YELLOW CABS

YELLOW CABS – Yellow Cab Girls was a term coined by a Japanese journalist (male) in the 1980s to refer to the increasing number of young Japanese women who, with large disposable incomes from the economic bubble, traveled to foreign locations, notably New York City, and engaged in promiscuous sex with Western men. Yellow Cabs referred to the notion that “anyone can ride them”. The term degenerated to mean any Japanese women who engaged in casual sex with Western men. The term has now been supplanted by Roppongi girls, Roppongi being an area of Tokyo with many nightclubs and discos frequented by Western men and Japanese women seeking each other’s company.
