Okay, here’s my blog post about figuring out Mamiko Tanaka’s height, written in the style you described:

Alright, so I got kinda obsessed with figuring out how tall Mamiko Tanaka is. Don’t ask why, it just… happened. You know how the internet is, one minute you’re looking at cat videos, the next you’re down a rabbit hole about some idol’s height. Anyway, here’s how I went about it, like, my whole process, start to finish.
The Initial Deep Dive (aka Google Frenzy)
First, I just straight-up Googled it. “Mamiko Tanaka height.” Boom. But, like, the internet is a MESS. I got a bunch of different numbers, forum posts from years ago, and some sketchy-looking websites. Nothing I could really trust. Some said, 158cm, and others are saying different things. it is a mess!
Image Analysis (aka Staring at Pictures)
So, Google failed me. Time for plan B: look at a TON of pictures. I found group photos, solo shots, anything I could get my hands on. I tried to find pictures of her standing next to other people whose heights I thought I knew. You know, like, “Okay, she looks a little shorter than this person, who’s supposed to be this tall…” It was all very scientific, obviously. wink
I spent, no joke, a good hour just comparing pictures. Trying to find ones where everyone was standing up straight, no weird angles, good lighting… the whole nine yards. My eyes started to hurt, but I was DETERMINED.
The “Forum” (aka Asking Strangers)
After the picture staring, I was still kinda stuck. I was getting a range, but nothing concrete. So, I did what any desperate person would do: I went to some forums. Yeah, I know, forums can be… questionable. But I figured, hey, maybe some super-fan out there has the answer.
I found a couple of threads where people were talking about her height, and it was, to put it mildly, a mixed bag. Some people were like, “She’s definitely around 160cm!” and others were like, “No way, she’s shorter, more like 157cm!”. So, yeah, that didn’t exactly clear things up.
Conclusion
So the conclusion is simple, it is somewhere between 157 and 160.I think it is not important to know the detailed number of height.
