A troupe of dancers in skin-colored body suits had Japanese national broadcaster NHK apologizing to viewers of its New Year's Eve music special for what seemed to be a full-scale Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunction. According to the report from Reuters the dancers appeared to be topless but in actuality they were wearing body suits. They were on stage during a performance by singer DJ OZMA, and the performance prompted 250 complaints to be called in. "The dancers were wearing body suits, but we apologize for any misunderstanding," a presenter announced toward the end of the 57th annual "Red and White Song Contest". "I guess it looked a bit too real," local media quoted the singer as telling reporters after the show I found the video on YouTube after reading the story and I personally can see how some people found it offensive but thought it was a Great performance. you can see the video at http://www.nwo-wmg.org/webblog/index.php?post_id=605
