"..stop me if you've heard this one before:
An idol♥, a counter terrorist agent and the Easter Bunny..
..hop~* into a bar….."
…Oops~! wrong "24" (*´艸`)！！！
Something tells me that that would be amusing though
…(^q^)! You know, finding out that the Easter Bunny drinks!! I wonder though…..after all of these years of constantly being asked how did you and the egg~* become one?…do you secretly~* actually lay eggs~*? And aren't those chocolate bunnies yummy?..well not to me but, well….that would explain the bar thingie~ (。ーωー。)。

The included making of DVD for "24 twenty four" once again reminds me of how no matter how much time passes~ or how mature Rikachan becomes….she will seemingly always own such an adorable~♥ anime voice~**!! Truly one of the very best~!!
The 19 minutes take you along for her daily photo shoots in both Yokohama and Okinawa and although I'm partially biased to love♥ her previous shashinshuu "Karen" as Rikachan was on Oahu, Hawaii♥ for its production, here with "24" we're treated to such a *beautiful~* light of Rikachan…one which has been much more reserved in her past pb releases~ as the overall image this time is of a much more ladylike~* and mature statement.
But not to worry~!!…as that very familiar and most endearing~* Rikachan♥ *charm*….or "Charmy" personality is never too far away as even when dressed in the most elegant~* or sultry of wardrobes, it inevitably always shines through so much! o(*´∀｀)o゛♥♥♥。
So here with Charmy's♥ 10th solo shashinshuu (or 11th if you include "Angels" although it was joint~cuteness* with Sayumi♥ then) "24 twenty four" I've scanned 60 of my most favorite photos just below~ ＾ ＾。
The first half or so of her shashinshuu was shot in Yokohama as Charmy♥ is showing a most beautiful~* longer hairstyle while in her latter photo shoots in Okinawa she then opted for an adorable~* bob cut (*´∀｀*)！
Hm…and there's something so *sexy* about her slightly ratty top which she's wearing during a latter part of her Okinawan shoot~…and just in case you've not found ratty to = *sexy* or provocative** before, Charmy♥ may have just the remedy** for that (￣▽￣)。。。。
And a tiny bit from the accompanying "making of DVD"…

Rika-chan is absolutely gorgeous. I have always been a big admirer of her. Her angelic face makes me want this photo-book so much all i can say is WoW when i looked upon the scans you put up.

While some of her fellow Momusu/H!P members may have taken a tiny bit of time to develop~, Rikachan truly debuted as *kawaii*!! I remember watching Gen.4 on programs such as "Morning Musume no heso" and just being so wowed by Rikachan's early *cuteness~* ＾ ＾。Aww that's so sweet~♥ of you! I'm so happy that you'll be supporting her too and I'm really glad to see a graduate of H!P still receiving shashinshuu love~♥ (*´∀｀*)。

She's so great! Really interesting to hear her interviews.
