Japanese Street Style #1

[gius]

^what you're seeing in these photos here are exactly that but I don't think it's about erasing masculinity--it's just another outlook of beauty. If you want to see something more extreme where you can tell they are wearing makeup, check out Japanese singers... Gackt for example

Thank you for posting those great pics on the previous page!!

Does anybody have any pictures of the guy-cute trend surfacing right now in Japan? It's manifest by masses of young men who have taken to shaving off their body hair, using cosmetics, and plucking their eyebrows in an effort to erase the coarser elements of their masculinity.

I do agree that many Japanese men are very cute/feminine looking. And I'm not saying that as if it were a negative thing; I agree with gius in that Japanese men just have a different outlook on appearance. A different concept of beauty. And I dunno, I find adrogyny attractive, actually.

Johnny's Entertainment is full of male pop-idols that are so pretty, it hurts.

I think Yamapi is the prettiest of them all. (Or maybe Jin is.) Someone photoshopped him into a dress and long hair, and he makes a pretty goddamn attractive woman! He looked really cute (and very young!) with the light brown hair and when he was thin. But then he started working out and buffed up and now people sometimes call him Yamaboobs. XDDDDDDDD.

Pikachu!? WOW. That has to take a lot of courage. I'd be very embarrassed.

LOL, then you'll love these. Guys wear them too! And this pic was taken in either NY or LA. Somewhere in the States.

The guy on the right side of the pic (not wearing his Pikachu hoodie) is my absolute favorite . Although this is a really bad picture of him.

This thread is in danger of becoming less about streetstyle and more about cosplay ...

Word.

Although, I can't quite decide as to whether that's a good or bad thing!

As long as they're wearing it on the street it still counts as streetwear

I'm attracted (in a purely aesthetic way, not sexual!) to androgyny too but only when it's subtle and natural looking, rather than imitated. I love Freja Beha and the young Bjorn Andersen for that reason. That guy you posted is something pretty too .

That's also why I'm a fan of Daria...she's sexy and beautiful, but in an androgynous way.

LOL, and speaking of Yamapi, he's 22 today. Happy birthday!

I really am very jealous of his collection of vintage tees and jackets. Where's a good place to get them? I love vintage tees; I'm just never able to find good ones where I am.
