more people might be inclined toward them if they weren't labeled diapers perhaps -- anyone know if the same word in japanese is used for a babies' diaper as well as an elderly person's?

This must have been a joke. Who the hell is going to model diapers to Frankie Goes to Hollywood's gay athem Relax, no way can this be serious.

I saw a japanese video where people were wearing diapers, then they took them off, it all got very messy. thankfully someome with foresight had decided to blur some portions of the screen.

how pathetic however if this is the only language Japanese people understand I welcome further shows on parenting, no more family killings, etc.

Quirinus agrees with romulus3. This really is scraping the bottom of a barrel, what a joke!

Interesting....Frankie Goes to Hollywodd Relax...Now that you're wearing diapers, did the change the opening lyrics from

"Relax don't do it, When you want to go to it Relax don't do it, When you want to come"

to... "Relax GO do it, When you want to go to it Relax GO do it, When you want to pee"

Somehow, I am not surprised at all to see this at Tokyo.

I would guess this show would draw more people with a diaper fetish than actual elderly incontinent types
