Maybe "bikini armor" should be a gloss rather than just in the lsrc as 1) a "skimpy armor" isn't necessarily bikini-based while ビキ
ニアーマー is and 2) while Japanese anime/manga stuff dominates the search results, there's some non-Japanese stuff too in google 
books. (a quote from a Manhattan-based publisher, Irene Gallo, in a 2015 issue of Uncanny Magazine, the phrase appearing in a Cory 
Doctorow book from 2016, among other things)

there's some hits on twitter in English too, 
not sure if "bikini armor" should maybe be a 
gloss.
