Go to the source, take pictures, make fashion bible — interesting idea. Those styles are certainly alive today. I like how the Japanese designers often use these styles, but replace the more uniform and duller prints with plaids, polka dots, rarely-used-in-American-clothing colors, etc. I find the more general male fashion to be classy (taking style from this book it sounds like), but bright, cheerful, and different with the various materials and small stylistic changes. Great post!

lol it’s especially funny because almost all the people who hangout in harajuku on sundays are not even from tokyo.

The Japanese students that come to my city for schooling are always so stylish. They look absolutely wonderful, the boys I find put more effort in then the girls. The girls favor a lazier Lolita look. But I have noticed the preppy look is back and very hot.

I will only appreciate Japanese fashion
when the Japanese are wearing it. I don’t care for “celebrity trends”
and those trying to dress a culture purely to look “cool”.

Ugh… You mean people actually want to look preppy? They attempt to look like snotty brats from wealthy families that are always out to make everyone else want to die?
I’ll stick to functional and comfortable clothing.

Anyway, the Illuminati and the Skull and Crossbones are separate entities. One creates powerful people and the other only allows powerful people. Both are out to rule the world though, so don’t turn your back on them.

That book sounds interesting but I think the Wall Street Journal article is so misleading. One very upmarket coffee shop in sea of Starbucks and Starbucks rip offs! Maybe if you are some Richie Rich, you go to these places but for what most people can afford, I’d say Japanese coffee and Western food isn’t that great.

The bars are awesome though :)
