Thread: Harajuku Girls

harajuku is a section of japan where the style of dress is such as what youve seen. it has nothing to do with gwen stefani except that a lot of people had never heard of this style until she started copying it, if thats what you mean.

and, youre right, not all of them are girls, its just the style thats "cool" where they are. its less extreme counterpart is shinjuku (also tokyo) where they do have a distinct style but its not as outlandish as it is in harajuku.

wow. .. didnt know they went that far but thats really cool.

Yeah, its pretty interesting to see some of the getups they have.. some are pretty out there too. Its like Live Action Anime, 'cept... not? Heh..

...thats weird ... and scary @_@....

They tend to dress in "costume" and gather in specific areas all over Japan. Their costumes are pretty interesting. They vary from over-done school girls, to gothic nurses.

Here's some examples:

Punk Harajuku
Blue Harajuku
Red Harajuku

What do you know about Harajuku? Note: They're not all women.

That is very creepy...School girls? Ok. But gothic nurses?! eh...

Why is it creepy? Ok, I do kinda understand why you'd say that. But hey, aside from whatever, if you look at the effort and the actual design and effort they put into their costumes, its pretty cool, and detailed.

Are these the some of the people pictured in Shoichi Aoki's photo book "Fruits" and the continuation "Fresh Fruits"?

I love looking in those books whenever i stop in Barnes and Nobles XD.
