Excellently put!



Oh! And I got the line that Max Matsuura said from the video!!!!
I got my Japanese teacher as well as a Japanese friend of mine to translate the line and both got exact (or nearly) same translations.

歌はうまいけれど、ビジュアル的にどうなんだろうよいうくらい・・・　太っていたというか。

TRANSLATION
She sings well, but she is fat* that we can't say alot about her looks.

*the actual word is fat, but you would never say it in that manner, so it's interpreted as "chubby".
