They weren't really vending machines, although they worked that way for the customer.

Even when I accidentally walked through a red light district while exploring Kokura town one evening, I didn't see those items being offered up for sale -- in vending machines or elsewhere!<br /><br />And heheh re that faux vending machine outfit. Thinking of wearing it one Halloween? ;bYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-86193258330925765642009-06-22T12:10:19.826+08:002009-06-22T12:10:19.826+08:00No soiled underwear in Japan?
