ayu's weight,,,
 

it's just my opinion,,,

i think ayu is a lil bit over weight....:innocent lately
she looks a little fat,,,
when i watched her performance n looked at her arm,,,it's twice than her arm on 3 years ago...:D
n my sister who watched it with me also said...woo....she's so fat now,,,,:shakehead

it makes her looks older,,,,imo,,,,

i guess it's been starting around secret era,,,


how bout ur opinion,,,,:yes

She is getting older and wenn you got older you get a little bit more fatter, i think she is fine: wenn she is skinny she also dont look beautifull. As long as she is not getting really fat i dont care.

She works out very often now. What you're seeing is probably not fat, but rather muscle or "meat" that she previously didn't have.

Haha personally I don't like the 'too skinny' Ayu that much
I liked her 'fatter' look more coz she looks healthy and I don't need to worry :laugh

Same as WoWee, at least she's not getting reaaaally fat :yes

You seriously call that fat?

She has gained more weight over the years but I wouldn't call her fat at all! Ayu looks very healthy now like WoWee has pointed out :yes I recently was watching an old HEAVEN performance and saw how skinny she was, I became worried! But now I believe she is a very healthy size for her age :yes Even if she was chubby, that would be fine with me because she is so cute anyway :heart

'over weight'? are u kidding XD

She is no fat O.O
She is good.
Really! You prefer skinny no, scrawny people?
Don't forget she is 31 too. And she is pretty good for her ages.

she's not gaining any.. i guess~~

Her weight fluctuates a lot.. right now she's tiny but still healthy looking. There is no way in hell she's overweight - if anything she might be underweight.

If you call that fat... then you have an unrealistic idea of healthy body weights.

.....


If ayu is "fat", i want to be "fat" like her.

This!!


She is gaining weight? Really?! I don't see it...!!

ayumi hamasaki is thin.

GURL BYE.

Seriously. I think it's completely absurd to even mention Ayu's name and the word overweight or fat in the same sentence. People are so shallow.

Agreed with yuki_unmei, I want to be fat like Ayu too. :D

Exactly this! :yes Even my mom made a comment when I was watching one of her recent lives... She said, "Oh geez! She's so tiny! How old is she again?!" I asked her and she wasn't talking about height :) Ayu is definitely skinny, but healthy size :D

woah this topic again?
guess it's ok for Ayu to go fat and slim whenever she wants?
she just wants to keep her stamina well for this 2 month concert..
so yeah~~ i love to see Chubby Ayu~

she does look fuller figured than before, but not fat at all :shakehead
i think shes normal :P oh, and this is the result of her taking care of herself better x)

Exactly what I wanted to say.
If that is fat.. wow.. I wanted to be fat like her.
Hornestly... if you call her fat, you really have an unrealistic idea of healthy body weights, like Corybobory said right.

By the way... if she is fat.. I must be nearly to explosion.. or what?

Really hope you're kidding...

I used the words ''fat'' because chu-lps called her fat,
I dont think she is fat at all!!! She is slim for here age and height!!
An as is ayed before, it is probalby musceles

Are you aware of what overweight actually is? Hell, are you aware of what fat actually is?

I wouldn't say she's fat; I'd say she has a bit more meat on her bones than she used to but that can easily be muscle and a result of her working out. Since around 2006/2007 she's worked out a lot more than she used to, working out does a lot to the body.

Same with me!

lol, Ayu fat?? :no I don't really see it.

I think she looks great.

Maybe its costumes she's wearing at the concerts makes her look thick -shrugs-

But in the latest PV's she looks fine.

I don't think she's fat. She did gain weight around '08 though. It's really noticable during the a-nation performances.

LOL She's not overweight at all.... Overweight for her height is like 170 pounds!
You can't call her fat unless you're size zero, and I'm quite sure you aren't.

^O.o that's not overweight either
oh wait for her height? yeah
but some weight can be muscle weight

Do you guys think she's still 88lbs (40kg)?
sometimes she looks super skinny and sometimes she looks normal.

Even though she's skinny she has some nice thick legs yum

i think during a nation 08 she looks abit fat but other than that i think its perfectly all right since you tend to look thiner in real life than on screen

Oh my ****ing God, this made me seriously very angry.

