Osaka Fruits! Wild Osaka Japanese Fashions!
Tuesday, April 26, 2016
A while back, I went to Osaka with my friend Ken Nishikawa to shoot a promotional video for the Japanese girls group, Shonen Knife. While there, we had some time to wander around and I saw some great sights. I love Osaka!
While I was there and wandering around I saw some kids and their fashions really turned my head! Wow! You have to check this out!
Here's several for your enjoyment!
Enjoy!
I saw these two sweethearts at Shin Osaka station. The train going by the the background gives it a great feel.
Same platform, not 10 seconds later! Wow!
I saw these two guys getting on the elevator and just had to take their photo. Awesome look. Check out those contact lenses! Upstairs from this building was a shop that sold "Lolita Fashions." I went up there but they didn't have any Lolita Fashions in the XXX-Large size to fit me.
Later on, after sound-check, we were walking around by Dontonbori when we came upon a group of ten kids. I thought these three really looked great!
I saw these two going somewhere on Sunday morning. Actually, I saw many others too but everyone seemed in a rush so I didn't have the time to ask them for a pose. I will go to Osaka again soon and take more photos.
