I think that the fact they're sexualising it is worse. (Do we really need to perpetuate some of the already ridiculuous stereotypes about Japanese women that I've heard?)
I don't think anyone in the Japanese government has thought this through.
Also I'm unaware of Hollywood being employed as cultural ambassadors by the federal government. At least not in the same blatant nature that these women have been.

And if you think government's don't use Hollywood to get tourists (state, not federal, but you get the idea):
