As though it wasn’t enough with a solar powered or chopstick or postal bra, lingerie maker Triumph International has launched the “Konkatsu Bra.” (marriage hunting). Japan’s marriage rate is falling and the average age at which women get married is over 28 years, relatively late for a country in which single females were once considered over the hill at 25.
The novelty bra features a timepiece, a holder for the traditional seal that some people use to sign off contracts and a pen for those nuptial agreements. The clip says it all.
In Japan nearly 57 % of women under the age of 34 are unmarried giving the 3800 match making companies there enough to do.
I don’t know…I think I’ll stick with the Bro (or Manssiere).

My friend is an American guy and found out that his Japanese wife – Junko Muto of Tokyo – is already married to another guy – She never got divorced from her first husband!!!!
My friend met her and married her in Japan and had registered with the local government office as required in Japan. However, the Japanese wife as it turned out had been married to another man in the US. This US marriage was a legally recognized marriage in Japan, consequently, according to Japanese law, she was guilty of a crime, bigamy.
Eventually the American guy had to enagage legal help, which took an incredible amount of time and money that he had to pay to get the mess sorted out. He had to engage both US and Japanese legal counsel and ended up in Japanese family court.
My friend was uncharacteristically naive and was taken advantage by this girl looking to meet a well off foriegn guy. The word is that this Japanese woman is back out looking for the next guy, so please BE CAREFUL!
