It's ok to work on your butt this this is too much. It would turn me off.
I like the lower curves. - You do? This topic is perfect for you then.
That's a body shaped like an anime character
Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese. It's Cathy Cat. The trend of being THICC
of thicc girls, meaning curvy girls, is a big thing in the West right now.
However, has that trend reached Japan yes or no. This time,
we are gonna go show pictures of thicc girls to Japanese boys here and see how they react
So let's go and find out. Don't forget subscribe, like, tick the notification bell, let's go
and ask Japanese boys.
Have you heard of the term "thicc"?
What? - What's that? - Never heard of it. - Ok
When you write THICC in google search.....
you get girls that look like this.
AAAAAH I see! - Wow. - Damn her butt looks huge
Like this? - That's pretty sexy
Are there thicc girls like that in Japan? - Not really
I think that's a thing foreigner girls do. Working on their booty
They want to make their booty bigger.
You already know some work to make it bigger? - Yes I saw it on Instagram
Doing squats like that. - Working out? - Yes I thought that was good.
You are good with that? - Me? I am totally gooood with that.
I like thicc girls too. - I like it when the booty is bigger.
Haha. - Is that your type then? - It is.
But in Japan girls like that... - I never see that. Also
girls that work out are rare. - Rare. -They all just loose weight
to look as slim as possible.
Why do Japanese girls not work out?
Being slim without muscles is more popular
in Japan. But I am different. I like girls that are thicc!
Yay! - Personally... if a girls booty is that big...
it's too big. They are too big.
The waist is so small, how does it get so big down there?
I think that's too much. - You're a bit shocked? - I am a bit shocked
What is your taste then?
I personally think it's ok to work your booty out, but the curvy west is taking it too far
It would scare me away. - Do you think this will catch on in Japan?
What? It might, seeing that those two are into it.
Haha. - I wish it would become popular in Japan. - That's your dream
But being honest, I think it won't become popular. Most boys just like slim
girls in Japan. Japanese won't go thicc
In Japan you call it "curve, waist, curve" right
so which of the curves is more important to you? - The lower one.
The lower one? Really? - I liked those google pictures she showed me
I personally like the slim waist
This tight line. I want to stroke it.
Haha. - You like them girls skinny
A flat skinny waist? - Yeah that's my thing.
I like the top curve all the way.
Looks like you guys like each a different
part of a girls body.
You said if the booty is too big you get turned off.
So what if the chest is "too big" then?
I prefer a big chest and then the rest just skinny
I want just one big curve on the top and the rest slender.
I think that's best. - Boom and then skinny? - Yeah
Oooooh!
Ah! - Wow her waist is really thin! - She looks like an anime girl!
Wow. - It's a body type you don't see in real life Japan? - Not at all.
I have never seen any girl looking like that. - And in your group of friends?
Not at all. Never. - You said she looked like an anime girl...
what about her? - In the Anime One Piece is a character called Nami...
I see! - She is the first person I think of when I see this
Wow it's possible! I see girls like that in a manga or anime
but in real life I haven't seen that. We draw ideals in our pictures.
That's why we see girls like that, but actually looking like that is different
and many girls aren't brave enough for that. - You have to be brave? - I think so.
Japanese people try to not look different to others, as not to stand out badly
It's not good to just stand out by yourself.
I think that's an issue. That's why models and such have to look skinny
otherwise they get talked down like "that body style is weird." - So
Japanese don't want to stand out? - Yes and don't want to look differently.
There are many issues like that. Girls that are curvy exist only
as magazine models. - If you were a model it's ok but
normal people....?
I would be scared. - You sound really negative.
I think so. Being a minority in Japan is really bad
generally we have to look all like one person. - You need to look the same?
When there is a new smartphone and everyone buys it, we buy it too because everyone does
Right now Tapioca milk teas are trendy. If you don't drink them now, you are not kawaii
The world of girls is strange. - Thank you for answering our questions.
I must say I was very surprised that some of the boys knew about the thicc trend
from the internet. So they've been around Instagram to find out about that one ;)
Some of the Japanese girls did not know about this trend when we did the same
video with Japanese girls. If you haven't seen that video yet, don't forget to be subscribe and
look through our videos. We already asked the girls too. What I found interesting
is that the word "scared" was being used.
Why?????? I guess the curvy body type
is very rare in Japan. You don't see many curvy girls. Generally the idea is
Japanese girls are skinny and then....
they're chubby and there doesn't seem to be much in-between. I think is a
the thicc trend and valuing girls for their curves is a good thing, well that's my personal opinion
because I am a curvy girl as you girl... blimblimblim
But it also looks like boys look at different things that girls would look at. Japanese girls
want themselves skinnier while some Japanese boys say "they don't need
to be THAT skinny at all" also... other things.
I looked at this video and looked at my fuzzy hair and was like "Noooo why did
you not see that director?!" We look at different things, we sometimes check out different things
so I think we have a lot of differences but communication in many things
is key. Coming back to the thicc issue... whatever body type you are
please be healthy take good care of yourself, sport and healthy food.
Not ALL he sweets... don't follow my example I eat a lot of sweets. On that note
I hope you have a great day. Don't forget subscribe, like and give us a tick
of the notification bell and I hope I catch you soon for more ideas coming out from Tokyo to
you, no matter where in the world you are. Bye... (And she's off having more sweets now...)
