Okay fine, I admit. Harajuku girls got style
It was a weekday. I decided to take a stroll down the Harajuku street.
To see with my own eyes what are all these fuss about Harajuku girls in Tokyo. What do they have that I don’t?
I took almost every opportunity to snap photos while taking this ‘stroll’ in Harajuku. I couldn’t say I have seen a lot of goth-looking girls or cosplay outfits, as I have said, it was a weekday.
But seriously, Tokyo teens sure know how to dress up. Even better than girls in Kuala Lumpur, better than those superficial girls in Singapore, better those spoilt rich kids in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Compare to Tokyo, people in Malaysia dress in a way as if they just come out from the stone-age. Shame on us….
Let me present to you….
*drum rolls*
The girls on Harajuku street!
Do keep in mind this is just a typical weekday. What you see here if what they wear casually every single day in Tokyo.
Don’t you know blue hair and blue shirt combination is out this season? 
Hmm, this girl got style.. 
I like her fashion sense, such a fashionista
These are photos I took randomly along the street,
And these girls are the people I pass by, in a 30 minutes walk around Harajuku.
Even the most normal looking looks really decent with style.
There are also Harajuku boys,
Woo, I like the way you walk with you shirt hanging by your wrist, are you trying to create the 'wind' effect
Back to girl again. “out shopping missy?”
And there are funky couples too,
From the normal
To the cool,
I really like her white skirt, from side view it look almost gorgeous
To special ones,
Casual to the left and formal to the right pls…
This dude stands out
This is my favourite girl of all
she looks a bit sian
This one spend too much time in the dog pound
If you notice carefully, her hair bun is the biggest in thing in Japan right now 
This photo was taken because the guy walking my way looks like some celebrity strutting across the street.
Which is the total opposite of this photo,
Please ignore the black poodle on the right 
I love her red hair, which match her red top, and red stockings
Even the larger size ladies in Japan are never reluctant to dress up, which is something I admire a lot.
“Oh no, don’t take photo of me, I’m shy~”
Oh look! There’s a man in this very cute scooter!
Wash eye, wash eye
And this is Harajuku town,
Washing washing…
Suddenly saw a cute girl in the distance.
Okay back to Harajuku girls.
Some girls here dress, well, uniquely.
Did she just come out from CandyLand?
What’s with the hat and the umbrella? Oh see the high bun I mentioned earlier on the right. 
These two caught my attention. You think?
And from here onwards, I kinda walked into a street of the tall and beautiful.
All the girls in this street are either slim, tall or pretty, or all.
Slim and pretty 
Slim and stylish
Oh lookie there, kimono girls crossing the street.
A bit weird but still pretty, tall and slim 
Cute and white 
The kimono girls again 
Ohhh, I love her hair, oo.. I love her dress too, and her shoes, she looks like doll
Walking babies here are so stylish too, 3 by 3.
Baby on the right is so cute. 
A bit fierce but I like her outfit.
Again with the pretty, slim and tall.
Oh no, she’s looking at me. Don’t care, still take, I like your hat. 
Pretty pretty
The aunties here also very trendy one wo, see the way they dress.
I think she is an aunty? No? She’s not??
Introducing Harajuku Groupies,
Do-Re-Mi-Fa
Back to pretty girls,
Pretty and sexy 
Where do they do their hair?! It’s like they came out from a magazine!
Nothing special, I just like the school girl uniform
Even though they are teens, it never fail them to be fashion victim.
Silver shoes and black stocking, I don’t know man. 
Sorry, I just love their school uniforms.
We all know that human is the only species whereby the male group is generally less attractive than the female’s. But you gotta admit, in Japan, guys excel in fashion.
Well, compare to other males in other countries.
I think.
Harajuku is a good place to do your occasional shopping too.
Very occasional.
Omg, I love this dress!! Don’t you? I don’t know where I am going to wear it but I just love it!
So goth, so cool! 
The white one on the right is my favourite.
In Harajuku, even the male mannequins look so funky.
End.
44 kissed Nicole
jap girls jap girls XD nice 1 nicole.this is my fav section lolzzz
ReplyDeleteHmmm, for some reason, many of the girls in the pictures don't look Japanese to me? The guys clearly look Japanese lah...
ReplyDeleteSo this is what they dress up with in the daytime... How about the nighttime? =)
Woi!!! I was almost first just now!! =(
ReplyDeletehmmm nice photos BUT they are NOT really harajuku girls lar
ReplyDeletereal dressed up harajuku girls will only be found on sunday :)
anyway .. good try!
Eh? Didnt pose and take pic with them?
ReplyDeleteahem Nicole...none of the girls shown here are as lovely (as you are) :D...maybe get a real guy to snap the pictures next time, perhaps?
