Wow my heart beats faster
I am scared - Scared?
I am scared
So you want to see the muscles?
That's what it means yeah.
Skinny curvy chubby muscular. How muscular
are boys allowed to be here in Japan. We are gonna ask Japanese girls here what their type is
And how muscular boys in Japan are allowed to be
Let's go and Ask Japanese
Do you like muscular men?
More the skinny lean guys
Skinny lean too
Same here
How would you explain that?
On first sight they don't look muscular
But when you see their stomach, it is actually really toned
From first sight they are skinny
But they actually have hidden muscles
But if he doesn't lift his shirt then you won't know if he has muscles
What about that?
That breaking of expectations is exactly what is good
First impression he is a skinny minny
But if you see a glimpse of muscle you are "oh surprise"
The director has prepared muscular foreign boys pictures
There are 4 types of muscular guys
From 1-4 how much muscle do you like?
Which one? 1 for me - 1 too - Yes 1
You all picked 1 but what about muscular boy 2?
2 is too build up. - He must be really working out hard
He looks like a narcist. He loves his muscles too much.
Number 3 is too muscular
I find that scary - Scary?
What about 4?
That's just a pro bodybuilder
So 1 makes the round what's wrong with 2?
Maybe but i would prefer 2
Depends on his personality - Yes
We are asking about male muscular build today
In Japan muscular men are called "macho"
Abroad muscles are trendy how about you?
Muscular... too muscular might be a problem
I don't like muscles, so just a little is ok
I see how about you?
I don't like it if they have too many muscles and are too strongly build
Why do you not like it
Why? It is too manly for me I can't stand next to someone like that
I got given 4 pictures of muscular men, what muscle do you like?
My type? - Your type
Would be 1 or 2 then it's too strong
For me it would be 2 or 3
I will fix on 2 - Then I will too
Why did you pic 2?
The balance of muscle and meat
Just the right amount of muscle for me
Why did you pic 2? - He is not too thin, not too big
Fun to look at
What does "fun to look at" mean?
You said fun to look at lol - I think it looks wonderful
Abroad you can often see men showing their arms, but not so much here in Japan?
True, you barely see men showing their shoulders
If he was showing his arms, which guy would you pic?
I would stick with 2 - And me...
2 or 3. 3 would be good for me too.
Why did you pick 3 now? - He looks strong and dependable
If you could go for a walk or a date with such a muscular man, what would you do?
I would like to go to the sea together!
So what you're actually saying is that you want to see the muscles - That's what it means
I want to go to the sea or get a lift on their shoulders
Would you dare to have him carry you around on his shoulders through Harajuku - Yes please!
Shoulder lift or princess lift (also called firemans lift) which is your favourite?
In that case I would like a princess lift!
Of course! - Of course!
Why do Japanese girls love the princess lift?
Being all wrapped up is cool.
Getting him to really focus on me
So dependable
Did you ever get a princess lift? - When I was a kid from my dad. It will happen in the future!
In the future! How about you?
I did - What? Tell us! Your friend is curious too
Well... at home... I got swooped up into a princess lift
Did she say who? - She just said at home - It only happened once!
Did the person you like lift you up? - That's right! (Wild cheering)
While in the West it seems more of a thing to woo women with your muscular biceps
showing off them guns but here in Japan
it seems to be kind of "less is more" attitude even though I think that
The boys in the pictures already had more muscle mass than I have seen on any boy
I have seen here in Japan. Even someone who is as muscular as number one
Maybe on the beach or on halloween ... that's about it
Guys let us know what is your type one till four
What do you think is popular in your country, let us know in the comments
