I've often heard that because of Japan's overly oppressive uniform policies, you'll see things like crazy hair because it's something on you that can be shown off and not covered up.
I'd assume the same goes for fashion. If you're forced into a uniform all day, 5-6 days a week, why not let loose and get creative on your off days?


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
