I cant imagine a teenager wanting to wear the same swimsuit as her mother and a mother wanting to wear the same swimsuit as her daughter....lets see how long this one last....I think it will go down as another Japanese invention like the toilet roll on the hat!

Well, this is one of the few places in the world where you can regularly see an "M & D" pair shopping, and actually ponder which one looks better. From behind at least.

"The bathing suits, priced at around 10,000 yen for teenagers, and 20,000 yen for women"

I'll bet most women of any age can wear the swimsuits for teenagers. Why pay twice as much if you're 20 or over?

Of course I'm talking about Japanese women, ha ha ha!

When I first clicked on this article I assumed it would be for young girls and mothers. How many teenage girls would be into matching their mothers?

LOL! I hope when they say matching they just mean the same colours! I can't imagine myself in a teenager's swimsuit, and I can't imagine a teenager wanting to wear something I'd be willing to put on!

I too thought they meant the usual "little girl and her mommy" kawaiiiiiiiii crap you often see.
