Check out this user-created video that combines two Japanese pop culture icons--a song by Osaka pop singer Ai Otsuka and the street fashion of designer Takuya Angel. Kitschy? Yes. Scary? Kinda. Do people really dress like this in Tokyo? Uh huh, sometimes. Any more questions, please leave it in the comments section.

As Halloween is my favorite holiday. I'm all for dressing up in costumes.
I'd never run a club again in the U.S., but I'd open one tomorrow in Tokyo. Anyone dressing up, or even wearing a kimono get's in for free.

I'm amazed.

Wow! How I wish I was Japanese! Americans are way too uptight to appreciate people dressed like this running around

Does anyone know a Japanese street fashion blog that also has an RSS feed?
