![How Foreigners View Japanese Street Fashion and Culture [2020] | with LDN2HK](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5fPsM1u-oVI/mqdefault.jpg)
In Eastern culture (Korea, Japan, etc) fashion is considered a lifestyle. It isn't about wearing bogos and ripped acid washed skinny jeans every single day, as well as flexing jewellery. It's more of creating new styles from an existing style, curating new forms, either borrowed from another culture or not.
In our culture, fashion is more of personal preference, not a status to show how rich you are, what kind of job that person is currently in, etc.
I dont believe that's entirely true. They definitely have theit and whoring I believe Korea and China may have more of that than japan tho. Chinese immigrants with money where stuff that almost exclusively has logos on it
facts , I live in Japan .. its not like they`re just wearing the clothes , they`re wearing energy
@@johnniefihaki2627 True
As it should be
nah i mean those people flashing their cars and jewels ect are def showing off theyre better than you
Love this format! Would like to see you explore Japanese thrift shops and maybe interviews with local streetwear heads in japan.
Will do!
Will second this
Yes, please more of thrift shops
Hopefully
THE CASUAL could you please answer ? The question was who is the guy on the thumbnail?
this channel is head and shoulders above any other channel in terms of detailing fashion culture. I cant get enough of these damn videos! Keep it up
I do Believe that Japanese Street Culture is actually a bog Inspiration for the Western Street faishion. I think is wrong to say that the western Culture is the insperation.
Personally i do believe, that Japanese Fashion is ahead of our Western Style.
Lk_Wolf It really looks like the way it should’ve been, but then people here got way too caught up with the celebrities, following them round & square
how people dress is a watered down version of celebrities and it's sad
Personally I feel that it's sort of cycle or circle of uh fashion. Japanese get inspired by the West, go hard and evolve it, then the West gets inspired by Japan.🤔
To understand Japanese fashion is to accept the fact that most of the contemporary stuff IS in fact inspired by the West and Japanese will often say that. Ask a young Japanese male what style he likes and he'll often say "American Casual".
It may be ahead in your eyes because its more detailed and deliberate but to completely ignore the Western impact would be disingenuous. For example BEAMS, the largest select shop in Japan, started completely as a homage to California west coast fashion.
Japanese street style is heavily influence by the street style in the States. NY, LA etc... That’s a fact.
Great video. The production on the channel is always improving. And adding credits was a nice touch.

Don’t ask why I thought this was relevant, I don’t even know why I put this here.
Reggie, i think japanese fashion has given back tons to the culture.
The thing I love about the japanese,their fits always look good,even their old people knows how to dress,and they don't even need to wear big brands to do it too,unlike here kids just put on whatever expensive or hyped up shit they got without even looking if the colors blend well.
Omg I know right!
This episode was truly something else! Massive props to all the production that goes into this- brings me back to when I was in Shibuya 💌
Wow. LOVE the new direction of the channel! It was so dope to hear that you wanted to take the focus away from the hypebeasts and straight into the culture behind it all, and this delivered. Keep it up Reggie + Team CASUAL!
I really love this documentary-esque cinematography!
Excited for this new path for The Casual!
Keep it up!
Great production! Quality work yo! Keep it up. Best channel on CZcams for street culture/fashion.😎👍
Always love your content outside the studio. It really "takes you there" and much more immersive when you speak about aspects of Japan. Great production as well! You inspire me to start my own channel.
Love the filter you guys used for this episode’s video Reggie! The cinematic feel is 🔥
I love the way he explained about Japanese street culture. He nailed it. I am a Japanese and I also have a similar view. Plus it is impressive that the footage is really the Shibuya now… I mean this is Shibuya this week literally 😂
Where is the hip hop in Japan? I'm here and make beats, put me on man!
@@SnyderMusikMost of them are in Shibuya or Shimokitazawa.
If you go to Jazzy sport record store, you might get a good sense of what's going on.
@@dillaaaaa I'll check them out today. Any other places you would recommend? Is there a open mic place for local artists? Thanks for your response by the way! I am just really trying to show my beats off or see some local talent since I'll be here for a few years. Dilla was one of my influences as well. R.i.P
@@SnyderMusik I left Tokyo just before Covid and because of this situation, I am not too sure what is going on. Google probably knows better. Sorry 😩 Redbull does some good events and seminar before Covid but I don't see much going on with them now.
