Japanese ladies asked which fashions they secretly fancy trying yield up a telling list of contemporary and not so contemporary Japanese fashions, most of which will be instantly recognisable – in the event they are not some helpful illustrations are included.
1. Age-jou dress and high-rise hairstyle [these extravagant fashions are associated exclusively with cabaret club girls]
2. A dress fit for a princess like Marie Antoinette
3. Romantic Taisho or retro Showa period Japanese attire [early to mid twentieth century Japanese attire with western influences]
4. Oiran [oiran were high class Japanese courtesans, along the lines of geisha but with a greater emphasis on sex]
5. Maid
6. Goth Loli
7. Mori gal ["forest girl" - a style defined simply by it looking as if the wearer belongs in a forest setting]
8. Lolita
9. Anime cosplay
10. Bunny girl
Once again an almost universal hatred for otaku is hard to reconcile with a secret desire to cosplay many Japanese women seemingly hold.

It's rare I say this, but I would be into ALL of these things for a cute Japanese girl. Yummy!
what about Nazi cosplay , its popular in japan i hear .
Go Fuck yourself
I seriously think I could really go for a cute girl dressed up as an Oiran.
Romantic Taisho or retro Showa period Japanese attire, also sounds like it could be very alluring.
Of all fetishes to experience, these sound so sophisticated and satisfying.
i m a guy so that dont do it 4 me lol
I'd hate to say this but... the body shape! not all women are... (i'm not saying it)
Forest Girl.
Be one with nature, release your animal side. Inside her.
Lolita! Oh!~
I encourage all who are looking at this article (mostly females to try thiry this) and if guys try this it will just be for comedic relief.
Number 4 is classy, especially if it's like the image above.
On number 9 you've got anime cosplay.
But doesn't anime cosplay include all the rest?
I ll take the full package ...
Women always hate what they secretly dream about.
The same mechanism is when she says "no" and desires you will do as if she said "yes".
Woman. The only internally contradictory being in nature.
Those are not women,
simply girls.
"No" means "Yes!"
"your resistance only makes my penis harder"
5. Maid = FTW :)
Ok, I just don't get the bunny girl fetish. I've never got it. It doesn't look good. It didn't look good when Hugh made it mainstream (or invented it), and it doesn't look good now.
Animal ears for that matter don't work outside of cat ears, but at least they don't include a whole bad looking ensemble.
Nekomimi is the way to go ...
And bunny girl was invented in America, so it's a fail anyway
Girls hate otaku but they are doing things that make otaku like them even more.
I foresee this ending in raep.
There is a SEVERE lack of catgirl >.>
I'd like to try them all except the first one ^_^ I've already done some cosplay though :P
Artefact, the picture you used for "Lolita" is Goth-Loli. The picture you used for "goth-loli" more punk.
It's not hard. :/
So I'm not the only one who noticed this. I laughed, though.
You know I have a fetish for women covered in anything expensive. So I would love to see my gf in a princess getup.
I'm down with gothic.
I'd try mori gal if it's equally appealing in men's fashion. I'm big into plants, by the way.
High-rise hairstyle: See Kid 'n Play. That said, I'd wear it like a badge of honor!
I'd also wear #3. But what I'd really like to try is something that feels very martial arts.
I'd really like my girlfirend to try out 3, 5, 6, & 7
Mori Gal is kinda new to me......Maybe we should have a gallery on it ?
I specially approve of the Oiran, the head accessories would be interesting to see.
Fashion I'd secretly like to try: Scottish Kilts
maybe after all "NO" means "YES"?
"3. Romantic Taisho or retro Showa period Japanese attire"
Oh, hell yes.
Why is the worst thing #1 ? - it only proofs that women have no real sense for aesthetics
...and bunny girl wtf, everyone knows that nekomimi is the best
forest gal? wtf?
the only thing that comes to mind is a ranger with light leather armor, leather boots and a longbow. well, it's not the worst kind of fashion.
