^ You possibly may have commented yourself once or twice how J-celebs often quickly lose their baby fat, and I think that's in play here. Not to mention watching her weight for the movie so she could continue to successfully portray a high school student. She's definitely much slimmer, there's no denying it, but not unhealthily so, I think. She still looks in the normal spectrum for Japanese women to me. A friend of mine is about her height and weight and looks really great all the time in any kind of outfit.
As to the larger issue, I admit that whether her weight looks more or less appealing is totally a matter of personal taste, but I wish in general that people here wouldn't make statements in a way that can be interpreted to conflate their personal physical preferences with what's healthy or appropriate. E.g. "She's too fat." Is that "too fat for my tastes" "too fat to be an idol" "too fat to be healthy" "too fat to look food in that outfit"? And considering that a great many people are sensitive / struggling with weight issues, is it really productive to keep harping on the same issues over and over? I'm not saying people can't voice their opinions. It's not even close to being a mod/admin matter. I'm just saying for me personally as jplop member Zunu, these casually asserted "too fat" "too skinny" remarks get really irksome.
