Don't know if posted before but found on flickr (and the share option doesn't work so reposting) You can try on rakuten alternatively if you don't mind EMS shipping (haven't ordered from before, especially because of EMS )
thank demolidor. was pleasantly surprised to find a similar model in a local store under the model number G16007. the sales staff drew a blank when i asked if this is the adistar 200+. http://www.togj.com/item/446202/ sorry mods for off-topic. now back to reiko shiota
so cute http://www.gz2010.cn/info/ENG_ENG/ZB/ZBB101A_BD@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ENG_number=231459.html Badminton - SHIOTA Reiko - Biography SHIOTA Reiko NOC : Japan Gender: Women Birth Date: 30/09/1983 Height ( m / in): 1.66/5'5'' Weight ( Kg / lbs): 57/126 Events Inscribed: Mixed Doubles Member of IKEDA Shintaro/SHI..

Bid one Reiko's shirt Probably Japan only but nevertheless: http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c275571987?u=;joc_charity_2010
The shirt will no doubt fetch higher bids if Reiko assures you rabid fans that the shirt is un-washed. (oh well, it least it's for charity)
Haha no doubt ... That Miki Ando and Takahasi stuff is going through the roof on the other hand. Just goes to show how far down the ladder badminton is ... Ikeda's (bland) shirt down at the bottom while Takahashi's boots are up to €5000 already without the blades. Even the 'back to the future' softball cleats are fetching more ...
I want the Miki Ando one . Miki and Daisuke were world champions. I wonder how much Mao Asada's stuff will be worth. She's currently very popular.
I recently recorded one of their interviews and news about their retirement from a japanese tv station using my digital camera. Don't quite understand what are they talking about though, but it seems that kumiko ogura is coaching the juniors and giving some badminton clinic in Japan now. That show was about news and archivements of japanese female atheles though including the famous victory of that japanese lady winning the asian games 2010 atheltics 100 m race.. She's a big star in Japan now.
Kinda misses both of them playing, heard that they might be reuniting for a Charity gig... will see how it develope.
Reiko cut her hair To all Reiko's fans, what's your opinion on her short hair? http://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/f-sp-tp0-20110706-800785.html
Reiko's hair is still not short enough . I say that Reiko's hair is still not short enough. Short enough is when she does not need to tie up her hair when playing at tournaments. .
Gillian Clark did mention about Reiko doing her part in conserving electricity, in view of the Great East Japan Earthquake aftermath. Apparently, it takes 2 minutes to use the hairdryer for short hair, and 10 minutes for long.
