You know some of you who are trying to defend woman in the video because of her weight are truly doing her a disservice.

Yes, some of it was a little offensive (the chicken wing for example) and the ending is questionable. But throughout the entire PV she was funny (entertaining at least), charismatic and clearly confident. After a while I didn't even notice her weight. And I think that was the point of the video. At the end of it all, whether ayu was suppose to be her inner beauty or not, it was a fun, lighthearted video. It's not that serious.

And by the way, there is nothing wrong with wanting to improve yourself by working out. That's nothing to be ashamed of. As far as health is concerned, being overweight is not a good thing. It's not fat-shaming if the character in the video wanted to lose weight. And it wasn't the only thing she did to improve herself, she also went to the beauty shop and bought a new dress. Are we suppose to feel she was shamed because of that as well?

I'm not saying the video was perfectly executed, there were a lot of things that could have been done better. But some of you are being dramatic as usual over a silly music video.
