Rika appears on the cover of the current latest July issue of the monthly Temmon Guide (“Temmon” meaning “Astronomy”):

She seems to like astronomy – in a recent blog entry, she posted pics of Saturn and blogged that she was overjoyed by being able to see the ringed planet with her naked eyes. ^___^

Rika Has Moved to Another Artist Group

RikaChicchi — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:48:59 +0000

As I have already talked about it in the chat box here earlier, Rika has moved from the “Sun Music Brain” to “Sun Music Production” group of artists within her agency. This has also been officially announced by the Sun Music Group President himself on his blog, where he also reveals that the move has taken place with effect from May 1, and wishes her to become, in his words, a big pillar of Sun Music. He also posted a blog photo of himself and Rika at the agency:

We also wish Rika every success after this new arrangement! ^___^

[EDIT]

Another photo of the Sun Music President and Rika at his office, posted on his blog earlier this year:

Rika as a Credit Card Image Girl: New Pic

RikaChicchi — Sun, 23 May 2010 13:33:33 +0000

In my April 1 update, I mentioned about Rika’s being appointed as the image girl for the credit card operations of the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group. Now you can see her appearing on the hanging ads inside the trains of the Yamanote Line, a circular line running in the heart of Tokyo – doesn’t she look lovely on it? ^___^

The Woman Who Is Not Bent

Here is a short clip of Rika as a cashier getting yelled at by a customer in The Woman Who Is Not Bent. It’s the very last episode of this series. I am not sure what they are saying but I bet RC can tell us. lol [EDIT by RC: That customer was suspected of shoplifting but nonetheless yelled back at the cashier (Rika), saying that he had just forgotten to put the item from his pocket into the basket and complaining about the staff training of that supermarket - my poor Rika. T_T ] Goes to show that her agency doesn’t update her profile very well. Either way enjoy the video and screen shots. Thank you RC for the heads up and Mike for trying to help me. You are great helpers!! ^^

Rika Is Engaged!

RikaChicchi — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 01:18:11 +0000

Among the five PGSM Senshi girls, Izumi Rika (Mizuno Ami / Sailor Mercury), the youngest among them, is the first one to be engaged! What a surprise – I have always thought the first one would be Kitagawa Keiko (Hino Rei / Sailor Mars)! She has not announced her wedding date yet, nor has she mentioned about her fiance – I am eager to know who the lucky guy is! Anyway, my big congrats to our Senshi of Water and Intellect! ^___^

Rika, Sawai, and Ayaka attending a fashion fair, greeted by two press staff (I suppose) of the fashion brand:

Note how tall Rika is now – the short, skinny 14-year-old junior high girl we saw at the beginning of PGSM has now become a big, tall young woman. ^^
