Reggae in Yoyogi park.

The speakers were good. The event had been arranged across one of the paths into the park, and it was great to see people’s expressions as they entered the music. Some grinned or did their best not to react; a few turned around and went back the way they had come. Many a disgusted British tourist stuck fingers in both ears and scowled. Not quite the Zen garden?

Very very drunked. I was worried that he'd roll over and crush his glasses, but as with the wildlife photographer, is it right to intervene?

SMOKER’S BONUS
These recently launched cigarettes have a small ‘Powerball’ of menthol that must be broken by squeezing the filter! A highly futuristic gimmick.

[flar]

Impressive once again!

[Chelsea Spy]

wow, some great pics

[Austinlee]

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant!!!


It's SUNTORY time!!


What is Gyaru?


This picture is amazing. Look at that distressed look on that poor girls face... Does she even know what she is standing in front of?:

[Fabb]

Is that Tokyo ? It's not exactly what I had in mind.

[vertex]

I always look forward to your photos...

[alleystreetindustry]

still super.

[Muji]

I think this easily beats the hell out of my own Tokyo pictures...Seriously though, great job of capturing the Tokyo-ites that make the city so fascinating.

[olga]

Gureito, amazing, fantastic,fabulous - as always!

Arigato gozaimashita. :)

[mongoXZ]

!
What is Gyaru?

It's a stereotypical fashion conscious girl.

Those were some GREAT pics of one of my favorite cities. It reminds me of being there a few yrs back. The people's demeanor was just sooo diferent from the big cities in America. Japan is just fascinating.

I will return in 09.:yes:

[urbanflyer]

Is that Tokyo ? It's not exactly what I had in mind.

What exactly did you have in mind? Tokyo is everything and anything you want it to be. That's why it's so fucking great.

Those pictures are an explosion of humanity.

I wouldn't exactly call gyaru fashion conscious - a majority of Japanese women are fashion conscious but aren't gyaru. Gyaru are starved for attention and generally present themselves as garishly as possible. Fashion is certainly part of their thing but being fashionable in a traditional sense isn't.

http://gyaru.liafugita.com/imagens/gyaru/03.jpg

There's a wide variety of gyaru subcultures, the most famous of which are the yamamba, who unfortunately are enjoying something of a resurgence lately.

[Urbanartistry]

Man these were AWESOME! They totally broaden ones view of life in Tokyo. Very Very cool! :tup:

[Pavlov]

You made Tokyo look exactly like it should: exhausting. Awesome stuff.

[Trojan in NYC]

Yay another one. Fantastic job, man!

[wisla_krakow]

Thought I would bump your other two after seeing the final.

[FREKI]

Sweet pics mate! Wonderful city!

[Rail Claimore]

I need to go back...

[dktshb]

Wow I definitely enjoyed that, thanks! That was a perfect dose of stimuli to compliment my downtempo mood.

[fern]

So so good!

[Sekkle]

Amazing!

[zilfondel]

Gyaru = Japanese hipster?

[Ayreonaut]

Wow, awesome series, I missed this one until now. Your pictures show what makes Tokyo what it is, its people. It has become one city that I absolutely need to visit, hopefully sooner than later.

[Shawn]

Gyaru = Japanese hipster?

Oh God no. Gyaru = female versions of the Super Guido from Long Island we love to post pics of on this forum. Hipsters at least go to college.

[Doady]

Wow, nice...

[anm]

cool

This may or may not be true but I have a feeling I've seen some of these pics before... Do not mind seeing it again, if it's the case.

I am starting to develop a stereotype that threads about Tokyo are either "dense megapolice from above" or this type of street life threads.

[Alan934]

i really dont know to express how i feel about what i have just seen. out of all of the posts on SSP i dont think i have seen anything that has just shown so much life. i am really impressed, really.
