Japanese Subculture

 Do you know Kyarii pamyu pamyu? She's a popular Japanese fashion model and also a singer. The picture below is hers.

 I think one of Japanese subculture is Harajuku fashion culture originated in Harajuku which is a downtown in Tokyo.Lots of young people (many of them are teenager, maybe) gather at Harajuku. On the street, there are many shops of clothes, shoes, sundries and foods. A crepe shop is famous at Harajuku and people enjoy window-shopping with eating the crepe.

 Harajuku fashioned people wear unique, original clothes. It's far from simple, but they are cute. Also, they dye their hair blond, light brown, and some people have their hair highlighted. One of the trend is to change the color of under part of their hair. Like the second picture below shows, 90 % of her hair is blond, but the rest of her hair is red!  I saw a girl whose the hair is like this at KGU.  In addition, some people dye half of their hair black, and the half  blond. They're unique and conservative people will be surprised if they see the hair like her.

How do you think of this Harajuku culture?
I enjoy seeing their fashion and I like it:) I'd like to see Kyarii pamyu pam!クリックすると新しいウィンドウで開きます

  7. Modeling the famous people but I do not see people modeling that Harajuku fashion here in Kansai area. From your prospective, is it actually different about fashion between in Osaka and Tokyo?
