Do Japanese women actually shave their armpits? Korean women do not.

Yes, these days Japanese women shave.
This is relatively recent, I’m guessing only came about the past 20 years.
I don’t mind a little hair if it is soft and wispy, only a few hairs.

That was her arm, not her armpit.

Thats a pretty goofy concept for a commercial. Its not really even funny. The girl sliding around in her underwear is the only redeeming part of it.

> Its not really even funny.
Not to you. It may be a knee slapper for Japanese people. They have quite different humor from the west. I don’t mean completely alien, but the difference between funny and not funny is pretty thin in any culture.
Do you know what they call a really bad joke in Japan? They call it an American joke.
And I am not joking.

It’s funny in that the punchline was unexpected. Anyone recognize the girl? She’s beautiful.

LOL! I LOVE this…especially the ball-return scene. Not only slapping my knee, I almost fell outta my chair laughing!

Most Japanese girls tweeze any hair they have in their underarm.