Ayu has NEVER, EVER in her entire life (from what we've seen--certainly not in her entire career) been even close to "fat". Not even close to overweight. That "fat" on her arms you're seeing? It's what a healthy woman's arms really look when they aren't anorexic or being photoshopped, okay?
This is not only insulting to Ayumi, but to every single girl who is "fat" like she is. I'm a little bigger than Ayu is, so I must be obese, right? :rolleyes
Seriously, people like you need to learn that adults are not supposed to weigh seventy pounds or some ****. Even for a tiny Asian girl, it's still average, and perfectly normal, to weigh over a hundred pounds. If you think looking like a pile of bones is attractive, then go for it. It gives me something to laugh at when I see you walking down the street. Just leave us healthy people out of it. :no

I really doubt she's 88 pounds... She hasn't looked that skinny since...Duty era or before, probably.
And yes, nice legs. :lech *high fives*


Oh, and just for the record, according to BMI (which isn't the best thing to look at, I know, but it does give us an average), Ayumi can weigh up to about 59kg/130lb to be in the "healthy" weight for her height...... She's far from going over that, I'm sure. She can't weigh more than 52kg/115lb, probably at most, even with this *sarcasm* awful weight gain */sarcasm* she's had.

who cares dumb comment

some people must be really bored, when they care about things like these...

she has averagely over 30 concerts to perform each year, and she needs more energy to cope with them.

i don't call her fat. she is healthy this way.

She didn't gain too much weight if she did... probably a kg or two which is not much considering her age. She has, I dunno.. 45kg max :D I guess also that she is working out so those are muscles not fat ;)
I don't think she is too fat :O

+1

Sometimes she gains a bit of weight in the arms and face but she isn't fat or overweight by a loooonnnngggg shot!!!
She is healthy and that's all that matters!

:| well if she's fat I'm obese.

She gained weight in a good way lol.
The body changes during ages, during her early twenties she was pretty skinny but then she has gained some curves.
I mean she's not fat or overweight, she just looks like an adult woman.
That's bad? That's so bad to looks like a woman and not like an underage anorexic girl?

Maybe I'm rude, but that kind of dumb comments annoying me srsly.

I really hope u r kiddin, or else Im gonna worry for you @_@

HUh? tour pics?..It's just the costume..lol..

Perhaps chu-lips is judging based on the East Asian standards of what's "fat" and what's "skinny"...? To my understanding, the Japanese and Korean ideal for women's body weight tends to be much, much leaner than the Western ideal, partly because their body frames are naturally smaller. What the West considers borderline underweight is considered normal in the East. Just look at all the pressure on Asian celebrities to be stick thin and how they're killing themselves to meet society's unhealthy demands on them.

Ayu's weight is perfectly fine and is nowhere near being fat. Sure she might not fit everyone's standard of skinniness, but she's healthy and that's what matters. Hearing people criticize a possibly underweight person as being "fat" is part of the reason why so many teens and young women have body image issues today.

Absolutely.

^yes is very very different
like some western girls weight like 80lbs and they look anorexic but
asian girls who weight 80lbs look healthy

:hi5

I think she might be 115lbs pounds or a little less

she's not fat shes miles miles and miles away from that

^ Like I said, probably 115 at the most. You're probably right - a little under that. 'Cause I know I'm about 120, but I have bigger boobs and a much bigger ass than she does. XD So I assume she's around 50kg/110lb. Which is perfectly normal, even for a Japanese girl.

A lot of Asian countries do have a different BMI, which does lower the groupings by a few points compared to most other places. But, from what I've seen, they only lower it about two points. And two points is still about 5kg/10lb to work with.
Also, according to a more Asian-fit BMI that uses 23 as the limit of "healthy", I'm still in that range. I'm at the end, granted, lol.... But even with my bubble butt and thunder thighs, I'm there! ^.^' That means Ayu is perfectly okay, even taken by those standards.

