Maids > Fingerprinting, But By Their Powers Combined…
Japan Probe reports that people flying into Osaka are being greeted with a photo op: a group of cosplayers! Shown in their article are two maids, one of the ten million characters from Gundam Seed that I can never remember the name of, and a Rei Ayanami. Oh, and one of the maids is also a catgirl (double RAWR!).
Kotaku’s report (by Bashcraft) makes note of the recent foreigner-fingerprinting scheme, but having seen this article about the cosplayers, I have a brilliant plan to make the fingerprinting more amenable to the foreigners. It’s very simple:
Train cute maids and other cosplayers to do the fingerprinting.
Who would say no to being fingerprinted by Rei or Asuka? You could even have a couple of charming butlers– maybe a Walter and a Hayate –to help out with any nervous foreign ladies who arrive. Then we gaijin are charmed into giving you our fingerprints. And phone numbers. And money, probably. C’mon, it’s a win-win!

Ha, free pantsu if you let our “maids” fingerprint you without a struggle…
