iPhone App To Scrub Down Gal’s Make-Up “The Suppin.”
On July 3rd, CA Mobile, Cyber Agent's mobile contents subsidiary, released an iPhone/iPod app "The Suppin."(Face without makeup). On the app, which features either Japanese gals or kyabajo-es(cabaret-club hostess. see Neo Japonisme's excellent article if you are interested in), you can scrub down their special makeup - "mori make" explained that high-stacked make-up on the release - by rubbing iPhone's touch screen to see their real faces. You can also see the special shots of them.
Gals version - featuring apparel shop-clerk gals and reader models of fashion magazine on Cute! Girls of town [J].
Cabaret hostess version title.
The price of the application is 230 yen($2.6) but discounted to 115 yen($1.3) by the end of July. Please do not ask me what on earth is so exciting on removing those thick mask.

At the same time on the Japanese web, one girl's surprising make-up video from Nico Nico Namahousou(=on-air live), which is a livestream section of Nico Nico Douga, shocked 2-channel boys [J] by showing their hidden techniques.
