Thank you, this video was very good. ^_^

[@cakeswithfaces]

Thanks so much! It takes ages to edit my videos so it's great to know you enjoyed it! :-)

[@WuggiesSheenchen]

I thought so because of the halloween stuff in there. xD You show so many shops there and so much cute stuff and explained so good this thing with the tourist problem. That was very nice. ^_^ I hope i can see als these shops in my vacation soon. :3 Ah - and you have adorable things in your own "shop" too. ^___^

[@cakeswithfaces]

Thank you, so happy you like my designs! :-) You'll love it, have an amazing time on your trip!

[@WuggiesSheenchen]

Thank you. ^_^ I know i will love everything there. :3

[@mariichan333]

I really want to go to Harajuku - it's a shame people only go there to take pictures. It looked amazing there - so many things to choose from. I think if I went there I'd be broke because of all the nice things and my friends would encourage more than discourage -- I'm always in trouble when I shop with friends hhaha are you going to do a haul video?? That would be really cool :) keep up the awesome work!!

[@cakeswithfaces]

I find clothes on the high street so boring, so Harajuku's the only place I really enjoy shopping! Yes, I have a haul coming up! And some more videos about Harajuku too! :-)

[@mariichan333]

Cakes with Faces it depends on the clothes, I like bonmarche and charity shops - great places to find awesome pieces. That's great that you've found a place you enjoy to shop - looks like you had so much fun in Harajuku !! Can't wait to see your upcoming videos :)

[@cattenshi4213]

Amazing. I just saw about 10 items to buy (mostly with cats) in about 3 mins. of video!

[@cakeswithfaces]

Hehe, you really need to save up when you go to Harajuku!! It's where I do pretty much all my clothes shopping :-)

[@ohnozozo]

I'd LOVE to go shopping in Harajuku, sadly my bank account would not allow it! Maybe one day!!

[@cakeswithfaces]

Haha, there aren't many clothes I want to buy in the shops in the UK, so I save up and splurge in Harajuku! It's actually not as expensive as you might think, although it does depend where you shop! :-)

[@Kakibot]

I love B-Side label! The stickers are such good quality and the people working at their shops were really friendly too! Best souvenirs!

[@cakeswithfaces]

Yes! So glad I found their shop! It's exactly the design style I love. They gave us a free extra sticker because we bought so many :-)

[@nicolewaithera1814]

Your smile is so contagious!

[@cakeswithfaces]

Aww thank you! You will love it in Japan I'm sure! :-)

[@weirdafboop]

Omg free! I love that anime😍😍😍

[@weirdafboop]

Awww theirs so many kawaii clothes that i want but i live in uk so I don't think theirs shops with that kind of clothing here ☹️👎

[@cakeswithfaces]

I know!! :-( Harajuku's the only place I really enjoy shopping! But in the UK, Cutesy Kink now stock clothes from ACDC Rag, my fav shop on Takeshita Street, and you can get Listen Flavor from Tofu Cute :-)

[@Ock_Small]

I really enjoyed this vlog! I want to visit Japan so badly! If I get to go I will definitely visit Harajuku and definitely buy things!!!

[@cakeswithfaces]

Thanks! It's the best place to go shopping, you'll love it!

Ah you'd love it so much! Such a fun & colourful shop!

I collect stickers too. :) What kind of stickers do you currently have?

[@sidneylock5667]

I just came back from Japn last month and now, I can't wait to go back again next year!

[@cakeswithfaces]

I know the feeling! There are always more things you want to see. I've found that every time I go, I discover more and feel less nervous about going into places and trying new things!

[@janaywhite4567]

I want to buy everything 😍😂. I cant wait to have money saved up to go.

[@cakeswithfaces]

You'll love it!! :-D

[@premingergang1099]

Hooray! A brand-new Harajuku vlog! I have watched literally every single Harajuku vlog on youtube, including ones in polish Q_Q.

[@premingergang1099]

I'm obsessed, someone trade me my young soul for a little apartment in Tokyo.

[@premingergang1099]

My eyes are filled with happy tears, my heart is pounding and I feel weightless, is this love? Harajuku love? How I would love to walk around the corner and suddenly see Takeshita dori spread out in front of me.

[@cakeswithfaces]

Glad you enjoyed it! There's more on the way from Harajuku - I filmed so much it wouldn't all fit into just one video X-D Wish I could go there whenever at the weekends!

[@premingergang1099]

I can't wait! :D

Can you tell me where you got the background music? I'd love to listen to it when I drive, such an upbeat song for summer! :3 I love your videos, can't wait to shop in Tokyo one day, hopefully with a large budget!

[@cakeswithfaces]

I love how cute and happy the background music sounds too! I made the track using Jukedeck - it's free so if you'd like the mp3 email me amy @ cakeswithfaces.co.uk :-) I hope you can make it to Tokyo one day - I'm sure you'll love it!