I always wanted to try those ;--; No cat girl? What a shame.. I thought with the massive "Nyas" it would be on there
aw, why did i find this so cute. they secretly want to cosplay :3
I'm okay with this.
1. Ikebana style?
2. Need Oppai for that
3. I love these! http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/vivit2008/imgs/4/5/459795c3.JPG
4. Geisha style for the win , but save the pale face lol
5. is maid normal fashion now lol?
6. Goth Loli , not dislike but just no comment
7. Little red riding hood etc?
8. for cute girls only
9. and you say anime is only for otakus
10. classic rocks
#7, Mori Gal, is more about warm colours and perhaps nature spirits. See; http://somethingborrowedornew.blogspot.com/2010/02/mori-gal-subculture.html for examples.
And wouldn't Little Red Riding Hood normally be considered Lolita? Red has quite an ability to stand out in a forest as well, imo.
Romantic Taisho looks good, but I still think that Maid is the best one =)
4, 6, 9 please!
5 and 7 too :3
I'm a guy. Can I do it too?
Convert to Hideyoshi and you can do........... ANYTHING!
There needs to be a male version of this top 10 list.
I bet there will be one... and I also bet it will be the same list lol.
Only if you make decent trap material
So what's the problem?, like if dressing like that would push police to arrest or bash you or anything (unless it's roleplay, then it's sexeh)...
cost of clothes?
in the end everyone has a similar chain of thought otaku or not otaku!
3,4 & 6 for me.
wow almost everything except for 1 (maybe 2) of all these are in my preferences
but seriously tho, does anyone find high rise hair attractive??...anyone?
"1. Age-jou dress and high-rise hairstyle [these extravagant fashions are associated exclusively with cabaret club girls]"
Really? I guess I'll never understand fashion.
I'll take selections 6,8, and 9.
#1 picture is a poor example of age-jou. People get the wrong impression from the troll hair. High-rise hairstyle means extravagant style rather than tall. Just google image 'ageha.'
Oiran picure looks fabulous.
Now I want to see Manaka dressed like an oiran...
I like the Princess Idea
just a royal sucker for garter's and anything frilly I am.
Removing that frilly princess outfit is like devouring delicious fresh cream cake with strawberries... OM NOM NOM NOM...
5, 9, and 10 please me greatly.
You are so cliché, bloke.
I fully approve No.5, 6, and 8...~ :3
Err, aren't 6 and 8 supposed to be the same? Well, unless Gothloli refers to modern gothloli like Misa-Misa while 8 stands more as the classic Victorian dressed girls..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_fashion
Explains difference.
Thanks, I was wondering about that.
Sometimes, I wish I was a girl so I could effectively dress in lolita fashion. (Is obsessed with it.)
But because I'm a guy and am avoiding wearing frilly skirts just to save face, I'm trying to design clothes that males can wear that still have the "lolita" feel to it.
That's what EGA (Elegant Gothic Aristocrat) is for. Also, you may fancy the Kodona and Dandy styles. It's like Lolita for guys, or crossplaying girls.
Or you could pull a Mana. xD
Different lolita styles are serious fuckin' business amongst lolita.
Just as keikaku'd.
Visual keikaku?
whatcha sayin' Willis?
*keikaku means plan
:V
What are you talking about, kisama???
If they want to try them then why not try them? ... I'll even bring the camera.
Because the nail that sticks up gets hammered down.
i think that's why they don't want to. i know a lot of girls that like this sort of stuff but it's impossible to get them to do anything like this even more so even at the slightest hint that there will be a recording medium of some sort
but seriously putting in my two cents, i know the world places a lot of emphasis on outward looks and stuff but that's not going to change. for the girls reading this and wanting to try stuff like this, just do it, not for others but for yourself.
putting in another two cents, if your friends decide to ditch you over a hobby or slight interest like this then you're better off without them, everyone enjoys life in their own way. when I'm not watching anime or anything related, at the office, or whatever else i'm using to vent i'm blowing stuff up or going to the gun range myself :)
Reminds me of Genshiken when they get Saki/Ogiue to cosplay.
