 Re: Japan back then, Japan today
I remember the first time I had a peek at the Japanese street fashions. Years ago I stumbled across Fruits. http://www.fruits-mg.com/xnew/e/index.htmlBTW Is Gothic Lolita still in Vogue?

 Re: Japan back then, Japan today
That's comic strip is crazy - we all know you become immediately accepted & fit into another culture by collecting its toys.

 Re: Japan back then, Japan today
Delicious strip - ironic in that it's actually targeted at traffic going the other way.

 Re: Japan back then, Japan today
Gothic Lolita & visual kei fashions are still going strong. The ganguro or, at their extreme, yamanba girls ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganguro ) have all but disappeared however. I think they grew up into kogals? Saddest of all (I think) LOOSE SOCKS seem to have gone out of fashion. "Fruits" is an awesome magazine. You can look at really old copies, and they still seem fresh.

 Re: Japan back then, Japan today
I think I'd be happy going to Tokyo and just people watching, I wouldn't care if I didn't even get to any toy stores.

 Re: Japan back then, Japan today
I highly recommend a trip to Meiji Jingu for a Swallows game. Beer girls with beer backpacks rule the day.

 Re: Japan back then, Japan today
this thread went from interesting to funny to hilarious
I have a few must stops when I go, but no where near the frenzy I did in the beginning
If you love cities, and I do, Tokyo is one of the most amazing in the world.
