Japanese advertising agency has started selling ad space on the armpits of attractive young women, snagging a beauty treatment clinic as its first client.

The Wakino Ad Company - “waki” is the Japanese term for armpit - was set up earlier this year as a subsidiary of the Liberta beauty products firm, which does a brisk trade in items designed to make armpits beautiful.

The company’s web site has images of sample adverts, with a rectangular, full-colour ad measuring nearly 2 inches by 4 inches nestled snugly into an armpit costing ¥10,000 (£68.60) for one hour of exposure. The models displaying the adverts are pictured grasping overhead handles on trains or stretching to show off their armpits.

Most red-blooded guys would certainly look at her.

But I wonder if the picture is really authentic because the ring on the commuter strap is devoid of advertising . . . maybe even the strap as well, though not enough of it is showing to tell for certain.

Even the automatic bus station annoucements have a little paid avertising in them. For example "Matsudo Yon-Chome, Takashimaya Mae"

(Matsudo 4th Street before the Takashimaya department store)

“Great for a Deodorant ad..................”

Or a school teaching armpit fart songs.
