Okay lyraz lemme explain: In various "race car" events and also car exhibitions and the like, all famous brands of cars in japan use female hostesses to add some appealing view for the visitor. ever saw a video game show like E3 with all the girls ? it is the same but for car users. Usually they do not need to be mostly cute and are not especially choosen among stars, fashion models or the like but what makes a race queen is the uniform ! each car brand or team has its own design/colors associated and so those girls are like living "flags" bearing the logos and colors of the brand/team. Often seen in pair, or more numbers. The uniforms are usually meant to be sexy and colorful... to have a better view of what are Race Queens, go to Teppan/T-Limited website and check the "camera" or whatever section (not the poser one) and even if all the links there are in japanese click on one of them (maybe those with "New" as it will feature newest events he took in picture) and you'll find shots of race queens of various team. look at freebies of Teppan too, he made many famous team uniforms such as banpresto, and such. i know we are not accustomed here to see that but well, watching cars racing in circle for hours can be boring, i think it had some cuteness and color to the whole process :) this, with popidols, are something typically nippon
