They’re either ganguro or yamanba (I don’t know the difference between the two styles anymore). Both are fashion movements from Harajuku designed to publicly flout the traditional Japanese standards of beauty: pale skin, dark hair and clean refined simplicity. At least that’s how I understand it. I know ganguro started sometime in the 1990s and yamanba came along later.
Hibiscus: I wasn’t sure what was going on here either, so I checked urbandictionary.com. According to that, yamanbas are simply ganguros who go overboard. I guess the difference is subjective.
Ganguro, which means ‘black face’, or ‘blackened face’ was a trend among some young women in Japan—around 1998 to 2000 or so, These are the more extreme ones. Hardly anybody dresses like that any more here in Japan.
Muppet cosplay?
They are yamanbas.
jap girls who like to dress-up as mountain witches

Look more like witch doctors.

They wanted to see which one would look more like a jungle cat. Neither won that competition, then the felines got pissed and killed them.

I thought theatrical make-up of “black face” was considered racist, not fashionable.
Its called ganguro
willy wonka wants his ummpa lummpas hostess to get back to fucking work
the ganguro style is horrid
It is just the polar opposite of goth. Tan skin and bright colors to counter the pale skin and black clothing.
