I didn’t know there was a Japanese word for it, but I know the concept. Things can look “too perfect” and a little nudge in the asymmetrical direction looks more pleasing to the eye.
Like Cindy Crawford’ mole, or George Clooney’s lopsided smirk.

It actually had sonic benefits. The fabric of clothes has acoustic properties that can absorb certain frequencies and create distortion. If one is really and audiophile then one listens completely nude. Even when wearing headphones.

I would imagine that they would then take it to another level by also shaving their entire body, not unlike a competitive swimmer, to allow the sonic waves to flow more freely around the human form and into the ears with minimal resistance if enjoying 2ch setups and may have benefit for headphone usage as well?

I’m glad you bring this up as there has been some serious discussion around this. I myself am currently experimenting with the cochlea theory and have made some interesting discoveries. Allow me to elaborate:
If you don’t know, we can hear by funneling sounds through our ear canal. The eardrum vibrates and passes the waves onto the ossicles and the cochlea. Did you know the cochlea contains little hair cells? They convert the vibrations into electrical signals and pass them on to the auditory nerve.
The cochlea theory assumes that the hair on our body is a more pronounced variant of the hair cells on the cochlea. As such, it is essential to not shave to truly live through the full-body audio experience.
A smaller part of the cochlea theory also involves the cerumen model. Earwax is a natural process of the body to keep the ears clean and cleaning them with cotton buds does more harm than good. As such, it is assumed that the natural oils our skin produce are also essential for the cochlea theory. I have not washed in two months and, let me tell you, I have never experienced music in such a way.
Sure, my girlfriend has left me, but who needs love when you have music?

It’s to a point where I’m considering having two or more naked people stand in my room to act as diffusers. Oh the things we do for the sound!

Allright now, let’s keep this on topic, otherwise M0N will be forced to move this into the naked audiophile thread.

Standing desk is finished, my desk setup has now been reborn! Bought a butchers block from a local flooring store and the frame from deskhaus. Pretty proud of the deskmat choice; it’s the rug that “really ties the room together” and actually makes my purple/orange dac make sense and matches my Acadia frame.
