Japanese Prudes

January 4th 2007 03:23
Was trying to access orble yesterday but it was taking too long. Fucking third world country with its third world ISPs. Anyway, it's about time I update this blog.

TOKYO, Jan 1 (Reuters Life!) - A troupe of dancers in skin-colored body suits had Japanese national broadcaster NHK apologizing to viewers for what seemed to be a full-scale Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunction during its New Year's Eve music special.

The dancers, who all appeared to be topless and wore skimpy bikini-style bottoms and feathered head-dresses, covered the stage during a performance by singer DJ OZMA, prompting about 250 viewers to phone in and complain.


"The dancers were wearing body suits, but we apologize for any misunderstanding," a presenter announced toward the end of the 57th annual "Red and White Song Contest."

"I guess it looked a bit too real," local media quoted the singer as telling reporters after the show, which regularly tops viewer ratings on New Year's Eve in Japan.

This coming from the country of guro, hentai and countless perversions so this news surprised me.

japanese culture is confusing to me with so many contradictions. on this case, i think the NHK was trying to save face and appear to be saving the majority held view of "japanese culture".
