Japanese women growing bigger also mean that they now have more curves like their Western counterparts and thus, Japanese female fashion needs to accommodate this change. Japanese fashion houses and institutes have created 3-D models of the new Westernized Japanese female form to create more comfortable clothes for women compared to the traditional Asian form.

The Japanese used to have shorter limbs and longer body lengths but the limbs have suddenly lengthened a lot. Japanese heads are rounder too. And Japanese women have less body fats than Western body shapes and so Western industrial standards for apparels are out. Even Japanese feet are becoming closer to Western shape. In the past they used to be wider but now they are narrower at the base like Westerners.   (Related:  Toe shortening surgery)

Other more controversial implications of the changes in dietary needs are whether greater intake of sugar is producing more aggressive behavior and hyperactivity amongst Japanese youngsters, a subject under some controversial study in Western countries. Could sugar be responsible for the increasingly difficult classroom situations in the formerly orderly Japanese school system? It is difficult to know.

There is also national pride involved as Japanese sportswomen have made incredible advances in sports and other strength activities. Japanese women marathoners, judo players, beach volleyball players, swimmers are now amongst the world’s best.  (Related:  Leg extension surgery)

There are also famous female table tennis players who show remarkable strength and agility, competing with other adult table tennis players before they even reaches teenage years. This shows the remarkable strength emerging in the Japanese female physique.  

Sportswomen are also known to be taking drinks like the famous bug juice of fireflies taken by a Japanese marathoner to improve her performance. Japanese women are also training hi-tech to focus on specific muscles for different sports to enhance their performance. Many are training overseas absorbing valuable knowledge to contribute back to their motherland like famous female swimmers training in Canada.  

Japanese growth has also drawn some attention in other countries, including the US and China. Conservative right-leaning groups in the US now fear that future generations of children will grow up to be smaller than Japanese because of current Western fears of cholesterol in milk sweeping Europe and the US. Some in the US also marvel at how the Japanese managed to grow taller and bigger without putting on excessive weight or fats like the Americans who are now complaining about their high-fat diet as well as body parts like the bottoms which are excessively huge.

Americans also admire the low heart attacks incidence (although it is slowly increasing) amongst Japanese and study their diets intensely. Japanese women are now the longest-lived in the world and their diet is closely studied by Western government and private sectors . Even more controversial, some Western studies show that genetics could be involved as some Americans begin to feel that other than diet, genetics evolution over a long time could have accounted for Japanese longevity.
