Actress Ueno Juri’s elder sister, singer and talento Ueno Mana challenged herself to gravure for the first time in ‘Weekly Playboy‘.

Mana commented, “I’m 30-years-old next year and this is my first time challenging gravure lol. Honestly, I wonder if I’m okay doing this, but I’m thankful to be given the offer.

Recently, Mana has been active in variety programs and her degree of recognition has been rapidly increasing. The magazine features 7 photos of Mana in pastel colored swim suits with various expressions. Among these, there is a shot where she rolls up her outer garment, revealing her beautiful figure.

Oh, she needs a cheeseburger. That's just too skinny.

I thought I'd be in before the bodyshaming. Guess that was too much to expect from Arama.
sakatamarie Re: *sighs*16th-Apr-2012 07:25 pm (UTC)
I think there's a difference between bodyshaming and a fact.
koichiko 16th-Apr-2012 07:22 pm (UTC)
She needs to eat something first :(
asaphira_sachi 16th-Apr-2012 07:45 pm (UTC)
Dang, everyone's focusing on her body... I'm just focusing how much she and Juri resemble each other 0_0
atarashiiyoake 16th-Apr-2012 08:11 pm (UTC)
Yeah, mte. I hadn't read the title and thought it was Juri at first, lol.
k0dama 16th-Apr-2012 07:55 pm (UTC)

newsvsyamapi 16th-Apr-2012 11:50 pm (UTC)
LOL! please don't take her as an example she really does not look that healthy...
mecha_danger 16th-Apr-2012 10:41 pm (UTC)
"Challenge" is a false friend between Japanese and English, so it sounds super awkward to take someone saying it in Japanese and not find an accurate English translation, like "take on the task of X." But hey, I can't expect too much from Tokyohive.
pawneternal 17th-Apr-2012 01:06 am (UTC)
This girl has a major case of fug-o hair. Mushroom cuts are so 1991.
jae_bias_bitch 17th-Apr-2012 02:07 am (UTC)
ugh skinny as fuck

Shame is part of autonomous and social ethics, some people crying "body shaming" need to rethink the subject. A person should be allowed to say someone looks too fat or too thin, etc...especially in a community like this where the people being commented on are celebs who put themselves out there in the spotlight, will never look at these community posts, and shouldn`t care about the opinions of random regular people they will never meet.

She`s very thin looking here, she`s probably even more lithe in real life. However, that`s not an uncommon thing in Japan. That said, it`s understandable that many people think she`s dangerously thin. Not my cup of tea, I think she would look better a little heavier...however, it`s debatable whether she`s really suffering from any health problems at her current size. She`s almost 30, she doesn`t need baby fat and if she`s not planning on trying to get pregnant anytime soon it shouldn`t be too much of a problem.

Hope she takes care of herself and the jobs works out the best it can for her.

So because people are celebrities, everyone is allowed to make terribly rude comments about them and anyone else that shares the features/characteristics commented on? How about no.

If someone shames another person's body, then that's bodyshaming. I'm not sure which fancy definition of the term you're accustomed to using.

This is going to come as a shock to some people in here, but some folks -- quelle grand suprise -- really are just angular and bony! And while we're looking, please note the obvious muscle tone in her abdomen. She is not wasting away, she is just quite sculpted in the midsection and lanky in the limbs.

Her waist measurement is not a depiction of her total picture of health. Stop acting like it is.
nova_usagi 17th-Apr-2012 02:25 am (UTC)
She probably only has a muscular looking torso because her body fat percentage is that low. :/

But I agree that she`s probably not going to randomly keel over because of her current size.
