@BCUboi Bou is a person. He's a guitarist from the Japanese band An Cafe. They're referring to the girl with the blond hair in pig tails in the beginning of the video~
But do they dress like this regularly? Like, if you were to walk down a random street in Japan on any other day, would they give you a weird look or would is this kind of stuff just for the Harajuku Station on Sundays?
this is called cosplaying, that is when people try to look the same as a character in an anime. This might seems weird to you but it is very common in Japan.
Those people dont look anything like emo fail fucks. it's called Visu kei. Why are people so stupid and just generalize everything together, People need to stfu unless they know what theyre talking about. and if theyre having fun, let em fuckin have some fun, maybe some of the shit you people do is weird to them. I wish people would just pull their head's out of their ass's.
@XxmiyavixXxXx It's not really VK either... If anything, they're all either cosplaying, dressing in Harajuku fashion, or [gothic or sweet] lolita. :) VK is totally different.
Well the kids here wearing the mask got the idea from a VK band, but usually one wears it when they have a cold/ flu. Just common courtesy for your fellow humans . :3~
its so cute^^ i wanna go there... i wish i lived in tokyo so i cud dress fun and hang out too! where i live im kinda alone with dressing different and people are always commenting it.. abit annoying >_>
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SUGOI I WAS LIKE . UUIIII AND MADE A QUEEK NOISE UUUUUH I AM SO LUCKY RIGHT NOW I AM HYPER ACTIVE JUMPING AROUND AND NOW I SEE THAT THE HOLE TEXT IS BIG...sry for this ;D but WHOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO GO HARAJUKU XD ok i was crying during the hole videos (you can give me a poor comment but i don´t care whoohoo yeah these guys are my rolemodels they are soo great and...ich can´t express how i feel right now...yeah have fun at reading this XD)
thats one of the big reasons y i love japan, everyone is so careless (with out a care) and can jus be themselves without having to put on a mask or be looked at as weird for doing what they love
I respect them for having the courage to dress up like this, everyone is too used to be 'normal.' To be what others expect, it's great to be an individual with an awesome personality/
Yeah, and the person who was sitting next to the Reita cosplayer looked like he was cosplaying as Uruha. Yay for the Gazette! Boy does Japan look crowded though.
OMG!!! i so badly want to go to Japan. even if i go i gotta go wit some one. too young to b by myself and plus even if i got in on a student exchange my ma will b off the wall wit worry. I especially to go to this area. if i could i would do harajuku at my skool every day but i have to tone it down b/c they may send me home. dekalb county schools suck big time!!!!
Omgggg. Cosplayers everywhere. I wish I was there. You should try cosplaying. Maybe as a maid. LOL. Haha Jk buddy. Your videos are the rock. Yuo should check out Akihabara a.k.a. akiba. Then go to a maid cafe. I heard theyre pretty awesome.
I think it's strange that they wait alll day long to have their pictures taken. Some don't even talk to each other. I mean, if kids in my area cosplayed in one area of the city for the sole purpose to be noticed by complete strangers I would think they're pathetic. (Disclaimer to all the weeaboos: I dress VK. I used to think this was the coolest place on earth when I was 14, but come on)
*chuckles* Suprising to find this here. It's the cosplay thing, right (though on a more.... frequent basis than in the states)? Strange is different, different is interesting, variety is the spice of life they say. ~Kat
People in strange outfits for no apparent reason (it's not Halloween, just a random Sunday) simply enjoying the attention. I've seen some weird stuff in public plazas like the Human Statues, but there is a reason for that, it's fun and entertaining. These kids apparently see this as "hanging out." Fine by my really :) Their not hurting anyone, just my opinion.
This is just one of the common cosplay where ppl dress up 99% to look like a sort of anime character. Japan is sooo coool, they look sooo funkey XD Thanks for posting.
hehehe lol..i think the ppl that i like the most are those that dresses up as Lolitas!! They're sooo kawaii, ne!! Especially the pink!! I love the pink. ^_^ Gothlolis are not bad either..Gothic+Lolita because the black isn't bad and the frills are sooo nice!!
They have a 3 storey store near there where the first floor is for Lolita merchandise, the second floor is for GothLoli and the third is just Goth clothing and paraphernalias. I'm not sure if that's the right sequence of the floors though lol.
ooooh it's the famous harajuku!! =) i've always wondered when you'll be putting a video of harajuku..since it's really famous to designers all over the world especially when everybody there always dresses up and some are in cosplay costumes..i heard that top of the line designers/photographers travel to harajuku to get a glimpse and get some ideas for their clothing lines, etc..that's what they said anyway from BBC.
Nice, wish you had walked around a bit more during the video, you didn't even find the row of amateur bands that play around there, ranging from abysmal to tolerable. I need to go back to Tokyo.
