A Japanese board is heated up with debates about Japanese star Aya Hirano and her seemingly upside-down bikini photo published in her 2009 calendar. To be frank I wouldn’t have noticed the mistake if I didn’t read it from Tokyomango; it’s just a cute pic for me… ladies might have sharper sense on this kind of malfunction though…

A forumer has ‘corrected the mistake’ via image editing… nice job lol…

    Lol, that’s funny. Yes nice job on he retouching. Although she might have started a new trend in wearing upside down bikini tops.

    Strange but she also looks a little cross-eyed in that photo.

    Ha ha I looked at the board. “Aya Style”. so true.

    A new trend? Maybe lol, but not likely. Initially there are debates on whether it was done on purpose as fashion, but it doesn’t look right regardless, especially when comparing to the retouched image.

    ROFL. I didn’t realise the mistake when I had a short glance. But after a second and proper look, then only I realised the mistake.

    Haha. How can she put that on upside down?
    She’s really pale.

    actually, it could be possible that she wore it upside-down accidently.
    i’ve done it before, lol.
    but i fixed it as soon as i realized it didn’t feel right.
    for some bikinis, it’s obvious which is the top and bottom, but for others, it’s harder to tell.

    maybe she wear that way in purpose, trying to be different mah. she still looks cute :)

    the japanese forum are more focus on talking on how small her breast is. ai.. those japanese perverts.

  9. #9. deadkitty1 on September 7th, 2008

    Wow! I didn’t even notice! But she is wearing the wrong bottom for the suit. xD

  10. #10. xshadowfire on September 7th, 2008

    are you sure that’s even the same bikini? I don’t see any strings in the bottom half of the one she’s wearing.

  11. #11. Yein Jee on September 7th, 2008

    xshadowfire… someone noticed this finally lol. Ya, it’s different… even the upper-half is a bit different. Still, I think both bikini should be worn the same way :)

  12. #12. cole on September 7th, 2008

    It’s not the same. The other bikini top also has a bow-tie between the bra area instead of a string.

  13. #13. Mei on September 8th, 2008

    It’s possible that she wore it that way for more coverage. Since she is kind small on top, if she wore it the correct way the top part would probably gape open when she moves. The way she’s wearing it with the wire part up gives her more coverage and less chance of exposing herself.

  14. #14. Mei on September 8th, 2008

    Notice how the strap on her left shoulder is gaping a little because it doesn’t have any wire to make the fabric stay put.

  15. #15. Yein Jee on September 8th, 2008

    Mei… I have to read your comments a few times to understand what it means lol. You could be right… but isn’t it more dangerous (of exposure) if her lower chest is not wire-supported?

  16. #16. Mei on September 9th, 2008

    Yein Jee, lol, you might be right but with the skinny straps going around her body (usually would be tied around her neck) she can pull it tight around the lower part of her body and knot it tight. And since she’s small there’s really nothing to fall out from the lower part of her suit, lol. The thick strap probably only has a hook for one position and is not adjustable. Then again who knows…she may have really been clueless, lol, but I just noticed that it seemed to fit her well this way. I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.

    I think she wore it right. The suit on the right is a little different. Even if she did wear it wrong, it’s looks nice.

  18. #18. hafizi nahar on October 16th, 2008

    if i have enough money,i promise that i will buying 2 sets of baju kebaya for her.

  19. #19. hafizi nahar on October 16th, 2008

    i really want to know where she live? tokyo? osaka? nagoya?

    if she’s a star,where and what is the name of the agency company she work at?

    what’s her agency’s phone number and address?

    and it’s e-mail address too.

    i really hope that her manager is female.kalau lelaki,mesti tak layan punya.

  22. #22. Yein Jee on October 17th, 2008

    Her agency is Space Craft…

    [...] note, that’s a really cute picture of Aya Hirano in a traditional Malay costume. Forget about bikinis… do more traditional stuff instead [...]
