[article] Japan TV apologizes for "topless" New Year's Eve shock

Quote:

A troupe of dancers in skin-colored body suits had Japanese national broadcaster NHK apologizing to viewers of its New Year's Eve music special for what seemed to be a full-scale Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunction.

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.

Public broadcaster NHK was flooded with hundreds of complaints from viewers about costumes worn by dancers in a popular annual year-end show on Sunday, which made them look like they were gyrating in the nude, NHK officials said.

Announcer Tamio Miyake apologized for the costume during the program, saying: "We ended up causing misunderstanding to viewers. We're sorry."

NHK received over 250 complaints from viewers about the costumes, worn by female dancers dancing behind musician DJ OZMA during the annual "Kohaku Song Contest" program aired Sunday night. The costumes were body suits designed to resemble a woman's naked body.

"Are they dancing naked?" one of the viewers said in a phone call to NHK.

"It's inappropriate as children are viewing the program," another viewer complained.

NHK viewers up in arms over 'naked' dancers

i think that's a great idea for kumi's future wardrobe !! lol

edit: i watched the clips and the girls lookd 99.999999% nakek :P i i knew they are wearing something and purposely made they looks like they're wearing nothing but i can't get it why they want to do that ?!?!?! the song had something to do with naked ppl ???

edit: i suggest not painting on the nipples onto the suit next time round ^_^;

No Offense, but it didn't look like they were wearing body suits... more like transparent ones

ZOMG BOOBIES.

But it seemed pretty easy to me to tell they were wearing panties, so not so much naked as letting the muffins out to cool. I dunno - the song was so obnoxious I stopped it before the end.

BAHAHA!! If the song wasn't already bad lmao.

...this is odd...it looks like it's real...but apparently, it's not? and what was up w/ the panty stripping at the end? and they cover it w/ american patriotic thingy...wtf?!

they look pretty topless to me~ wardrobe malfunction my ass you could even see the nipple

but oh well~ its DJ OZMA, a guy who is famous for taking off his pants, what else do you expect?

:laugh

eat that! to all those people who thinks Koda Kumi is inappropriate for children.

actually, read odyssey and try to say kuu is inappropriate for children XD;

but yea, that doesn't look fake as much...it's really weird O.o. and from what the performance looked like (i muted the comp so i won't wake the family), it looks crappy, so i'm not surpirsed that they were trying to make the performance better.

Am I the only one who liked the song? x_x

They apologized when only 250 people complained. I would have told them to go get..... thousands upon thousands people with no lives complained about Janet

I can see that...! She should! w00t~!

Well at least people did complain. At first i thought they were really REAL. I even downloaded it and i was like OMG. But after that i watched it on a rebroadcast on American TV and they actually didn't show that part. You could only listen to the music. YA I thought they were real for like the whole time. But i knew something was fishy about it when they did do it.

the host or whatever apologised straight after the performance...
Aiish.. such a bad thing to do at Kouhaku... tsk tsk..

EAT @#%$ KUU HATERS!

Psy, what is your problem?

____

OMG what a performance! Awesome, even without the naked people. =P The song was quite catchy too.

Honestly, I think the suits did not look that real, but it's hard to judge from that bad quality youtube clip. But you could clearly see that it had been used paint f.ex to make the "shadows", where the skin is folding.

Hahahahahaha hilarious!! Very funny!!!

In the end it was quite daring of them :P

sometimes, i am amazed what they put on dancers. and pity them that they have to wear these crazy clothes in public.

Funny. But they should have known better than that. It was inappropriate for an award show. I'd be shocked too if nobody hadn't complained. On Youtube it does look like they're naked but if I was DJ OZMA I wouldn't even had risked it. I think people will get over it.

I like it too!!! nananana nanana!!! is cool song! :D

About 750 complaints have been filed to NHK already. http://www.sanspo.com/geino/top/gt20...007010303.html

They are just boobs. Like no one has seen one or two before. XD

Oh. My. God.

And that's all I have to say about that.

they do have a point there, it totally looked like they were naked. i was like a first, "the yellow dresses aren't really bad?". but then when they started transforming into those body suits.... :roflmao

it made for a good laugh though. especially the song. :irked

craaazy.

Hehehehe I can already see Koda askin 'em, "so, who made your outfits?" for her next performance, (no offence Ko)
