Graduated Team S - Hirata Rikako (Rikachan)

[mixedmedia]

Even though she looks a lot like MM's Koharu I like her 9000 times more than I disliked Koharu.

When one phone hanger JUST ISN'T ENOUGH.

They probably weigh more than her phone.

Rikako... you're slacking.

I tried to scan through the entire thread and don't think I saw this, but did you guys know Mary is Fujie's #1 favorite SKE member?

At the recent Yokohama Arena concert Fujie got to meet with her and they exchanged emails. Fujie was super happy. She said she plans to email Mary a lot.

[kingtheking81]

me like her too ,
i hope she'll get her solo song in a future stage, since she is the leader of team S

[muuh]

[blabla]
Today, out of nowhere, I realised I didn't know who are SKE's team captains. I mean, I don't even remember them being mentioned in any TV show I watched, so I thought they might not even have them.
The place where I normally look stuff up didn't have any information on this, so no help there either.
So good to have the STAGE48 wiki (and really, I only discovered this last week).
[/blabla]

During the auditions for Team S, she was one of the girls who stood out to me, because she was already as cute as any other idol. I have always thought she looked like an older sister, too, so her being captain makes me glad.

I don't really get, why she didn't make it to senbatsu, though. Hopefully she won't end up like CinDy.

I was watching some of the clips on SKE's YT channel, and after watching hers I decided to pop in here and check out more about her. She seems like the cute/friendly older-sister type, and was going to say she's in my top 5 for SKE, until I read:

her new catchphrase is cool.

Rikachan's Power MAKE UP!!!

you guys should get the reference.

OK, now she is my #2!! That reference is the best!!! Is anyone translating her blog? I can give it a whirl if not.

Off to look at her gallery now!

[Mr Waffle]

Is anyone translating her blog? I can give it a whirl if not.

ArcSkae used to do it, but then the SKE blog went member-only so they stopped doing it. So I suppose the answer is no, and yes yes yes please

[freakonboard]

Just to remind that her 2ch thread is a good place to find some of her old blog entries:

Thanks freakonboard for the link. I missed a few days so hopefully they'll be up there sometime.
I've been studying Japanese for over 10 years, but I'm not fluent so there may be times when I make mistakes. Mostly I think I translate too literally.

Here is today's entry:

(´-∀- ｀)☆

my break fast! (Trans note: this was in English ^^)
Today it's pancaaakes♪

It's what my heart desired(´-∀-｀)
Today's toppings:
[*]Maple syrup
[*]Melon cream
[*]Tuna mayo <-My sister's recommendation☆

Pancakes are sooo good(´;ω;｀)
It's kinda fairy tale-ish (laughs)

Right now Rikako has a highly recommended pancake house that I'm hooked on but...
That's something I'll talk about another time(´/∀＼｀)
American style is my eternal aspiration♪

Well then, let's enjoy today too☆

(●´∀｀●)
Note to self: today it's warm outside so it seems like it'll be a nice day...♪

I'm so craving pancakes now. Though I'm not sure about the tuna mayo. Her entries are too cute!

[Mr Waffle]

Tuna mayo... on pancakes... oh Rikako

Thanks for the translation!

[allisonmarie23]

Here's today's entry. I have a couple of older ones I saved that I'll translate too. One of them was from around the time Team E was formed, I'll try to get to those soon.

Story I forget to tell☆

Ah, now that I remember it, here's a little story.

I cut my bangs a little!
Did you notice?(´/д＼｀) ehe
This picture is from quite a while ago so you can't see it. Sorry(*´д｀*) (Trans note: She's talking about the pic she posted. I can't find a good way to save the pictures posted in the SKE blogs ._.)

Even if I say that....
I only cut them slightly(lol)

So if you're someone who realized I did it...
I recommend making Rikako your oshi(´;ω;｀)lol
In fact if you realized you're probably a huge fan(lol)

Just writing about various things.
Today I'm a little bit festive.(´-∀-｀)
Can it be transmitted from my blog??
There's no real reason.
But, there are days like this too.

Alright.
Tomorrow I'll do my best too!
Tomorrow I'll borrow a little bit of power from an energy drink (lol)
After I write this I'll do nothing but get lots of sleep!

Good night.

An older one ^^

It ish delicious☆


Rika's mama bought her 4 graprefuits~(´/ω＼｀)tehe♪

A few days ago I thought I wrote "I need to become a dieter, just a little bit!"
But of course I've been slacking(lol)
From tomorrow I'll do my best♪

Soon there will be the photo event in Nagoya.
Before then I will become cute~~~(´ー∀ー｀)
I'm looking forward to it♪♪

I'm going to sleep now(´ーェー｀)

(●´∀｀●)
Not to self:My stomatitis has been healed♪

I looked up stomatitis since I had no idea what it was, and it looks like it's one of those white sores you get in your mouth after biting your lip too hard.
And she's already very cute, no need to diet!
