Description: "Here's a new HPS release to start off the month! This is a solo appearance of Biyuuden's Ishikawa Rika from about two weeks ago on the TV show 'Doumoto Kyoudai'. The entire segment is focused on her (and if you look closely, you can see that she's a bit nervous about it)."

"First, Rika is asked a few questions, such as 'What was your nickname as a child?', 'If you didn't become a member of Morning Musume, what would you be doing now?', 'What is the one thing you just can't stand?', and more. She gives some pretty entertaining answers."

"The next segment is called 'Teach the Doumoto! Yo-yo Rika-chan yo!', where Rika gets to display the yo-yo talents she learned while training for the upcoming movie, 'Sukeban Deka'."

"Finally, there is a look back on other singers like Rika; They don't sing well in the traditional sense, but their voices have an enjoyable quality that you can't quite put a finger on. The show's finale is a performance of one of those featured songs, France Gall's 'Yume Miru Shanson Ningyou', sung by Rika."
