Awww cute! Here’s a shot from Shop Boy’s Flickr Account called “Tokyo Tower in 1960″ featuring two cute little girls in their Sunday best and a sweet 200cc 1959ish Fuji Rabbit Superflow (come on, SUPERFLOW? You gotta love that) much like this beautiful specimen over here.
It says “BS Eversoft” on the side… but I doubt they were advertising the Braun Silk Eversoft (and I can’t read the text below it). This is the part where I request the assistance from my kind and patient friends in Japan. Kuroneko? Aki?
Thanks for sharing Shop Boy!

I appears to read “ビーエス エパーソフト 販売機”
Which translates as “BS Eversoft Vending Machine”

But it might also read “ビーエス エパーソフト 販売機会”, with the last character out of frame, which translates as “BS Eversoft Sales Opportunity”

Holy Moley that is a beautiful bike!

Arigato to you Artificial Science!
I wonder what Eversoft sold in Tokyo back in 1960.
I like a sales opportunity where I get to ride a classy scooter around!

The wife (born and raised in Tokyo) says it translates as “BS Eversoft Corporation”. She says she has never heard of the name before, but 1960 was a bit before her time. AW

Hey AW! Thanks for checking into it (with your wife’s gracious assistance of course).
It’s probably not related, but it must be difficult for an American to do business with this company without cracking a grin:

I just removed the original vinyl seat cover from my 1973 Honda Trail 70 and embossed on the top of the original seat foam was "BS. Eversoft". I'm guessing they manufactuer(ed) foam.
