I really think it`s just gaudy and seriously overdone. An accent is one thing, but I`ve seen so many fake flowers, plastic desserts and mini-teddy bears on a single phone that it can`t even be opened properly. And that`s not the exception - the little crystals only style is.
I really don't get it. Can you shed a little cultural light on this? My girlfriend and I were watching that special last night about it and gagging. The fake desserts I can kinda understand because Japan is pretty much the leader in fake foods (best menu ever). But everything else... and the complete lack of moderation.... ugh *twitch*