Great presentation, awesome cinematography, and a solid argument for why Japanese streetwear culture is the way it is today. Really liked how you explained the primacy of discovery and spontaneity in the way Western fashion is being adopted in Japan. One of your best posts yet. Kudos, bro.
man, your content is great, seriously. keep it up! 🔥
This was awesome!! I really enjoyed it!! Thanks for the cool informative vid! I really like how you mention the appreciation of culture!
I’m loving the new approach to the video style and content.
I speculate this format will help the channel to blow up. It was really insightful information. Looking forward for more content, and the GURLZ.
Ohh my…… God bless them sweet, sweeeet footage and music. Great work! 🙏
It's just so amazing to see how much the channel has evolved
Format, Passing, editing, all of it. You guys said you would do new things and then just went on with it
That's why this is my favorite channel. Quality content and now with a even cooler format
The video was really awesome
Loving this walking and talking style video! Great montages of the city life too!
I would say thank you for bringing such great content to CZcams and above the "scene". your perspective on subjects you discuss or show are always so well done. I am looking forward to seeing maybe more in depth of the Japanese view on the culture or the amount of western influence.
thanks
Favourite episode yet! Loved this format
I've subbed to you because I saw that you look fashion with a purpose not just consumerism and hype, this new channel direction is the perfect way to change focuses and enrich the fashion game as a whole. Keep the great ideas coming
amazing content and very insightful for my brand thank you so much for the gems
AMAZING content as always!
The respect you have for style and culture is admirable. I hope to take a tour of the city with you when I visit. Thank you sir.
Loved this episode Reggie. Keep it up
didn't expect to find you here!
Respect in every way Jordan. We'll hold it down here in Japan. Keep doing work!
Damn you guys really leveled up in terms of content and quality editing!
Man your video's are great. Thanks for sharing!! :)
great composition and content. you're really hyping up japan for my visit in a few weeks!!!
Still waiting on a beams breakdown video lol. Would be good for people to hear about the effect they had on Japanese fashion for the past 40 years.
We got you✊
Going to Japan next year, and this video gets me hyped up.
Liked this style of video. Seems very well edited. Kudos
Hey Reggie, this video was quality. Your channel is quickly becoming my favorite. Keep it up man!
REGGIE ! Love the new direction for these videos. So many blogs love to type up a storm about Japan for articles but who is really out here/there , literally. Super cool dope content bro i love how the aesthetic of this video ! Being the focal point while everyone else is doing their own thing. Super happy to see what else is comin wit this
Enjoying the content!
this casual conversation style format is definitely a step forward in the direction for the channel. it feels like a mixture between a vlog and a documentary
That was such an interesting point you made about how we receive and experience our "western" cultures in real time, while it's only until it's brought to global relevance that the Japanese see it! Never thought of that. Loved the topic, would love to see this further explored in a longer video, or even a podcast episode.
Korea and Japan is a perfect place for people in love with fashion.
Just the working culture there is fck up :D
Depends what type of fashion you want if it’s high fashion I would recommend Italy or Spain but if it’s street fashion I would recommend Korea and japan
Love the new style Reggie, keep it up
INTERVIEW PEOPLE/OTHER EXPERTS!!!
We love hearing your perspective! But we wanna hear the culture from the STREETS ! Keep the grind Reggie 🙏🏽🙌🏽
I'm going for my first time in February. I am way too excited!
I'd go further than saying it's an amalgamation. I would call it intertextuality. It's a conversation between different cultures and individuals through style. Conscious referencing with an editorial eye.
Solid film work on this...like the new direction
Dope video bro!!!
Keep the vlog style vids coming, loved this one.
What a great video 😊😊
Love the lo-fi aesthetic vibe of the bg music
Loveeee thisssss
I backpacked solo in 2013 june, july, August & first time backpacking camping and occasionally using couchsurfing another country, had the 2week JR rail pass and loved everything best experience of my life.
I wish to move back there.
It was the first time i felt i belonged somewhere any experience was just so good i learned so much.