I love that sandwich, too.

[@cakeswithfaces]

Ah fruit sandwiches are the best! I love finding all the different ones!

[@MrJuulia01]

9:36 Thats heaven, cus decora harajuku style.

[@GabrielleLily]

Juulia Saarinen ahhhhhh

[@valentinekill]

As someone who dresses in j-fashion (full on decora mostly) the harajuku fashion girls who don't go anymore bc they r swarmed by tourists and always taken photos of is a very true thing and relatable LOL... 😭😭 It isn't dead, but esp w the increase of social media and YT stuff, people taking pictures without asking and videos of u and ur friends unaware and just exisitng can be very stressfull and agitating. Ofc, we r dressed crazy but photos and everything can be very overwhelming and frustrating! Seeing ur video makes me beyond hyped 2 go 2 Harajuku soon!! And for Bunka school hopefully too!!! 🥳 U WENT THRU SM ICONIC STORES like Yosuke shoes!!??!?! AND CLOSET CHILD IRL??!?? VW!!? AND LIZ LISA... I was in SHOCKKK I HAD NO IDEA CD AND LIZ LISA STILL HAD STORES IRLLL ‼‼👹👹👹👹💖💖💖💖

[@cakeswithfaces]

Oh I love decora, it's my fav of the j-fashion styles because it's the most fun & colourful! You're right, it's not dead - things have just evolved over time. People were taking photos of me in Harajuku which was super strange as I'm also a tourist (!) and I don't even dress up much, just colourful casual wear. Hopefully many of these stores will still be open when you can go, and I'm sure there'll be some new ones too! Going to Bunka would be amazing!!

[@destroyerc]

Just found your channel! 💖

[@cakeswithfaces]

Hello, nice to meet you! :-) Hope you enjoy my other videos (some more videos from Harajuku coming up too!)

[@imeldatobing8898]

Hope someday will visit japan. Nice hair you have.

[@cakeswithfaces]

Thanks! Hope you can make it there one day, I'm sure you'll love it! :-)

[@imeldatobing8898]

Yes. I love japan.

[@JohnandMalie]

Did you get to try those Halloween fries? they look so interesting! love Japan!

[@cakeswithfaces]

No, I didn't try them - they definitely sound "interesting"...! :-) There was a cafe serving crisps with ice cream and chocolate sauce too!

[@hudsonball4702]

I want that "I AM SUPER VEGETA" Shirt so badly! Does it come in manly Vegeta pink?

[@jrusselison]

The Japanese must have a very good domestic and international fashion market :)

[@cakeswithfaces]

I've noticed a lot of trends seem to become popular in Japan before coming over to the west (both fashion and design trends). There seems to be a lot more originality in the shops over there.

[@halfdutchgirlabroad6995]

What would the best time/day to go? I'm going in May and im a big lover of Japanese fashion and i know I'll buy alot💙💙💙🛍🛍

[@cakeswithfaces]

May will be a great time for your trip, the weather will be lovely in Japan then! This year the start of May (up until the 7th), is Golden Week, which is a big holiday in Japan so touristy areas will be busy during that time. As for Harajuku, avoid the weekend, especially Sunday, it'll be packed. During the week is much better if you want to actually look around the shops and buy things! Remember to explore the side streets of Takeshita Street, and the backstreets at the end so you don't miss anything. Have a fantastic trip! :-D

[@eugeniarocha25]

Hello! Your video couldn't be any better! I love it, you show so many cute shops! I was just wondering (if you still remember it would be amazing) what the shop where the big Totoro and the Neko Atsume goodies was called? If you don't remember, do you think I would be able to find it easily in the Takeshita street?

[@cakeswithfaces]

time lady Thank you!! Not sure if the name but it's on Takeshita Street, on the right hand side if you're walking from the station. There were small anime bits & pieces downstairs but the all the best stuff was upstairs! Remember to explore everywhere because in Tokyo so many places are up small staircases or in basements! More Harajuku videos on the way :-)

[@eugeniarocha25]

Cakes with Faces Thank you for replying! I just showed this video to my family and they were fascinated! ♡

[@frogthetraveller2590]

Oh my! All that cat and whale clothes! Sooo cute! But could you please tell what is the average price for example for a shirt? Love your videos! They are so interesting and informative!

[@cakeswithfaces]

So much cutenessss!!!

[@frogthetraveller2590]

Cakes with Faces , thanks for such a quick response! Looking forward for more videos!

[@towada1066]

errrr,... I'm not into buying things but I definitely cherish Meiji Shrine, at least once a year I pray there ... (there and Yasukuni Shrine which is a little, um, complicated)

[@kasumikat]

i think the only reason why i wouldnt buy clothes there is because they most likely dont do plus size there (i can just about find some stuff in my plus size here in the UK), though i would pick up some accessories

[@cakeswithfaces]

It is unfortunate for us that the sizes are so small in Japan, and a lot of the clothes are one size. But yes you'll definitely be able to get lots of really cute accessories, bags, hats, jewellery etc!

