Ex-Morning Musume idol Rika Ishikawa confirms dating baseball pitcher Ryoma Nogami
Why do all the Japanese hotties go with sports stars?
From news readers to pop singers, everyone seems to want a sportsman for a husband. Cute ex-Morning Musume member Rika Ishikawa is no different.
After it was reported in some tabloids she has confirmed the rumors on her blog, and crushed our fantasies. She is indeed dating Seibu Lions pitcher Ryoma Nogami.
Nogami is a mere 27 to Rika’s 29 — the dangerous age when girls get serious about you-know-what.
These day the former Musume is named as a tarento rather than singer or idol. Sadly, with her career on the wane, Rika is surely looking for a guy to put a ring on her finger and pitch something into her.
What a shame. We love Rika’s knowing look, dyed brown hair and sensual body, and hoped we’d get to enjoy looking at it for a few years to come. With marriage on the cards, that likely won’t be happening much longer…
