PM Kishida of Japan criticizes a ruling party function with dancers in skimpy attire.

Reports claimed that ladies in bikinis were seated on attendees’ laps in leaked video from the Liberal Democratic Party chapter that hosted the event.

Mr. Kishida described the incident as “highly inappropriate and most regrettable” during a Friday grilling by MPs.

Since then, at least one of the party’s organizers has quit.

According to local media accounts, the women, who are allegedly members of the Glamor Dancers troupe based in Osaka and Kyoto, were instructed to use their mouths to accept cash that were dangling from participants’ mouths.

Members of the youth branch of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in the western city of Wakayama attended the event.
