I think so too, she is good for the cute high pitches and monologues like in Shabondama.. Hence I wondered if it was just me And thus, the poll.
Guess that depends on your likes. I Like girls with short hair more than girls with long hair (usually..) So to me its totally droolage
^nah,, in viyuden Rika is okey^^ but Yui is better. and I dont like the fact that Viyuden is all Rika'd >.<
True, and okay - point taken on the Morning Coffee solo; perhaps its just me getting overwhelmed by her cuteness then biased,, i guess..
I liked Rika Ishikawa very much in the past, but now she and v-u-den are too vulgar for me, I'm a bit disapointed é__è So now I'm all for GYARURU~
^I also prefered the image Rika had from Morning Musume and the beginning of Biyuden. But still support her now, I like her too much, to be giving up on her, just because I don't like the image of Biyuden. Still like their music. and Rika is still cute and funny...
Contrary to...I guess everyone else here...I think that Rika is at her absolute coolest alone. Her voice really gained a lot more body after Ribon no Kishi, too. I'd buy a solo single/album/whatever in an instant. I love v-u-den, but I really wish she had a project with just herself on the side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXRICqT2Oks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg7-spXvjRI
Yes Rika has gotten a lot better, than when she was in Morning Musume. But still don't think she could manage a solo career. I'll probably buy her single/album too, to show my support this wonderful girl. But not really because I want her to have this career, I think she's fine in Biyuden, since she gets a lot attention in this group, and the voices of Yui and Erika can fill out some of the voice lacks of Rika. But no doubt Rika has improved, I also have the feeling she has worked hard. - A H!P member I want to have a solo career is Hitomi Yoshizawa, I'm praying every day for this girl to release a single....
NO!! but biyuuden is not a good group either she should try something with Yoshie *IsshiYosshie fans*
I also love the Ishi-yossie moments. Which are too rare in the moment. I like how there're soo different. (when it comes to their steotypes boyish vs. girlish) And Yossie always seemed to pick on Rika. But if they would be good in a unit together... I'm not sure. Personality wise, I would love to see them as a unit, and I would buy everything they would put out. But I'm fine with Biyuden, now UFA just needs to give Yossie a solo career..
I'm ok with biyuuden, but that group image too slutty which destroy Rika's image and it's very Rika centre, like Rika+Biyuuden aisu kurimu freaks me out and koi suru angel heart great but my friend, a boy, doesn't like the PV *and prefer aisu kurimu's O.O*
