Health product company owner, Akihito Ishii, was arrested yesterday for selling a breast enlargement medicine that had no effect whatsoever. A violation of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law.
Ishii-san promoted the product by saying, “No matter what bust size you have, you’ll be two sizes bigger by the following month. You’ll easily make that D-cup bust you’ve always wanted.” A bold claim indeed.
Unfortunately a large number of women fell for this outlandish sales pitch, and it is estimated that 36,000 boxes of the breast enlarging tablets were sold. Netting Ishii a cool 200 million yen (1 million pound) profit.
Those who took the pills said they had no side effects, but at the same time no effect in the breast department either. Which in some cases is perhaps just as well, as investigators are directly accusing Mr. Ishii of selling 48 boxes of tablets to a 27-year-old woman and eleven others. That’s a lot of tablets. Just imagine what the young ladies would have looked like if the medicine had worked.
And whilst you ponder that scenario, here’s an innocuous picture of some fruit to pass the time.
Toni says
Innocuous indeed! LOL. Imagine if these pills were real…those 98 lb women would topple over forward at the weight of their breasts.
Rachel says
Ah, so that’s why those melons cost 10,000 yen per, er, globe. I guess they are the embodiment of what a lot of people obviously long for.
Charlie says
Funnyyyyyy…If you such things – well I know you do – can I recommend reading Extremes: Contradictions in Contemporary Japan by a guy called G M Thomas. Lots of fresh insights in to the Japanese way of life and, unusually for a travel writer – some sexy stories as well. I bought it off amazon.co.jp and I think its available from amazon.co.uk
La Bella says
LOL
OMG, that’s CRAZY!
That stuff does NOT work!
The only thing that will augment your breast size is IMPLANTS!
And pregnancy! LOL Oh yeah, and BREASTFEEDING…
Hillarious…
Lee says
Thanks for the tip Charlie. I’ll look out for it the next time I go book shopping.
The best Japan book I’ve ever read is The Roads To Sata by Alan Booth. Essentially it’s a travel book tracing Booth’s trek across Japan, but it really is so much more.
I first read it when I was waiting for my Visa to come through before I made my journey out here. I learnt so much about Japan (and the Japanese) from Booth. Both the good and the bad. I read it again after I’d been here for a few years, and I got even more out of it.
A terrific writer who sadly died of cancer at a wastefully young age.

Operation: Japanese D-Cup
I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. [/Agent Smith]
One night I was up late watching some TV show about sex in society. This particular episode was about breast sizes. It claimed that Japanese women’s breasts have been getting bigger over the past 10 years. They pointed out less A-cups and more B and C-cups (keep in mind that Japanese sizes are one cup below American, so a Japanese B-cup is an A-cup, and a Japanese A-cup means she has the chest of a little boy). They speculated that the cause has been the introduction of more foreign foods into Japanese women’s diets, particularly McDonalds (brings a whole new meaning to Super-Size Me). They also speculated that by the year 2008, there would be no more A-cups in Japan, and more B and C-cups. D’s even. The men on the show were, needless to say, thrilled about this.
Japan is a breast-loving country. This is the ONE thing I have in common with Japanese men. To further add to my list of Japanese Oxymorons, the men here love breasts but the women just don’t have them. I’ll see a C-cup every now and then, but it’s pretty rare. It’s actually kind of sad/depressing, but I’m learning to live with it. Anyway, so the men love breasts. Pretty much any girl who develops a decent set, her family may as well just pull her out of school because she’s got a career as an actress/model/porn star guaranteed. In fact, the only big-breasted girls I see are the ones on TV. It makes me think that Japan sends out scouts to scour the cities, plucking young ample-breasted maidens off the street and rushing them to Tokyo to wear bikins and bend-over a lot in front of cameras.
This is also why anime is filled with large breasted 14 year olds. It’s fulfilling *two* Japanese male fantasies at once – the lolita thing and the boob thing.
So anyway, one day I was in the teacher’s room at school, looking out the window at the school-wide practice for Sports Day. The kids were doing these human pyramids…getting on their hands and knees, stacking themselves five, even six levels high. I look at the poor girls on the bottom, or anywhere really, and I think to myself “That can’t be good for their bodies.” Then it hit me. People blame Japanese genetics for the lack of tits and ass, but I don’t think that’s it at all – I think they’re doing it to themselves.
Ok, bear with me here. Name me a few big-breasted female gymnasts, ice-skaters, sprinters, swimmers, etc. But don’t think too hard, because you can’t! These women have been training hard since they were kids…puberty…the formative years. Boobs are nothing more than fat sacks, so with all the physical activity they went through the boobs never had a chance to develop. Come to think of it, all the girls I knew in Jr high who did basketball and swimming and what not didn’t get big boobies, while the ones who gossiped during PE developed decent knockers.
So, now the Japanese girls. These girls are playing their sports clubs every day, two hours a day, six days a week. Then they go home and consume a diet of fish and rice…not a whole lot of fat there. And what little they are eating, they burn off the very next day at school! The introduction of McDonalds is probably introducing a very much needed fat concentration into their diets, which would account for the recent upward trends in bra sizes. However, if they just stopped all this sport club nonsense, or even just toned it down a little…my God, think of the possiblities!
Knowing that Japanese men, much like myself, are avid breast lovers, I decided to share my findings with a Japanese male friend of mine. I was hoping there was some sort of Science of Breasts Ministry he could contact, and in a few weeks we could get Operation: Japanese D-Cups underway. I carefully explained my observations and detailed my findings. He listened intently over his beer, giving me a few thoughtful nods, and when I finished he crossed his arms and said “But, I think if our women eat more McDonalds and exercise less, then maybe they’ll be as fat as American women.”
Ouch. Feeling my American Pride slightly damaged, I decided I needed to come back on the quick and defend my country. So I shot back with “Maybe, but at least they’d have breasts.”
He took a long drag from his cigarette, looked off into the distance, and said “Soo da ne.” Translation – “That’s right, huh?” Damn skippy, son.
America 3, Japan 0.

gooooooooooooood
Brandi Belle says
OMG! This is more than funny!
It really made me laugh!
Thank you very much for sharing! 🙂
Laura says
georgina,
weird how that guy could blast American women, when I have seen more American women fitting the thin, busty type that anime fans drool over, then Japanese women fitting it.
lily says
lol! However, I don’t fully agree with it; breasts are not only fat but also mamary glands. Some very thin girls have pretty large breasts and it is because of the later… it is genetic…and those ‘lucky girls’ (boobs on the stck :P) are much more frequent in caucasian population than among asians.
The Envoy says
Big breasts are not universally appealing though.
nasser says
pleas you send short film
stella antwi says
hi, how are you want a medicine for my big breast.
Please try and prescribe a medicine for me.
Thanks.
Emile Farah says
I’m sure Japanese man love for their women to have huge breast, but i don’t think this medicine can really work, than again this world is full of suprises.
Jenn says
ok.. the person who wrote that big blurb up there, who I will not even give the time to go up back to the post and refer to their name cause it would be a complete waste of time, is a moron. To say that the introduction of mcdonalds is a much needed thing for japanese or chinese girls to get tits is ridiculous.. your a moron.
samuel welsh says
More focus on a womans character,brests are really not that important.
Wham says
I never knew about this story until now. I feel that women on the outside will say that they are content with their size. But just like men, they will take a chance on change when no one is looking.
The pills in the cabinet, the surgeon in LA. Even when celebrities change, they never admit it. Weird that we all carry this sort of hypocritical self-esteem, and deny that we want to look better than what we are now.