ReplyDeletewow, how did u manage to snap all those pics without attracting too much attention to urself?
ReplyDeletei wait to click n wait for ever exciting posting frm u..keep it up..
ReplyDeletei am thinking what kind of jobs u can excel well...
creative...
oldman
Are you serious or just being sarcastic, nicole? More than half the pictures the clothes are utterly ugly. IMHO.
ReplyDeletehmm...not as pretty and as many as i thought. :P
ReplyDeletei dun really like japanese style lor....i would rather fashion hunt in new york or LA. hehehhee..... contemplating about going to NY to celebrate x'mas there. frens will be there...so lodging will be free.... hahahahaa....... wanna tag along nicole?
Japaneses celebrate halloween so early meh? :P
ReplyDeletegee, they look normal.. i used to think they are look like japanese stars... my bad. :D
ReplyDeletewahh... wash eye wash eye...
ReplyDeleteI like whisperer comment...
ReplyDeleteNicole, u look better than Japanese girls. I tot Japanese girls pretty one...i cant see any of them in your shots!
I agree with theo. Perhaps u should get a guy to snap photos of Japanese girls for u next time...
I agree that Nicole is prettier than the Japanese girls... Prettier than most girls also, that's why she did Miss Malaysia =D
ReplyDeleteMaybe there're other more happening places to check out the fashion scene in Japan?
the girls are quite pretty but i dunno, i never really catch their fashion sense haha looks kinda tacky. and how do you manage to take close up pics of them without them flinchin??
ReplyDeletewhere are the Goth japs? or any Malice Mizer fans? you did'nt meet any?
ReplyDeleteI think some of them should be arrested by the fashion police. I'm calling Interpol's fashion investigation department right now!
ReplyDeletetotally agree with nicole.Over here, I notice girls in KL either overdo the sexyness (we're not complaining,but not fashionable lah) or just plain practical clothing.
ReplyDeletethe clothes are cool bt the girls jz look plain lame....Sometimes if ugly girls overdress they will look more ugly...
ReplyDeletemy next destinationzzzzzzz!!!!!!

ReplyDeletehttp://ournipponjourney.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
hey nicole, its not kimono, d japanese girls are wearing yukata which is common wear during summer
ReplyDeletei notice alot of girls wear garter.. wtf... so weird
ReplyDeleteaa i cant see any pics... T_T.. oh the horror of having to deal with the Arab government and their restrictions... anyways nice post and God Bless
ReplyDeletemy goodness... loads of pictures.. how long do u need to wait to upload these pictures?? and how did u take those pictures without them realising it?? do u ask for their permission first?? i mean, as a blogger, do u do dat? or u just snap anywhere and anyhow u like... nicole?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised nobody has commented on your ...... yet.
ReplyDelete"Superficial girls", "Spoilt rich kids"...These people are found everywhere, not just in Singapore, Taiwan, HK. Plus people in Malaysia dress like they're from the stone-age? Can't believed no-one has disagreed with you on this.
Half of the photos you posted have people who dress up the same way as any normal person who could be walking around town of Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong..basically anywhere.
The other half of the photos will include people dressed up basically as the way whisperer mentioned - like Halloween. I don't see how it's a shame for Malaysians to not dress up like they 'just came out from CandyLand'.
With that said, Tokyo teens dress up better than those in KL, Sg, HK, Tw?
...
Wow, you call yourself a traveller.
"Plus people in Malaysia dress like they're from the stone-age? Can't believed no-one has disagreed with you on this."
ReplyDeleteNo one disagreed because it's just a metaphor lor...
Oh.. I love this post. Cool photos about their wearing... Love their style.. (I mean some)
ReplyDeleteI am wondering.. do you just stood in the middle of the road and snap these photos? lol... Anyway.. good job!
:)
cool pics. i wouldn't dare to snap pics like that. not even brave enough to ask permission. hehe.
ReplyDeletethey might look 'biasa' but if you're actually there and see these people with your own eyes, you would feel a little different and wow-ed a bit. it's just different.
Nicole darling you are so lala LOL **
ReplyDeleteWow, never seen so many japanese dolls in my life!
ReplyDeletealthought u have that all nice pics, i vote u as the hotest babe among all....gogogo, nicole
ReplyDeleteLexO
who are u to say that S'pore girls are superficial, hong kong & taiwan kids are spoilt rich? are kl/m'sia girls or kids so good that u didnt even comment about? if u feel ur qualities are so atas, then don't travel to other countries. Pui !
ReplyDeleteDear Anon from above,
ReplyDeleteSo you consider that my statement of Malaysians "stone-age" dressing is good?
Wow.. Nice picture and nice Japanese dolls. Hmm... Traveling. How I wish I can do that like you...
ReplyDeleteOops...Just realised that the link i provided above is no longer valid
