That made me laugh which is nice because I'm sick right now. I knew what you meant, no worries.

[@onedaintyangel]

as someone who’s slowly becoming a gyaru im so thankful for this. even tho i can’t dress like it yet

[@homestuckfan670]

Me too :')

[@luka06137]

same!

[@omgnoitwmax]

​@@chiaki1136I do have some gyaru like clothes of But when I'm older I'm Buying everythingg lmao

[@beautifullEternal]

Sisties. A frequently discussed sub-genre, in koakuma ageha, is OL-kei. Or, office lady style. A lot of the more adult and ane gyaru styles could work conservatively.

REALL

[@fruitshatemae3041]

As a black girl gyaru always spoke to me and I’ve been trying to get into it. Being taught to speak soft and know my place is an experience with almost every ig irl but it was more prevalent for me as a black girl. Because the moment I was too loud I was considered aggressive or masculine where non blk girls would be called feisty or passionate. Not only that but colorism and racism made me try to be lighter and was using foundation and powders to look fair and not going in the sun to be pale. Also shaming for having a “developed” body after puberty made me afraid to wear what I wanted and the culture has really help me find my confidence and know fashion doesn’t mean promiscuous. Gyaru has been a way for me to accept my skin my big and somewhat dramatic personality and my love for fashion.

[@janyavinson5048]

thank you so much as gyaru in training/baby gyaru this has helped me a lot, i’ve done research but only on the sub cultures of gyaru & that has made me ignorant. i felt like i was missing a huge piece because as a westerner i hear that gyaru is more than just the clothes & it is a feminist movement but it never got explained more than that. i really appreciate the history lesson & am now more fascinated w/ it thank you again !

[@jojoooow4821]

my mom used to be a gyaru and she absolutely loved this video of you!! Please make more gyaru content! (≧▽≦)

[@maggiem6209]

I have a lot of love for the gyaru movement and attitude. And as a punk-goth, I see a lot of similarities in the attitude. We may look different, but I see gyarus and goths as sisters! Let's have a beer!

[@KxmpleteKxllapse]

It’s sad how the standards still are around (pale skin, submissive, etc) but honestly it’s interesting to me how with American standards it’s to look like ur grown at such a young age and that got me into liking the cutesy standards style :/ cuz i felt like I couldn’t express myself like that but also don’t want to seem like i’m **not tryin to be a baby like how some ppl try to act like

[@umm3766]

so you wanna contribute to the standard that forces to young girls to act like infants for men?

[@KxmpleteKxllapse]

@@umm3766 That’s not what i’m saying. It was worded wrong. I’m just saying I like the cutesy style. Not in a way that ppl do for fetishization

[@KxmpleteKxllapse]

@@umm3766 there was a typo when I said “im tryin to be a baby” I meant I’m NOT tryin to be a baby. Let me edit that I just noticed it

[@aoki556]

I think you were right in the first place, now it says I DONT want to seem like I’m NOT trying to be a baby that person just clearly wanted to jump on your words without reading properly

[@KxmpleteKxllapse]

@@aoki556 Oh okay thank u so much for understanding where I was coming from (T . T)

[@setuser777]

Ive recently been trying to get into gyaru culture/lifestyle, and I felt it was wrong trying to enter this lifestyle without knowing the history. The gyaru attitude makes me feel confident, thank you for the video!

[@chloe4824]

this is so interesting! i didn’t know there was a correlation between hime gyaru and hime lolita in japan. as a lolita myself, ik a lot of lolitas will also wear hime gyaru or himekaji (myself included, when i don’t want to go for a full coord). but i didn’t know hime gyaru was sometimes called hime rori in japan! that’s awesome

[@mariajacobs9742]

This is so amazing!! I'm very interested in the gyaru style and it's history. I would love to one day be able to be apart of Gyaru! I'm going through stuff trying to learn as much as I can. I am currently 13 so I'll wait until I'm older but I'm still going to learn at the moment! I wanna be respectful and learn the history. I don't know if I'll ever have to courage to be Gyaru but I'll always think of it as really awesome!

[@zerufilm2847]

WAKE TF UP EVERYBODY!, ari posted 😻😻

[@chuchu00444]

tysm for this video, in my opinion you're one of the most reliable sources when it comes to gyaru😭

[@loonatheverse]

im so glad i found this vid i keep seeing ppl online saying if i dont do certain stuff im a poser and not gyaru its nice to have a video being clear abt how to be a gal!!

[@no1weezerfan]

I really dislike those faceless TikTok accounts policing others on how to be a "real" gal.

[@CherryGraceyn]

I wanna get into gyaru because it imbraces my skin tone n the style is just sooo mee Ty for this video!!!

[@TatiannaTaylor]

Thank you so much for this wonderful and educational video on Gyaru!! I have been into this fashion scene for YEARS and I finally feel comfortable enough to try it out! I loved learning about the different subcultures and can't wait to try them. I think I will lean more towards the agejo gyaru or hime gyaru since those are styles with my favorite colors.

[@avqu1la]

I felt like i was watching a real history lecture from my history teacher but better

[@Zixjndjdudj]

A lot of people spread misinformation about this topic and it makes me really confused so am glad for this video

[@aygulmemet4201]

Omg I've been following you on TikTok for a while 😭 thank you for this, I hate when people say gyaru and ABG are the same thing when in reality gyarus have a very specific look

[@Pduarte79]

6:32 So similar situation as the Goths and the Emos.

[@coleminer5104]

writing about gyaru for an essay on gender performativity in japan. this condensed summary really helps. thanks!

[@edensgardenasmr]

this was extremely educational :) i love your style, thank you for the phenomenal video!

[@ParadoxRein]

I wanted to make a character who used gyaru fashion and this helped me to understand the fashion! Love the video!! ❤

[@MomokoTuHarumaki]

Your outfit is so cute! It's hard shopping in plus size for gyaru fashion, but I find the outfits so cute!

[@s.g.3030]

Thank you for this very informative Educational video. Knowledge is powerful. I know women who have been offended by seeing young Japanese women dressing this way. not knowing this started as a protest against the traditional beauty standards of Japan. These young women were standing up for themselves and not conforming.

[@SparklyGutz]

I've recently got heavily into Gyaru and it's nice to have info from a good source!

[@randomnerd4944]

Thank you for explaining the history of gyaru. I was wondering if you could maybe make a video about dressing up in gyaru and show stores that sell clothing and accessories that fit the gyaru subculture. Q: Is there a certain rule to follow while dressing up in gyaru?
