It gets worse each year. 3 years ago there were not so many tourists, but now there are more tourists taking pictures of people than there are people to take pictures of. 25 cosplayers being photographed by up to 100 foreign tourists... do you get the idea now? Harajuku used to be a place were people dressed up and would hang out with each other. Now it's become a freakshow for tourists.

Oh brother...
And the people who go there know exactly what it is and how and by whom they will be 'observed.' Tourists have been going to Harajuku for a loooong time now.
