Eccentric idol Shoko Nakagawa’s notorious antics have once again been turning heads – this time with an extraordinarily grotesque choice of insectile fashion accessory which leaves even the likes of Lady Gaga in the dust.
Her reputation as a guro fiend seems well deserved.
For those wondering just what her lovely new accessories are, she identifies them as cast-off cicada husks (the skins immature cicadas shed when they become adults) – the arrival of Japan’s ubiquitous and extraordinarily noisy summer cicada invasion has been late this year, which seems to have excited her.

Ok. That is fairly unique. A little gross though.
So unique and gross you had to type it twice.
Shit, I feel sick, at first I thought they were plastic fakes, knowin they are real insects makes me wanna puke ¬_¬
She's a member of Aburame clan, a ninja clan from Konoha that uses insect as a weapon.
Ok, dry insect shells, disgusting anyway ¬_¬
Well, it's a matter of perspective, after all silk is made from insects cocoons yet they are extremely expensive and I think biologically there isn't much of a difference.
Not seeing how this is very different from ancient Egyptian fashion.
i think this is pretty interesting. not too bad, actually~
Cicada shells don't scare me at all. I remember picking up shells and even playing with live Cicadas in early childhood. Nobody ever bats an eye. It's only 'scary' when those things tries to fly away and flies into your face or something.
Cicadas are kind of like ladybugs. Totally harmless and I never get the feeling they're the kind of vicious insects like ants, termites or something disease ridden like roaches.
Interesting its being a long time since i last seen those insect shells....
must be when i was a kid
they are insects shells, just the hardened carapace it shed when it was time to fly.
oh my god! she's gonna use them to make a new dildo for every woman out there!
If she is trying to create a new trend, and the trend becomes a success, I'm going to shoot her. I ain't wanting girls in school wearing insects. Creaming nail arts were enough. |:V
Maybe it's a protein supplement for when the "other"
isn't readily available!
-Art but fairly disgusting...a good way to keep away normal men (except for entomologists)
Hh gods. Entomologists would be over her like a swarm of flies with that hairdo.
Seems like something is bugging her...
It looks like.
*Puts on sunglasses*
She's being bugged.
YEEEAAAAH-shot-
-_-' ....
I saw what you did there...
Revival of the beehive-hairstlye?
Or maybe a cicada-hairstyle
Higurashi no kami koro ni?
Kami = hair.
...Higurashi - When they hair? Sorry but no. That's not funny. That's not even a sentence.
If we take the original sentence Higurashi no naku koro ni, then koro ni roughly translates to "at the time of" or "when" and Higurashi is a type of Cicada.
So, if you would like, it could be translated to "at the time of cicada hair" thus rending my joke a little more comprehensible XD.
But then again, "when they cry" is a pretty inferior translation because it doesn't tell you what's in the original title.
Its not that bad. I think those nails are 10x worse.
Still better than Gaga.
Anything is better than Gaga. I will stand by that sentiment.
I want to slap the top of her head crunch
Something about her hair really bugs me.
I have a novel idea: Lets not give the marketing department putting her up to all this any more attention, m'kay?
gross much?
in mexico they make really good tacos
yeah I know ¬_¬ but they are SMALL fried insects... not giant shells over your head
she's wanna go to hinamizawa so much, doesn't she...
Glad someone else noticed the connection. I don't feel alone now.
A girl who isn't deathly afraid of bugs, I like that.
I'd prefer a happy medium between being afraid of bugs and wearing them as hair accessories...
what did I just see
Now I know why girls really like 'insect eggs'-like nail accessories!
should be worn on halloween
Bitch be trolling.
I'm sure shes more than aware of the fragile state and impracticality of those husks as even the slightest breeze would send them all flying or a misplaced movement would immediately crush them.
Cicadas are the most harmless species ever. the adults dont even have mouths, they dont even eat. They exist primarily to feed off of nutrients in the ground, fly around and be annoying for a few weeks, mate, and die.
time for the eye bleach.
If this was Aya, @rte would be calling for her immediate arrest and deportation!!
She just got a lot of Shedinjas.
Came here to say this. Was not disappointed.
amusingly enough, she's highly involved with Pokemon (mainly the live-action variety show, but she voiced a few anime roles as well).
We've already seen Shoko-tan's bug head-dress before -- right here on SC.
Time for SC summer re-runs?
I used to do this to my little sister all the time when I was a kid. :)
What the hell one more crazy to increase the ranks of Lady Gaga..
At least it's a fashion cheap and easy to do at home :P Hunt insects and put in a jar of formaldehyde, more real impossible..
Next great idea will be with cockroaches and scorpions :)
Hot so HOT
Natural predators of cicadas might attack her head.
By the way this accessory looks unhygienic.
