Utsunomiya kigurumin

While strolling through Utsunomiya Station with the charming and delightful Mrs. JP today, we spotted a pair of real live kigurumin (girls who wear a type of pajama-suit that resembles an animal and sometimes cartoon characters) strolling along off in the distance.

Much to the dismay of Mrs. JP, I was off in a flash, digging my trusty EXILIM digital camera out of my pocket as I trotted through the station. I introduced myself to the girls and they kindly agreed to pose especially for you, dear JAPUNDIT readers.

Ok this makes it official for me.
Japan is weird. I can handle the
Harujuku kids but this is too much
for me.

David Weber Said:

Excellent catch, JP, in finding the kigurumin in their natural element!

Joe Said:

Haha, I hope Mrs. JP wasn’t too embarrassed. Japan is a really unique place, to be sure.

Mike its Harajuku – and the biggest buzz is when your standing on the platform to hear..these dulcet tones of “Har-raa-joo-kooooo!”

Now go to this site, wiggle around the Yamanote circle and you’ll get the “at-Moose-fear”..perfectly.

I never claimed to be a good speller. LOL

Earl Grey Said:

remora is very strict when it comes to the typos of others.

Not that talented in lining words up into coherent sentences, but a real whiz when it gets down to the individual letter level.

MikeDane Said:

Earl, don’t come in and start some crap.
It was not a typo. I made a mistake and
Remora corrected me, and I took it in good
cheer.
We are a group united by an interest in
Japan. We should all try to get along a
little better.

These girls are high school kids, right? And they probably don’t have jobs because few schools allow their students to have part-time jobs… so they get their pocket money from their parents… and they buy these “clothes”… and their parents STILL give them pocket money???
