/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hey Seagulls! I recently took a brief trip to Japan. I stayed in a hostel with some other tourists and had a great time. Anyhow, I brought a lot of my Jfashion with me. It's all good, brand name stuff. I had some Lolita coords and a gyaru outfit, and I also wore fake nails with gems. Anyhow, this black girl who shared the hostel with me also was into Jfashion. On the last few days of our trip, we decided to wear out lolita coords and gyaru around Tokyo. I noticed that a lot of people were giving us some evil looks, especially with the lolita coords. Some people were even laughing. Regardless of the dirty looks, EVERYONE was staring at us. These coords were adorable, we really do understand the fashion, so that couldn't have been it. It made me think that it had something to do with my friend being black, or that they were mad about none-Japanese were wearing the fashion. What's your experiences with racism in Japan, /cgl/?
