I swear to all holy that I was thinking the same thing the moment I saw that picture in the first post, but I thought I was just being a picky bastard about it.

<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':pouty:' /> Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with her feet. Her toenails are long but they are manicured. Is that weird? Seriously, wtf.



It is one thing to expect an idol to be cute and fashionable -- because then we can laugh when Yossi got super fat or complain that Risako doesn't know how to model whatsoever or laugh at Mano Erina's cute, constipated expression or be bored because MM girls all have the same hairstyle.



This degree of fault-finding is obnoxious though because the reasons are all petty. "Idols" are still real people who are yet lacquered, styled, starved, and photoshopped into some notion of idol "perfection." And yet...Stretch marks? Or calling her fat (on H-O)? You don't like her toenails?! It is as though people are really TRYING to make up reasons why she's, gasp, not as "beautiful" as she's supposed to be.



This stuff pisses me off. No wonder so many girls hate themselves into eating disorders and so many wota can only jerk off to cartoons.



Anyway, Risako is fleshy and it is pretty sexy (yeah yeah in that creepy way since she's young etc etc) but she's a far cry from FAT. I don't know who these people are at H-O but maybe they are all 75lb 10 year olds who cannot comprehend that pinup models do not look like runway models.

I personally think long toenails are disgusting, doesn't matter who's they are. It's just a personal opinion.

As for the other stuff you wrote, I think that was directed at JSp, right ?

<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> That's a whole 'nother level of things than what we said about her toenails, though I do agree about the weight-losing comment. I appreciated Risako the moment I saw her because of what I feel is a very normal and healthy weight. I don't necessarily think the other girls in H!P and entertainment in general starve themselves or anything to be so skinny, but Risako represents the average body type to me. At least, that's what my body looks like as opposed to the other girls.



I didn't mean the toenail remark as a way to attack an idol--I too just think her toenails look gross for ANYONE, but much less someone who had time to set up a photoshoot and then take pictures with them like that. We must be seeing two different things because the toenails are long and definitely not manicured. They're not all the same length, they're jagged, and it pretty much looks like she just forgot to clip them for quite a few months. I know it would take my toenails about four months to get that long.

If she was going to have long toenails, the least she could do is get some anti-fungal medication... D'8

In the first photo TnB linked (this one to be exact), she looks like a mini Sayu. :s

Not really JSP. It was more directed at the world <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />. I had read pages and pages of comments like that all over H-O and on random H!P fan blogs. From a feminist perspective and coming from, like, a media-critique background, that sort of stuff has always pissed me off. Lately, I'm seeing this from another perspective because last year I found out that my cousin's daughter was hospitalized for an ED and she's freaking 11. Makes me sad to see that kind of triggering language recycled on this board.

Thank you for illustrating exactly the kind of immature inanity I was describing earlier.

I'm sorry for saying those things, mEri and Ap2000. I'm just being too picky, really. I still find Risako one of the prettiest in Hello!Project (I don't really follow all the idols to have an opinion about the whole thing, though). I'm just surprised at how much weight she's gained over the last two years; losing some local fat (I don't know the exact word in English) would make her even more stunning and 15 is the dangerous age for girls. But she is far from fat and with the load of activities those girls have she won't get any closer to being fat. Again, I'm sorry for that.



As for her toenails (I finally saw them!), I don't think they are abnormal. I think it is just the angle... They are well treated, pedicured and all.

I don't think Risako's fat as much as she is untoned and with really odd proportions. H!O-goers rarely have any idea what they're talking about.



And the reason why her toenails look nasty is because she's wearing tiny flip-flops and walking around in dirt/sand.

You're welcome...?

I'm sorry, but no one wants to see an idol with yellow toenails. :s

Risako's my favorite H!P kid, and I'm not gonna lie, she can look unflattering sometimes, but she's human and I'm not gonna nitpick. I did have this weird thought that she could take Koharu's spot as Kohapink and becom RisaPink....

She could, but I always thought she looked a little "get-me-out-of-here" in those duets with Sayumi. I could be totally wrong, Sayumi always states how much she loves Risako and all...

I'll never get this Risako is fat/chubby/thick thing. It's more her body type than anything. She looks big in comparison to other H!P girls, most of who are a bit curveless, but it looks like she's just built to be curvy. That's not a common build in idols, but it's not a bad build or an un-healthy one, either. If she lost weight, she'd look weird, and from the looks of it, boobs and butt are what her body is supposed to have =/ I think it's just her natural body build.
