Fashion: Be Whoever You Want to Be – Only in Harajuku, Tokyo

Japanese’s pop culture has been phenomenal. One way or the other majority young people will get hooked by it. I recall that I personally got introduced when I was about ten years old. The cute characters of Hello Kitty along with other Sanrio characters, My Melody, Little Twin Stars to name a few stole my heart and continued onto my adulthood.

From cute characters under Sanrio brand/company to a very popular animation series called Candy Candy, I was one of the fans/consumers of the Japanese young pop culture.

The end of year 2015, I had an opportunity to visit Tokyo again, twenty one years later from my first visit. On my second visit, with my own small family, we made our way to Harajuku. My tween-age daughter and I were hoping to see people in costumes as we already previewed on Youtube. However, we went to Harajuku on weekday and hardly see any except one or two working girls that might require them to be in costumes.

For now to satisfy my curiosity with all kind of costumes in Harajuku, I have been following and seeing the feed of @TokyoFashion on Instagram.
