like I said earlier, there's not much going on between them whom I worship (or it's just that news hasn't reached me yet)... so not much to drool about... just old vids and pics...
i came across Rika's performance of the song Minato No Yoko Yokohama Yokosuka in Uta Doki...
some people say she did the song well (which i believe they thought so because she was technically speaking half the time)... anyway... i think she has this look... ... did i mention it here before? ... man... i can't remember... anyway... right before the chorus (the only part that is actually sung) she looks straight at the camera while "saying"/singing the last line of the verse...
~woo... *shivers* ...
she's so flexible (in more ways than one, lol)... i don't think everyone would agree with this but i think she's been placed in so many different units (i heard, in all H!P she's been in the most number of units, 15) because she easily changes character but is still the same character... confusing, right? ... i think she internalizes well... sweet, in Morning and Country Musume, she can be sexxxy in def diva and v-u-den, just plain fun in Gatas and in IshiYoshi moments ... ... ... ... or it's really just because i worship her... ... yeah... it's probably that... lol
but it's still no surprise to me that a many folks dislike her... insane skeptics, like an avid reader of this particular blog, among others hold some of these as their reasons:
-she's over acting (inauthenticity)
-she can't sing
-she's a commodified body
-she's not that pretty
-she's not their preferred partner for YOu-know-who
-she's not funny
-The Charmy-act is an act... it's like the condensed character of all the girliness containable in one person... It's an exaggeration for the sake of emphasis...
-This is an immortal observation of Rika... But she does have her moments... I have to agree she's among the weakest vocals... but I also think that she's really been trained by tsunku for that... being who he is, i believe he can train them to strengthen their vocals but deliberately choose not to... reasons: unknown...
-yes, yes, my dear skeptic... the term you coined (as far as my knowledge is concerned), "wota-whore", applies to this reasoning... my pop culture professor(i'm really taking a class in pop culture, btw) couldn't agree with you more... her stint with v-u-den strengthens this ... again, tsunku's grand design... (isn't it good that we have a tsunku to put the blame on when something in H!P goes amiss music-wise?)
-she's not that pretty... she has her looks and particular angles where she looks good in...can't contend with standards of beauty... too diverse...
-hahaha!
-another hahahah~!
