Tokyo Goes Gaga
By Adrian Bailon
Last weekend, Lady Gaga arrived in Tokyo to perform in two sold-out concerts in nearby Yokohama Arena. Lady Gaga is, of course, very well known not just for her pop tunes, but for her outrageous sense of style. Likewise, the younger generation of Tokyo residents - especially in the Shibuya and Harajuku districts - are recognized around the world for their daring and sometimes outright bizarre fashion sense.
Needless to say, Japanese Lady Gaga fans came out in full force and dressed to impress for both nights of shows in Yokohama. Particularly interesting was how, despite the obvious references to Lady Gaga's more famous past outfits, there were still many fans who fused Gaga's style with Japanese subculture fashions -- including Lolita Gaga, Mori-Girl Gaga, Gyaru Gaga.
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure Tokyo is quite possibly the only city in the world where Lady Gaga fans can appear more larger-than-life than Lady Gaga herself. Whether you think it's fashionable or just plain insane, Tokyo fans deserve props for one-upping Gaga while representing their own styles.
Check out more pictures of fans at the Tokyo Lady Gaga concert here and here.

Agreed! They just take Lady Gaga fashion to the next level. I'm blown away by the creativity on a less-than-couture budget.
I just finished going through the pictures, it's just fantastic! I love Tokyo Fashion! Lady Gaga is no original next to these girls- well in terms of fashion :).
Fantastic post, thank you for this! Lady Gaga is the finest.