^oh my god I just payed attention to boobs and ass:laugh

If you are calling ayu ''fat'' i want to see you, you can't say this unless your only bones and skin. Ayu is beautiful en slim, yes she has more wight than in the past, but then she was skinny. Now she is perfect and beautiful, she looks healthy and slim, not ''fat''. Shame on you that you said that Ayu is ''fat''.

me too... ayu is super fine :shakehead

omg i seriously hope youre kidding :no everytime i look at ayu i think she looks reaally thin. not anorexic, just thin.

but wow. ayu and fat or overweight in the same line. now i've heard/seen everything LOL

I think she's not gone fatter, she's more healthy and yeah it makes her chest look fuller as a result so as long as she's happy, I'm ok with that :)

that... LOL

if she is fat I'm obese x10000000000

And people who saw her in London like me will tell that, she is absolutelly THIN, she is so little and THIN!! absolutely a healthy weight for her height...

perfect!

really... people standarts for female beauty is what makes teens be anorexic or have bulimia ¬¬

Exactly.
I think she's VERY trim, and she does work out a lot, so it could be muscle mass. That's what I see, actually... :shakehead
There is NO. WAY. she's fat. I think she could potentially be UNDERweight, if anything...
Like identity said.

You know, while I want her to be healthy, I'd still love her even if she was truly fat.

That being said, she has never been overweight; she just looks healthy now. I'm glad she's not such a 'stick' anymore. :yes

wow really does someone have to be like 90 pounds to be considered not "fat". i dont know about anyone else but here in america fat equals people who can fit 3 of ayu and they cant exercise easily. that would be overweight. ayu technically is quite skinny compared to many girls down here. and i really prefer her this way and not super skinny. super skinny means theres nothing there.

frankly he looks her healthiest to me ^___^ strange topic

Uh, yeah. I want to be fat like ayu then. :shakehead

Some people apparently think that women are meant to be twigs and anything larger than a stick is fat horrible gross disgusting and should be shunned! \o/

People come in all different shapes and sizes, and are meant to be what's RIGHT for them to be. As outsiders, we cannot possibly say what's fat or NOT for Ayu, or what's healthy or unhealthy, because we aren't her. We can only say that about ourselves. I don't know why this is a difficult concept for some people to understand (but I'm not directing this at anyone specifically in the thread).

How is she overweight? Looking chubby and being overweight are drastically different things when you're only 4 foot something.

Fat? lol *then i'd call myself a gorilla then :laugh*

But i kinda understand what you meant by "fat"
Most Japanese girls i see here have size like her, and even skinnier
Even grandmas who are in their 60es call themselves fat, even tho they're skinny @__@

This.

No offense, but when I see topics like this, it makes me sick. I know my country (America) is much more overweight than the rest of the world, but some of the world's idea of thin is disgusting, and to call Ayu overweight means that your idea of thin is probably disgusting to me.

she isnt fat, fat is when your butt sags over the seat.
shes just putting on a little bit of weight, no biggy ^^
but id love to have the same weight as her ^^,
it could be muscle. she does work out a bit now,

I'm too lazy too look at everyone's posts... I read the first page at least :)

Usually during her tours she is so busy that she is probably under weight badly... And during the 'break' (if you can even call it a break) she probably gains weight. Which is good.

Also... 5 years ago she was doing alot more during her 'breaks' like promotion and appearing on music shows like crazy! Way more than she does now. It was also the peak of her fame in Japan and she was sooo busy and barely slept...

Also it probably isn't muscle at all. It probably is a little skin and fat. During her tours she is so physical that her muscle ratio is probably WAY higher. During the end of her 'breaks' before she starts practicing for tours some of her muscle will soften and be more 'floppy' (for lack of a better word :) )

I have this same problem... I'm only almost 155 cm and weigh 43.2 kg... I can weigh more during my dancing season because muscle weighs more than mass. But I look thinner during my season because when my muscle softens I actually lose weight :)

i think she gain a lot of muscles not body fat

A few other people have taken the time to post well-thought-out responses, but I find this so ludicrous that I have nothing to say except: SHUT UP.

Ayumi? Overweight? That just blew my mind. Even if she was "overweight" I wouldn't go on the internet and so casually criticize her for being "overweight". It's called respect.

I think we can manage to have a nice conversation here without being offensive.
Is just her opinion and I don't see why people have to get offensive about it,
maybe her weight standards are different who knows.

or maybe she used the wrong word "overweight" maybe she meant something different.

I'm just sayin' and no I don't agree with her

Her BMI is probably low considering how she looks now, she may even be considered clinically underweight.

