Gaki Comes Home...

... to Ham's house that is *grins*

Risa's ~Mahalo~ PB taken in Hawaii gets!! This was released on 14 July 2010. But I only brought it home yesterday on 27 July 2010.

Usually I get my PBs either online or directly from the bookstore depending on if I have the extra cash to make a pre-order. This time I didn't hence I had to wait some time before bringing my beloved Gaki-san home :)

I wasn't expecting to buy it yesterday though since I was out with my sis and she has this grudge against MM and Risa in general. She never misses the opportunity to diss her :( Anyway, we happened to go to the mall where a branch of my fave bookstore was located. Heading over to the rather small PB section (the store in town has a bigger selection) I was surprised to see Mahalo smiling at me from the top shelf. It's almost as if she was waiting for me to take her home :P

Sadly, I put her back since I didn't wanna buy it there and get into a quarrel with sis. What was unexpected was that she actually told me to buy it! Her exact words were, "you are gonna buy it anyway so just get it now. " I was really happy when I went to pay. Having her call me 'carrot' for the rest of the day was a small price to pay. If you understand the local lingo you'll get why I'm a carrot to her *sigh*

The Cover

I have not seen a pic of the back cover yet so I'll most probably take a shot of it when I can and post it up along with the pages in the PB that I like ^_^

Now for some screen caps of the making of DVD that comes with the PB.

She was moving a lot here so I couldn't take more caps. I can feel her excitement overflowing and I wonder why she is so hyped this time as compared to the previous times where she had a PB shooting. Ah I know, because Ai-chan is waiting for her in their room after she's done for the day. It could be possible, as the husband and wife pair came a few days earlier than the rest of the members.

I like this outfit. Gives her a sunshine girl feel (the yellow bikini is a plus). Are those her pockets which are peeking out from under her jumper? Strange design ne~

Gaki: This ham tastes yummy!

Me: Awww shucks, you don't have to say that out loud *shuffles feet* <--- XD Yeah, apparently I'm in my nut mode again

A girl in deep concentration is always so good to look at. The great view of her tummy is awesome too :P

Gaki sitting atop the washing machine. I guess this means she ain't that heavy after all? Otherwise the machine would have broken down XD

The way she looks into the screen here is too adorable. I wanna pinch her cheeks and give her a good cuddle :)

Blowing bubbles? Or practicing how to pucker her lips in anticipation of meeting Ai tonight? :D

This shot is too sexy and I don't even know why ^^; My jaw just slacked when I saw it.

Gaki by the pool and in it. I LOVE her hair in the 2nd pic.

The black bikini doesn't flatter her that much but she still looks good. I mean, she does look better than a lot of people doesn't she?

Oooh, braided hair. It's amazing how the stylists do it? Makes Risa look pretty + cute. The perfect combination :)

Holy...look at those legs....

Sleeping Risa. She looks so blissful and serene. How nice would it be if I was a student sitting at the next table. I'll spend the whole day just staring at her.

Side view shot. Still pretty as can be. She even looks cute from the top! I think it's not exaggerating to say Gaki is a real cutie.

I just went wow at this point. It's almost as if an angel was descending the stairs. I love the way she walked down and her little smile.

The bicycle she was with look pretty big. It just goes to show how tiny Risa is in real life.

What would I give to get to eat shaved ice prepared by the bean. Though I felt scared for her when I saw how unsure she was handling the machine. If she was really a worker at the ice shop, the queue would be super long going by how 'fast' she makes them :P

Damn! Her clothes really isn't safe for this action. I could almost see down her top! @@

Risa deep in concentration again. Why is she so darn sexy!?!? XD I like the white shirt. Is this what the people who work in the shop wears? Can I buy that? :D

Back shot of Gaki-san in the cute white tee and faded denim shorts. I laughed when I saw this scene not because there was anything wrong with this picture. I just happened to remember what took place when I was out with my parents and sis one day some time back.

Dad: Why are there 2 white patches on your butt?

Me: Eeek!??! Nani nani uso!!! <-- This went off in my mind at about 90 miles a minute. Then I realized he was referring to the pattern on the shorts. They were similar to the above.

In the end, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It's a design? -_-; I should really remind myself to not wear anything "funny" when out with parents next time.

No reason for taking this cap. I just liked how she looked in it :)

Am I weird cuz my dream car is a Volkswagen Kombi? I've always liked the design of it and now that Risa is sitting in one, my goal in life is to buy this exact one that she has sat in!!! Lol, yesh, I guess I am still crazy to think of something like this. I've told this to my mom and sis before. And their reactions were, "why do you want such a big vehicle" and "I doubt you can park the thing." Any idea who said what? XD

Wow weeeee~~ Just one word...hawt :D

I wanna be the sand!! XD Or the person gazing at her while she points that finger at me :D If I can't be either of that, then I don't mind Ai being the one XD

Sexy...

