Kyoko, right, and Mika Kano

Kano sisters promote bicycle-race lottery

TOKYO —

The Kano sisters’ latest promotional effort is the bicycle-race lottery Chari LOTO. Kyoko and Mika attended an event this week to launch the lottery. Asked how she would spend the 1.2 billion yen first prize if she won it, Kyoko said, “I’m good at spending money efficiently. Maybe I’d spend it on race horses or jewelry. Or perhaps, I’d buy a bicycle. Is that what you want to hear?”

But the women deftly avoided answering a question about Kyoko’s real sister who has been accused of stealing several million yen worth of Kyoko’s jewelry.

Chari LOTO will be released at Hiratsuka Bicycle Race stadium in Kanagwa on April 15.

Nah. A lotto fuss over nothing.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, blvtzpk.

I might have a punt myself.

As for avoiding the question about her sister, I think she was just being velodromatic.

Where to start with this story?

That's a lot of money for riding the town bike.

The perfect combination of modern science and pneumatic technology, and the bicycles are quite good too.

They must be in tyre financial trouble if they've been reduced to pedalling lottery tickets. In fact, I'm willing to bet they're saddled with debt.

Ooooh, yes, Kyoko, tell me what I want to hear! WTF?

Not speaking from experience, but isn't that the kind of expression you'd pick up working in a bordello?

I wonder if the bikers are going to give them a ride?

Is it just me or does Kyoko on the right here look like she's constipated as usual?

Sarge - a probable side effect of prolonged taping down of one's testicles.
