OraOra Magazine JAPSTA and Oraora inspired nail art

Posted by Mitsu | magazine scans,nails | | Wednesday 9 May 2012 4:33 pm comment

Japsta (ジャップスタ) is an Oraora magazine for men that showcases OraOra brands like a big catalog (amazon.jp link). I bought it last time in Japan and decided to take a few pics to show you the inside since it presents a different portrait than Soul Japan and Soul Sister.

It’s more low budget and only has 3 main models. One of which I have no idea how he got in there. With his awkward snarl to show his grill each time and Willie Nelson braids, I have absolutely no idea what Japsta was thinking.

More shop staff Niigata Alta. A short post, but I just love what these ladies are doing.

Runway Channel – Emoda – Niigata Alta

Niigata Alta had a special Runway Store where they sold Jouetie, Murua, Emoda, Laguna Moon and more brands all in one store. But the highlight of the store was this girl dressed in an agejo style all in Emoda brand. I thought she was so interesting. No nails for an agejo styled girl, but she got hairset. I just love how she decided to enjoy agejo within Emoda. I would have never thought agejo would work for all in Emoda, but she did it.

I’m heading back to Japan in 3 weeks and I realized there’s so many photos I haven’t shared yet! Like way too many. There are too many that you might get a mix of photo posts and brand info for a while.

Photos in this post mainly from Odakaya in Kabukicho, Shinjuku which has is on the same street as the Kabukicho Donki but is much easier to navigate and has the same eyelash selection.

Facebook is starting to become more popular in Japan and more brands are using it to put out information. Some facebook pages are super useful like (Glad News) and some are just blog feeds (Lip Service). I searched for all the gyaru brand facebooks I could find and used the star icon ( ) to show ones to recommend following.

Regular gals & sale notices

Don’t forget Universal-Doll now has a facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/UniversalDoll). There’s tons of supplemental gyaru and Japan information on it. We also just had our first discussion. There will be regular chats so people can get to know each other and maybe make some gyaru friends. I’d really like it to become a community where people participate instead listen to me talking (aka this blog )
