TSF-013 A thorough interview with a 33-year-old male idol fan who woke up as a woman. A man who used to be on the fan side was reborn as a beautiful girl who could rival an idol. Sekine Tetsuya

To get to the bottom of the mysterious condition known as acquired feminization syndrome, in which a man’s body begins to change into a woman’s, we interviewed a former man said to have developed the condition. He is a 33-year-old male idol fan. His originally large 90-kilogram frame reportedly became much slimmer as a result of the transformation. He was quite cute, so when I casually suggested, Maybe Mr. Sekine should try becoming an idol too? he snapped back, Don’t underestimate idols. However, after trying makeup, he was shocked by how cute his own face looked. Could this former middle-aged man be headed for an idol debut?
