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.

That's absolutely right, thanks for pointing that stuff out.
I want to add also that most schools don't allow their students to change their hair color at all, so the uniform strictness idea doesn't really work =/
