Exile`90

The entire episode is dedicated to a graduating member: Ishikawa Rika. It’ll be everything Rika alwaya wanted to do on Hello!Morning.. Warning.. There’s gonna be lots of pictures.. I’ve ended up taking about 950 captures from this episode.. After 1st check I got down to 700.. After another run I got down to abou 460 pictures.. I’m not too sure how many of them I’ll use.. Who knows.. Maybe every single one..

The episode started with Rika’s monologue:

Followed by the MM girls taking Rika’s pictures:

I loved how after all the girls left Rika alone she looked sooooo lonely and going WTF?

Then the episode has really started:

Today’s cast:
Announcers: Yasuda Kei & Goto Maki! Special guests: graduated members: Iida Kaori, Abe Natsumi, Tsuji Nozomi and Kago Ai! And the Morning Musume girls.

And let’s not forget this special person:

Next up: Rika’s life before MM!

And then some flashbacks to early days of Rika in MM:

Next Goto announced a special VTR!

A ‘mysterious’ was talking about Rika for a bit:

And let’s just say Rika wasn’t too thrilled about the details:

This ‘mysterious’ guest was no one other than MKB’s Shibata Ayumi!

Both Miki and Reina had something to say too..

.. and Rika wasn’t too happy about that either!

Next on the menu: one of Rika’s favorite games: monomane! Flashbacks to previous Rika’s acts:

Her new act didn’t get any reaction in the begining but by the end the girls were laughing:

Everyone seems to be liking it.. Except.. Sayumi!!

She gave Rika only one gong (which in bunch of shows means ‘failed’)

But it seems like Sayu liked Tsuji’s impersonation:

Next: Flashbacks to Rika’s characters in the Park St. skits:

Ok, that’s enough for now.. I’ll get the rest of this online in an hour or two.. Or tommrow..
