The word that most comes to my mind to describe the average twenty year old girl here is 'vapid.' If they have managed to snag a husband, they can stop pretending to be dumb. They are out of the marriage race by age 25 anyway.

yeah, I just don't get it. I was in the Albuquerque! Mall this summer (the only place I could get a replacement charger for my cell phone, so shut it!) and there was a VERY anglo (gai jin?) girl in the same shop that was 21 plus that was dressed in what was apparently a Manga impression of a 14 year old gai jinn dressing in a naieve and flirtatious way. she was even carrying a "hello kitty" kitty. I was.... troubled

Items decorated with 'Hello Kitty' and the Disney characters are targeted here for the 15-25 year female market, rather than the 8-13 year olds as would be in the US. I see far more older women with Mickey Mouse blouses, Hello Kitty handbags, etc., than younger pre-teens. The largest mobil phone provider has the Disney Character phones for young married women...

On the other hand, I did see one Goth girl with a 'Hello Kitty' tattoo... The images just seemed to clash.
It was like Lisbeth Salander meets Heidi!

Hey, after the 25th they're stale. Or at least so believe the gentlemen on this island. Personally, I think they are just getting ready to blossom when they hit 30!

At least she wasn't a "kogal", which is sort of like a female Guido.

I am actually very interested in Japanese culture and language, and there is actually alot of great academic material out there about the cultural obsession with adolescent girl and how it has influenced the overall art and entertainment of the country. Its on a whole different level of girls acting a certain way in a place like the US where they are just emulating what they see on TV.
The gothic lolita is actually getting more popular in the American subculture of video games as well. They are starting to port more and more of the gothic lolita bullet-hell games from Japan into America.

ETA to stay on topic, my current favorite youtube vid of the moment:

I enjoy Japanese culture. I do not enjoy anything spun off of manga, comics, hello kitty and so on. just as I do not enjoy modern art, rap, or many US comics

OK. I've had it! Nobody is talking about the Japanese secret, and I might as well spill the beans. It's not all cute Japanese girls and Japanese girlie cartoons.

WATCH AND BE HORRIFIED!
