Considering the current new reports about gyaru and revival of old magazines, it's about time for a new thread.

The timing for a comeback fits anyways, after all it was born as fight against japan's beauty standards which are all about ~natural beauty~ again.

Some article about heisei vs reiwa gal or rather why the younger generation doesn't go to shibuya anymore:

This video sparks so much joy!
I'm not a gyaru and never was, my makeup skills are so bad I never could pull it off but I do admire gyaru. Hime gyaru was my favourite (I'm a lolita obviously) and I enjoyed the times were we had so many different styles in jfashion and I do miss it. I miss this galore of variation and I really do hope gyaru gets popular again.

not sure if this should be in the stupid questions thread, but is gyaru so negatively perceived in Japan? I understand Japanese people dislike the excessive tanning and OTT makeup of gyaru from the 2000s because it goes so against Japanese beauty ideals, but the gyaru shown in that vid looks pretty normie in comparison. Is it because gyarus are associated with having some semblance of sex drive, so Japanese men hate them for not trying to look like 'soft uwu petite pure maidens ' or something?

There is also a real association between gyaru and yankii, and certain stereotyped versions of both are similar (loud, rude, garish delinquents rejecting societal norms).

I've been looking on-and-off for years and they all seem to appear when I'm not actively checking the market, or when I do find one it's a seller asking 30,000jpy for for a battered piece of garbage they've been using as a horse blanket for the past two decades.

It was uncommon for Japanese youth to participate openly in sex unless they were delinquents. They don't have the same type of culture are here in the U.S.

Having sex their means you must be the otaku type, the bimbo type (gal), or a delinquent. At least, when gal got its roots it was the case. At the time, the magazine publishing sex tips for girls was considered unheard of. It's something that while commonplace in American culture, was uncommon for Japan's culture.

So, to answer your question. Yes. Gyaru stayed late at clubs, hung out in groups in town, and sat around laughing at sex tips in magazines while squatting on the streets in short skirts smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. To the U.S., none of this sounds bizarre. In Japan during the 90's and early 2000's, this was unheard of.

They were also the first to really dress 'sexy' in a way that could appeal to the mainstream crowd. Goths and punks have always been dressing skimpy, but they aren't everyone's cup of tea. Gals were the first girls dressing in a sexy way that appealed to a large majority of the mainstream in their day-to-day attire.

Also, to clarify, when I say 'delinquents', I mean those actually going out and committing both petty and serious crimes. Gals were not delinquents as they weren't doing anything that broke the law per say, no (outside maybe smoking and drinking underage). They weren't painting graffiti, picking fights, stealing, and endangering public safety. They were just having a good time & enjoying the more tangible parts of life.

I wasn't around for the heyday of the styles, but recently I've been nostalgic for 2014-2016, when I was really into them. I started falling out of it when I had to move frequently due to an unsteady home situation (many of my belongings I either had to get rid of or were lost in the process of moving.) For a while I didn't have the money to buy much beside necessities, but now that I'm married, have moved to another country and am stable, I've been entertaining the idea of getting into it again... The only real thing holding me back (aside from not wanting to spend too much money) is that I used to live in the southern US and now live in the UK. Even back then, I wasn't brave enough to wear it publicly on any more than a few occasions (and with lighter makeup). I feel like it'd seem even more out of place in the UK than the US. Along with that, I'm not as keen on bleaching/using a lot of product on my hair now, or tanning.

Just reminiscing. I hope the styles really do make a comeback, particularly the more garish manba/yamanba ones, they were my favorite.

Haha, I'm in Northern Ireland. I find it hard to imagine a gyaru community here, much less a community for the more drastic styles, but that being said I did see a girl in full lolita coord on my way to the post office once.

Since Discord mods read this thread sometimes, or their friends do...