"for the girls reading this"
Thats a laugh.
There are no genders on the internet, unless you choose to bring them in. That's the beauty of it.
For all you know, I could be transman transvestite lesbian from outer space. Does anyone here care? Not unless I start spamming myspace accounts.
wow i guess im pretending then....though i do have a vagina so...
You say that, yet some transgender people actually are into anime/manga. So are the transgendered not considered girls even after full transition and SRS? That offends me greatly.
On another note, bananas contain potassium.
well girls just wont admit that they are girls, so they don't get harassed :) is like women going to war were men are majority, they are usually abused verbally and sometimes even sexually
@ anon 20:08
No no, you've misunderstood. You might be a transvestite, but since there are no girls on the internet, you can't be a lesbian.
@ anon 22:44
What you meant to say is "though i do want vagina so...".
The are no people on the internet.
It is just a vast network of biorobots who are provided with a blurry 3D sims background theme in their idle time to trick them into thinking there's something else asides the NET...
for sure there are girls overe here =O
we want to know what our are guys doing =P
Nope, impossible. There are only guys and guys pretending to be girls on the internet.
You miscalculated your trolling, Anon. Here are only single dudes, everyone claiming something else is a liar.
Indeed. There are no girls on the internet.
"2. A dress fit for a princess like Marie Antoinette"
that dress didn't seem to fit her in that pic... and that's no problem with me!
@Dia,
I guess (9) should mean the baka fairy cirno from touhou :D
What does (9) mean? I saw it on niconico but...
Ever glanced at what some of these items can cost at Japanese stores? Trying out 2 of these styles could set someone back a month's spending money. And even then, you'd just have the 1 outfit for those styles.
BTW I've never heard of Oiran. I guess the western world only knows about Geisha.
ive already did most except 1-4
@Dia (18:45)
⑨ means Cirno. She was labelled by the ⑨ symbol on the image showing the game screen in PoFV's manual and labelled "baka" along with "score", etc.
I want to try on the bunny, maid and lolita ones And I'm a GIRL.
Me = GIRL => Anonymous = Guy In Real Life
I don't like the bunny outfit, I just don't think thats sexy
I wanna try those Super Saiyan hairs with flowers.
->guy here
Anyone else love the fact that goth loli AND loli are both on there, even though one would assume a sub category of the latter.
When I saw this top 10, I thought of Genshiken for some reason...
i think they need a bit more imagination ^_~
forest girl..new to me.. i kinda like it
They wanna try anime cosplay, that includes catgirls :D
didnt see any miko cosplay there -_-
>>Maybe this goes hand in hand with girls wanting a rich boyfriend who can afford to buy these costumes for them!
I guess if they're a (9) they'd be worth courting for most otakus. Double if they dress as an ice fairy.
I think the problem is the costs associated with these costumes...I'd love to try all of these but I don't have time to make elaborate Antoinette and lolita dresses, and buying them from vendors or commissioning them is expensiiiive.
Maybe this goes hand in hand with girls wanting a rich boyfriend who can afford to buy these costumes for them!
Of all the comparisons, they had to pic Maria Antoinette? The one who meet her demise at the guillotine? O_O
Maid, lolita and bunnygirl. Yay!
No catgirl. Aaaw...
>it's impossible to get them to do anything like this even more so even at the slightest hint that there will be a recording medium of some sort
Yes, that's because they don't want to APPEAR to be deviant and have any record of it.
That and they don't want you fapping to the pictures.
So hide the cameras. O.o'
Hidden cameras ftw.
I dressed in retro Showa period Japanese attire and a lot of people thought it looked really good. Though an obi gets you really warm after a while.
I wouldn't mind wearing most of the things on the list...if someone supplies the outfit. All 10 things together would cost a bundle.
