The story
Weekly Famitsu’s Thursday edition featured Morning Musume。’26 member Okamura Homare, sharing recent photos alongside a preview of the new single “Lonely…But not Alone/Yes ka No ka Watashi ka,” out September 30. On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, the reveal of Okamura’s height as 167cm sparked discussion, with users pointing out a discrepancy from a height list circulating back in 2023 (which listed Okamura at 169cm), prompting jokes like “why’d she shrink?” The thread also lit up over how her small face and long limbs make her look taller, along with comparisons to other tall members across Hello! Project.

Kinda looks like the cover of one of those "went back to the countryside" adult videos (a common Japanese AV genre trope)
Pretty sure Koromo-chan is the same breed as Morito's dog, so yeah, toy poodle checks out
What's with this Ultraseven-looking tracksuit lol
Height's about the same as Marii's
But her face is small and her limbs are long
Tallest one of them all and yet the smallest face

Looking at this, a lot of them are in the 160s
Guess she'll go down as the tallest member in Morning Musume。history
Seriously? That's a shame
Wait, Iida was that tall?
In the photo above they look about the same
You'd need like 190 for that now
That's why she's close with Eguchi Saya from BEYOOOOONDS
I'll bring it up
Nah, that one's beside the point
Say that to Kumai-chan's face
Eguchi Saya
Maeko
Nina
something like that?
With Oda and Haru-san next to her, she looks even bigger
Background and Discussion Points
Idol profile heights are usually self-reported figures released by talent agencies, so it’s not unusual for the number to shift due to whether shoes were worn, when the measurement was taken, or updates made after a growth spurt. The gap noted in the thread — 169cm as of 2023 versus 167cm now — is more likely the result of a remeasurement or profile update than an actual decrease in height, and it’s worth being cautious about treating it as confirmed fact rather than an unverified rumor that’s taken on a life of its own. The thread also compared her height to other tall members like Eguchi Saya and Maeko, but since each group publishes its own self-reported figures, precise comparisons across groups have their limits. It’s also worth keeping in mind that impressions about a small face or long limbs are really about body proportions rather than actual height differences.
