TOKYO —

Eriko Sato, 26, Harumi Nemoto, 27, and other models of the Yellow Cab agency on Friday unveiled an original ultrasound dieting device, called “NARL Design Body,” which Sato designed. “It’s simple and cute shaped. I hope men can also easily handle it,” Sato said.

Nemoto, who used the device for one month, said, “My waist has lost 8.5 cm. The machine doesn’t look like a diet tool and it’s quite easy to use. Now, if only it could stop my breasts from sagging.”

Harumi had been piling on the pounds and had been shockingly heavy. Nice to know she's taking steps to reclaim the figure which made her famous and the object of many a fantasy.

The irresponsible name of that agency (Yellow Cab) sums up what these management offices are all about. Do the girls know what their agency name means ? Those mafia-linked managers are scum.

I think I'll stick with my "7 minute abs" video.

I though Shinshintou was the new diet machine.

"That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in trouble, huh?"

Is this gadget really a 'diet' machine? Diet is connected to consumption of food and drink, right? This machine just stimulates secretions in the body which leads to weight loss. Ergo, it's a weight-loss device, not a 'diet machine'.

“It’s simple and cute shaped. I hope men can also easily handle it,”

Seriously, is she talking about the machine or something else entirely?

It seems to have made their legs all short and stumpy.

I though Shinshintou was the new diet machine.

I thought it was "Slendershaper", or was that last year? Or was it Billy Blanks last year? Or Chinese tea?

I just can't remember.
