  • 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
