    So many colorful characters. I love all photos. It's almost like some kind of street art :-)

    I agree, it's almost like a street art with those colors. There are kids in punk, goth and even lolita attires and they're mostly found in Shibuya, if I am not mistaken.

    I love these shots, but can't look at the lips of the girl in the first one without squirming!

    Happy WW!

    I wonder what they will think in about 20 years when they look back at pictures of themselves dressed this way?

    Fascinating look at a whole subculture. But I gotta ask, what's "punk" about the girl in the next to last shot? Is it the bling? The hat? Ohhhh... I get it... she's just hot ;)

    Wonderful work as always CK!

    Thanks for sharing what is happening where you are. Although I can't travel, one of the wonderful things about the internet is being able to experience different places, people and cultures through great sites like yours. Keep up the good work.