Please keep an eye on that Mira girl. She's an /a/ tripfag with HPD who has been involved in all kinds of drama and selfposts on lolcow because she wants to be infamous online. She came into gyaru via the fetish, as far as I can tell still sees it like that, and is constantly pandering to coomers, it wouldn't at all surprise me if she shares pictures from the comm with her /a/ coomer friends.

She's not really done anything in the server (yet), but please at least be aware of this and quietly observe her to see if some fuckshit happens. I've enjoyed the discord becoming comfy and don't want that to change.

I used to know her a bit after I broke away from the waifu threads. I can at least say that she's distanced herself away from those types of people (as far as I can tell, basically every female poster eventually did aside from the ones that are really far gone.) The entire thing was depressing as fuck and should stand as a warning as to why to take sexual abuse seriously and to not let your severely mentally ill teenage daughter do drugs every day and entertain coomers. She seems to have actually tried to take her life back from that, but I do think a warning for her is deserved, while the coomer shit was mostly a drugged out teenager being used, she now has no hesitation telling people to tell themselves, cut themselves, showing how to self harm, sending gore and all similar things like that if she deems them a bad person.

tl;dr: fetish shit was all adult men literally cumming their pants over the being able to use and abuse mentally ill teenage drug addict and those probably shouldn't define her, but now she suicide baits people for liking certain anime or not being totally "woke".

You have good taste anon, I would say look up cocolulu like othe anon said, maybe albarosa too. Mihona Fuji also post things about the prints and clothings she drawn in gals on her twitter so it can be a good source too ( pic related ). If your doing a summer look with platform sandals you can find some on normies non japanese 2nd hand store but for classic gyaru platform and boots I would say look up attagirl ( it's good and cheap but maybe shipping can be expensive since it's chunky shoes ).

Like I get how it is kinda like the more extreme black diamond girls looks, but the white eye stuff looks a bit more like a fusion of the two than even the more intense gyaru alone.

I mean I get it. I've been following this thread but never joined because I'm not a gyaru and I figured that's what you're supposed to do. Not join communities you're not part of. No one wants a comm overrun with people not participating. Look what a mess that is in lolita comms.

I'm interested in reading about it tho. Especially from actual gyaru as I feel in-community conversation gives a lot of nuance and knowledge info sites simply can't cover or keep track of ever changing stuff, while on the same time don't know that much about it and likely will not wear it myself because as a whole it's just not my style, so I at best take some inspo from it. But I am truly interested in it as an outsider braiding there horizon. I'm kinda happy this got the cgl tread a bit more active so I can lurk without invading gyaru communities (which I won't do regardless), kinda hope it stays active now.

Now that I comment anyways, what would be other good places to lurk or just read that won't be full of misinformation, outdated stuff, etc? Cgl is one of the few completely open to lurk forums people can talk freely I can think about, as looking at things like lolita and goth even to noobs seemingly decent YouTube channels and such are actually shit. So I'm open for recommendations because other than this thread I don't really know where to start when it comes to gyaru, maybe I'm just missing very obvious places.

I'm not a gal either, but there's a free gaijin gyaru magazine available digitally called Magazine Papillon. Someone here recommended me @hellolizziebee on IG, and she was promoting it. She has a YouTube and a blog as well. I also saw people here talking about egg magazine revival, so I found its IG and started following their models and looking through the tags they use.

if you're looking to lurk the facebook group sekai no gyarusa seems kinda lax in terms of membership so you'll find content there. you can also probably just read the blogs that community members are writing since those are just on blogspot. twitter might be an option as well because a lot of these girls just go nuts posting pics and hot takes there but you will have to hunt down the specific people you want to follow so that's the only annoying part

Considering how much ita's in lolita are making content that's wrong, bad, or just very personal opinion based content I'm a bit worried I end up reading content that's shit, since I don't know enough to know for sure I can seperate trash from good stuff.

Oh, dude, Black Diamond are gals. It's a gal circle, yes. They're gyaru, and some of the really, really well known ones.

