Last year I reported on ‘Gal-sone’ – petite gal champ of Japanese sucking. The top female competitive eater is “Gal Sone” (ギャル” 曽根) is a slim 5′4″, 95 pound 21 year whose true name is Natsuko Sone (曽根 菜津子). Her name “Gal-sone” is a play on the Japanese katakana word “gal” means young woman who dresses provocatively in the “gal style” and “sone” which is typical sumo name ending.

According to my drinking buddy who wrote in today’s MSN-Mainichi News (Sept. 28, 2007) Silky soft toilet paper is gluttonous glamour girl’s ace in the hole that:

“… Gal Sone apparently attributes her ability to eat like a horse but stay looking like a model to regular clearance of her bowels. “She enjoys her eating, and she’s blessed with incredible regularity that means she’s never constipated,” a spokesman for Watanabe Entertainment, Gal Sone’s talent agency, tells Sunday Mainichi. “She goes to the toilet six times a day.”… goes to the toilet six times a day.”
Periodical check-ups have showed Sone is as fit as a fiddle, despite all the rigorous eating she does. Her handlers say her secret weapon is Hane Niju (Double Feather), the revolutionary new toilet paper she uses. Made by Mochizuki Seishi, a paper company based in Kochi, Hane Niju is Japan’s highest quality toilet paper. It sells for 195 yen for a single roll compared to the average supermarket price of 298 yen for a dozen rolls…more…

Yep, that’s $1.69 U.S. dollars for one roll of TP, sheesh. Check out this YouTube video of Gal-Sone packing down 22 bowls of hot ramen noodles in less than 30 minutes!
