18th Post of AWESOME!! (Why J-Rockers bring about their own demise...)
First off, let me just say that I am ALL about angst.
I eat, live, breathe that shit.
Don't ask why, I just do.
However, I like it to remain INSIDE FANFICTION!
Why, might you ask?
Because J-Rockers are doing it to themselves!
Alright... enough with the one-liners. Basically, these J-Rockers bring it upon themselves that millions of screaming fangirls write yaoi, angst-ridden fanfiction about them. They lay it on thick! Not only in their lyrics or how they dress, but in the very way that they live their lives!
However, there is ONE particular trait that is the most dominant.
The most troublesome...
And often the most disturbing.
Because of this trait, I have a message to all the J-Rockers out there that might be listening (none)...
EAT SOMETHING!
OK!
I said it!
WHY on earth am I saying this? Well, its no surprise that Japanese people not only have a genetically smaller bone structure than others (everyone in the world), but they are sometimes just TOO skinny. As one of my friends pointed out to me, there are two key components to being a J-Rocker.
1. Stick Thin.
2. Great Hair.
3. Marry Meishii.
Anywas, certain recent sightings have inspired this post and, seeing as how I have nothing better to do than obsess over my idols' eating disorders, I figured I'd bring it to light... With pictures and everything! (In no order of skinniness... they all weigh less than me, no doubt... -__-)
Example One: Shou (Vocalist of Alice Nine)
Okay, so... Shou, the beautifully glorious vocalist of A9... So, not only is that guy super beautiful, but he's way tall... I believe the actual height is 5' 10"... Maybe 5' 9.5"? Anyways, that's hella tall for a Japanese man. Anyways, someone who's bigger generally has more weight on them yeah? Well, no. Not in this guy's case. Here's a picture from a photoshoot promoting A9's song The Beautiful Name...
Same photoshoot, just without the bulky jacket...
Holy... Eff... Right? A lot of Shou's photoshoot pictures don't really involve him showing skin. He even rarely reveals his arms (for good reason!). And unlike Saga or Hiroto, he NEVER shows his stomach. Although, he has revealed a little chest on rarity. Also, he often writes in his blog about how he's "going to get fat again, so don't worry". Apparently, several people who are close to him always tell him he's too skinny. Uh, hello? I would, too.
Example Two: Saga (Bassist of Alice Nine)
I think Alice Nine has a problem... XD Anyways, Saga's a pretty emotastical dude. I think at one point he really DID have a problem, although I never found it officially stated anywhere. Anyways, for a while there he was super quiet, always looked ill, and was GROSSLY skinny. I mean, it was nasty. Here's an icky example.
There's NOTHING TO THIS GUY! On top of that, his hip bones are jutting out because his skin is so tight around 'em! Don't get me wrong - I think that out of all the members of A9, Saga is the most elegant of the bunch... but this horrifies me.
Example Three: Juri ( Vocalist of DELUHI)
This guy was more or less the inspiration for this whole thing. Usually, as is true to 'visual kei', Juri usually parades around in elaborate costumes based off of a mix between French Renaissance and a Final Fantasy boss. He wears some bulky shit. However, I was able to see him in just everyday street-wear and visual kei makeup FREE! (I think the band is already transforming out of that, as is usual). And... let's just say that I was HORRIFIED. I guess I wasn't expecting him to be THAT skinny. Wearing bulky clothes, I almost assumed he was a bit heavier than the usual Japanese man (which is probably still incredibly light by any standard...) However, I was wrong. I have a picture here... I even put the outline of his teeny tiny self in red... Just to show the nasty.
As you can see, he's a skinny dude. I didn't even manage to get close enough on the right side (his left)... And his collar bone is like POW!! So... Yeah... I was a little afraid he might break in half when Leda spooked him in the vid... I recommend watching it... Its intense. (I'll have a DELUHI post soon! Good news regarding them!)
Anyways, I believe I'll leave it at those top three. There are several others that ALMOST make the cut, but I wouldn't label them as "too skinny even for a Japanese rock star". Those people are...
Miyavi (he's just too damned tall!)
Ruki (the GazettE)
Hiroto (however, he's got a BITCHIN' six pack! *purrs*)
HYDE (the guy weighs 110lbs, but he's only, like... four feet tall. I cut him some slack)
Gackt (only because he's tall... and has muscle)
And more, I'm sure.
SO!
Here is where I leave you... I hope you enjoyed the nasties!
