I doubt whether there will be an increase in people wearing them, though. Body shapes determine the people who'll wear slacks, and I think those who like wearing skirts will strongly resist them.

Instead of being apologetic, Japan is becoming more and more brazen. This worries me. It has to stop.

It’s fun. I like seeing the underside of life. And the money’s very good. I meet different targets every day. I’m not so keen on the old ones and I sometimes get to like the young ones. I sleep with all of them.

The story is very pessimistic. It has a dark and gloomy texture that Japanese movie fans do not find appealing in a ‘comic hero’ film.

The English of most would-be translators is awfully poor. Few Japanese can actually read English accurately.

The Japanese need only to look in the mirror to see the real threat to the alliance and to Japanese economic vitality. Tokyo's policy dysfunctions are going to rankle, whatever administration comes to power in Washington.

Body shapes my left foot! School-girls in skirts are a major source of income for all the anime, comics, and porno industry. Those 3 along with all the old men looking up skirts will make sure slacks never see popularity.
The girls themselves will keep with skirts as long as they are stylish. Blame the likes of Kumi Koda for her "Ero-Kakui/sexy-cool" fads on fashion. heck blame any number of girl groups in the "musical-idol" industry for encouraging young girls to wear skirts, and to make them ever shorter.

Can you believe that at one time in Japan the leading edge of fashion was LONG SKIRTS (the longer the better - Early 1970's). That hasn't been the case for some time but it is enlightening. Part of the issue today is whether or not slacks are an option for girls. If the students are young then factors such as comfort and general acceptability are more or equally important to leading fashion.

I've only ever seen one girl in Japan wear slacks as part of a uniform, and she was Muslim, possibly from Malaysia or Indonesia....
