Tokyo Kawaii TV-Australia's next top model episode

Like the tittle says, the Kawaii TV part corresponding to Australi's Next Top Model episode collab was posted here on egl.

I found it very interesting to see the point of view from the Japanese side!!
I mean...as you can find in the link above...the Australian models found the fashions odd.

When the girls appeared and met the Japanese guides...they were so tall!!!!! It made me feel like how I feel everyday here in AmericaXDDD I'm taller than the average girl here orz I have been surrounded by Japanese or Nikkei most of my childhood and is still the same here...I don't get my genes at all >.<

Sorry for the little rant...

The first model Jessica with Japanese school uniform guid: Hiromi!


I thought the clothes would be too short on her because of her height but I was glad that the clothes fitted nicely. Because as the guide Hiromi said, the look depends a lot on how the clothes fit, so if they fit a certain way it will not look like the Japanese school girl look.
But she pulled it of so nicely! She looked really really cute with those glasses on and ponytail!

Next model, Kelsey, was guided by beloved lolita model Misako~!!!

Many lolitas were upset by Kelsey's Bo Peep comment. Well...we can't expect much can we?
Misako was afraid of Kelsey's height. I understand this very well as I'm around 170cm while she is 173cm. So having a dress fitting nice and been long enough is a problem sometimes. Specially when Misako said that showing skin is not good in lolita. Many girls do it thou.
Misako was afraid that with knee high it won't reach the skirt part and skin will show and it would be...zettai ryouiki!!! and that is a NO NO for lolita that is supposed to be modest and not...sexualized at all.
But it all ended up good!!
Specially after the styling that gave Kelsey's mature face a really cute look~! And from model walk to lolita walk!!

Amanda, or Natural Beauty, like the commenter said; was next with her guide Yunkoro. The fashion style: gyaru!

I liked they showed some gyaru styles! I personally like rock style~!
I think Amanda felt more comfortable since gyaru clothing looks common in western eyes.
So Amanda ended up looking a bit..plain? She looked really beautiful but it was just not as eye catching for some reason. I really thought they could have styled the wig more. It was a really gorgeous wig btw! More eye make up too, the falsies looked really pretty on her and since it was said she doesn't wear much make up it was a good change. Loved the nails too! And she was really spunky on the run-way.

Last one was Sophie, with her fairy-kei guide Yuu!

I love her hair styling and handmade/modified clothing~!
It was funny when she said "nice body"XD I haven't heard that in a long time! I was happy!XDDD
It raised a good observation. Bodytypes. Japanese bodytype is very different of those of Western girls. As Yuu said, nice body=curvy body, is a big issue when wearing certain style. But they were able to pull it together and find a way for Sophie don't look voluminous on the hips and look adorable!
I really liked the wire trick!!! Now I know how to pull this off!!8DD

The judges were students  from a fashion academy and they had really nice fashion!! Actually...I think I saw someone that looked like Naoto!!!!(h.Naoto designer) I was like "o_o!!!"
It was very sad that lolita didn't win. And it was heartbreaking when Misako was crying! She really wanted to represent lolita fashionToT

Second part  we see Ikki and...BENI!!!! Sadly I missed her at AX10...no one wanted to go with me to see her ;o;
and...
HOSTS!!! HOSTS!!!! I really like host style!

It was interesting seen a French born host. I really liked his accent when he was speaking Japanese. It was so cute~!!!! I really like accents! And when they showed other foreigners...accents~!!!
I liked the the host styles they showed. "ojiisamakei?" "oujisamakei...please be careful"XDD
My favorite where oujisamakei and casualkei styles! Cute~!
I was very shocked when I saw their spending prices...it takes a lot of money to look the part of a good host orz
I was very happy to see the salon part!! What I like the most about host kei, besides the cute guys, is the hair!!! I looooove the hair. And we get to see what styles are the most popular!!! After all, like any fashion, you have to be updated!!
3- all back
2- all front
1- slant-front

The last part was Otaku-pop style.

I personally have never heard of it, but it was fun to see that otaku can be stylish as well!!
I think that if someone attempted wearing something like that here...would be...scene-like? At least with only the nekomimi people will say odd things about you and your otaku ways orz

This was an interesting episode!
You get to see a lot of Misako and her wardrobe!

I really recommend watching this episode and the Australian side as well!
