Nah, that one is pretty true. Back in 2006, there was an official message from Hello Project that she was sick for a few weeks....when she came back, her chest was magically a few sizes bigger. :)

As for these pictures and vids though, its just ridiculous to compare old candid shots of somebody to professional photo shoots.

Ayumi is often to hard to tell. I don't think Namie has changed at all. If I remember right, Koda actually admitted to plastic surgery. And I think that Gackt obviously did something to his nose. Other than that, I can't really comment on anyone because the evidence is just too small.

idk the maki boob job has always confused me. before i thought 100% she got them done but then i looked more closely at her older photobooks and look @ this wonderful image

no i did not make this :innocent. 2004 looks bigger than 2005 :confused




As for people like ayu i honestly don't think she got her eyes done. she has def got botox and her lips done but when you see her without make up and her extensions she looks exactly the same as her ASFXX days :thud

^ Well, the one thing you have to remember about the photo books though is that they always choose shots/angles and bikinis that make the HP girls often look bigger than they actually are. Not to mention editing afterwords. Even so, her breasts look bigger now than in any of those photos. :) If you look at the full photos in the photobooks that those pictures are from, her breasts look small to medium compared to the rest of her body.
For Maki I remember (as did pretty much everyone else at the time) that her chest looked noticeably quite a bit bigger after supposedly being "sick." When you compare video of her prior to 06 (HP elder club winter '06 being the last concert with her normal chest) to anything after that, you definitely see a difference.

oh yes that is true thanks :yes

who else in h!p got their boobs done? the v-u-den girls come to mind first...:innocent

oh well... they did it... there's nothing we can do~

wat ticks me off the most in those comparison pictures is when they use horrible pictures like the one where i saw Gackt in glasses and the Gackt now. like, WTF? how can you possibly tell.

PLUS, as you grow older, you eyes become more defined. if i showed you my high school pictures to now, you'd think i had eyelid surgery which i did not. they became more defined.

ALSO, some pictures, the lighting really helps in defining my nose. in some pictures, it looks big. in others, it looks sharper and more narrow.

people naturally change through time and what they go through. tears have made my mom's eyes look super puffy now compared to when she was younger where her eye's appeared more open. my dad's eyes are more defined now then when he was younger when his eyes were more "chinkier" (for lack of better term).

most times it's a great angle and lighting. and plus, i can wear enhancements for better cleavage that would definitely make it seem i had some surgery done. there are wonder bras out there. i have a few :P

Actually I think V-u-den might be natural. Rika always kinda had a large chest and Yui's look natural to me. Erika I don't know about, but she is the smallest of the three anyways.

sigh, the video has been deleted

if Gackt got surgery OMG he loooks awesome now *drools*

No, she never said she had as far as I know.
She only admit that her moles were removed, that's all.
People (western fans to be accurate) misinterpret an interview she gave because of lacking japanese knowledge... she said in this interview that she uses eye glue and such things to make her eyes look bigger even in free time. I know that because someone on a big western fashion forum about Gyarus actually read this interview. She was so furious about people telling Kumi had plastic surgery and she isn't even a fan, that was funny back then! XD

Kumi was a really fat kid and she lost much weight as a teenager with the help of her boyfriend.
Her face became slimmer when she grew up, I think that's the only drastic change.
Here's a pic (it's from the same forum):

About the Gackt nose job thing:
I remember reading in his autobiography that he got into quite a few knife fights and motorbike accidents. It's highly likely his nose change is from reconstruction surgery. :)
Also, probably from acne scarring.

Really? See I remember the moles thing, because she did have some awful ones that are obvious she had removed...at one point i did think that she just got skinnier...

but you know what...her being overweight as a kid really makes a lot of sense as to how her breasts are shaped now...not just their size...her breasts are really...oddly shaped.

OMG gackt had an autobio?? :O

Yeah!! It's called Jihaku, you can read its translations on fiyaa (Cool Like Plastic):
