Images of the 2014 Japan Self-Defense Forces calendar depicting beautiful women in uniform have been popping up on portal sites around Japan. The calendars were created to raise awareness of the JSDF and to “lift morale.” However, with this year’s choice to use, not actual members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, but bikini model Azusa Yamamoto, among others, we have a feeling this calendar will be lifting a lot more than morale.
Let’s take a closer look at a few of the calendar pages:
▼ Japanese idol, Anna Konno
▼ Bikini model and actor, Azusa Yamamoto.
▼ Actor Narumi Konno
▼ Actor Erina Matsui
▼ Voice actor Mai Fuchigami
▼ Actor Mai Hakase
▼ Idol Rina Nagai
▼ Another shot of Rina Nagai.
Applications for the Self-Defense Forces increased by 20 percent with the addition of three moe mascots on their recruitment posters. We wonder how many young men and women this models-turned-military calendar will inspire.
