Bold outfits in vivid colors! Here are some Harajuku-style ideas.
When you think of Harajuku style, it always brings a colorful image to mind, doesn’t it? This time, let’s customize a T-shirt and a petticoat to create a Harajuku-inspired outfit.
In the video, they’re decorating with lace, patches, flower pieces, and rhinestones.
Just by combining simple T-shirts with these parts, you can create a one-of-a-kind outfit! Give it a try and incorporate it into your look.
uniform
These days, it seems people are making class T-shirts in all sorts of designs, and the ones that mimic sports team uniforms are especially popular! You even see that uniform-style design on T-shirts sold at music festivals and as artist merch.
Wearing a uniform-inspired T-shirt when performing on stage could help create a sense of unity, don’t you think? Also, for students in sports clubs, wearing the practice gear they usually train in, or even the uniforms used in official school matches, would make for great memories!
Hip-hop style
If you admire HIPHOP dance—with its stylish moves and big, dynamic motions set to heavy beats—the first step is choosing the right outfit.
Opting for oversized, loose-fitting clothing can add more power to your dance.
It’s also cool to intentionally stand out from the group with a different outfit, or to show your individuality through accessories like hats and sneakers.
Because HIPHOP dance is free and not bound by strict rules, your outfit doesn’t need to be rigid either—why not choose freely and have fun with it?

A unique concept with a nostalgic vibe! Here are some ideas inspired by Heisei-era gals.
When you think of Heisei gals, mini skirts, loose socks, tanned skin, and bold makeup come to mind.
This time, let’s try wearing a Heisei gal outfit in a school-uniform style.
It would be perfect for performances using Para Para or revived tracks, don’t you think? For the hairstyle, go for big, voluminous hair, and long fake nails are a great addition too.
Try expressing your own take on the Heisei gal style.
