Rika Ishikawa, her birthday concert

After celebrating her birthday on Ustream (with Sayumi Michishige as a surprise guest), Rika Ishikawa held two special concerts in the live house STB139.
Many fans were waiting even if it was freezing cold outside!


STB139
As soon as the public sat, they began to eat and then Rika came on stage with a support band, really talented. The music style was jazzy, funky and even rock!!!

She introduced herself to the fans and made a "kanpai (= cheers) pyon".

About the concert itself, she sang some covers of Morning Musume。like Morning Coffee (モーニングコーヒー) but she surprised everyone with many covers of Chara, My Little Lover and... "Rusty Nail" of X Japan!! I think nobody thought Rika was able to sing this song, but it was explosive and everyone was amazed by her voice and charisma!
Some fans made the famous X with their arms, really crazy moment ;)

She answered some fans questions during MCs and talked about the Dream Morning Musume。, her new photobook, etc.

Rika gave to her fans a really nice present with those special birthday shows and succeeded by mixing lots of styles. She was not just a singer, but also an entertainer, a pianist (she took some lessons), etc.
Well, if you have the possibility to see one of her concert, do not miss this chance \o/

Of course, I couldn't finish this article like this, here is a picture as usual just for the blog!!
