Condomania is one of the more infamous stores in Japan. Immediately recognizable for its garish (even by Tokyo standards) colors, the Harajuku store decided to go an extra step further by placing this announcement for World AIDS Day whilst shilling for Japanese condom giant Okamoto, which is pretty much the Japanese answer to Trojan.

In addition to some actresses I have no idea about because I am pure soul untainted by any carnal thoughts, the billboard had several messages. Along with the various variations on "NO MUSIC NO LIFE" (Tower Record's ever-so-prevalent slogan in Japan), there were some messages in French and Portuguese.
I don't know why, but it always warms my cockles to see words from non-Anglophone expats here.



Have fun everyone. Stay safe.
