I think it`s important to point out that people wearing that kind of thing and into the kind of fashion that is so popular to point out as "Japanese" are a very very tiny subset of the population.

Normal people never come close... And in fact, the greater majority of those people seen in photos are "dressed up" for the day and don`t really dress like that in daily life. Think "dressed up weird to get stares because I am bored on one Saturday" - not regular fashion.

It`s always interesting to see the reaction of those who come to Japan with dreams of living in a world of Harajuku fashion... Only to see that the country is 99.999% conservative when it comes to fashion.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
