message: This article is tagged for NPOV. Would someone more familiar with the topic mind pointing out where this occurs? Maybe the article needs a new title? Phyesalis 05:49, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge from Japanese Street Fashion 

message: As many others have already noted, there are serious problems with this entry, and they may be systemic.  To wit, the following paragraph from the first section: "More recently, Japanese hip-hop, which has always been present among underground Tokyo's club scene, has sky-rocketed in the mainstream fashion industry. The popularity of the music is so influential that Tokyo's youth are imitating their favorite hip hop stars from the way they dress with over-sized clothes to darkening their skin with ultraviolet rays, usually done by tanning. Many Japanese youth believe that tanning or being darker is a freedom of expression they are unable to experience in their circumscribed social role as 'Japanese'. The idea of darkening one's skin to more closely resemble an American hip-hop star or ethnic group may seem like a fad but this subculture, the black facers, do not particularly set themselves apart from many other sub cultures that have emerged as a result of hip hop." -- Sorry, but this is nonsense. There is some influence from hip-hop in Japanese music, and there was some influence from hip-hop in Japanese fashion, but it's been gone from the mainstreams of Japanese fashion for at least 2 years now. The source that the entry cites is from 2003! As I write this from Tokyo, in May of 2009, hip-hop fashions in Japan are utterly dead, except in the provinces. And good luck finding anyone in Japan who still tans their skin; the whole ganguro/burako thing is likewise dead. Contributors to this entry need to keep in the forefront of their minds the fact that Japanese fashion is the fastest-paced in the world, and one season's key trend is likely to be the next season's embarrassment. Because of this ephemerality, perhaps the entry should be treated as not so much a series of statements of what "Japanese street fashion" is, but rather, what it has been, or what elements have, at various times, figured in it.

thread_title:  What to do about outdated content? 

message: The article is misleading, it sounds as if "Japanese youth fit into either of these categories".
When in fact, most Japanese youth don't fit into those categories, they just wear 'normal' clothes. Not only are most of these subcultures/styles outdates, but the Harajuku, Lolita and Cosplay crowd don't dress like that everyday. --Platinum inc (talk) 18:26, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