Manba/Banba, mountain hag, is one of the most extreme variations of gyaru. I hope that's simpler to understand. The attached photo is gyaru. It's just a substyle. The style is gyaru, and everything under it is a substyle.

Think of it like... species and sub-species, if you will. Little Herman's Ivy & Spearpoint Ivy are the same species, Hedera Helix, but we recognize them as different sub-species because of their entirely different appearance. Substyles of gyaru work the same. It's an umbrella.

If I break a nail and go short, I like squoval, but I tend to keep my natural nails medium to long and almond shaped.

I also saw some nail salons doing fun claw type gel extensions with pointer and middle finger short and square and calling it the lesbian manicure. That's pretty based but also practical for opening cans of sparkling water and using keypads and shit.

I'm at a total loss for what to do with my hair. I don't want to get bangs again but I have a massive forehead. I can't wear a side part, which seems to be the most popular with modern Japanese gals, because of said billboard forehead. On top of that, most updos look like shit on me because I have extremely thin, fine hair and my scalp shows. I haven't gone to the salon since covid started and have been bleaching it at home, which probably doesn't help the thinness, but what can you do. At least it's soft and not fried, which is just about the only redeeming quality it has.
All that to say... I'm at a loss. The middle part with no bangs that I currently have is very current American zoomer style and doesn't suit gyaru. Also, I'm white with 2b curls. Any hair inspos?

have you tried a 3/4 part? you can create swoopy bang like looks this way. I'd also suggest a half up style with a ponyfall to add some volume. If you want to go the extra mile you can use clip in extensions on the lower half of the hair. If you can't find color matches to your hair, rit dyemore can be used to customize kanekalon.

I fell pretty badly into an eating disorder the last 2 years and even though I'm recovering now my hair still hasn't come back at all and I'm afraid it's permanently fucked up.

I really hope asexuals don't wear gyaru. Dressing sexy yet not enjoying sex is deceptive and counts as reverse rape. It's not like people who can't even enjoy the spiritual act of sex have the emotions or empathy to understand how much they harm others though.

Pretty sure many Japanese (and general East-Asians) use a type of hair make-up to hide their scalp and make their hair look fuller at the roots. It can also be used to make your hairline a nicer shape/fuller. Have you tried that?

Otherwise, extensions might help to give your hair more volume. and allow more hairstyles.

Now that we know you have hair recession or thinning at specific points it changes the plan of attack. Don't be afraid to use stuff like brow powder in the recessed/thinning areas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P04pS4yQiNQ Avoid any unnecessary traction and stress around those points. You might be able to use a half wig or other additional hair products as long as it stays away from the sensitive areas. Sometimes I'll do a a braid width-wise and use a claw clip for volume but if that would pull too much for you, I'd stay away. good luck anon.

doing a little contour is fine (hell even for 2010s gal there are tutorials for different noses) but western gals all wear their contour in the same heavy, many times unflattering way. or how many people think it's required to line the waterline. i'm all for keeping 2010s style of you like it and look good, but it's hard for newbies to understand that even back then gal wasn't such a uniform style when the comm is so rigid about the style.

Quick question after reading some blogs. Do non-Japanese gyaru still/unironically call themselves gajin gyaru? It seems a bit funny and reminiscent of weeaboos (who use it unironically too) since gajin is generally used as an insult in Japan unless you're in for example the countryside, with gaikogujin being the "politically correct" term.

