizawa Hitomi at her/his workplace today. S/he said that although celebrities often come to the shop (meaning it's no big deal), s/he just felt like blogging it.
The entry was posted 18th Jun 01:33am (very early Thursday morning).
(Me says...) I think I can safely deduce that Yossi and Rika had dinner together after their sacas practice. They can't seem to get enough of each other, ne? Woo~ adrenalin rush again.
(Note that s/he spelled Rika's name wrongly. If s/he really meant Ishikawa Rina, I would have no idea who she was.)

GATAS sacas public practice (17th Jun) follow up
This time, more fans await as the girls were ready to leave after their sacas public practice.
One reported: There were company wagons parked outside so we waited there. After 30 mins of waiting, the new member who is wearing jersey number 30 came out first and said 'otsukaresan' to us. Another new member said 'arigatou'. Five minutes later, Sengoku, Sawa-chan and Koretty came out. They waved at us when we cheered. Five more minutes later, Rika and Yossi came out. Rika was wearing a long floral dress and was looking very cute. Yossi was wearing a stylish-looking black cap and had her long hair tied up. She looked, as always, stylish in black vest and jeans. They turned and slightly nodded in recognition when we cheered 'Rikachan' 'Yossi'. I remember Rika's smile. But I didn't see Konno. There were many girls in the first batch. Maybe she left together with them. My mission to wait for her had failed.
Someone replied that Konno was among the large group that left first.

Rika @Gokigenyou
Rika in Gokigenyou was truly entertaining.
There are things about Rika we should now know.
* Rika loves her family right profile. Whenever she is out with her mother or sisters, Rika always walk on the right as she carries her bag over her right shoulder. So, she always see her family right profile. Thus she loves it, because whenever she sees it, it means she's together with them.
* Rika loves karaage (deep-fried food), dislikes live birds, and is very particular about the juices she drinks.
16th Jun topic: Idol Gap 10
Rika was asked to name 10 changes in her (being an idol).
1. Oyaji kusai - She uses 'old men' languages.
2. Osake nomu - She drinks sake. Before she only drinks umeboshi, but recently she enjoys wine.
3. TOILET iku - She will go to the washroom. This drew laughter from the audience but the host knew what Rika was trying to say because apparently in Japan, Idols don't visit public washrooms.
4. Private wardrobe is out of fashion - Last time she always heard members say that her dressing was bad. When she went shopping, she would just buy the whole set on a mannequin since she thought it must be good if it was on display. Nowadays, her younger sister is her clothes coordinator. Her younger sister would tell her straight that her choice of clothes is bad or lousy. She thinks her younger sister has very good fashion sense.
5. Senbei suki - They didn't go into this. It simply means she likes to eat senbei now.
6. Sensou eiga miru - She watches war-theme movies. She always prefer documentary over love movies.
17th Jun : DOHYA~
(note: I may be wrong in some translation because she talked too fast for me)
I don't know what the topic means but Rika talked about being bullied when young.
Case 1: Rika remember during her Primary 3 school days that her class had 15 students. Once, one of the students birthday was approaching and she realized she wasn't invited to the birthday party. Actually two weren't invited, but it turned out it was because the other girl couldn't make it as she was away. When Rika told her mother about being left out, her mother told her 'Don't go then' as if it wasn't a big deal. However, when Rika celebrated her birthday, her mother had told her to invite everybody from the class, and they all came.
Case 2: Rika loved to collect erasers, such as those fruit and vegetable-shaped ones that smell like the real thing. Once, she brought a collection of it to school and it got stolen. She let the matter go, but one day when she went to a classmate's place she found her rubber collection there. Although she didn't approach her classmate, her classmate, too, hadn't bother to return or apologize for the theft. When Rika got home, she told her mother about her stolen erasers but was scolded instead for searching around people's home. The host interrupted and felt Rika's mother had done the right thing instead of sympathizing and saying how pitiful Rika was, an action that would turn the child into a whiner. The host then asked Rika if she is now grateful to her mother, Rika agreed whole-heartedly.
Case 3: After school, Rika would take the bus home with 3 or 4 other classmates. One time, she couldn't find her friends at the bus-stop and went around searching for them. Then she called home and told her mother that her friends were missing and her mother told her to wait where she was. As Rika's home was near the bus stop, her mother then stood outside waiting. When Rika's friends really came back without Rika, she approached them and asked "Where's Rika?". Rika's friends fumbled with their answers and apologized, then she said "Next time, please wait for Rika" and went and fetch Rika, who had been waiting for an hour. The host felt Rika's mother had handled the situation well.
Back then, Rika didn't feel that she was bullied; in fact, she thought her childhood days were happy. Only now when she recounted such incidents and her listeners told her "You're being bullied!" that she realized she was a victim of bullying. Thus the host thinks Rika has a great mother.
18th Jun: Kikkake (explanation: an excuse to change)
For Rika, it was 'chain', door chain.
"I live alone now, but before, I lived with my older sister. Because of work, my older sister often came home later than me. I would be asleep by the time she got back, and she would chain up the door. But there were times when I would get home later than her and would find the door chained from inside. Then I had to call her and she would come open it, apologizing. When it happened not once but twice consecutively, I told her "stop it please" as it was late and the kachan kachan noise the door made against the chain restrain would disturb the neighbours. Then the 3rd time came. It was very late at 3am in the morning and I found myself locked out again. I called her cell phone but she's asleep, dead to the world. Then I called the house's phone and despite the loud ringing, she would not wake up. I was desperate to get in as I was very tired so I called up our mother, and it was 3am. She answered and wondered what's wrong. I told her "I couldn't get in because sister chained up the door, WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?" and became angry at her instead. Then my mother said my sister had two cell phones and I could try both numbers. I said 'Wait a minute, I never knew sister had another cell phone number." My mother said she would try calling and sure enough, my sister woke up and opened the door for me. I was so angry that I told my sister never to chain up again, but she objected. So I am now living alone.
Host: "You stopped living together with your sister because of this matter?"
"Well, not really, there are other things."

