I don't think she will ever be big there because their music industry is so image obsessed it's unreal, they are obsessed with youth, beauty and skinny baby faced singers and Adele just sells her music.
It's hard for Western acts to make it in Japan unless you have the "look".
With the language, and even the alphabet, barrier, I could see why that's an issue for Adele.

This is very true. Seeing someone overweight as a singer is alien to them, they probably think Adele's disgusting
Not everything's racist it was more of a statement on Japanese culture not their race.
But how would you know about japanese culture though, are you even japanese?
Even when mariah was on the chubbier side she still had tons of fans there.
Plus 21 was the best selling album of 2012 there, she's not doing well right now because she hasn't had promo there so hasn't built a core fanbase yet. I'm sure in the long run she will slay.

I'm actually a big fan of Japanese fashion and music, so I suppose I know quite a bit about it yes. It's very rare in Japan to have a singer who is overweight. Appearance is very much at the forefront of the Japanese music industry.