But it seems most (beside EGG obviously) reference mainly 2012 magazines and older even in 2021 posts, and people here seem to say similar things about western gyaru. Are there any other sources on modern day gyaru trends, or is watching general j-fash streetsnaps like Tokyo Fashion and KERA and checking EGGs new post the best/only way to go? I've been rather inspired by the make-up now but full on gyaru is too much for me so I've only been trying out some toned down versions of techniques. Hearing Japanese trends are much more toned down right now makes me curious. Especially interested in the eye make-up. But also love to read/watch about fashion, hair, and other make-up and general community.

larme is just japanese nymphette fashion. also gyaru isn't a fashion style it's a subculture that went mainstream for a while. that's why there are so many "substyles" that people identify from magazines. those were just fashion styles or spreads with a cute name and styling ideas. many "substyles" that were popular at the time popular with people doing gyaru makeup but gyaru makeup was pretty univerally popular. that's why magazines show gyaru wearing lolita or mori or goth clothing, it was to try to popularize it. i don't understand why westerners have to label everything so often. imagine if people from other countries looking through teen people and thinking an ad for a "summer boho chic" look that has a makeup tutorial with it is an entire alternative fashion style.

For younger girls it seems to be split between "Korean Kei", "Jirai Kei" (which isn't as popular as prior years but I still see people wearing it), and the general trend of just wearing long skirts and conservative blouses with monotone colors. Out of the three, only Jirai kei is really a "substyle". If you want to see more of what young gyaru are wearing, look at egg's instagram and YouTube channel. It's usually a bit different (or very different) from what mainstream girls are wearing. Rady is extremely popular with both older and younger Japanese gyaru, despite its high prices. One of the reasons gyaru isn't as popular in Japan anymore is the economy. According to some article I read, even Uniqlo is considered "too expensive" for Japanese youth. Wages are down across the board, and doing gyaru is pricey to maintain. At least Black Diamond are still around.

hey there! my texture also varies between 3b/3c depending if i air dry or plop. keep in mind that with all these styles, my bangs are straightened and not tied up! my go-to is half up/half down styles, top being either pigtails or just a ponytail. sometimes i do space buns, twin braids, or just scrunch my curls w/ product to give a lot of volume with my straight bangs. they're all relatively quick styles and look schoolgirl-y enough to me. i do prefer letting my hair air dry, as my curls are looser and look a little beachier that way. hope it helps!

They got blackface because of the translation of ganguro always being referred to as blackface.

Agreed on b gyaru maybe feeling like blackfishing, but I think it all stems from an interest in the style of people who look different and wanting to engage in it rather respectfully.

It stems from fighting beauty standards & being pressured to use lightening products for one's skin. A lot of gals started tanning their skin, whether false tan, natural, or sunbathing, & it drew criticism because of a commonplace beauty standard ingrained in Japanese society.

That criticism turned into some gals going super, super dark in sort of a, "Fuck you," to those who were telling them they'd be more beautiful if they were pale.

I'll add to what I've said in >>10613036 that it's important to remember that many of Japanese descent will actually tan quite dark naturally even with the use of high SPF sunscreens. That's why so many products exist beyond standard sunscreen from arm shields & face covers to lightening products that sometimes contain dangerous lighteners on the Japanese market.

A tan is actually quite natural for many people in Japan, and that's just extra icing on the cake that led to an eventual trend of going super, super dark among some gals.

It's inspired by what U.S. communities call 'uzzlang'. A lot of people found within Japanese fashion trends really liked the makeup style taking off among South Korean youth & pop stars back in the mid-2000's. They saw it online & in-person, and adopted it into their own fashions.

It was fresh, it was light, and it made people look good in casual outfits.

I know the origins of the tanning part and all, (b-gyaru I'm not as familiar with but I am fairly sure that is like when they tan but also get things like braids, wear streetwear, hoops, etc. very much like black people in western countries, but it is out of appreciation not trying to appropriate or "steal" anything, kinda like how kpop artists wear urban hip hop inspired looks all the time) I just think people's misconception that it is blackface is because all those news or blog posts where it is translated super literally and they tell people ganguro means "blackface" even though it isn't the same blackface as the racist one and just literally referring to the skin being dark.

Anon, I'm not trying to rock the boat, but I think you're trying to pigeon hole other countries' interests, subcultures, and struggles into your own. If you aren't careful, to do so slowly shifts from what's originally ignorance to racism. I mean, honestly, trying to say gal is appropriating black people is really, really racist toward Japanese people. You should stop.

