Japan's fashion rebellion goes West - Page 2

Oh god, I read about this yesterday. I was hoping a fashion as ugly as ganguro would stay inside Japan...but I guess not.

I couldn't even imagine going out in public looking like that over here. It'd be so embarrasing. I'm surprised they haven't been stabbed or anything...

LOL I can't believe I watched that whole video. That was hilarity.

This looks like a freakish version of black-face... I'd like to see them try walking around like that in Harlem or something...

Wow... I don't know what to say...

wow, they are freaky looking. I could not imagine going out like that either. If I ran into them in a dark alley I would scream my head off. That dance looks fun though:P Not as good as An Cafe's though.

Why hasn't anyone else done this yet? This is a fail and a half.

Why can't people......just............. just give up?

I think that's why my ancestors left England, to get away from that.

They didn't pull it off nearly half as well as the Japanese do, in my opinion.

WOW!

What a bunch of crazy people! That looks shocking. Surely they can see they don't look too good...

This one looks alright:

But the ones in MMM's link look shocking...

Uh, that style went out of fashion in Japan ages ago as far as I'm aware...

Weird that people are just catching it now. I think to take something like that, such as Manba and Gyaru saps the life and original intention out of it. Though I guess it's just a fashion and anyone should be able to wear it.

Haha exactly. Gyaru styles are probably the worst and most ironic styles for a person to follow. Plus there are way more British Lolita's than there are Gyaru's. Wondering why they haven't covered that much.
