Just an addition to this...

They have a page at a beauty clinic's site for Lico. I think they helped with the transitioning. Over the last three years, Hide had been researching about gender identity disorder and such before going to "PAI (Preecha Aesthetic Institute)" in Thailand to have the reassignment surgery done.

Lico also has a blog and Twitter now if you want to keep up with her. She is still dancing!
This was also brought up/focused on because there was a TV program on Fuji TV's Super News about the sex change, it seems.

I would also say that a lot of the photos posted in the initial post are rather old because Lico looks rather feminine now that hormones and so on have had time to change her features. (The surgery happened at the very least about half a year ago... the photos in the first post are from when she was in Thailand doing the surgery, I think)
