One of the more unusual niches for an idol to exploit is the domain of 脇 / waki (armpit) appreciation, and even more so when the armpit in question is defiantly unshaven, though most tastefully so.
Just one example, perhaps the only example, of such an idol is provided by 17-year-old belle and waki idol 矢吹シャルロッテ / Charlotte Yabuki (possibly not her real name), who now has an increasingly high profile, with plenty of photo shoots, magazine appearances (or maybe just the one) and the like.

As you can see from the photos, she has good looks and about the most inoffensive growth of hair possible on her, so it is little wonder she possesses more than maniac appeal. In fact it seems more a cunning gimmick, or a way of differentiating herself from a crowd of otherwise similar idols…





I personally find it attractive.
I, for one actually, have armpit fetish but its only for anime girls. It's just like lolicon --- not real girls, but drawn girls. So, please stfu for people who do not understand the power of fetishness. Anime girls armpit are super sexy.
ugh... i thought only russians have those???
not hot at all
I'd rather keep the armpit fetish in 2-d. Armpit shrine maidens and all.
Orange bikini looks hot. I'd lick them hairy pits good.
can not unsee!!! its not reimu's armpits >.<
i think i'm gonna puke
Ahh, this is extra-amusing to me-- we were watching women's diving and I made a comment about how hairless Guo Jingjing's armpits are, and my dad responded with "well, she's Asian"-- but now I have photographic proof for him that Asian women do get armpit hair! =P
It looks as if she has done some careful grooming work...
Isn't this somehow related to the latest cases of armpit sniffers who have beeen arrested?
It will be laughable if those magazines are scratch & sniff type.
Fetishes seems to evolved into another level.
I understand that Anal, Lolicon, meganeko, cosplayers, colored hair, shaved hair, and some other fetishes have it's attractiveness but... ARMPIT?? O_O
I think there's a immediate research need to be done to obtain a proper explanation on this new bizzared fetish...
For me this is as crazy as foot fetish
Don't Want!
你们没人了解真正的我们
It doesn't seem like such a strange fetish to me, but I think it's because I've been on the internet too long. ._.
More, kind sir? Pweeze?!
I happen to know just the Vip thread, but it is mostly clean shaven young ladies and Reimu. Wakiwaki.
I'd lick them!!
The armpit fetish is neither new nor strange, although for most people it's more an extra value than a proper fetish, so you don't see many photo sessions centered about them. You don't have to be desperate for sniffing one to appreciate its form, and a bit of hair is just a way of directing the attention to it.
I'd have to agree with this sort of general sentiment, though without elevating it to mania status. A normal amount of hair is quite natural and not something I would care to begrudge a lady.
