Hope they don't catch colds wearing only those things.

Mr. Kimura, however, complained that the "Sweet pool juice" was not actual pool water.

WOW!!!! Those waitresses really look great in those swimsuits. I agree with GATSU that they could catch colds in those things. I hope Hollywood decides to remake this movie someday. Personally,I wouldn't mind if an establishment in this country did something like that. Unfortunately,groups like NOW would swoop in like locusts and sue the place right out of business.
On the other hand,it might do well in a place like California,Arizona,somewhere like that.

Those old-type swimsuits with the layered two pieces essentially only exist in fiction and fetish shops nowadays. To my knowledge, they haven't been used in actual schools in ages - nearly 30 years, if Wiki is to be believed. The norm seems to be just a standard navy one-piece, much like those featured in the image, though the ones I've seen in real life have always had white trimming on the straps, too.

Perfect for a cafe themed around fetishes then.

It was a matter of time when they start using other fetish(es) to make their cafe stand out from the rest. Oh, boy. I cannot phantom the attention they get from borderline creepy patron(s). Erk...

Ashiminigun: They'd have to hire porn stars to go any further than this.

It's rare but you can still see the old-style swimsuits being used in rural towns.

When I searched for "NOW" the second result was National Organization for Women, but I am in the USA.
Google must give you different results based on your location.

Those girls look cute to me, but not sexy. Is that good or bad? Embarassed