Also experienced a lot of reverse culture shock.....😕went to sweden, netherlands, and iceland year after with more reverse culture shock...
Im so jealous i want to move to Japan so bad!
This is awesome i love it💕
Yo I dig this new direction the channel is moving in. I hope at some point to see you focus on some different subcultures, like what punk is like in japan.
HA! SO dope. Thank you.
This is really cool.
Much Respect 💯!
fuckin sick video. been watching from the beginning. love this.
Ready for the journey
Love it love it
Damn I love this format! Great visuals. I'd love to see more of that in the future.
Idk if it just me or people too but when i saw people with out mask my heart was like oh no and i was like something is missing
The production quality of this video thooooooo!
God I want to visit Japan one day. Tokyo, especially. Such a massive city and so many different subcultures in that area.
Most amazing place ever. Been coming here for 20 years now.
It’s been a minute, missed y’all
Dope🔥🔥🔥
Damn...this video was beautiful
please more like this
I really, really really really, liked this whole video. Dam good content, and the way it was all given to us out here, living it casual... was #dopeasfuck
I love Tokyo Japan 🇯🇵 one of my favorite places
buen video
Dope content broe but wait...your music 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 sick ass lounge vibes. What's name of the last song you played?
nice
Yes sir, Di gal dem 😍.
Agree with the whole reimagining of fashion thing. United arrows definitely suprised me. There is a strong sense of "was this piece of clothing just copied and refurbished" when I shopped their but I think there is also a strong sense of Japan, you can only get their. On my trip their last month someone said to me that Japan is probably made of 90% A type personality humans and that element comes through in their clothes while not being the only thing ...
Good video
From Argentina
Damn reggie u guys are at 113k now! wow thats crazy..
Killing it Reggie! Needs more G U R L S tho 😂
Japan 😭😭❤❤
Who's the guy on the thumbnail? Great hairstyle
GJ 33 i’m curious too, looks dope
Please could you answer?
@@arminheide9145 Just a friend from a shop called Style and Play Great Yard
Real quick, how do I find the style of music you guys use in the intros for "THE CASUAL" and shit
can u make a WTH video on Wtaps? one of my fav japanese brands that i think has an interesting backstory and needs more rep in the states
Always gotta follow the Trends in Shibuya. #TWEWY
what slomo camera do you guys use?
Saw the thumbnail and thought that we were finally getting the whoisjacov X the casual crossover
I didn't know where to contact, so here I am. I heard on a previous video Nike took off ACG line up? So is it still there or gone gone long?
I’d say it’s perfectly fine to acknowledge that cosmopolitan/stylish Japanese absorb and remix influences from all over - especially American - and turn it to 10. Hip hop, Chicano, skate, American casual/business casual/normcore/traditional, even wearing American college sweatshirts. A lot of American people also love Japanese culture :)
please make a playlist of the songs you're using. Please.
Love this style vid! Makes me want to be in Japan, seems like a way more fashion focused place opposed to the usa, here it seems non genuine, or with less love imo.
I am not sure, so correct me if i'm wrong: I thought you said in earlier vids that Japanese street culture, and fashion in specific, is most of the times avant-garde compared to Western/US culture? That a lot of new fashion comes from small Japanese brands. That new styles are then incorporated by lets say Off-White.
We need a podcast Reggie!
What’s the track please...
CONGRAT NEPHEW. I LOVE IT
#UNCLERICKY
The song?
the female voice sounds like miso
feel something- snake city
What sources do you guys use to see more Japanese streetwear or fashion in general? Also where could I get a noragi or a open cardigan without buttons/ shawl that Japanese men wear lol
Check out Aesthetic Homage. Pretty decently priced. The real high end stuff from Japan can get quite pricey.
They don’t need to “borrow” nothing.. they, like all other countries in the world, are influenced in many different ways.. it can range from specific designers which will have their own “vision” & “ inspiration”to anything else that is out there (art, politics, etc) ..
6:37 is that a takeaway t-shirt shop?
Japanese street culture is fucking fire 🔥 I don't know how people can bash it
Song?
yall know what the intro track is?
THA GIRRRRLS. love this format btw.
