For some reason this never struck me as odd before, but I just realized that the poster girl for the Japan Post Office's Yuu Pack express service is a scantily-clad woman wearing hot pants and a single elbow-length red rubber glove. The doctor will see you now...

Between postal inspections and capsule robo g, your blog is going to give me nightmares.

You know what's wrong about majoring in media when you go to college?
I see a poster like that and read WAY too much into it. Were I to de-construct it, you might think me some sick, twisted pervert.
So, any word if postal use has increased? or are otaku just stealing the posters and being all moe about them?
MOE BURGER! AARGH!

No just any girl, but Robo-idol Aya Matsuura. Nothing will ever top her video for hit single Ne?

I remember when Koizumi was on his Postal Service reform campaign, there was some photo op at the post office with really scantily clad women wearing outfits that were themed like post boxes. The slots were in the breast area. Can't find the image just now...

I'm blind now, I hope your happy. Really did the director for that music video go "you know I don't think I have enough hot pinks and oranges in this video."

Nice video. It's obvious saccharine hasn't been banned in Japan yet...!
