Breasts Save the World

Comet’s coming in the movies, so you blow it up or hide in a bunker or hold hands and wait. Nobody ever figured out the solution until Erina Kamiya made it obvious. Get in a hot tub with friends, let your chest turn into a Saiyajin, boom, world saved.

The video’s stupid and I mean that as a compliment. Kamen Joshi’s the idol group, the YouTube channel is where she actually has some control, and she apparently has the guts to just make the crude joke explicit. She knows what role she’s in, what people show up for, so instead of the usual coy distance, she just leans into it. Yes, look at this. Here’s the stupid funny bit about it, and nobody has to pretend it means something deeper.

It’s not subversive exactly. It’s just honest in a weird way. You know what this is. At least she’s not pretending it’s anything else.
