It may be only fashion cosplay, but this ‘Lolita’ transformation in the painfully-trendy Harajuku district of Tokyo still brings a smirk to my face when I view this video…
This GIF of manic-looking ‘Loose Characters’—Yuru-Chara invading Tokyo were sent in to us by the 3Yen correspondent, MARKed TRAIL.
With some digging around, I discovered that the very animated GIF was from the “KAWAii!! MATSURi“—literally, the Cuteness Festival—held last April 20 and 21 (The Japan Times / 2013Apr30).
Of course all of this makes complete Japanese sense since everything here needs a cute Yuru-Chara, that is a yurui-character (lit. loose character)—the mascots that populate Japan the land of HAPPY (3Yen / 2010-10-20).

One of the great Mysteries of Japan is “O-kyaku—Japanese “O” Legs (3Yen / 2006-02-06)“—the odd pigeon-toed stance that Japanese women take whenever they are out of the house. Now there’s news of the prehistoric “missing link” to this amusing Japanese affectation.
Australopithecus sediba walked upright, but with an unusual shuffling, 'hyper-pronated' gait all its own. The species rolled the outside of its feet with each step, causing excessive strain on the spine (see right).
Scientists Unveil Human Forerunner Australopithecus Sediba
– WSJ.com
Lee Berger of the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg South Africa had a major press conference to announce the official naming of a new human-like species, Australopithecus sediba. Using 3-D modeling of the researchers show a new “ape-like human with pigeon toes” that walked with its feet and knees rotated inward…just like Japanese girls, which the 3Yen has reported on several times before such as:
—Tokyo’s pigeon-toed goth fashion show(3Yen / 2008-08-31)
—Japanese “O” Legs(3Yen / 2006-02-06)
—Japan’s Princess Pigeon Toes suffering anxiety attacks (3Yen / 2010-06-10)
SO, WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?
