hate to burst your bubble, but harajuku style barley exists in harajuku =P
out of the entire lil city of Harajuku only a hand full of people will dress up that way, and thats only on a nice day, and usually the weekend.
like it said many times in numerous posts. its a hobby and the style is fading.
nowadays you'll see the "new" harajuku style less super flashy and crazy colors, to just more unique style and i guess a watered down version of what it use to be.
in most pictures you see online, its like the super extreme people that dress up.
but, do what you want and dress the way you want.
i dress up in pretty eccentric clothing and weird styles, but i kinda mold it into my own and throw my personal flavor into the mix.
and if you really dont care what other people think, then go dress up the way you want and express your self.
from what i've seen the Tann Shibuya look is more dominant over Harajuku.
But the most common style you see in japan is the big brand name brands.
Basically Western and European style.
that is what you'll see every day walking around.
