WHAT IS JAPANESE WOMEN'S FASHION? w/ JPOP STAR World Tour | Fung Bros

Let's check out, yo, A.B. is this, is this your sweater? It is, yo, it's warm. A.B., you on this wave. Hey, I am. See, I'm telling you guys, you know, it's gotta be extra warm out here, it's cold in Japan right now. Japanese women's fashion is some of the most unique and most talked about around the world. Everything ranging from kawaii, the ultra cutesy Hello Kitty type style, and to kakoi, the cool hip hop style, it all falls within normal everyday fashion. You don't need to be a performer or some artist to wear this. You just gotta be in Japan. I'm joined with fashion forward new wave J-pop artist, Minami from Cream, to explore the differences between kawaii and kakoi. Let's go talk to some real people and see what we find out. She likes an idol girl. They go on Instagram and they get their inspiration from there. They said that their style is more original and that they don't really go off of like a magazine or Instagram as much, and it's more just what they feel like wearing at the time. He loves trap music, so anything from the States that's trap music. Tatoeba. Playboi Carti. He likes Playboi Carti. Kawaii. What she's saying is, I'm cute from the inside and out. So it's more about the attitude and everything. He said it's a hard question to answer. He says that his smile is kawaii. So we're gonna go to the third floor. This is a brand that I'm actually wearing today. It's called Cote Mer. It's a domestic brand, and I think it's like the hottest brand like ever. Okay. So we're about to talk about some local Tokyo streetwear. Yes. I see a lot of like fusion between, obviously there's art, there's hip hop, there's definitely rock, because rock and hip hop kind of go together now. It seems like it could be easier for women because you can also use men's clothing, because there's not that many like strictly women's streetwear clothing. There isn't, there isn't. You know, I feel like Japan is good at taking like a snapshot of American culture and just running with it. Would a Harajuku style girl also dress like this, or is that maybe too far? I think, no. They're about that life and just about that life, and that's fine too, you know what I mean? You won't really see this in America, but yo, it works on you right here. Right? I can see you outside in the street just done too. Isn't it cute? It looks good. I feel like even girls who are fashionable in America are not dressing like this anymore. To me, it almost seems like a Missy Elliott, late 90s, early 2000s, like Destiny's Child, Aaliyah, like extra baggy, uncuffed, like jean jacket. With the bedazzle. Yeah. Bedazzle is so coming back. Bedazzle definitely is coming back. It's so coming back, yes. I think that Americans are so into the fitness stuff right now that they kind of want to show what they got. This would be a really cool way to recycle clothes. I think basically what he does is goes to vintage shops and then picks out a bunch of stuff, because this is not like an originally sewn denim jacket. He just puts stuff on top of it. Oh. Yeah, so that's why I said he's so dope with choosing the right silhouettes, because it's hard to find vintage jackets that work now, even still, you know, the shape. Pretty much, I feel like people in Japan actually dress more like a fashion runway than Americans. You know, because you always see New York Fashion Week, and you see the people walking down the catwalk, and you're always like, people don't actually wear that in regular life, but I feel like more so in Japan. So we're going to be going the levels. We started up here, and then we're going to be going down the ladder. Yeah, and then into your aisle, the kawaii stuff. Nice. Define what is kawaii. Kawaii is a word that we use just when we see something that's really nice or cute. So if you see a cute girl, you say kawaii. If you see something like a cute dog, you say kawaii. Can guys be kawaii? Yeah. Okay. Or like how you act is cute. Like cute personality, you say kawaii. I heard the epitome. This is what I read online. The definition is based around like, babies are the epitome of kawaii. Oh. Because they're big, chubby, round faces with big eyes. Right. So you call me a baby right now? I didn't say it. Koumeiru said we could take a piece with us. Koumeiru, thank you. I appreciate it. Yo, I like it. Thank you, man. Thank you so much, Sato-san. Feeling real fresh today. Yo, I hopped out of the regular clothes into the Koumeiru. I feel like- You feeling really Tokyo? Yo, I'm feeling very Tokyo. Yo, shout out to Store by Nigo. Nigo, the guy who started Bape. Still doing his