A troupe of dancers in skin-colored body suits had Japanese national broadcaster NHK apologizing to viewers for what seemed to be a full-scale Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunction during its New Year’s Eve music special.
The dancers, who all appeared to be topless and wore skimpy bikini-style bottoms and feathered head-dresses, 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 toward 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.

And the suits aren’t typical dance ones that squish the top flat. I could see lines… but it was hard, and I had to be looking for them. The only reason I set this to NSFW was that if someone didn’t know the whole story, yea I’d say they where topless.
