INTRODUCTION
Japan's urban tribes. There are many theories about urban tribes because they arise, and several are linked to issues specific to each society (violence, addiction to fashion, rejection or adherence to the war) ... The issue is complex and results analysis that better worth investigating if you intereze item. We could focus, synthesizing the urban tribes from two sides: the aesthetic and ideological, the two are controversial, first because there is way too and the second by having almost gone ... almost all the tribes were created from a collection of strong ideas, thoughts which established the rationale for the formation of the group. On this there is something well known, which is the nickname of "poseur" (from French "thought") that is what we call here in Argenta "mask" but in technical language "Poseur" is one who, totally ignoring the ideals of group, dressed with what appears distinctive mark and repeat each and every one of the idioms and words that the group took at some point ... the root of these ideals that the "poseur" ignored. The music, literature, abnormal taste (the taste that "no rule", that they shape their standard), hobbies, etc. are variables.
THE "GALS OR GYARU"
GAL (or the Japanese transliteration, Gyaru) is the term popular style, or-even-subculture originated
in Japan, and today has emerged in the West. It began about 1991, when tanning salons the "loose socks" became popular in schools and Shibuya academies. This trend led to the birth of Kogal (Kogyaru) cliché that echoed the look of the girls California. Tanned skin, dyed hair, miniskirts, attired cellular accessories and makeup were main definitive characteristics of this trend.
Gyaru or Gals, a tribe of fashion girls (girls shampoo, as I tell myself) that are commonly used as an expensive clothes and dye their hair blond or brown. I read somewhere that even so expensive that it be Gyaru many of them prostitutes (actually offer "compensated dating") or sell their used underwear to meet their expenses.
There are many subgroups, differentiated by their skin tone (depending on the amount of tanning bed makers), makeup and clothing.
The most bizarre: the Ganguro (and its most extreme in Yamanba). Take tanning bed and use products to bring your skin to tan almost black, dye their hair blond (white-silver in extreme cases), use makeup to highlight the clear tan skin, especially eyes and lips who paint white. The paint directly Yamanba eyes like a raccoon.

The term Visual, refers primarily to the visual appearance of the artists, while Kei (系) means internal appearance .. It is notable for its impressive individuality and that Japan is a conservative society and is frowned upon "highlight" visual aesthetics is the representation that goes against their thinking. Members of Visual Kei bands usually use extravagant makeup, hair style with dramatic shapes and elaborate costumes. Although the vast majority of musicians are men, it is common that some wear makeup or costumes that could be considered 'feminine' or androgynous. In some cases, each member of the group stands for something in particular, and dress according to that, for example: The attraction of the locker room is so great for the fans who do cosplay of the members of his favorite bands, is notable for impressive individuality and that Japan is a conservative society and is frowned upon "highlight" visual aesthetics is the representation that goes against their thinking.

In Japan there are a number of urban tribes that are distinguished from each other by their dress. There is a specific tribe can be found in the Harajuku area, this is one of the stops the train makes in the area of Tokyo. These trends have taken over the Japanese culture in youth and adolescents.
On Sunday, young people usually gather in this area wearing clothes that identify them from among the various tribes found there. One of the most fun and colorful tribes are the girls' Decora. This trend that started in Japan is to wear colorful clothes of different textures and prints but the color is pink prevalce. The hair is put an endless number of accessories, from ribbons, cherry-shaped clips or to the most beautiful clip of Hello Kitty. The arms are filled with an unlimited number of bracelets of all colors and shapes, and can not miss the bag in the form of fruit or bear's head or some other character in this fashion.
We regularly see these girls in groups of two or maximum three, so it is common to see two of them use the same accessories. It can also be called Dekora or decorate themselves and call themselves Decorachan.
The style is quite striking, which is why many people are taking pictures or portraits with them.Without these the area of Harajuku girls lose its charm color. It might even be said to be part of the tourist attractions of the region of Japan.
