The New Tokyo Fashion Trend
April 15, 2008 - 34,647 views
I think the fashion trend in Japan has gotten a little out of hand. The love for animated TV shows combined with a sligtly twisted mind results in a very aukward appearence you’d turn away from. Where are the cute girls imitating Sailor Moon?

Is this a final fantasy live action movie promo?
Freaks forever!
“Aukward?”
Are you from Awkland or something?
These people are just imitating their favorite J-rock & Visuak Key bands. It has nothing to do with anime.
For example, here’s Kyo from Japanese band Dir en Grey

The person on pic #3 might be a huge fan of him.
Is the last one Drew Carey?
Is that last one a dude?
In America, we call those people crazy. In Japan, they call them crazy. Nut jobs exist everywhere.
I really like it. I love seeing people decorate themselves. does it really need to matter why? definitely keeps life interesting! who wants to look the same all the time anyway
Seems like cosplay to me
Only in Japan huh? Looks like a busy day in the South Side of Pittsburgh to me.
Japanese are great people. Too bad their nation is too old like Serbian.
Last chick looks like Drew Carry haha.
The last one looks like a female Drew Carey!
Heck, I find most of those chicks much hotter than Sailor Moon wannabees..
id root a couple of em.
so not “new”. most of those are basic goth for japan, and the scene has been around for a very long time. cool pics, though.
This is hardly “new” – that look has been around for ages.
You are a vanilla dick, wrapped in a manila envelope.
What you say about Japanese culture just shows you for what you really are.
New? The whole cos-play-zoku thing has been going on for over a decade now. If anything, this fashion “boom” has been losing steam over the past few years, not growing.
It’s not fashion
What’s wrong with that? Looks nice — if you’ve been bitten by a zombie. Here in Toronto, it’s all zombies nowadays. Me is one!
It’s just absolutely beautiful!!!!
OMG that last one is totally drew carey
Some how these are shocking you??? I’ve been in the rave scene since the mid-90s and I’ve seen far worse.
They are all (most likely) Harajuku Girls, which is a general term for young people who hang around the Harajuku Station in Tokyo.
Harajuku Girls is a very broad general term used (mostly) by westerners and encompasses all the different Goth, Anime and Punk styles that these people follow.
Honestly I think they’re awesome, simply because their styles are usually completely outrageous, and the common denominator with these kids is “I totally don’t give a flying f**k”
This is to Sokobanja: “Japanese is great people”- Japanese is a culture made up of a certain ethnic group. Japanese people are great and interesting and intelligent. Secondly, “Too bad their nation is too old like Siberian.” You mean Siberia? Siberian is the culture, not the place. And their nation being old, what does that have to do with anything? The history of a place gives it character. You are a fool.
Oh and these girls are Hot!! And courageous for being themselves and living outside the normal box.
Some how these are are perfect and are charming
This is to Sokobanja: “Japanese is great people”- Japanese is a culture made up of a certain ethnic group
I think, that they charming, it is simple, because their all styles unusual are not shocking
Excuse for my bad English language
Most of those are Dir en grey cosplay.
Oh, god forbid Japan had a hard rock scene.
All but TWO of these pictures are inspired by Dir en grey, mostly their older stuff.
YOU GUYS ARE LOSERSS!!!
LIKE GET A NEW FASHION TREND!!! in canda we have REAL FASHION AND A SENSE OF STYLE!!! GEEZEE OMG GET A LIFE
kind of dark anime/metal rock/goth combined!
“Where are the cute girls imitating Sailor Moon?”
They are dead. They have been replaced by something far more savage and beautiful.
Most of those are imitating the Japanese band Dir en Grey. 8 of them, by my count.
They aren’t imitating Dir en Grey. And this isnt new, and its not anime related.
This stuff has been around for a decade. Learn about it.
its a fashion trend dont hate!
if you speak english and have yet to walked the streets of japan than you have now right to speak
over there its about making a statement of newer fashion not about bringing back an old chanel look, this isnt about going back in time.
this isnt back to the past or the future its about bringing about something new
i wouldnt dress that outragous but i dam sure restpect them for coming out with something new!
everything we have seen on the runway has been there done that in many types of varifications…. so come on now its like a new invention … tho its wild and outragous i would only bet you that many of u hatttttererrrrrs will be stealing a few looks from those photographs in the near future.
oh yeah and if you are so into fashion stop minding other countries fashion business. they like it that way…. and its funny that they are most likely smarter than any of ussss! stricter rules!! they get to dress and act how ever the fff**** they want. so i ask why do u care? go to paris and shop for some old couture cut up shirt that we’ve seen a women sink to her death in titanic…. thats not new … more like history
Why are a few of you people dissing this? Get over it, it’s popular there, just cause you think you have more fashion sense from where ever the hell your from sure as hell doesn’t make it the truth, and doesn’t mean everyone will agree with you. Can’t you just appreciate someones style and culture and interests? These are just styles you find in Japan, it’s popular there, it’s called Gothic Lolita, or “Rave Scene” or Goth, just like Abercrombie and AE is a popular style in America.
I haven’t listened to Japanese stuff in forever but a lot of this is clearly Dir en grey stuff. I’m pretty sure these aren’t all girls either.
The New Tokyo Fashion Trend
This article has no point. This was a generalization over an entire population of DIFFERENT people. Not everyone likes Sailormoon. What these pictures are portraying is the J-Rock that is also very popular. It is pretty and creative in its own right. Stop generalizing!!
they are all auckward rubbishes! what the hell they are? human or creatures?
these are not fashion or design,these are nonsense!They must be the 3G of
Humanbeing! Fuck them all!!! TANHU
Just gotta say, a lot of those people are actually cosplaying various J-rock band members. Although I’m not sure if cosplay is the term they use, imitating perhaps?
Looks to be mostly Dir en grey cosplayers.
wow thats soo cool =]]
i would love to live there and dress like that everyday
<333
Sokobanja je najlepsa banja u Srbiji http://www.sokobanja.mobi

