Morning Musume. 13th album : ⑬ Colorful Character

[marippeTakacrotchi]

I wish Erina and Haruna wouldn't have changed colors - at least not yet - dark purple and "chocolate" would have looks really nice with these gaudy dresses.

They're like reject Iroppoi Jirettai dresses

The issues with Kanon is she WAS STICK THIN, now she is FAT. She is not chubby, she is not "healthy" - Kanon has gained A LOT of weight, and is now FAT - especially when you take into account Japan where everyone is a walking diet commercial. My japanese friend Sayuri said it best when I pointed out Kanon during the 1 2 3 live ... " eh...su..goi..."

Haruka being "a boy" is insulting, she's a very pretty girl - Kanon I also think is very pretty, but yeah - by Japanese standards - she is fat. And agreed on the girls needing a nutritionist, they clearly do not seeing as how the girls have ALWAYS fluctuated like crazy.

This comment is ridiculously obnoxious opinion stated as fact. Can we all just shut the fuck about this already?

They all look fine in their mullet dresses. There's a lot in the yellow/green/blue range so maybe when 11th gen gets here we'll have a little variety in color.

Colors for 11th gen:

Girl 1: Egg yolk.
Girl 2: Pikachu yellow.
Girl 3: Artichoke green.
Mogi: Wasabi green.

all the shorter girls are on the left following Mizuki. Mizuki would looks less tall if it were mixed up a bit more lol.

i like the look but Hello! Project has always done this.. they go with uniformity when variety would make the look stand out. for example juukies could have had miniskirts, kyuukies could have had skirts just above the knees, and SayuReina could have kept the long in the back look. also varying the tops a little bit, so some of them have short sleeves, some of them have no sleeves, etc.

i wouldn't call Zukki fat but she's noticeably bigger (even without comparing to the other girls, just to herself in a 6 month-1 year period). i don't go by Japan's assessment of what is considered fat because they are extreme.. if you can grab skin you're fat. their scale/judgment is warped, even taking into consideration that on average they are skinny/small. tbh i'm not worried about her physical health and but about her mental health, not only will she face self-criticism but also criticism from fans, comedians (because in Japan it's perfectly acceptable to point out & joke about someone's weight), and public in general because she stands out for that. so for her sake i hope she is able to slim down.

i also think Haruna is too skinny. she's naturally skinny, yes, but remember also when she joined she would talk about how she focuses on slimness, so i think it's also that that's the way she wants to look. i wouldn't mind except that it doesn't look good to me, what with her knees standing out like crazy and her arms being distracting. i wish her and Mizuki would trade 5-10 pounds, then both of them would look perfect. <3

not that i think Mizuki is fat (AT ALL) but homg she would be a straight up knockout when she gets a bikini body (just a bit slimmer at the waist and more toned overall). that might come naturally over the next couple years anyway, but damn. when it comes it will hit us like a ton of bricks.

This is a good post and needs to be reread.

Seriously, Kanon is not FAT. Not. Fat. Bigger yes. Gained weight. Sure. Chunky? Arguably. Fat? no. NO NO NO. I know fat. I'm pretty fat myself as a 5'6" girl with 200 pounds on her bones (I'm 50 pounds overweight). Kanon is maybe MAYBE, 15 pounds heavier than she was, MAYBE. If we look at her arms, they're the same size as the rest of the girls, her Torso (Not her boob area as she's top heavy) is fine. Her legs are big. OH OH NO. She's a dancer, her legs are now heavily muscled. Could she stand to lose 10 pounds? I guess, I'll only say yes because she's an idol and therefore in the spotlight and getting fucking scrutinized over something so small. I, like icey, and worried for her mental health. The Japanese aren't being kind either and I know she trolls the internet.

Haruna is too thin, her legs are FABULOUS but her arms are just way too thin. I get my case jumped on constantly for saying Harunan is too skinny, but it's perfectly acceptable to call a 14 year old girl fat.

Haruna's outfit looks smoking in brown by the way. I love the outfits because I'm big into the whole Steampunk thing, so I don't think their gaudy at all (Save for the fabric... why go with shiny fabric UFA, thats dumb). I think I'll actually get the dresses made for a steampunk event later on.

You rock sir/ma'am.

I heard someone was fucking talking about that Kanon girl's legs. Eri has big ass legs too so that's fucking retarded. What the fuck is up with commenting on this girl's weight. I don't give two shits about the Japanese standard because that shit is probably just as wrong as the BMI can be. It takes the social consensus of weight I'm sure and then stacks it up against their society. That's fucking retarded. That does not mean that she is unhealthy, that means she's not "normal Japanese weight". If that bitch starts getting muffin tops and heaves and huffs and puffs and has problems during her routines then sure she's out of shape and overweight. But I bet that "unhealthy" girl can put most of your fucking asses to shame in stamina, probably attributed to that little layer of fat she's got stored because I got a newsflash, studies show that people who are a little heavier are actually healthier and have a much better athletic momentum than skinny bitches.

you guys don't listen at all, seriously. i'm starting to hate this forum.

[iceymoon]

we'll listen to you when you're a mod. and i'm pretty sure it wouldn't be your first time hating JPM anyway..
this topic will get discussed left and right unless a mod bans it. it will always happen because it has always happened for as long as H!P has had noticeably bigger girls (which was always? lol). and if we weren't talking about weight, we'd be talking about hairstyles, or face shapes, or teeth.

unless there's a "Looks Discussion" thread it's applicable pretty much in any thread, because usually we're discussing it in response to a relevant photo.

btw i agree that i like the yellow & green better for this picture.. maybe yellow & purple would have been good too, but too lazy to photoshop lol. plus you can't beat the sentimental value of having the girl you idolize pass down her color to you.

[Celedam]

It's getting tiresome because it's repetitive and pointless. None of you are really paying attention to what anyone else says on the subject; you all have an opinion, and you all think the world needs to hear your opinion. So you all say the same things over and over and over again.

And dismissing someone simply because they're not a mod is childish. "You're not my <insert authority figure>, so you can't tell me what to do!" That's what children say.

Colors for 11th gen:

Girl 1: Egg yolk.
Girl 2: Pikachu yellow.
Girl 3: Artichoke green.
Mogi: Wasabi green.

And if Girl 3 complains that wasabi green is too close to artichoke green, Mogi gets to (arti)choke her.

All I can say is that it was a good thing that it was Haruka instead of Kanon who kicked the Kurobara guy in the head. Kanon would have put the guy in the hospital.

It's not a topic we are forbidden to talk about anyway, even if it displeases some people. So if someone says we shouldn't talk about something, why would we have to listen to them? Some people are stans. Saying Zukki's legs are bigger because she's a dancer is senseless; they all are, so if that made sense all their legs would be that size. They are not even comparable to Eri's thighs. Eri's weight basically never fluctuated at all, that I could see from photobooks anyway. Like I said, H!P is clearly doing a bad job of helping the girls keep a healthy lifestyle and handle stress. It's not like this is the first time this has happened. It seems like it's always in MM though.

I do think Haruna is too skinny, the way Reina used to be a few years back. What makes it somewhat less worrying is her weight seems to have been stable; at least since she's been in the public eye. It's not a result of the stress of being in MM, at least.

As for anyone in MM supposedly having better stamina than me.. let's just say by any sports related show I've seen, and their.. whatever they called the yearly athletics meet they used to have? I seriously doubt it.
