Make
friends who like the same anime, manga, sushi, ah substantially all of
the all Japanese smell, getting really familiar as the term Harajuku
Style. If I look in Indonesia alone, at least since I was in high school, this trend is increasingly booming. Evidently, more and more and more shows and events in different places using the all-Japanese theme. Starting
from the cosplay festival, matsuri Bunkasai, manga drawing
competitions, race shodo, band music festival J-Pop & J-Rock, etc..
At
least from the city where I live alone, in Bandung, the influence of
the spread of Japanese pop culture is increasingly widespread. Almost
every high school in London at that time certainly had an
extra-curricular organizations whose activities do things the Japanese
smell. Ordinary members gathered at their respective places or
creating a community to channel their hobbies. It also seems increasingly supported by a variety of event execution channeling their hobby. 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, it's ready for the event are channeling their talent.One
more part of pop culture imported from the land of the samurai who
crowded popular young children 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 look and ngobral selling sensation. Harajuku Style in the eyes of teenagers Indonesia sense is dressed in an odd, quirky, and completely ngejreng. The truth was Harajuku popular designation for the area around the JR Harajuku, Shibuya District, Tokyo. This area is famous as a place young people congregate. The
location includes approximately 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.
It occurred to me, exactly what it was that made them call it something like that be called 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 had lived in Japan and then back to Indonesia. Harajuku
reputedly became popular after the print media like magazines covered
Anan and non-no at the opening of a massive department store in the
1970's. Was preceded by a quirky fashion clothing styles at the magazine. Many young Japanese are fond of the streets of Harajuku, njiplak clothing patterns in the magazine.However,
beneath it all, there are some things that I noticed was still there is
a difference also between a thriving Harajuku Style Harajuku style in
Japan with the usual teenage practiced Indonesia. In Indonesia, it seems they are not as brave as Japanese teenagers to express themselves through her Harajuku Style it. Why do I say this? Because
in fact if I look at the style of Harajuku Style the original Japanese
version it really is not put forward again dressed moral ethics.
Japanese Harajuku style 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 dresses. 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 eccentric. Kawaii, which means funny or cute. Of course the clothes must also funny and cute. Maybe dress costumes Pokemon time yes ... hehe. And Wamono, which is a combination of Japanese clothing with western. Yes trivial kimono so ama jeans.
Meanwhile,
if her Harajuku Style of Indonesia typically they are 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 only 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 pop culture japan festival. At that time I asked, "dare not appear dressed like this in everyday life?" And he replied, "it is not ...". I asked again, "the reason why?" Apparently he replied, "shame dong ...." Lha .... if good is still a shame. Well,
from here we can get the conclusion, when in fact they still have to
collide with the norms of the general rule fortress Indonesia who still
thought it was weird. Different again if they might be ready to be called a lunatic or a thug because pake makeup range so, hehe ....
Ah ... it was not all that cultural influences can bring a positive thing. Initially I thought the holding of events in Indonesia's degree Japanese culture is a positive thing. Due to the reason of it we get to know the 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 the effects of acculturation could be harmful origin can still be placed in their proper place and not excessive. But if you've offended the ethical, moral, and more religious, whoa .... 'd better think again before doing .
