LOL, this is true! They do take photos under very bright lights that soften their features or even blot them out! I saw an interview with Gackt once, (posted on on youtube) he was in a small shop but the lighting on him so blindingly ridiculous! XD

It's so easy to fall in love with a photograph, take away the clothes, make-up and lighting and you've got a pretty average person. A lot of these Japanese stars get their eyes larger with plastic surgery too. So it's really an unnatural and unattainable image to emulate to be honest.