Sokobanja ses hi to every one

this is super
Woooow . I wont it to. Hehe
This sort of fashion is hardly a new trend….
well hey if they wanna do that fine wit me. im not them but its such a shame to hide your beautiful self.
Super hairs. Hi to every one
This is great. I wont that hair. Hehe
its sad that these girls decide that this is how they can look cool when what they are realy doing is destroying there bodies by puting on huge holes in there bodies and piercing them and even puting tatoos when they are older they will regret what they did whan their skin is hangig to there knees and they are coverd whith tatoos
Girls are super
Eu achei meio estranho essa cultura prefiro acho mais bonito as garotas de cosplay.
Love it! I love the fact they are expressing themselves beyond the steretotypical “little cute Japanese schoolgirls”. Besides most of the time they don’t walk around like this (you won’t find them at school dressed like this). They usually go the hot spots (like Shibuya) and hang around to be seen…to express themselves.
So nice hairs
Let them dress like they want to, at least in Japan u can do that.
I think everyone should dress like they want to. I hate when people make fun of the others because they don’t have the last trend dressed.
God bless Japan Fashion
Gotta say, while most of them are pretty freaky lookin’ the one with the red spikey hair with the fur liner on her coat and spiked shoulder pads is bangin hot.
Ah most of them are cosplaying the band Dir en Grey! Awesome
retards ! that is not a new “trend” it jusy cosplayers,probably at some kind of anime con. > x <
lol,
thats not sailor moon,
alot of them are dir en grey cosplayers,Japanese fashion is sorta crazy,but thats what makes it cool.
I seriously face palmed after seeing this page…
As mentioned above, all of these people are cosplaying (cotuming) as Japanese musicians from very famous musical groups in Japan that partake in a fashion called “Visual Kei.” Some bands that you can Google to shed some light as to what these bands look like are Ayabie, Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer, and Moi Dix Mois.
A good majority of these, however, are cosplays of the band Dir en Grey’s early-to-mid-90’s outfits.
Before trolling their style and steryotyping “cute Japanese fashion,” learn before you type.
oh my mum–
To conclude. Do you have copies of photos or not, in general I like the show because it was something special!!!!
Of course, thongs are very fotogenicne women, and I think they have a rich culture of dress through the centuries and it is not difficult to do such images such as this, in any case are great photos
He, he, Japanese women are beautiful, and no matter how the paint
Bljak
Incredibly, I could not imagine that this beautiful Japanese women.
spooky
Fantastic, I’m really surprised
photos, bravo!!
Good photos in essence a very good post, great composition photos….
