Hikaru Shida Injury Update

nwa-jpp.com has just learned the full extent of Hikaru Shida's injury. What was originally thought to be a shoulder separation has been found to be much more serious. Hikaru underwent an x-ray last night and a MRI this morning. Both scans show that Hikaru has suffered a torn rotator cuff.
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles in the shoulder, connecting the upper arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula). The rotator cuff tendons provide stability to the shoulder; the muscles allow the shoulder to rotate.
The tendons connecting Hikaru's humerus to the supraspinatus and subscapularis muscles on the front of her shoulder were completely torn.
Hikaru will be transferred to the Hong Kong Jockey Club Sports Medicine and Health Sciences Centre for the surgery to reattach the tendons.
Best wishes for Hikaru can be posted on JPP or Hikaru's Facebook pages.

Everyone is on the ferry back to Hong Kong after tonight's house show in Macau. Asami Konno takes a seat beside Miyako Matsumoto.

Asami - I know it must have been difficult for you to get in the ring tonight. Thank you for doing such a great job.
Miyako - I was far from great; I missed quite a few spots.
Asami - No one would have noticed. Have you got any news about Hikaru?
Miyako - Nothing new since this morning. If they'll let me, I'll try to go see her tomorrow morning.
Asami - Would she like some flowers?
Miyako - I'm gonna bring her iPod and a few clothes.
Asami - She's obviously going to be out of action for quite a while. Do you know anyone that you'd be comfortable working with that we could bring in? Maybe that other girl who was in that tv show with you and Hikaru
Miyako - Tsukasa is cool but we have another friend who could be a lot of fun to work with. She's practiced with us a few times.
Asami - Who is she?
Miyako - Her name's Julie Watai, she's a model, photographer, dj, singer, otaku, game geek, hardware girl, and model.
Asami - You said model twice!
Miyako - She models as herself and as another personality.
Asami - Sounds like quite a few of the girls here already.
Miyako - She has some videos online. want to see?
Asami - You've got me intrigued. Let me see.

Several of the girls are sitting around watching tv after dinner. There is a knock at the door, Miyako goes to answer it. She comes back a minute later with a box.

Miyako - A box for you Hikaru. It's from your mom.
Hikaru - Wonder what she sent me. Can you open it for me.
Miyako - Sure... (opens the box)
Hikaru - Ohhhh it's Benny Bjorn, my Abba bear (hugs the bear) I thought he was gone.
Miyako - There's more in there.
Hikaru - Mmmmm some Pocky, strawberry, chocolate. and cookie crunch. Mom always got me Pocky when I was sick.... Ohhhh cool my Nintendo Game Boy and games.... even Osawagase! Penguin Boy

Most of the girls are waiting at the ferry terminal after tonight's house show in Macau.

Riho - Where are Chii and Natsuki? They vanished after our opening match.
Toshie Uematsu - They went to one of the casinos. They said they'd be here. If they miss this ferry, they have to pay for their own tickets.

Chii and Natsuki enter the terminal. Chii is dancing around and cheering as loud as she can.

Toshie - I really hope they weren't drinking. Being drunk and acting like that is a really dumb idea, especially when you're a champion.
Chii - Chill out grandma. I'm jacked because I won.
Toshie - I know we won our match. It's no reason to act like a fool.
Chii - Yeah yeah, we won the match. I'm talkin about the casino... I won!!!
Toshie - What did you win?
Chii - WOOO WOOOO.... I was playing a slot machine and won the Macau Millions jackpot. Look at the cheque!
Toshie - 3,354,552.00 Pataca... how much is that in Hong Kong Dollars.
Chii - WOOOO WOOOOO it's a *beep*in lot in Hong Kong. I'm gonna party all night!
Toshie - Where we gonna party?
Chii - We who grandma!

[nwajoshi]

It's a day off for all the girls. Most are out, doing whatever they want. A few are just hanging out getting some sun on the deck. Asami comes out on the deck

Asami - Chii just called, she's downstairs in the driveway, she wants everyone to come down.
Hikaru - Did she say why?
Asami - No, but she sounded happy. Let's go see what she's up to.

A half dozen or so girls head downstairs in the elevator and head out to the driveway.

Chii - TADAAAAA!!!!!!



Asami - What in the world is that Chii?
Chii - It's my brand new 50ccc Mojo Scooter Trike! Isn't it sexy!
Miyako - That's so cool! How fast does it go?
Chii - It only does the speed limit *giggle*
Toshie - I hope you got a helmet and insurance.
Chii - Of course I did grandma. I got two helmets. Anyone wanna ride?
Miyako - Oh oh oh me! Can I?
Chii - (tosses a helmet) Put that on and let's go.

Miyako puts on the helmet and gets on the scooter behind Chii. Chii turns it on and revs the engine.

Miyako - Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Today's training is winding down, only a handful of girls are left at the dojo.

Yoshiko Tamura - Do you think she's ready?
Mizuki Endo - There's only so much you can learn with other trainees. There's a point when you have to get into the ring in real action with fans in the seats.
Yoshiko Tamura - Who can we trust with her in the ring?
Mizuki Endo - We can trust Toshie Uematsu to work with her.
Yoshiko Tamura - Lisa, come on over here.

Lisa Cheng - You wanted to see me sensei?
Yoshiko Tamura - We've been very impressed with how far you've progressed. We think you're ready to workin a real match with fans in the seats
Lisa Cheng - Really!
Mizuki Endo - We'll have you do dark matches while wearing a mask until the promotions department can build up your debut
Lisa Cheng - What will the promotions department do?
Yoshiko Tamura - Come back to the apartments for dinner and we can talk with Kimiko about some ideas.
Lisa Cheng - Thank you so much

Toshie Uematsu is a beast and a great veteran. I like the idea of starting her under a mask to get her some experience. Very nice.

ASK JPP

Who is your favorite martial artist?

Syuri - Yukari Oshima is my favorite. She has done films in Hong Kong and TV shows in the Phillipines. She fights more intensly than most men do in action films.

Lin Bairon - Well, you're looking at her. I'm the greatest martial artist of all time! Once I become the Queen of Legends, The Shaw Brothers and Michelle Yeoh will owe me an apology!

Kana - I know that I'm going to get Lin Bairon ticked off for saying this but my favorite is Michelle Yeoh. She adds class and style to her films and has earned the right to be the highest paid actress in Hong Kong. She once did a movie with Jackie Chan called "Police Stoary II: Supercop" and matched him stunt for stunt. I think that her motorcycle jump onto a moving train was one of the best stunts of all time. Sorry, Jackie!

Martini Ip - I'd have to go with Moon Lee. She was a dancer before she got into action films. She fights with such grace and intensity that most people would probably never know. She's now running a Chinese Dance Performance Company that does shows in Canada. I'd love to go see one of those performances.

Chii Tomiya - Cynthia Rothrock is one of the few true martial artists to crossover to action films. Being a non-Asian making films in Hong Kong is usually quite a challenge but not for my girl Cynthia! When she made films in the USA, the directors had to ask her hold backbecause she was injuring the stuntmen!!!

Fang Tiaorong - Angela Mao is one of the best martial artists of all time. Her fight scene in "Enter The Dragon" was very good but her other films are great too.
