NHK: Sorry for 'topless' broadcast January 1, 2007
TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- 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 headdresses, 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 towards 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.

Ok, among all of us otaku FGs, at least one of us had to have taped this, right?
If I call in and complain that I didn't get to see it, do you think they might rebroadcast it? Probably not, it's NHK, where true history and sex are both non-existant, but you still have to pay for it!

I had to watch the video to realize those girls weren't REALLY topless. I guess on TV, if they don't turn sideways it would be damn hard to tell.

Here are stills from BS HiVision of the evil titties in question.

Maybe the google video is better (if for no other reason than goggle videos are easier to increase in size).

I finally managed to see the whole kouhaku show and I will add my complaint: there was not enough enka.

I kinda stopped watching TV recently, as so many TV shows have really started become more clonal that before (or maybe I'm just noticing it more now), but I seem to recall that there used to be more nudity on TV like 5-7 years ago. TV Tokyo was always good about providing some breastseses on Saturday night.

Google vid looks waaaay better. To HELL with that early 90's H.263 codec YouTube uses.

Interesting band. Kind of like a yankii version of SMAP or something. Bari bari Sunday night.

Even up close it doesn't really look like a body suit on some of them:
