If your hands leave the ground in the down position, where are they going, and why aren't you faceplanting? Hannah's technique is... not pretty. I don't say it to be nasty, but because a physiotherapist sister and personal trainer friend have indoctrinated me with the "bad technique --> injury --> time in rehab with my sis" mindset.
activeaero Wrote:I would just like to point out that 95% of moderately in shape western girls own/wear clothes exactly like her's, and they show just as much cleavage per percentage of the actual boobs that they have when they do.Ummm, no, not 'western' girls. Unless the US is the only western country. This is why we could always pick the American exchange students at uni
On Hannah Minx (this is coming from another white chick in her 20s): I think she's cute and harmless. No, she's not skinny, but she's not particularly fat. Average, I'd say. I won't critique the cleavage thing, because in the videos where she goes out in public she covers up a little more. What people wear in their own home is their own business.
Her channel isn't supposed to appeal to my demographic, and other than one viewing about 9 months ago, I've pretty much passed her by. There are a lot of people these days who are looking to offended/outraged ay every turn, but with so many more interesting and productive things you could be doing, why waste your time on that kind of thing?
(Meanwhile, I just watched her soba vid - now I want soba and tempura at 8:30am, dammit).

Also, to the person who was criticizing how she makes Japan seem like a magical fairy land...
A lot of the things she points out are true. In Japan, the trains ARE nicer. In Japan, the ads DO have a lot of random cute things on them.
Something about the way she talks in Japanese kind of pisses me off though. It's really irritating to hear her voice in Japanese which is weird because her English voice is pretty pleasing.

If, in fact, she is related to the Ken Tanaka project, then it's obvious that her character is just a cultural parody and she is intentionally posing as a stereotypical japanophile, kawaii-craving bimbo.
caivano Wrote:I guess you're thinking of gyaru, which really dont make up much of the population.Their numbers seem more significant to me than you appear to claim. Part-time jobs in department stores and malls are flooded with gyaru, at least in Sendai. I was at Parco in Sendai yesterday, and almost all the clothing and fashion stores featured exclusively gyaru salespeople. Maybe your idea of gyaru is narrow, but in my experience the gyaru like the ones depicted here can be found far and wide and high and low throughout the urban centers of Japan.

What is the Ken Tanaka project? I see a youtube channel of a guy with a funny American accent and a funny Japanese accent.

Ken, who is played by the comedian, was born to American parents but adopted by Japanese parents when he was young. The series follows Ken as he searches for his birth parents in the U.S. It's in a similar vein to the lonelygirl project, except that it's funny/absurd instead of emo.

Here's a video where part of it early on demonstrates the push-up. You can see the ladies all have their hands leave the ground. http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/Games2010_E6Women_FinalHeat_SD.wmv
Still, I doubt anybody is watching the Hannah video for Japanese or physical fitness advice.

The girls in there are pretty well super fit, so it's possibly not too uncomfortable for them. For anyone more well endowed, though, probably not so great.

And, er, no - I don't think anyone's looking to Hannah for guidance in anything much

How did I not notice this thread? This girl is amazing! I love how she mixes the languages together as if it were normal.

I mean... *cough*... how distasteful... and uh.... uncouth... that the word right....
*watches entire channel*
Good slurping.
Yummiest NOODLES EVER
Edit: Okay, the dog thing just killed it.
I want a divorce.

Clearly it's only men who live in Japan near Hannah Minx that are defending this girl.
And it's clear that only, ah, frugally endowed females are attacking her.
There. That's my extra contribution to this and the 'misogyny' thread. ;p

Ken Tanaka's voice makes me want to shoot my headphones 1000 times over, rip the audio cable out of my computer and burn it, then get the soundcard and throw it in a pool of acid.

well i think her boobs look fine... and contrary to what Aijin says, I think "massive areolas" are far more sexier than smaller ones. But the thing that bothers me about this girl is the way her eyes seem to bug out at me. O_O
