Keyakizaka members' height changes

Several Keyakizaka members are taller than their officially reported height -- and one is shorter.

Hirate Yurina is listed at 160.2cm. She herself said recently on radio that she is now 164cm tall. Growth spurt. She hopes she won't get any taller.

Take a look at this photo, from Audition magazine:


Watanabe Rika (left) is listed at 165cm. Moriya Akane at 163cm. Shida Manaka is listed at 163cm, too. This clearly isn't true. She's at least 165cm. Watanabe Risa is listed at 163cm, but she is clearly the tallest here -- with all of them standing in the same plane, wearing similar shoes.


The Japanese source that tipped me off to this thinks Manaka is 167.5cm and Berisa 168 or taller.


Sugai Yuuka is listed at 163.5cm. She has said herself she is now 165cm. K46 may have some short members, but it is generally a tall group, in Japanese terms, with Habu Mizuho the tallest, at 171cm (5' 7" plus).

The most interesting discrepancy is Imaizumi Yui. She is listed at 154cm. But she recently apologized in a magazine interview for falsifying her height. She is actually only 150cm (4'11"). But who cares?
