Harajuku Style ala Indonesian People

At least from the city where I live alone, in Bandung, the influence of the spread of Japanese pop culture is increasingly rampant. Almost every high school in Bandung that time certainly had an extra-curricular organizations whose activities do things smell the Japanese. Ordinary members gathered at their respective places or create a community to channel their hobbies. This also seems further supported by a variety of hobby events their implementation. For those who like anime idol show portrayed them, usually they actively participate in any cosplay contest held in shopping malls or schools. For those who like to draw manga, the arena is ready also for channeling their talent.

One more part of pop culture imported from the land of the samurai who crowded popular young people in Indonesia now is Harajuku Style. It is said that the Harajuku style permissiveness has been widely adopted as our youth, as part of the business selling ngobral look and sensation. Harajuku Style in the eyes of teenage boys Indonesia style of dress sense is a strange, eccentric, and all-round ngejreng. When in fact Harajuku is a popular designation for the area around the JR Harajuku, Shibuya District, Tokyo. This area is famous as the place of young people congregate. The location covers about Meiji Jingu, Yoyogi Park, shopping centers Takeshita Street (Takeshita-dori), department store Laforet, and the Yoyogi National Gymnasium. Harajuku is not an official designation for the name of the place, and not dicantumin in the address book.

Had it occurred to me, yes that is actually what makes them that mention things like that to be named Harajuku Style? I guess this might be closely related to the activities of teenagers who like to do in Japan in the Harajuku area. Sure, if we take a stroll and see the activities of young children in front of Japan's Meiji Shrine-jinggu, not far from Harajuku Station, where we could see the Harajuku girls who dressed them funny. Apparently this news might be spread through the ground water that may be disseminated through the media or perhaps also through the stories of Indonesia who has lived in Japan and then back to Indonesia. Harajuku reputedly became popular after the print media such as magazines covered Anan and non-no at the time of opening of large-scale department store in the 1970's. Was preceded by eccentric fashion style clothing in both the magazine. Many young Japanese are fond of the streets of Harajuku, njiplak patterns of clothing in the magazine.

However, beneath it all, there are some things that I noticed was still there is a difference also between a growing Harajuku Style Harajuku style in Japan with the usual teenage practiced Indonesia. When in Indonesia, it seems they are not as brave as Japanese teenagers to express themselves through her Harajuku Style it. Why do I say so? Because in fact if I look at the style of Harajuku Style the original Japanese version it really was not put forward again dressed moral ethics.

Harajuku style Japanese version not just a hair cut so not uniform and wearing body armor that gokil abis. But apparently there is some way the flow of clothing. Call it gothic lolita are mostly worn by girls in Japan, with a pattern of elegant fashion, gothic, feminine, and makes the wearer like a Victorian doll motif. In addition, there are Japanese-style punks, inspired by the punk movement in the early 70's. Cosplay, making ourselves and our clothes as closely as possible ama anime character or game characters, like Naruto or Bakabon. Decora, with characteristic bright colors, flamboyant, and quirky. Kawaii, which means funny or cute. Of course, the clothing worn must also funny and cute. Perhaps the time yes Pokemon costume dress ... hehe. And wamono, which is a combination of Japanese clothing with western. Yes gampangannya kimono so ama jeans.

Meanwhile, if her Harajuku Style Indonesian people usually they are still limited to the expression of hair styles and makeup that is not too flashy (although if it's already ketebak harajuku style mediocre version). They had dared to dress Harajuku style when there are actual events or matsuri festival-style cosplay Indonesia wrote. Meanwhile, if in their daily life, I believe any man sefanatik diusungnya style, still he would not dare to express seheboh Japanese teens in front of Meiji Shrine-jinggu deket Harajuku station. In this regard, one day I had idly asked a friend in Indonesia who like to really follow Japanese pop-culture festival. At that time I asked, "dare not appear dressed like this in everyday life?" Then he replied, "yes, no lah ...". I asked again, "the reason why?" Turns out he replied, "dong shame ...." Lha .... nice is if still got embarrassed. Well, from here we can get the conclusion, when in fact they still have to collide with the general population norm rule fortress Indonesia who still think it was weird. Different again if maybe they were ready to be called a lunatic or a thug because pake makeup range so, hehe ....

Ah ... turns out not all the cultural influences that can bring positive things. Initially I thought the holding of events in Indonesia's degree Japanese culture is a positive thing. Because the reason from there we can know each other cultures of each country. Besides it can also help us learn many useful things. For example, with follow-race Japanese speech contest, it means indirectly we hone and test the ability of our foreign language acquisition. Not all effects of acculturation could be harmful origin can still be placed in the proper place and not excessive. But if you've offended the ethical, moral, and more religious, wow .... 'd better think again before doing.