[@NeverAgain.BeNiceToPeople.]

I love the music! You made the music?

[@cakeswithfaces]

Me too! I didn't make it, but if you like this style, Phil's in a ska band called Those Fine Strangers: open.spotify.com/artist/4whz0LHNgqlosjm4ytscsF

[@bragaep]

Hi, Amy! What japanese products you use for your beautiful and colored hair? And what's your skincare routine? I'll traveling to Japan in june and I'm searching for the best products. Thank you, greetings from Brazil. :)

[@cakeswithfaces]

Hi Emilia! I use Directions hair dye and Stargazer - I made a video about them a while back! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5uYZpuEqN6piKs To get really bright colour you need to bleach your hair first - but be careful as it can dry your hair out. For skincare, I don't use anything special - I don't have much of a clue about beauty products, sorry!! :-) Not my specialist subject - maybe try channels like Kim Dao or Beckii, they know lots about beauty and skincare!

[@bragaep]

Love your hair! Thank you for your tips! :)

[@cakeswithfaces]

Thank you! All I know is there's an Etude House store in Harajuku which has lots of cute things!!

[@jacquelineroberts1133]

Did they have anything in red? Red is my favorite color.

[@cakeswithfaces]

I'm sure you'd be able to find something! :-)

[@yogadgsix]

All the thing there is made in japan right? Include small thing like stickers?

[@cakeswithfaces]

It depends on the shop and where they get their stock from.

[@mortaeus7274]

Maybe a bit of a random question - but what sizes of clothing can you find in the kinds of stores you were showing in this video? I'm an Aus/UK 10 but I would really love to shop for all these cute and beautiful clothes in Japan. I am just scared I am too big for them. Thanks!

[@cakeswithfaces]

I'm UK size 10 too so you should have no problems - everything will fit! "Free size" (one size) is very common, and sizes are smaller than western sizes - Phil found he needed a size up from what he'd normally pick. I have one or two items (a fitted dress, and a shorts-dungarees set) that I wouldn't fit into if I was an inch bigger, but you should be fine with the majority of items. I've been with friends who are a larger size and they've been able to buy clothes too. :-)

[@kimtaehyung-jb8fj]

heyy can i ask where that store is full of anime stuff and gudetama? thanks!

[@cakeswithfaces]

It's on Takeshita Street, on the right if you're coming from the station. It looks like an underwear shop but there's a staircase at the back up to the cute merch! There's a newer tour of Harajuku on my channel that shows the front :-)

[@meylinguzman3235]

Do you know any second hand shops in Tokyo for kimono or yukatas?

[@cakeswithfaces]

Chicago in Harajuku has lots of nice colours :-) www.chicago.co.jp/kimono.html

[@kittxkarnage]

where do you find sexpot revenge in harajuku, i was having a terrible time trying to find last time!!)):

[@cakeswithfaces]

Ah it can be so hard to find places sometimes can't it! It's on one of the little side streets off the main Takeshita Street - on the right hand side if you're coming from the station.

[@biancadekeyzer7966]

where did you find all of those gudetama things?

[@cakeswithfaces]

It was a shop on Takeshita Street - if you're coming from the station it's on the right-hand side, in the first half of the street. Same shop as the giant Totoro! All the Gudetama stuff was upstairs. You can also find lots of cute things in Tokyo Station, if you follow signs to Character Street (First Avenue). :-)

[@Lily-fq9ry]

Where did u get the katsu sandwich?

[@cakeswithfaces]

They have them at convenience stores! Once we got a fancy one at the station that was ¥¥¥.

[@TiamatStorm21]

I have looked online but i dont really understand, where exactly IN Harajuku is Laforet?

[@cakeswithfaces]

Tiamat Storm Laforet is a department store, not far from Takeshita Street (the main shopping street in Harajuku). If you search on Google Maps for "Laforet Harajuku" you'll find it. You can walk there easily from Harajuku Station.

[@TiamatStorm21]

Cakes with Faces thank you T^T

[@jacquelineroberts1133]

I can be both social and antisocial. I can either go shopping in big crowds or be just by myself, I don't really care.

[@cakeswithfaces]

There'll definitely be crowds in Harajuku!!! Avoid the weekends for sure if you want to actually look at things in the shops!

[@andyway2101]

was this filmed around Halloween?

[@cakeswithfaces]

Yes! All the Halloween displays were out, and Halloween sweets :-)

[@hannahw631]

omg at 6:09 "something" is missing the"N"

You see so many funny/unusual uses of english and grammar/spelling that's off! It is pretty funny - although I'm sure if I tried to write Japanese it'd be far worse!! :-)
