I wrote before about the girls in costumes inspired after the French maids, working as waitresses in maid cafés (メイドカフェ, Meido kafe) in Akihabara. Their success is still spreading and I have seen maids in Osaka too. And recently, other businesses copied the trend.

Here is a “fake” Akihabara maid, actually one of the salesclerks from the Aso Bit City store… The same type of costume… and of course, she is as cute as a “real maid".

Akihabara, Tokyo
