mood: 
satisfied
music: buzzzzzz by the fan out side my door
I call it the "super-gen" (stupid name i know) because this is obviously the most successful and most loved generation in all of morning musume history so far. Consisting of Ai Kago, Nozomi Tsuji, Rika Ishikawa and Hitomi Yoshizawa this generation is full of character.

RIKA ISHIKAWA or charmy
Along with the rest of the 4th generation in 2000 Rika made her debut in Morning Musume with the single "Happy Summer Wedding".
When tsunku realised how much fans loved Rikas cute, clumsy and attractive personality he decided to put her into some sub-groups including Country Musume (where she released Hajimete no Happy Birthday) and Tanpopo. Though Rikas voice was not out-standing her appearance was and that is partly why she did so well later on. She was put into the 3-nin matsuri with matsuura aya and kago ai as part of the shuffle group project set up by tsunku. Other then being in these sub-groups her part in morning musume was very little.
It was only when Rika left morning musume in 2005 that she began to do well. In 2004 she had begun to lead her very own group called Vi-yu-den. She also picked up the position as host of Hello! Morning from Abe Natsumi. Vi-yu-den has done extremely well since releasing several singles. They try to give a "sexy"er feel to their movements and singing.
She was also placed in DEF.DIVA a group for "ultimate" singers. But in an Eric Kamezo episode (part of hello!morning) Rika was told she was out of place in an "ultimate" singers group.
