The Chubbiness girls aren't chubby at all, at least by American standards. I'm not sure what the BMI standard is like in Japan, though.

However, they are by idol standards. Most idol Otaku want rail thin idols although you have some who want healthy idols like most of the ones in Chubbiness.


Man’s image of the ideal female body is shockingly skinny even by Japanese standards

I registered with the site to simply say that i love me some thick women! Nice to see a group like this in Japan. Would never happen in America. They would get ridiculed till they quit.


There are no more girl-groups in America, but that hasn't stopped women like Adele and Meghan Trainor ("All 'bout the bass, no treble").

The other group was the 'little bit of meat on the bones' sort of chubbiness. This is more along the lines of the 'dangerous and possibly life shortening' group.

I wouldn't really call this life threatening. They are overweight, but not hugely so. I have seen far 'weightier' people life long and happy lives.

That's nearly unrealistically thin for that height, if they want thin but realistic, they should aim for lady with a height under 150 cm (4'9") and they'll be more adorable.