thing. So, Minami, you showed Travis Scott around Japan. I did, for Hypebeast. You hang it over there. And it's supposed to come true. This is the probably busiest crosswalk in the world. Shout out to Hypebeast. How was that like? That was really interesting because he was big, but he's not as big as he was now. Okay. So just to see him evolve as an artist, that was really interesting for me. I heard that you guys got some crepes. We did. Well, I'm going to do what you did with Travis Scott. We're going to get some crepes too because I feel like Travis Scott right now, okay? All right. So, we're in front of our next spot, Warp. What I love about this store is that they have things that are in 5XL. I'm all about that 5XL. So, you like this spot because you can put together a very fashionable outfit for not very much. Yes. Okay. Where are we at right now? So, we're at a shop called Bubbles. And this is definitely a kawaii shop. Ooh. I can feel the kawaii. In fact, I feel the kawaii radiating off of it right now. It's very pink. All right. Let's check out this store. All right. Let's go. This is so cute. Hey, guys. Hey. Yo. I think it works. I'm wearing a skirt, guys. She's like, my legs haven't felt this much air in a long time. From kakui to kawaii. All right, everybody. That wraps up our female fashion video out in Tokyo. Yo, thank you so much, Minami, for taking us through that. That was so cool to talk about from kakui to kawaii. The two ends of the spectrum. Thank you guys for having me. I really had a good time. Honestly speaking, I'm more about that kakui life. But today, I figured out that there is a little bit of kawaii in me, you know? Kakui has now infiltrated kawaii. Yes. Man, so it's really cool for me because, to be honest, I'm not that much into the kawaii culture as much. The kawaii people, they're very so bubbly and smiley. They're willing to get on camera, and they want to talk about and spread the message of kawaii. It's more of kind of a thing you want to talk about versus street wear. You kind of keep it cool. You want to keep it low-key. It's a lifestyle. It's definitely a lifestyle because then everyone's attitude is real kawaii, too. They're not just like, oh, I'm cute, but I'm mean. No, they're actually cute, and they're very friendly, too. Maybe the whole world could use a little bit more kawaii right now. The world's a little crazy. More kawaii. All right, everybody, thanks for watching that video. Check out Manami's stuff down below. In the comments below, let us know, are you more kawaii or kakui? I don't know. I might have to say I'm a little more kakui. I think you're kawaii. He's kawaii, like, represent. Wow, that's so funny that AB is more kawaii than me. Super kawaii. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but I'll take it. Hey, cute is cute. All right, everybody, until next time, we out in Tokyo. Peace. We are about to do a very kawaii video. We got Joey. Hey, guys. And we got Vienna. Hi. First off, we're going to pet some hedgehogs. Let's go. This is a little worm right here. He likes the wormies. Oh, snap. You like the wormies, neck. Yo, yo, it thinks that you're a big hedgehog. That's why. I'm the mama hedgehog. Oh, my gosh. He just flipped him over. It must be good to be this guy, man. All he has to do is just chill, sit there. He gets a road treatment. He's living. Oh, my gosh. Let's head over to pet some otters. Oh, he smells it. Oh, look at him. He's like, he's throwing a gang sign. Hey, yo. All right, there you go. All righty, do you want another treat? Oh, look at this boy. Yo, he grabbed it from your hand. He's just like, I can't do that. That's mine. Let's go check out some chinchillas. Crikey. What do we have here? What do we have here, mate? Chinchilla. Shout out to Steve Irwin, RIP. All right, he's cool now. He's cool now. You can't scare him. Be slow and gentle. Yeah, here you go, slowly. You might think you might want him as a scarf, so you guys got to be real gentle when it comes to small critters. And this is considered a long-tailed chinchilla, I would assume. Oh, he pooped on me. Personally, I know that some people don't like the pet cafes. I feel like Harry's really respects them and takes good care of them. Thank you so much, guys, for watching that video. Shout out to Vienna. Shout out to Joey. Please like this video. Check out their links down below. All right, everybody, until next time, we out. Peace. This is his first kawaii crepe. Will that change him? He's going to have the anime eyes once he eats them. Let's see how kawaii I can get right now. Make me more kawaii. What's something I would say that's really kawaii?
