Heavyset newcomers “Pottya” (from “plump” – “pochari”) have burst onto the idol scene, garnering much attention with their heftier proportions.
Pottya intends to prove that those of any body size can achieve stardom – which may come as news to other idols.
A sample of Pottya’s debut song, “Po・Po・Po・Pocharinko☆”:
The idol group received over 2000 well-rounded applicants from all over Japan, with the 5 chosen girls possessing a total combined weight of about 838lbs – Pottya’s debut single “Po・Po・Po・Pocharinko☆” will be released on January 29th.
This is horrible thing to say about Nipponese, but I can’t tell the difference between these girls and the Hispaniola’s where I work.
Most of you guys are just plain evil and just haters. Not everyone will be a fit person, that doesn’t mean they are ugly or unattractive. That is the beauty of humans as we come in all shapes and sizes. It’s just preference. If it’s not your cup of tea then put it back down, the next guy will drink it for you.
Unhealthy is unattractive. period. Only people who find them sexy/cute are fat girls or chubby chasers lol
Aww, they’re cute.
I don’t think people should idolize being overweight. I don’t mind if people are ok with their body but saying that it’s a good thing or should be something we strive for is another.
These are my 2 cents but it’s certainly interesting to see something new.
They arent really in the weight range to be unhealthy, though. People have this dumb idea that chubby/fat=unhealthy when it isnt always true.
Take a sumo wrestler, for example. They’re not just fat dudes, they’re athletes. They have strict training and their really, REALLY strong. I’ve seen them train, they do a thing where they carry a 20kg weight on their shoulder (minimum) while doing a squatting crabwalk, across the room and back multiple times. Try doing that -without- carrying any weight on your shoulder at all, it’s not easy.
There are also female body builders who appear chubby, but its their build. They’re very fit and healthy – they would have to be to excell at their sport.
I’m not saying that fat people arent unhealthy. Obviously a lot of them are. However there are plenty of people who are on the chub side but are in perfect physical health and even could be considered ‘fit’ in their athetic ability, however they are often labelled as unfit, lazy slobs. It’s the same as how some skinny nerd isnt automatically going to be in peak physical condition just because they arent fat, it works both ways.
As for these idol girls, I dont know if they’re healthy or unhealthy, but I’m guessing they’re more on the healthy side due to how rigorous an idols dancing and training routines are. If they were idols that were just filmed sitting at computers all day and ‘glorifying’ their chubbiness that would be unhealthy, though.
um, these chicks aren’t chubby.
they’re fat. Fat and obese is unhealthy. chubby isn’t.
Like I said being ok with your body is one thing but, most people will never know what your actual routine is. They will only look at what you present physically and therein lies the problem. Plus it doesn’t help when you see them shove sweets down their face to promote a song.
I’m well aware that that are heavy set people who live perfectly healthy lives. They should be the ones people find out about not an idol group who advertises that being heavy set is a good thing no matter the cost to your health.
Each idol group has different regiments but I can bet to you now that there are strict requirements that force them to eat certain amounds/types of food to keep their weight.
Hmm so if they were equal in weight they’d be 168 pounds, wonder how tall they are.
