If you go into Donki, along with the usual costumes, you'll find costumes made for men that are like school girl outfits that come with wigs and stuff. It's supposed to be funny, but I don't get it. Not saying my humor is better, but I can't see the funniness.

I actually had the chance to meet Haruna Ai at a fashion show, and she was really cool.
Perhaps there's a significant difference in the level of homophobia among Japanese men and parading as a chick is just accepted more easily, enough so that it can be funny for a guy to show how easily he can be seen as a chick, as opposed to being seen as something shameful
