Random thoughts, comments, observations and general fluff from a random bint who left London at the end of September 2004 to embark on a new life and new adventures in Tokyo, land of the cute.... and is leaving mid-June 2010 - and counting!
There seems to be a new look in town: trousers are being worn with one leg down and the other rolled up.

British female who wishes she wasn't moving further and further away from 35. After nearly six years in an alternative universe (ie Tokyo) the real world started screaming at me to come back. And so I ended up in a surreal world in Libya, Qatar and finally now in the Emirates. For now. I drink lots of coffee, teach English and travel when I can... Join me.

it's a pretty old trend. it does come from urban culture - US urban culture. The idea was either to show that you are or are not carrying a gun strapped to your ankle.

you think that's where the Japanese got it from? it's not just another odd fashion thing here?
further investigation needed I think.

Yeah - the Japanese seem to be the first to pick up American hip-hop trends.

phoenix - i see breakdancers all over tokyo.
maybe they're not as 'cutting edge' as people think and DO pick up on trends a lot lot later.
i also see lots of the trousers-being-worn-a-mile-under-the-top-of-the-boxers look, which has been bashing around the UK, sadly, for far far too long.

Chotto matte, the Masonic Lodge do the same thing. Are we calling them trendsetters too?

after some brief market research, amongst students, which shall continue it seems it's been around in tokyo for a couple of years and is copied from the states.
like the marijuana t-shirt thing, i think any meaning bypasses the fashionness of it!
