KERA MAGAZINE STREET SNAPS: WILD HARAJUKU JAPAN STYLE PHOTOS FROM MARUIONE.
The latest Lolita street snaps, courtesy of Kera Magazine and MaruiOne’s LiveJ. If this is any indication, my eyes will be popping out of my head next week at the Individual Fashion Expo IV…
I stayed up from 1am to 3:30am reading Haruki Murakami’s After Dark – fitting, since the story is set in the neon hours when Tokyo’s trains stop running. These photos remind me of his words:
“My protagonists are so lonely, but at least they have their styles, their obsessions to survive on. That means a lot. They don’t know what the purpose of life is or what their goals are, but they have to live on in any case. It’s kind of a stoic life, to survive strictly on your obsessions. It’s also kind of religious, sometimes. You could say that it’s a kind of postmodernist view – to survive a meaningless life strictly on your taste in things, your styles. Some of my readers are impressed by that kind of stoicism. (The author leaned back and sighed.) It’s not easy, you know.”

Good eye! Yes, it’s the same girl. Amazing how she transforms herself.

I adore the craziness!! Fabulous photos.
The words you quote are really interesting too .. finding your own cult, obsession or religion in this uncertain world brings a great deal of inner peace through its focus.
