Japan Prefers A Cup Boobies, Only Saitama and Hyogo Like ‘Em Big

Good to know ...

Good news to all you flat-chested ladies out there: recent research suggests that Japanese men may prefer an A-cup to any other bust size.

Last month, Japanese healthcare product retailer LC Cosmetic conducted a poll in which they asked 1619 Japanese men across the country their “ideal bust size.” LC Cosmetic divided the results up by prefecture and visualized them on the map above; a quick look at which reveals that men in over half of Japan’s prefectures prefer A cup women.

A breakdown of the results is as follows:

■Japanese men’s “ideal bust size” by prefecture
A Cup: Aomori, Miyagi, Fukushima, Ibaraki, Yamanashi, Nagano, Gifu, Ishikawa, Fukui, Wakayama, Tottori, Shimane, Yamaguchi, Kagawa, Tokushima, Ehime, Kochi, Saga, Kumamoto
C Cup: Hokkaido, Iwate, Yamagata, Niigata, Toyama, Tochigi, Chiba, Tokyo, Kangawa, Shizuoka, Aichi, Shiga, Okayama, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Oita, Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Okinawa
D Cup: Saitama, Hyogo
※ Gunma, Mie, Kyoto and Nara had an even split between A cup and C cup, and Akita couldn’t make up it’s mind between A, B or D.

This is an interesting turn of events: according to a similar survey by LC Cosmetic about average bust sizes in Japan, out of all Japan’s 47 prefectures, only Saitama women had an A cup average. Yet looking at the results above, Saitama is one of only 2 prefectures whose men prefer women with a D-sized rack.Saitama has always gotten a bad rep for being the “boring” or “lame” prefecture, but this is just embarrassing…

The reverse can be said about Gifu prefecture, where men dare to dream of A cup chests in a land where E cup is the norm.

In addition to the two surveys above, LC Cosmetic has also polled Japanese women on what color panties they wear when going on dates they plan on ending with a “bang.” At this rate we wouldn’t be surprised if LC Cosmetic is compiling a regional guide for finding the perfect Japanese lover.

When Joshua Samuel Brown first stepped out of the passenger terminal at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in Taiwan, he was a stranger in a humid land with insufficient funds, zero job prospects and an over packed suitcase. Like much else in his life up to that point, his decision to move to Taiwan was based largely on random occurrence and cosmic coincidence. He was twenty-four years old, thousands of miles away from home, and at that moment the happiest man alive. This anthology of short stories, travel essays, photographs, random meditations, and political meanderings grew out of his years on the island formerly known as Formosa.

Becoming Japanese: Colonial Taiwan and the Politics of Identity Formation

In 1895 Japan acquired Taiwan as its first formal colony after a resounding victory in the Sino-Japanese war. For the next fifty years, Japanese rule devastated and transformed the entire socioeconomic and political fabric of Taiwanese society. In Becoming Japanese, Leo Ching examines the formation of Taiwanese political and cultural identities under the dominant Japanese colonial discourse of assimilation (dôka) and imperialization (kôminka) from the early 1920s to the end of the Japanese Empire in 1945.
Becoming Japanese analyzes the ways in which the Taiwanese struggled, negotiated, and collaborated with Japanese colonialism during the cultural practices of assimilation and imperialization. It chronicles a historiography of colonial identity formations that delineates the shift from a collective and heterogeneous political horizon into a personal and inner struggle of "becoming Japanese." Representing Japanese colonialism in Taiwan as a topography of multiple associations and identifications made possible through the triangulation of imperialist Japan, nationalist China, and colonial Taiwan, Ching demonstrates the irreducible tension and contradiction inherent in the formations and transformations of colonial identities. Throughout the colonial period, Taiwanese elites imagined and constructed China as a discursive space where various forms of cultural identification and national affiliation were projected. Successfully bridging history and literary studies, this bold and imaginative book rethinks the history of Japanese rule in Taiwan by radically expanding its approach to colonial discourses.
