Harajuku’s latest and most extreme fashion tribes have been causing a stir online after recently being featured on Japanese TV.
Online there is not much appreciation for these daring fashionistas:
“Monsters!”
“Go back to the countryside!”
“Be realistic. These are like 0.05% of the people there.”
“Well, you can get away with this in Tokyo. I’ve seen a few on the trains, nobody bats an eyelid.”
“You can often see them on the Yamanote line on the weekends, and in Harajuku of course. It’s cool for them to group up in Harajuku and they seem to have a good time, but I feel a bit sorry for them thinking about them going home to the countryside all alone on the train dressed like that.”
“They say in the subs ‘we’re like western influenced’ – somehow I think not.”
“More like Blade Runner influenced.”
“They are more Heian than western…”
“Go and show off in the countryside instead of bothering Tokyo with your weird looks!”
“One’s 21 – no old women please.”
“It’s not fashion but a costume parade!”
“More like Halloween. Saying these are western influenced is like saying a foreigner running around dressed as a ninja and waving a sword is ‘Japan-influenced.'”
“This is just an escape route for uglies.”
“I think if a pretty girl did this it could be quite alluring… but they are all ugly and it is just guro.”
“Goth loli evolved.”
“This is basically like yamamba, but from the other side.”
“When I saw ganguro I just knew somebody would try it from the white side.”
“Well, I think expressing your true character through total fashion like this is cooler than trying to do it by just dying your hair.”
“If this gets circulated overseas they will all just think Japanese are totally infatuated with whites.”
“I think they will be reminded more of kabuki girls…”
“It’s nice that the capital is so liberal.”

Funny how some clothes fit perfectly with the style of some animes.
The only difference between that and cosplay, is the fact that they are original clothes.
no shit sherlock
And i would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids~!
HAHAHA
Nice bro!!!
I'm dieing over here!!
Kill it, kill it with fire.
The girls look like they broke out of a zombie apocalypse, sadly they didn't make it...
Pic 9 looks cute.
The rest look like they dunked their heads in a white paint bucket.
OH GOD THIS IS HORRIBLE
Mummy, I'm scared. I think the one with the green hair is going to eat me..
This is like blast from the past
just another day in japan
Yeah, It's pretty common to see these various Harajuku styled street fashions in Tokyo, but one day when I went to Akihabara there was a huge amount of cosplayers in the streets all of a sudden, and It was pretty cool.
I don't care for the white-face, but some of it was cute.
I liked the looks of the 21-year-old.
Girl to the right in pic 9 seems legit lol
10*
Guys can you wait just a second?
I'm trying to find my shotgun...
Indeed their makeups look like they were made for the zombie extras for an extremely low budget zombie movie.
Zombie apocalypse started too soon...
Get me a spare one as well.
Americans and Latin girls have been doing this for years lol
That's not fashion, they're just freaks.
Most young women in Japan fail at fashion anyways. Just looks like they ran though a closet an put on whatever they could grab.
That's one hell of a retarded generalization there, pal. You've obviously never been to Omotesando, because the fashion there is incredible. Especially on the women!
Dude, you shouldn't look at Japanese girls images only from this place and other anime or cosplay oriented sites.
Most Japanese girls I see on Facebook all dress like every other regular sane women who are not fashion victims.
What? I think it's okay...not all of them can pull it of but most of them are cute.
Youkai
I could hit that... with a hammer!
I'd say a sledgehammer
Go Triple H on them bitches!
Very nice!
... for Halloween at least.
Revolution DMC !!!
Look closely at the top right of pic #10..... THAT is some simple yet sexy fashion.
Agreed. :3
Hollows started invading us.
Funny to see sancom weirdos ripping on people who are much less weird or creep.
Preach it, brother!
This what happen when you imitate anime characters, nuff said
That really doesn't make any sense, because they're not "imitating Anime characters," they're just showing off some of their crazy original fashions.
They still look like bitches.
@07:44 How the hell can someone look like a bitch, yet you don't even personally know them?! You're just a typical douchebag.
C'mon man, let's be honest
They aren't going to amount to shit and you know it!!
Of course this looks freakish, american only know clothes size XXXXL, oh sorry I miss one more X so it's XXXXXL
Right... because having makeup like Edward Scissorhands makes it less wierder if the girl isn't overweight.
You mean Priss Blade Runner makeup?, because the JP dude got it right.
It's like one of my Japanese horror movies!
I thought they were Kiss fans.
So otakus are better, how?
Why don't we just blame this on the French and claim that they're trying to be mimes.
Ah, Japan. Just when I think you're an infuriating maelstrom of hollow lives and narrow thinking, people like this skitter out of the rotted-out holes in the woodwork and I fall for you all over again.
Blade Runner influenced? Blasphemy!
Great now we have Japanese Jugglo hoes.The Insain Clown Posse will be happy to hear about this.
Catgirls are acceptable.
Where's the guro tag?
