Maybe that's that Gothic Lolita stuff ?
but white skin color is beautiful! i have white skin and it looks cool , even when summer is, and you look diferent ...
but i think that, you should ask some japanece boy or girl, why they want have white skin?

may be it's the same reason why white people want to get tan.
I'm asian and asian find that white skin people(speacially girls) look pretty.

The white colour that japanese n asian wants is not the pink white that western ppl have. Basically it's pale white, like some kinda perfect animation skin.

The reason is pretty simple: it looks pretty cute on them if they have bright white skin. On the other hand, if u have dark skin, when u bleech ur hair blonde or very bright colour, it wont fit u.

That's what i think!

honestly, i have no clue. i have pale skin, and would love to have darker skin! (It's so hard to get a tan without burning)
