The Lucky Star girls being used to promote whats known in Japan as "Delivery Health" - girls come to your house to provide "health" services...
Via Neta.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

I can only wish that the use of Lucky Star characters is because they have taken over the premises of an anime/manga store and have yet to produce a suitable promotional poster.

If they are indeed sending Lucky-Star cosplaying delivery staff, then .. hmm ..

  I suppose it's legal. I recall they would hand out little cards a few years back to people. The cards contain pictures of the health care staff and their numbers.
  
  I suppose since such delivery service is always going to be around, it's better to regulate it (to ensure the health care staff undergo periodic checkups, etc) than to drive it underground.
