These days Japanese girls have... - Yeah
- Bigger boobs!
Some random people sometimes missunderstand that I am pregnant
* gasp! *
Hey guys and girls on Japanese it's Cathy Cat but today I'm joined by my friend....
Hey guys it's Hiroko from HirokoTV I'm Japanese friend of CathyCat.
On that note guys I
have a list here of Japanese girl myths and I would like you to bust them with
me today. It's a couple of things that people write on the internet generally some
kind of you know all of it on the Weeby side ...the kind of comments about the
things that they think of Japanese girls... now we filmed this with the director
before and he's like "I'm not a Japanese girl" So we need a real Japanese girl
To help us with the Mythbusters okay ?
- Yeah ok! - Let's do this!
Japanese girls are all fairly flat-chested
true or false?
Ah uhm....
FALSE
I think I mean these girls have bigger boobs than before
I think in general but maybe some of them took plastic surgery....
Ooooh is that like a...
a common thing in Japan right now?
- well especially these days so many pretty girls are coming out (about plastic surgery)
so it's becoming a common stuff
- Because everyone looks pretty the pressure is on so...
more girls are tending to actually change their appearance?
I think so but it's like for me I think it's dangerous so I don't
want young girls to you know... see it as a cool stuff because it might hurt them
Yeah do you know one thing also I realized like ... to be honest...
I went into an onsen and I was like... I look around to be honest!
I look around! - Yeah.
I actually think my expectations were broken like...
I could see curvy girls I could see girls with ... quite a lot of ....
we call it "Wood in front of the cottage" is a German word for it.
Wood in front of the cottage there's a quite a lot of good of good sizes there so I was
like" I think this is a myth" - I think too!
- maybe - I mean maybe...
people get got these ideas from Japanese anime or something
- Aaaah! - Some of the anime characters have a flat chest.
It seems to be like either one or the other ... that seems to be like extremes there...
It's either super flat or like super big. There doesn't seem to be much in between
I need to warn you because Japanese underwear brands...
Their pads are really really thick!
- ah yes. ok. that's true to be honest
I must say I order all my stuff in from abroad because there's so much
padding and you can't take it out.
Oh we can we can! But still when we take it all out....
It will be like TOO flat because we need to cover something ... you know
Yeah I mean like I must say compared to the countries where people are super curvy it's generally
little bit less if we think about really really curvy American girls or like sexy
latina ladies. They have like the perfect bodies! - I know!
* phew wooow * (makes hourglass shape in the air)
Yeah in Japan (in comparison) our boo... our chests are a bit flat.
Well yeah compared to that but I think it's not as flat as people think from Anime kind of
I think that links back to your anime thing... good first myth BUSTED!
This is the ultimate one and it is that Japanese girl myth that "all Japanese girls are naturally skinny"
True or false - * coughts loudly *
If that was true then look at my body! I would be skinny by now.
I'm constantly gaining weight and I'm considered as obese here and
WHAT?!
I mean I googled and I typed my height and weight and they say I'm obese.
* mouths * WHAT?
Not all the Japanese girls are skinny I think yeah ...
But like...
I mean like okay - so Japanese standards you are obese have you like
looked at your BMI though? Your body mass index? - Yeah BMI was
25 or 26 I think
So is that like in which area is that, green area? orange? red?
I don't know which one with what classification is that?
So at 25 to 30
BMI 25 to 30 is obese level 1 and 30 to 35 is the base level two
35 to 40 obese level 3
So the different levels? But is that
like a Japanese BMI or is that like
a Western BMI ?
Oh it's Japanese BMI - Do you how many foot you are?
Do you know?
I know my kg and my height.
My height is 156.4 cm
And your weight if that's ok? - Oh...
63.1
Ok
So you're a 25.9 which means..........
Oh!
That means you're 25.... you're at the boarder between normal weight and overweight.
Like literally just at the border.
Oooooh
So you're not..... in the obesity level....
Oh really!
According to the western BMI calculator you are not in the obesity level you're just like...
a little bit into the overweight. So you're gone a little bit towards chubby. - Really?! Ok!
According to a Japanese website...
With my height... I should be... my ideal...
weight is 53.8
Uh huh... what?
I am sure for Japanese girls....
If you have more than like 50 kilograms we wouldn't tell our weight to people because it's
like "wow" stuff.
Because Japanese boys are not too heavy too so... let's say
my Asian boss videographer boys are not
heavier than me. I'm heavier than them. - yeah but but that's the thing I find I
don't understand like because girls are supposed to be curvy so you know fat mass
is a bit heavy on average anyways... I must say I'm just very very surprised
that Japanese boys are very skinny like skinny skinny ... even like
you know there's like skinny and then there's Japanese boy skinny. Some of
them even in their late 30s have like the figure of a teenager and I'm like HOW???
I'm looking at you director!!! (He's in his 30s and very skinny)
Reeling it back to the topic
Japanese girls are not naturally skinny so how come that's so many people in
also many girls in Japan are so skinny?
Uum they're trying to be skinny because these days all popular girls like influencers,
popular models are skinny.Those type of people HAVE TO be skinny like 38 kilograms 36 kilograms
so super underweight oh well..
So like even 48 kilogram girl would think that "oh I'm chubby" you know
mmm I've seen a lot of girls in our interviews saying like "yeah I just don't eat"
Or they go on really bad diets ...
Yeah they don't really work out but some of my some of my friends who are influencers who are so pretty
they love workout, plus they eat chicken breast, broccolis...
and protein. - Right?
So they are like I don't know ATHLETES.
Also loads and loads of exercise for them ... see on that note you mentioned you
started a challenge like a weight loss challenge on our channel??
YES! Because you know I don't hate my body figure I mean
I don't really like it though... but the thing is what I hate the most is that I
had been being lazy for years. And the result is that ...did I tell you that ....
... some random people sometimes mistake that... misunderstand that I am pregnat....
* gasps *
It's a true story you know!!!
Because of my belly. They were seriously like
"Oh sit please" and I'm like "what? Oh it's fine" "oh nonono"
They offered you their seat because they thought you were pregnant?!?!?!?!?!?!
OH NO!!! - "You need to take care of your body!!"
- GASP! - You know... I felt shy to ....
say "oh it's my food baby" so I just ... because I was also tired bringing
all the equipments for filming so "hmm well" and I touched my belly and said "Thank you!"
And I took the seat to be honest.
So you just rolled with it, you rolled with it.
I am loosing my confidence because...
My body figure right now is a result of me being lazy ...
I want to change that part that's why I started doing exercises every single day
and upload "one video every single day challenge" what kind of exercises
So what kind of exercises are you doing?
I'm collaborating with a Japanese popular exercise youtuber "musclewatching" first
And then for the next series I will do a
collaboration videos with Japanese popular other trainers
So you are you trying to actually do do what they preach? You're gonna try to exercise what they're preaching?
Yeah so I would play their video and do the exercise
Keep up the hard work!!! - YAYYYYY
One more time Japanese girls flat chested true or false we said ....
FALSE
faaaalse!
It was really fun you know!!
Awesome I catch you soon! byeee!
