Harajuku girls

Today I went to Harajuku to see the world famous Harajuku girls + punk bands. According to the guide book, it was supposed to happen around 12 o'clock on Sundays, and when I arrived 30 mins late I was under the impression that I either missed it or the event was not as popular as it was cracked up to be. There were no bands, and only a few semi-interesting outfits in the crowd, but nothing to write home about.

When I came back 2 hours later to give it another try, there still wasn't that much activity. But what I did see was a fresh breath of all out Japanese insanity. There was a Bono impersonator and 2 punk bands (all with groupies). The best part was this transvestite with rainbow colored hair singing waaay off tune, and Harajuku girls head banging around him and going nuts. But see it for yourself.


And here's some more of this:
