Some of it's cool, but some of it just seems weird to me... Like that kabuki style or whatever it's called, where they paint their face really brightly, and mess up their hair? I dunno, seems to diminish their beauty rather than help anything... What's the point of it, just the attention, or to be "different" and cast of the burden of caring about having a "nice" appearance?

Anyway, I do think some of their fashions and such are really interesting, and look great. There seems to be a lot of variety, like just walking in Tokyo or some big city, you could see people in random costumes, or kimonos, or just "regular clothes". You've got men in business suits walking next to cosplayers. Unless, the cosplayers just stick to a certain area? I'm not sure, actually. Well, either way, you go to a big city in the US (such as NYC), and you probably wouldn't see any of the odder stuff like in Japan.

theres some historical refference to that style.
also, keep in mind historicly many cultures around the world have gone to extreme measures (by moden standards) in beauty. its only recently that we've come to see simplicity as beauty at its finest.

example? british poofy hairstyles....italian philosphers who wore stiletto boots...french aristrocrats who shaved their head jus so they can have a variety of wigs that they can choose from...and thats only from the 'civilized' nations.

HEY HEY HEY. HAve you forgotten?!! The japanese hate been classified as "Japs". Its kind of racist like the N word. >.>

I dont find it soo offensive but yeh...keep the word to minimum, incase more real japanese people see it.
