So I mentioned before going to Tokyo that I was really looking forward to coming across the Harajuku girls and was immediately on the scout for them as I arrived. It seemed that they were not as prominant as I had imagined they were in Tokyo. Whilst shopping in Omote Sando there was a few sightings of them, however Harajuku Square on the saturday afternoon was where I found the majority.
The only way I could describe how they were is by relating them to the 'Scene Kids' on Myspace.(No offence intended) They were very hyper active and obviously out to gain attention, all female and all screaming. They were all dressed in their own style and each had their own personality. After speaking to a Japanese Waitor it seems that Harajuku is not cool anymore and therefore the numbers of them are dwindling.