The "fattest" I remember her being was over the summer of 2008, when she did the Japan finale of AT08. She was a little plump then, but still nowhere near what "fat" means.

I don't know why, but this comment is just crackin me up soo much lol

anyway...

Secret era is what I call "fat"...and not really fat in comparison to other people, but just a little chunky for her body frame...and she was only like that for like a few months.

I'd say she's pretty healthy right now. In fact, I think she looks better than ever right now...since she did gain weight a few times...her boobs got bigger...but then she lost the weight...but her boobs have stayed the same...

so like...in comparison to her frame...she looks damn good.

And honestly...for her BMI...Ayu would have to be like under 95 pounds in order for her to be clinically underweight according to the bmi scale...and I really really doubt she is...And for her to be overweight, she'd have to be over 125, which she totally is not. In other words...she is known as HEALTHY.

Well for her height isn't the BMI like 115? Cause I'm 95 and only one centimeter shorter and my 'healthy' weight is 110... :/ Plus she so could be 95, for real! I'd say maybe between 95-105 probably...

I actually tried calculating and she's overweight if she's 135 pounds...

I used this
BMI Categories:

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Ayu's Weight?!
 

I don't think it's even possible for Ayu to get any bigger than what she is now...I think she's fine, as along as she doesn't end up in the hospital, I'm fine with her image. She's always looked good and hopefully felt even better, so that's all that matters.

I was 92lbs when I was a little bit taller than Ayu. It's entirely possible, I think.

She has breasts and etc. so the weight will probably be a bit higher but I don't see why it'd be doubtful for her to be under 100 pounds.

If chu-lips asked me the same question, I'll say, yes, Ayu looks fatter than before.

But actually it's not her fat, but she's gaining meat. Some of westerns don't understand how fat we are, the Asians if we do gaining meat like Ayu's. I admit that most Asian girls love to look skinnier than anyone.

Ayu is not fat, but she looks fatter than before. I love the healthy Ayu more.

Dang! I misread this and thought you said to be considered UNDERweight she's be 135 pounds... dang I thought I would be considered worse.

she's also pretty muscly no? idk, I just don't really think she's under 100...maybe my a few pounds...but I think she's around 100-105.

But anyway...I think all of these weights are still healthy for her...although 90 is pushing it I think...

How tall is she again? LoL

156cm or so, I believe.

It's like 5'1"?

EDIT: oh, thanks truehappiness :D I am the same height and bigger than Ayu so I'm curious too (O_O)

I agree 100% :yes. She needed to get a little more meat...she was a bit on the scrawny side in the past. I think she looks more beautiful now then she ever has.

i love this comment....:love

since english isnt my mother tongue may be i cant explain it well...:D
may be i had made a mistake by choosing "overweight" word...

i mean she is gain weight n look fatter...

not that "overweight":D

sorry for the miss understanding....:(

Weight and physical appearance is always one of those touchy subjects. :yes She has gained some weight, but it looks good on her. :)

Honestly, I'd be worried if she was under 110, that just isn't healthy at all in my book.

For Asian women that are under 5'5"ish, it's a pretty normal weight.

It's a bit like how Asian guys who live in China/Japan/Korea/etc. who are 5'10"+ can be 120lbs and below. It's just... normal.

exactly... it also depends on your body frame as well... I have a very small frame and Ayu seems to have one as well... being under 100 slightly isn't unhealthy. Especially for us shorties

My mom and I are white/etc but with small frames. I remember hearing my mom was 88lbs (5'0") when she got married--and healthy. I was 95lbs (5'1") when I was active in dance. :yes You can't tell just by the weight number or even height. BMI is a bit...inaccurate too.

is it a joke ? Ayu is perfect for me a bit skinny sometimes (2002/2003 era), since Secret she is perfect =D

Erm...seriously? When I saw her in person for her autograph in January, she was TINY.

ok she explained herself
done and done

happy days from now on woooow

She is MORBIDLY OBESE :laugh just kidding
I mean she has gained a little weight since that long time ago she debuted but she is just as beautiful as always. but with all the concerts she does a dont think she has time to get fat :D but i wish i was AYU FAT then

I agree. They don't take frames into account :P

Where on earth is Ayu fat?
