Japanese Style: Extreme Tanning

Posted on November 9, 2006 
Filed Under Japanese

I’m usually very impressed with how far ahead some Japanese kids are when it comes to fashion, but I’m not sure about this one. Extreme sunless tanning (borderline blackface) is a bit much. All they need now are some big old J-Lo butt implants, and they all set.

    Reminds me a lot of black-face minstrelsy.

    The really surprising thing is that all of those “girls” are actually men.

  3. crash courses on October 12th, 2007 12:47 pm

    Is that true? Are they really blokes!?

  4. Paul on October 12th, 2007 2:14 pm

    They’re trying sooo hard to look like Southern California blonde beach babes.

  5. Emi on October 12th, 2007 4:14 pm

    Um yeah, see the date on those pictures? 1999. That look (”ganguro”) has been out of style for a long time now. Yes, it’s scary, but it’s old news…

    These girls are “Yamamba”. This has been going on for about 15 or so years. The lighter ones do legit tanning so some of them look pretty decent but the most of the ones shown here are uncommonly dark and are using pigmented creams. Another commenter mentioned blackface and even though the trend itself is benign you are correct in that blackface is manifest. In Japan they see black people as very exotic and do not understand that things such as mammies are racist. The same goes for black face, though the real goal of this trend was just to simulate tropical clothing and tans.

    WTF is all I have to ask. Ain’t that like DANGEROUS and don’t tanning like that cause skin CANCER!? I am going to laugh when all those Japanese women get Cancer. I thought they were advanced but apparently not ._. To be this stupid

    But anyways. It seems like a “cool” fad, can’t imagine any girls here in Florida doing that. Meh.

    They all went from pretty to ugly in 2.5 seconds…

    I believe it’s called ganguro fashion.

    I like Japanese street fashion, but I’m not a fan of that.

    [...] Umm… yeah. So, if you haven’t guessed already, these girls do something with black and faces. Luckily, because of millions of years of evolution have allowed us to put 2 and 2 together, we understand what they do. They, through a process that science calls tanning, make themselves many shades darker than they were when they were birthed. The question I’m hoping is on your mind right now is “Why the hell would they do that?” The meaningless, and senseless, answer is because they think it’s cool. Please don’t ask me why they think it’s cool I don’t know; luckily no one else does either. [...]

    ok - i’m living in japan >>> what u need to know is that in japan the solariums have the same machines as north america and europe - except whereas in the west the time limits are normally like 8, 10, or 12 minutes - in japan - they are set at 40, 60, or 80 minutes > they also have more powerful machines that can be used for 15, 30, or 45 minutes - and additional MEGA powerful machines for only face. another difference if instead of regular tan enhancer lotions - they give you something called ‘orange’ which intentionally designed to make you orange not brown … lovely lol x — and they are v e r y v e r y cheap - for 40 minutes on one of these beds it’s only about $8

  24. NewYorkSweetstuff on January 31st, 2008 6:53 pm

    OMG! These girls are crazy, hopefully it’s just a quick fad and they all get out of it. I see American girls just like that, LOL!

    AFV also smuggles fat children across the mexican border by hiding them in his anal cavity which has be stretched out by the countless number of AIDS infested black homeless men he spends his waking hours with.

    I know AFV too and he does smuggle children across the border in his ass. Sometimes the kids die and he just leaves them in his ass for weeks.

    I saw a documentary on those ganguro girls and most japanese people disapprove of them. They are outcasted from society so they create their own “clans” and clubs. To become a member of those clubs, you are challenged in various ways (weird tasks and stuff) most of them don’t tan, they apply a special makeup base and purposely do their hair and makeup to confirm to the style of their club. It’s rare now but used to be quite a trend.

    This is not blackface, even the darkest fake tan, these girls are not trying to be racist, they are paying ‘homage’ to Hip Hop culture and American Blacks. If these girls were white, THEN it would be racist.
