what do you think of them?
..i think its a bit weird how the harajuku girls follow her everywhere, and she treats them like accessories or something, and i thought harajuku girls were supposed to be like gothic..but i dunno. ><

I guess she needed a gimmick... And she got it. I remember her saying that she thought they had extreme style.. Maybe that's why.

when i saw that idiot bananas video, the beginning part.. "aww, super KAWAII!" i was under the impression that gwen stefani is trying to be japanese.

wait how old is she?
i think she's suffering an early mid-life crisis
yea apparently she loves harajuku style, but its kinda an over obsession.
i hope she doesnt have to rely on it too long, it's getting kinda creepy

I just think that it is freaking weird. she has changed so much since her no doubt days. I miss "The Return of Saturn" days...

^yeah thats pretty weird of her to have those girls as her sidekick. does anyone know why she does that? i dont think ill ever able to understand why gwen does the things she does.

*Nods in agreement*
Her kind of hip-hop, kind of punk, kind of goth diva is getting to be a bit too much. I love the old Gwen.
...I do love the Harajuku girls, though. Preferably the real ones. Kind of a guilty pleasure.

i like her girls but i do think it is a bit weird how they follow her everyone and she acts like they are not even there...but obviously they like it. <,<
i like the way the dance!

the harajuku girls are really cool, but it sort of creeps me out, it seems like they are her personal properties

The Original Harajuku girls are better. Plus, they're the real thing. Gwen Stefani's harajuku girls aren't even wearing harajuku styles. Well they kinda are, except they're more slutty, and they look more chinese/korean to me (no offense ><;; I'm not racist or anything, but I'm japanese, and they seriously don't look very Japanese)
Just google "harajuku" and you'll get pictures of all the harajuku styles and such, and not ONE of them look as slutty as gwen stefani's!
Too much J-rock has caused all of this harajuku knowledge ><

she`s definitely using the harajuku style for "something new" to help out her solo image.

That's so true. I loved Don't Speak!

Anyways, I don't really like the Harajuku girls that follow Gwen around. I like the actual and original ones better.

I think it's cool.. I mean even though it's just a look, I like the babydoll look of harujuku girls. It doesn't mind me that they follow her around. I like how she's introducing a different type of fashion into the world. Gwen Stefani's pretty cool. :]

Watch a lot of nonasian 12-13 year olds dress up as them ANNNNDDDDDD try to look as asian as possible.. this is going to be the future! RUN!

i liked her better when she was in no doubt. and i agree,she does use the harajuku girls as an accessory. i've never even heard them talk before. they pretty much just go where ever she goes,and appear in her videos.

I feel stupid for asking this.

Yeah I agree. I love the kinda babydoll lolita style that they rock. I am a lolita lover in general. I could say more but you just took the words out of my mouth.

i guess the harajuku girls are ok. i like the way they dress. but, honestly i think gwen stefani is wack by herself so i could care less about who is following her
RHyse
May 24 2005, 01:35 PM
I find the h-girls a bit frigtening and they seem to be everywhere gwen is like they are accessories or something I dont like it. It gives me they creeps she is trying so hard to re-invent herself it seems like she is almost desperate, I wish she would just get back with No-doubbt already...

lol yeah i guess you can consider them her accessories. but i think it's a pretty cool idea of gwen's. it's interesting isnt it? an american rockstar with japanese gothic dancers.

Gwen Stefani should stick with No doubt cuz the whole solo thing is not working before her songs meant something now she talks about bananas and danger zones

I think it's sort of strange. I guess it's what she wants to be known for. But I do find it sort of creepy how they hang around her all the time.

um hate to dissapoint u but harijuku girls arent supposed to be goths. harijuku is the ghetto parts of japan so theyre ghetto girls. dont u remember in the rich girl song "from the hoods of japan harijuku girls what"

it is kinda sad how she uses them... but i bet you they get paid alot of money. its annoying though

I miss No Doubt.

Gwen Stefani's okay now...I guess.

Those harajuku girls are a bit...odd.
WhiteLotus*
May 27 2005, 11:13 PM
Haha! Why would you say that they look gothic? They're from Harajuku, a big fashion place in Japan.
Well, it's kind of annoying now. They're in like every picture that Gwen's in, and I really don't like the whole idea of them being an accessory to her.
I just wish Gwen went back to No Doubt and fast.

i LOVE the harajuku girls in japan. they have such an awesome style. if only my parents would let me dress like them.
personally, i dont think that gwen stefani's harajuku girls look like actual harajuku girls in japan. it kind of destroys the image of the real harajuku girls.

May 28 2005, 04:28 AM
dont just google in "harajuku girls" and see what comes up. cause thats just the extreme of it. ther are "harajuku girls" who dress alot like the ones that follow her around. but those are alos a certain style of the harajuku girls. they follow the alive and wonderland theme wich has a name but i cant remember it. the gothic stuff you see is called "lolita"anyway. as well as this the basic point of being a harajuku girls is going for the extreme. that includes make up as well. and to me those girls have gone preeety far in makeup.. anyway i think her harajuku girls are a good show of wat they real harajuku girls look like. though they are not at the most extreme end its still there. i think its slightly odd how they follow her.
