Women of Japan

Breast enlarging massage

Finally we all can have fuller, larger breasts naturally. We women, I mean ofcourse. The  technique is simple and unprecedented. All it requires is a nice pair of hands to massage the breasts. And the rest is upto the imagination. Here's the video showing the natural way to full breasts.

Then there is the cleavage breast growth product that is especially formulated for women who desire fuller, firmer breasts with a safe, easy-to-use, non-staining, gentle cream. The claim is that there are no side effects or discoloration.

                                                        

But there is definitely nothing compared to the natural breast massage. What say ladies ? ;-)

Wedding kimono

If you are a young Japanese woman having a traditional japanese wedding, then it probably goes without saying that you would be renting or buying a Uchikake a gorgeous kimono. The white Uchikake is just part of the elaborate Japanese wedding ceremony.

Unlike traditional Western wedding dresses, that have train or material that flows along the ground at the back of the dress, the Uchikake is long all the way around.The bride has to be assisted by one of her attendants to walk in this kimono.

Here is a nice little video of a geisha being dressed in a kimono.

Cosplay - everything you ever wanted to know about Japanese costume play

Now this might be a little hard for foreigners to understand but many Japanese youth (and by that I mean girls largely) dress up as their favourite character from manga, anime, video games, J Rock or pop band or movie. This 'costume play', if you will, is where we get the word cosplay for short.

Catching up with this trendy fashion scene are numerous cosplay cafes springing up in Tokyo's Akihabara district to cater to devoted anime and cosplay fans. Even the waitresses at such cafés dress as game or anime characters; maid costumes are particularly popular. There is a large range of Maid Cafes.

I dont get it even now but then there they are - these Japanese girls in full glory. See some of the wondrous videos of stunning and hot japanese cosplay.

Harajuku - girls on high-end fashion street in Tokyo

Harajuku is a subway station located in Shibuya, Tokyo and is the fashion street of Japanese youth all flaunting their stuff. The bathrooms of Harajuku station also act as mini dressing rooms for the many teenagers who cosplay or wear the outrageous Harajuku fashions for which Harajuku is famous.

I have heard accounts from tourists feeling pleasantly surprised and who take photographs of the fashionable ladies. Well, here are some pictures from the Harajuku fashion scene. Seeing is believing.

                                    

                                    

Just Run - the mantra for a healthy and sexy body

What is the foremost sentiment that gets evoked from the above image ? If you said ' healthy and toned, tight muscles and sexy body', then you are totally right. Japanese ladies are taking to the streets of Tokyo like spirits possessed. As they say, the quickest way to beauty is to sweat.

Call it the latest fad or the new in thing, Japanese women are thinking about health and fashion in the same breath. They are wearing their sporty best and running or jogging like never before. For them the reality is so clear that they can touch it.

While there is a sense of true empowerment gained by strenuous workouts, these women don't forget to accessorize their activities with femininely attractive sports paraphernalia. "Because sporty is sexy!" declares  Anan ,Tokyo's most influential women's magazine. A headline screams "Women who sweat are beautiful from the very core of their beings."

They take to the streets in groups of 10 or more; they're members of corporate marathon clubs that meet before or after office hours to run and foster female camaraderie. A good number of these teams can be seen running the 5-kilometer, or 3-mile, route around the Imperial Palace, clad in snazzy marathon gear from Danskin or New Balance, the brands of choice for the female runner who is in it less for athletic glory than as a means to stay healthy, pretty and sane in stress-filled Tokyo.

Yes. Pretty, toned and sexy like our lady below.

Where are my running shoes ?  I gotta run.

Forrest Gump would be mighty pleased.

Women hairstyles are indicative of the nation's economy

I did a double take when I came across this article that the hairstyles of the Japanese women track the ups and downs of the economy. But this is a fact that no economist can ever explain. And if you are an economist forecaster then beware 'coz the Japanese women are beginning to cut their hair and wear it shorter.

      

Over the past two decades, Kao, Japan's second-largest cosmetics firm, went to the streets of Tokyo and Osaka and conducted regular surveys of 1,000 women. And the results have been astonishing as well as eerily or funnily accurate.

Historically in Japan, women tended to wear longer hair until the bursting of the economic bubble in the early 1990s. And when the boom turned to bust, the streets of Tokyo took a drastic turn as far as the length of the hair went.

Beginning around 2002, longer hairstyles became common once again, coinciding with a mild economic recovery.And with the current economic crisis gathering more and more momentum, shorter styles are making a noticeable comeback.

Well, the things they dont teach you at Harvard Business School. ;-)

Shampoo Ads now say ' with love from Japan'

Times they are a' changing. And why not. Tsubaki, the latest shampoo hit from cosmetics maker Shiseido Co., show famous Japanese women and an unusually direct slogan: "Japanese women are beautiful." Advertisers are catching on to this fact and featuring Japanese models going against the trend of typical glamorous blondes.

                                             

Japanese women are starting to feel comfortable in their own skins and are starting to have confidence in themselves. Increasingly more and more role models are being found in their ranks, and the Western world especially find Japan and all things Japan to be cool. That is evident in the near global popularity of sushi, "manga" comic books, "anime," kimono and other elements of Japanese culture.

Head shrinking belts are the latest cosmetic fad !

Highly fashion conscious Japanese women are increasingly taking to cosmetic belts to shrink their heads.

 

The five-pound belt can be worn around the head while sleeping. The makers of the “Small Face Make Belt”, called as the Kogao Meiku Beruto, claim that it will help in shrinking the size of the heads over time.

 

For just 855 Yen you can shrink the size of your head, slim the cheeks and iron out that double chin!

The craze for the wacky gizmos has been sweeping Japan for quite some time and this latest fad, in my opinion, is very arresting to say the least. The Japanese seem to have a very clear idea of how they want their faces to look.  Perfection as always !

How long will it take before this fad sweeps across the rest of the 'fashionable' world ?

Japanese women don't get old or fat

What do you have if you combine healthy food habits and close family ties ? Well, you have a Japanese woman. And that is exactly what makes Japanese woman have the worlds longest life expectancy. A Japanese Health Ministry report suggests that girls born last year can expect to live until they are 86 years old, which would make them the longest survivors in the world.

Japan has improved treatments for cancer, heart disease, and stroke that are considered to be the aging population''''s biggest killers. They also have one of the world''s lowest birth-rates and this puts extra pressure on the government. Japan is facing the challenge of how to fund the pension requirements of its citizens, take care of its elderly, and maintain productivity at the same time.

Japanese women live longest and have the lowest obesity rate on earth. What's their secret? This video bares it all.

Pretty wonderful, eh ? Food for thought, I say.;-)

Japanese women and their bras - Part 2

Japanese lingerie makers are pushing forth new environmentally friendly bras that will surely boost the green-esteem and self-esteem of women. Their latest offering is a "Photovoltaci-Powered Bra" featuring a solar panel worn around the woman's stomach that can generate enough electricity to charge a mobile phone or an iPod with light exposure.

The sexy upside to this green venture is that the drinking cups attached to the bra cups makes the breasts look larger according to the models. All this in the name of reducing consumption of aluminum cans and plastic bottles.

Eco-friendly products are gaining popularity in Japan, and the solar energy bra is just the latest installment in the company's line of sustainable undergarments.

Another whimsical offering is a "no shopping-bag bra" that rearranges into a shopping bag. The bag parts fold up into the cups, serving as “extra padding”, and the lace and ribbons become decorations and ties. Now, isnt that how bags are supposed to be !? ;-).  "M'aam , let me hold your bags for you!" now takes on a whole new meaning.