... and even more so...

Tee hee, isn't this angle of her cute? I like her hair to be wet like this :)

Cute mouth spotted! Her duck lips are cute, so is this. Yes, cute cute CUTE!! 6 times of the word cute still isn't enough to describe adorable Gaki.

I'M OFFICIALLY IN LOVE WITH RISA!!! I say this like I wasn't before XD But I was, I am still and I will always be...in love with her :) Can she keep her hair tied like this more often? I not only wanna pinch her cheeks and hug her when she looks like this, I wanna kidnap her and keep her in my pocket! I also wanna steal that jacket :P

Ending bit with another cute expression. Gaki says she has never been to a beautiful place like this. Ah huh, neither have I. I'm guessing this jetty leads out from the house she took the PB photos in? It would be nice to live in a wonderful home like this. Especially if the mistress of the house is this particular Niigaki :)

Please Purchase Alo Hello 4, Onegaishimasu~

I'm soooooooo sorry!! Please forgive me Gaki-san! *falls onto hands and knees* Why is it that I started this blog because of my love for you and I call it 'Mame & Friends' yet I find that I gush more about a certain turtle and bunny than I do you? *hides face behind hands*

This time as I was watching the clip of KameMame promoting the Alo Hello 4 PB in their Seishun Collection outfits, I can't help but find that Eri is cuter. She has adorable expressions and I find myself unable to take my eyes away from every single one of her actions. Even the way she tilts her head I find alluring.

I think one of the main reason why my eyeballs are this attracted to her is because of her hair? Doesn't Kame have great hair? (both style wise and color too). I love it when she curls it this way. If I were a shampoo manufacturer I would totally request for her to become the spokesperson for my hair product :)

But I did noticed some Risa related things too. For example, she talked about her pinky ring (which sadly seems to be lost :( NOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~). Why am I so uptight about her losing a piece of jewelry? It's cuz she bought it in Hawaii and all TakaGaki fans unanimously wish that it's one half of a pair of couple rings. With the other half belonging to leader. (Although I don't think they are couple rings since the designs aren't the same. Still I can wish right? ^^;)

Other omame things I observed are, her cleavage :P Gomen! But it was pretty obvious whenever she leaned forward.

Like so...

And so...

This reminds me of how she and Eri both leaned front quite a number of times during the Nico clip. I must declare my innocence here. I DO NOT stare at their cleavages more than normal. It's just that that little detail was more apparent on these two occasions ^^;

While watching the clip, I was surprised that they didn't get up to any crazy antics as that's what usually happens when these 2 are paired together. Thus I did wonder if they were tired and hence weren't in the mood to fool around.

Just as I had given up on expecting some form of hilarity, it did occur. From 6:11 min, Gaki-san's 'HA?!' and her act of smacking Eri across the shoulder were pretty funny, lol.

This pic that Gaki is holding up I like. I hope it's included in the PB.

I think I heard them say Twenty-One year old group? Does this mean the two 1988 girls will have shots together? Yippee~~ I was already delighted with TakaGaki pictures. With KameMame ones as well I'll definitely be a happy fan (^_^)

This isn't the only time I've seen Risa pull on her lips like this. I think it's one of her habits. Just like rubbing her nose with her finger. Yep, I do pay attention to my bean :D

Oh look! Out of all the pictures that were available, Risa chose Ai's to hold up. THAT HAS GOT TO MEAN SOMETHING!! No matter what, the person whom she has spent the longest time with always has a special space in her heart. And she would unwittingly mention her. She did say something about Ai and Reina but I don't know what they were as my Japanese language comprehension ability is nearly nil :(

Kame looks rather serious going through the pile of pictures again and again. What could she be looking for?

And at 2:46 min, Eri started with her 'finger gun' action which led to Risa doing it back at her. It's cute :)

Time to round up the talk. And as usual, Gaki is the one to do it. I don't think Eri minds judging from the imaginary mic she held up. Doesn't she look half asleep? XD She is probably looking down though, she does that a lot.

Watch out for them fiddling with their fingernails at 6:22 min. Isn't it amazing that they both did it at the same time?

And finally...

Onegaishimasu~

Tee hee at Eri's mouth being open in the screencap. She was saying the 'ma' in onegaishimasu in a rather exaggerated manner :D
