ShuYa Gained Weight?
 

I was watching videos of Shu Ya From AT 09 and CDL 09- 10
and then i watched CDL 07-08 and i realised that Shuya looks bigger....
In 07-08 his body was totally flat (mainly his stomach) and he looked extremely fit, and now he still looks fit, but like he has like more gut and stomach
does anyone else find so?

i've notice the same...he definitely isn't as in shape as he used to be.

I thought so too when I first watched Future Classics.
Not that he's fat...
He's still able to lift himself off the ground.

similar to gomi..if u saw dome tour he was totally skinny..now he's muscular

God. The last thing he needed to do.

yeah I notice the weight in his face too. he also has been looking really old. I'm not sure how old he really is, but he looks like he's in his late 40's.

If I remember correctly, the trio of them (Shu-ya, ZIN, Subaru) just hit 30.

^omg~ :thud i always thought they're in their mid-30's or something~

All of the dancers are younger than Ayu, she said so before. I think all of the guys were younger, and the girls (back-up singers) are older than her.

Good if he gained some weight. He's too damn skinny anyway.

i don't notice it...
can someone make a screecaps?

Everyone but Go-mi. He's the older one I think.

And I have to agree. Thank god he gains some! It's not like it's all fat either. Mama needs to see some muscles. :heart

Screencaps would be helpful~ :yes

Does he smoke? That might account for why he looks older.

^
I THINK I saw pics of him with a cigarette, not sure thoug. I only know that gomi is smoking

yes Go-mi is smoking, Shu-ya too...
i saw him smoked, when i attended AT08 at Shanghai...
when rehearsal, her dancer is going in and out building, and there is smoking area outside building where a lot of people can see, and i saw Shu-ya going on there...

Eww, why do they smoke?! O_o

Smoking? Wouldn't that be the last thing they'd want to do as someone who relies on their body for income? I mean, gaining weight, that's fine. It could be muscle, could be some love handles, either way, the amount of weight they'll gain while still performing is negligible and won't affect their health.

Smoking, though? That's proven to be bad for you. Last time I checked, being able to breath was pretty important to dancing. >.>;;

But, whatever makes them happy, I guess?

^I don't think Japan has the same views on smoking as a lot of western countries. I mean, everyone and their dog seems to smoke.

Isn't smoking a common thing in Japan though... Not sure on that.

According to wiki (the most reliable source on the Internet LOL):
Smoking in Japan is much less subject to bans than in many other nations, and Japan accounts for much of the tobacco consumption in Asia. Nearly 30 million people smoke in Japan, making the country one of the world's largest tobacco markets.[1] Japan is one of the last industrialized nations in the world where adult smoking is still widespread; statistics show Japanese men smoke at one of the highest rates in the world.[2] The smoking rate among adults was 29% in 2008, 43% of men and 13% of women.[3] As of 2010, the total smoking rate is 24%, 36.6% of Japanese men and 12.1% of Japanese women;[4] this is the lowest recorded figure since Japan Tobacco began surveying in 1965.[4]

Hopefully Ayu will sack him now.

@Bruised.Sapphire: Your signature!! Thank-you! I was wondering what the tags were, but they were already removed by the time I could check the thread again.

As for smoking in Japan; even if it's popular and isn't banned... wouldn't they know about the health side effects? Or is that just not taught?

I guess they have a "to each their own" way of thinking? I think Chisa smokes too. She was seen smoking in GREEN, and backstage of CDL 04-05 where it looked like she was throwing a cigarette.

It's true, Shuya lost the abs he showed off in BLUE BIRD ;__; Boo, but doesn't matter, he's still :heart

It probably is a "to each their own" thing. As long as they aren't smoking around Ayu and messing with her voice, I wouldn't care much what they do.

:D I think there was also "haters" and "s".

Weight fluctuations happen, and once you get past your mid-20s it's more difficult to keep the weight off. Smoking is not that good for stable weight either =|

As much as he annoyed me always being Ayu's love interest in her concerts it's IMHO kind of unfair to day "oh look at him he's so fat now" etc and feel good about that. He doesn't deserve to be made fun of because he's gained a little weight. He's not even obese just his abs have disappeared a little :P

It's fine. He'll dance it right off again.

Body snarking? Whatever. :rolleyes

Although all Ayu dancers seem to have lots of fun performing, I can imagine how much stress they have to deal with each time. Maybe it helps them, something I'll never understand anyway, I hate smoking.

As for Shuya gaining body, I would say he's just not a boy anymore, it's normal his body changes, he will shrink again when he's 70 anyway. I like him better as he looks now, his solo dance may suck but he's a sweet guy and so yummy @^o^@

LOL maybe this is why Shu-ya was axed for Mannie for the lead role in her PVs...xD

lol who cares >.<