いしよしアタック！！
Yossi and Rika had sent flowers to Makoto to congratulate her new musical.
Wait! In case you're wondering there's no big deal about it, because it is just some flowers sending, think again after you have seen the picture shot.
JOINT names!!!
They sent one together~
Wait! In case you're wondering there's no big deal about it again because they had worked together for Tokyo Alice and it might be the company who had sent it on their behalf, think again after you have seen the next picture shot.
This then is the flower sent by their company on behalf of Morning Musume.
Obviously, both flowers are from different florist, the biggest giveaway is the fonts used.
And~ never before had individual members of the big h!p family sent flowers to other members privately.
(Me says...) Now, this is something to talk about. Are you feeling your adrenalin rush? Haha~ >_<

GATAS sacas public practice (17th Jun)
http://www.futsaldigest.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=202
Koretty said that she had never felt that exhausted before in a practice.
When Yossi made fun of Rika and introduced her as "the person who had no stamina", Rika pulled up her jersey collar and hid her face in shame.
According to more blog reports, Yossi and Rika were really (and I mean really) stuck to each other throughout the whole event.
(Me says...) Have you ever seen Yossi shown that much interest in a girl other than Rika? And it has been GOD damned TEN years. Even you won't show that much enthusiasm in your very very best friend after ten years right? Someone is definitely courting someone.

Tsuji's birthday party
Rika was at Tsuji's birthday party. According to Tsuji, Rika appeared wearing her GATAS uniform, and Tsuji was very happy that Rika had turned up for her birthday bash. Apparently, Rika is the only h!p member who attended the party.
(Me says...) Ever since all the hoo-ha that was caused whenever Rika and Yossi were mentioned being together in some private gatherings - usually from fellow h!p members' blogs - I have a hunch that I might never read about them hanging out together in private again. Soon, I even have this funny notion that sometimes Yossi may be there too, but was purposefully left out in the girls' blog reports, as if they all knew about the pair's 'don't ask, don't tell' situation. Yeah... my wishful thinking~ >_<

GATAS sacas public practice 10th Jun official report
http://www.gatas-brilhantes-hp.net/news/news090615_1.html
GATAS 2nd Sacas public practice report. Rika, Konno and someone else (sorry for not knowing her name) arrived later.
(Not in the report, but from a fan's blog) Upon arrival Rika walked into the court bowing and apologising. When she wanted to start practicing right away, the coach stopped her and had her do warm up at the side first.
Later, when doing her closing speech, Yossi wished fans will come practice in the Sacas courts as GATAS will too. They will practice together. When the crowd went 'ehh~' and Rika tsukkomi back 'together, as in really together?' Yossi said: "I mean since it's the same court, fans will feel like they are practicing together with GATAS. This fan also noted how Rika and Yossi were always sticking to each other after Rika had arrived. Even their actions seemed sychronized.
And in case you wanna know...
Turnout at Rika's talkshow at a Electrical carnival was pathetic. Fans noticed that the audience were mainly ojisans who seem like they have all the time in the world and nothing to do.
(Me says...) Doing such shows are really depressing... especially when it feels like you are performing to an unappreciative and inattentive crowd.

hAngry&Angry @SakuraCon episode 6
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=58861893
Episode 6 is up!
(Me says...) This vid is the best, with Yossi's you're-not-going-away grope around Rika's neck, the hug backstage and Rika sharing Yossi's towel like it was the most natural thing to do~
Finally, Rika is just so moe~ when she's sulking besides Yossi saying "I wanna do it again, I wanna do it again RIGHT now". I wonder how many times she has done it on Yossi.

In another fan's blog, s/he mentioned how s/he noticed Rika, who turned up late for Wednesday's practice, is the mood maker of GATAS. Before Rika's arrival, everybody was looking serious, especially Yossi (blogger noticed) who was looking every bit a captain and behaving prim and proper; the playing mood was solemn. But after Rika had arrived, the overall playing mood began to loosen up and even Yossi was smiling more. They tsukkomu one another and at the side bench, they were always talking happily. Last week, Rika with Miki was fun to watch too, that's what s/he likes about GATAS.
