Japanese Street Style #1

[BokuAlec]

I love most of the Japanese style, but the really freaky ones scare the s***t outta me! They have like fake bloody eye patches and masks covering parts of their face...omg! scary! why would they wanna look like that if it isn't halloween?!

That's more like cosplay (costume-play) and isn't really style/fashion. Think of it as like Japanese goth, but more extreme. So they're not really considered fashion - more like art.

I love the scary looks! Especially the ones with colored contacts!

Here's what Shibuya looked like in January (the last two weeks are my favorite!

Thanks again LL.

Look at the guy with the dreadlocks in the last (bottom-right) pic. I *hate* dreadlocks on people who aren't actually black, but his skin is amazing!!

Thanks, Luxury!

And I agree, Boku - they ALL seem to have great skin, though.

I have book about Japanese Streey Fashion - "Fruits"/
.
OMG. Japanese boys and girls is amazing!!!

 

[serenade]

^ I've seen that book! It's so great, I wanted to get it but then... I didn't for some reason.

 

[ilaughead]

^Get Fruits! It is wonderful! But the original is much better than Fresh Fruits, in my opinion.

 

[serenade]

^ Next time I see it, I will
It's on my list of to-buy-books.

I've recently been getting into J-Pop and different Japanese singers/entertainers. I love their street style, especially on the guys! I'm a huge fan of vintage tees and I love how they put everything together.

I'll find more pics later...I have tons on my computer, just need to organize them, lmao. Anyway, here's Yamapi. He's one of the hottest pop-idols in Japan at the moment. (credit: AF.net)
Nishikido Ryo is an amazing dresser; I have to find some pictures of him.

Some Japanese men do know a thing or two about vintage, don't they? I'd love to go shopping in Tokyo and find all of these unique clothes!

 

[serenade]

^ Mm, I agree.
I've got a few pictures of J-Rockers that a friend sent to me a little while ago... I've recently become a fan of J-Rock and J-Pop and all that J-jazz .

...agh, tried to attach them but Firefox is being mean and won't open the pop-up for Browsing files.

 

[xtine888]

^ Oooh, please post whenever firefox works for you Thank you!
Here are some more, this time of Ryo. He's one of my faves. Here's a shamless plug: go watch his J-drama, "1 Litre Of Tears". I think I went through two boxes of tissues watching it, omg. He's terrific in it and the story is amazing.:

His hat is hilarious if you're familiar with Ryo. LOL. He has the "poison tongue" and is really, really quick with witty insults, but he's a real softie inside, so it's cute.
Also, some magazine scans and concert pics. (credit: AF)

I'll post some pics of my absolute favorite (Jin) next time...although it might be harder to find good pics
because as much as I him, his fashion sense is very hit-miss, lol.

 

[Luxury's Lap]

Thanks for the pics, xtine888!

Here's Omotesando for January!!

i'm starting to think that clothes and eletronics are very cheap there because they are all wearing tons of layers and everybody are attached to some headphones.
but i like it.

[Luxury's Lap]

(Finally) finishing up January!!

Here's Daikanyama!!

[serenade]

Here are 3... the others (and there's TONNES) are more professional shots than Street Style so I didn't think it'd really fit in

I'm fairly sure these are of the band members in Gazette, correct me if I'm wrong!

Not sure how I can really credit these as my friend just gave me this whole folder filled with pictures So, um... yes. She said she got most of them from Photobucket... ehehe

Enjoy!

 

[serenade]

For some reason, the third din't get posted ... so:

EDIT - Okay, the third one isn't working. Er, so there's two for you ^

 

[lemon_despair]

serenade, yes. this is Gazatte members - Ruki and Uruha.

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.