You aren't familiar with B-gyaru because... well, that was more a descriptive term for some gals who were, in fact, borrowing style inspiration from what was seen in hip-hop videos, but came well after people were already doing ganguro.

I hope that makes sense. Again, I'm not trying to be rude, but you're trying to make other countries subcultures, origins, and struggles your own in a manner that's... well, racist.

Similar look, but different origins. Most magazines in the 90's were exclusively for teenagers who were attending school still. In the 90's, most all makeup was frowned upon in many schools within Japan so many experimented with what they could 'get away with'. The early magazines show examples of this.

You're looking at two different things.

I deleted previous post as I re-read your post. Sorry, it was a bit hard to see exactly what you were saying. Yeah, I mean, it's a problem they keep translating it as 'black-face'. It actually stems from a slang term meaning 'extremely dark'. The slang term is, more or less, telling someone they're ugly because they're tan. I think that's why it gets translated to 'black face'. However, I'd point out the gals themselves chose to use the slang for themselves. I don't think 'black-face' is honestly the correct translation. It should read more like 'dark skin tone'.

B-gyaru is best described kind of like >>10610371 showing the use of carnivore-kei. Or a magazine referring to something as 'nautical', yes.

There was a page many, many years ago that showed B-gyaru with the B in English. The B came from 'beat box' actually. It was just a descriptive terms for some girls who were, in fact, borrowing from hip hop subculture in their dress. The name B-gyaru online came because people saw the article, and thought it represented it's own style. It... wasn't.

I think one of the models in that spread actually was Brazilian-Japanese, in fact. There's actually a pretty high proportion of people with partial Brazilian descent compared to a lot of other ethnicities over there.

I think you misinterpreted my comment.

I never said gals was actual blackface or appropriating black culture, just that b gal specifically was inspired by hip hop and black culture aesthetics (which you agree with). Some people online think dressing in that way at all combined with a tan is blackfishing which I disagree with. I literally said I think b gal is respectful and appreciative of black culture (as a black person, this is my opinion; I don't think it does any harm or that anyone means any harm for Japanese girls to have cute hip hop or streetwear looks, it is innocent and perfectly fine), I never accused them of appropriation.

I'm not trying to make any struggle my own and nothing I said was racist. I was just saying people who mistake ganguro for racism and blackface are probably partly confused because of people promoting the translation of ganguro as "blackface".

Idk if I worded it in a way that was difficult for you to interpret or anything but I literally never said anything you are claiming I said. If anyone needs to stop it is you to reread what I said in my last post and this one, cause I never expressed anything negative of the style as a whole or the substyles, just mentioned why normies or people unfamiliar are probably quick to misinterpret it.

Ayrt, thanks for clarifying further.

The Brazilian thing is likely because Brazil has the highest Japanese population outside of Japan (I forget why but there are tons of Brazilian Japanese mixed people or Brazilian nationals who are 100% ethnically Japanese). When I lived in Japan like 1/3 of the people I ended up interacting with were Japanese Brazilian and they spoke Portuguese more than Japanese.

It's not related to gal, but you reminded me of an ex's family member. She looked at me once in the middle of dinner, and said, "Why does everyone here assume I speak Spanish. I speak Portuguese." I didn't know what to tell her. She was Brazilian, and had an issue with people in-line perpetually trying to talk Spanish to her at check-outs. I didn't really wanna' say, "It's because people assume you're a Mexican because anyone who isn't white or black is either Chinese, Filipino, Indian, or Mexican in the U.S. since apparently those are the only ethnicities that exist." So, I just listened.

brands aren't necessarily gal or not. there were styles and brands that were popular with gals but they become associated with gal, not the other way around. brands like jd, mars dia and even yumetenbo are still around because they established themselves as fashion stores that evolve and change unlike many defunct brands that only made one style that's out of fashion now. you can still wear those styles, but they're not popular anymore.
