Ai Otsuka has a new album out . . . Love Jam . . . and the advertising images are a little on the strange side. In fact, they were "sexy" enough that some folks complained and had the billboards taken down. Sexy? Here they are . . .

Sexually explicit really isn’t the word for it. It’s really just a girl with jam smeared all over her face. However, enough folks found the connotation to be explicit . . . that is, they saw a sexual connotation whether it was intended or not . . . and complained. Pointer here.

I too was reminded of bukkake when I saw the images as well . . . the one with the tounge out is a dead give away (you only get that CD cover if you buy the deluxe CD+DVD version of the product, otherwise, you only get Ai with her mouth closed).
