^ She’s the new Yaguchi Mari.

[Celedam]

No, this is different. Yaguchi was short, but she was correctly proportioned and fully developed.

If a look is worth a thousand words, then…

I'm going to have to ask that we don't comment of the body structure of 15 year-old children, please. Totally inappropriate.

[Celedam]

It's medical, not sexual. If you think it's sexual, that's your problem.

And we've talked many times about the medical issues suffered by various members, some as young or younger. I don't see why this time is any different.

Goodness, the eating disorders alone…

Anyhow, there is some issue with Wakana Matsumoto's physical development. You can tell just by looking at her. Maybe she's a late bloomer and she'll grow out of it, but declaring that we (I?) cannot comment on the issue does not make the issue go away.

Whether it's medical or sexual, it's still completely inappropriate whether she was 15 or 19 because you don't know her. Obviously, there's nothing inherently wrong with having any kind of health issues as long as they're treated, but it's still not okay to speculate on the wellbeing of a stranger - Especially given that we don't really know her family, and this can genuinely just be something that's genetic. There's not bad intentions behind the statement, but some things are just better off left unsaid.

OK you want to talk about it? I think you're completely off base. Yes, she's definitely shorter than the average girl but in Japan women of her height are not all that unusual. You will likely run into several on an average day just taking a stroll. It's not even that uncommon in the Up Front orbit, i.e., I doubt she's much shorter than Yuria from UUG 2, if at all. If perhaps her face is not as flawlessly whatever as that of the other remarkably beautiful idols in the organization, but that's true for 90% of Japan's population. I frankly doubt anyone would bat an eye at her walking down the streets of Tokyo. And if you're trying to say that 1) well she's short, and 2) not (to you) as well-formed as some other girls therefore 3) there's something clinically wrong with her development, nope, sorry not buying that conclusion at all. We don't know anything about her medical history. Maybe her whole family is short and distinctive looking. At any rate, speculating upon medical diagnoses not in evidence verges into the realm of salacious gossip. As far as I know neither she nor anyone else official has ever even hinted at any kind of medical condition. You said your piece, people can agree or not, but it won't have any bearing on the facts of the matter, of which we know jack.

I certainly appreciate that your initial remark was coming from a place of concern, but even if she has clinical dwarfism, it's not necessarily a medical issue per se. Some LP have very serious health issues, but some have perfectly normal medical prognoses, and there would be nothing preventing such a person from having a long and fulfilling career. And I think it's premature to speculate about her being in the former category without more information coming to light. I do agree with you on one thing for sure. Wakana's awesome, and I hope she sticks around.

[Amped]

Wakana can rock the heels at least.
