So, when I started Charmy Disco I was all "OH MAN I'LL HAVE MORE TO TALK ABOUT HERE THAN ON HAPPY DISCO". But that hasn't really happened yet. So. You'll have to make do with my absolute #1 favorite Rika OPV; I love how well it's put together and I've watched it multiple times because I just like it that much.
It's by a user on YouTube, RoumanCeSoiree who did this in 2006 and didn't do anything else, which is a real shame because this is one of my favorites. It has a lot of memorable moments in Rika history; Rika "going ganguro" in the H!M skit corner, "Trance Charmy", Rika with her famous wota Kagaku on Utaban (who was a producer of the show who's focal point was how much he loved Rika), etc. There are a few clips from PVs in there, but most of it's behind the scenes things and things from TV shows showing off the goofy and loveable Rika that the fans of her love.
So yeah, enjoy~
A worship blog dedicated to my #1 idol, Ishikawa Rika; any fangirlings I have now have a place here.

"It's Rika Time"- Serenyty is jealous
Note: I found these pics on JPHiP.com. If you like Rika, visit there, because it's amaazing.
Lately Rika's been doing dinner shows that have the cutest names to me; "It's Rika Time"? "Chu! Rika Party~" So adorable. It's at this point I am insanely jealous of all the Japanese wota out there who get to go to these dinner shows in a fairly small venue and eat dinner and watch nothing but Rika. The price tag for these events is pretty steep, but it definitely seems worth it.
Sooo at this point I'm hoping that when I study abroad (in about a year and a half, I think; I'm aiming for the second semester of my junior year) that Rika will still be doing these and I can go and it will be amazing.
Also, I don't know if everyone got them, but there are a lot of pictures of two-shots (pictures of fans posing with Rika), so if I got one of those I'm pretty positive I would cry of happiness. No joke.

Still, it seems pretty nice, these two-shots. The one thing that makes me infinitely confused is why no one has Rika do the "Gucha~" pose with them, which is holding the thumb and index finger in kind of an L shape next to your face. That's what I'd personally get if I was getting a two-shot with her.
Ah, well. I can always hope, and I'm REALLY hoping hard that I'll be able to go to one of these kinds of events when I'm in Japan.

Rika is Making an Appearance at the New York Anime Festival
I woke up this morning and, like most mornings, checked my email and my usual Japanese news sources; it's a bit of a habit now, because I know that most news in Japan pertaining to idols will be announced while I am asleep. And this morning, I was surprised to see a couple emails in my inbox with Rika's name on them.
Turns out that Rika is the special guest at the New York Anime Festival as Angry this October.
I immediately started to look up airfare before I realized I couldn't afford it.
Now, I REALLY want to go. I really do, and I'm actually asking my parents if going would be OK and if they'd help me do it. However, my chances of going are quite frankly quite slim. I am an unemployed college student, so deciding to go to a convention in the middle of the fall (when I have classes) about a month and a half away is not very feasible, especially since this is in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
Dropping $1000 (though I want to soooo much) on seeing Rika, when the only thing really confirmed about her appearance is that she'll be appearing at one or two panels isn't really possible for me. However, I'm keeping my eyes open and my fingers crossed and hopefully something will pop up and Rika will do autographs or something.
.... I REALLY want to go. Mmmmphhhhh.

Welcome to the Charmy Disco~~
Wooooooo!!! Charmy Disco~
As you have probably guessed, this is my new side blog to my idol review blog, Happy Disco, JUST about everything Ishikawa Rika.
Basically, when I'm thinking of things on the Happy Disco, I don't want to get TOO fangirly, and have an overflow of posts like "OMG look at this blog pic Rika posted it's so cuuute~~~" because, quite frankly, I want some semblance of professionalism in the reviews and posts I make on the Happy Disco. I want THAT space to focus on idol news and reviews and not me being all fangirly on everyone.
Unfortunately I DO get seriously fangirly and need to get that out somewhere, and sometimes I think my friends must feel like "OK, I get it, you really like Rika." So. Charmy Disco, yay!
