Whether you love her, tolerate or just can't stand her she is the last of the Gokkies, last of Morning Musumes "Golden" years and now Leader for at least a year. Known as the "Happy Girl" in her youth, her now embrassing eyebrow beam & pigtails she has come a long way finding herself Senpai to both Momusu along with Hello!Project now that Takahashi Ai has left us. Being a fan of the Gokkies of course I'm happy for her to have a chance to shape Morning Musume in her own image. Ai-chan is & will always be a great leader, but now Risa plate is quite full now starting the 10th Generations trainning while finishing / oversee'ing the 9ths. Of course she has help as all previous leaders have. My point is, since Iida Kaori, a lot pressure & weight will be on her shoulders. I have complete faith she will pull it off being so dependable, reliable, a rock that never breaks, but known to weep. Most can't stand her voice *not mentioning names*, though while admitting she doesn't have the greatest voice she does make use of what she has. I for one love her voice, her love of performing & her explosive energy on stage rallying up the fans.
As much as some fans take her for granted a little voice inside me screams "You will miss her when shes gone!". Nothing against Sayumi, but it's going to take time adjusting to her becoming leader. Well enough defending Risa haha *grabs a dagger with a frenzy look in his eyes looking the readers over just waiting* Just kidding! But are you sure about that? Haha! 8)>
This is the part where I throw in a lot of Risa solo's so you can X out now...
Once again A Happy 23rd Birthday to Niigaki Risa 8)
