Several readers have asked me to repeat my favorite column. That is quite difficult. Actually, there would be two but neither was ever written. There are many questions that are never selected to be in a column.
The first was from a young woman who came to Japan as a singer to appear in nightclubs. Instead, she found herself billed as an exotic dancer. However, the money was good and no one here knew her, so she continued to perform. She had dropped out of college to take the job and had left a boyfriend behind, but once begun, it proved difficult to quit.
There was a problem. She had become concerned about reports of negative reactions from taking birth-control pills so she had stopped. However, the result was that her once-ample breasts had been reduced in size and her popularity was similarly declining. She wanted to know of a good doctor who did breast augmentations.
