colors, wild hair clips and bows, and tons of layering and accessories The accessories include plastic toys and

jewelry, which click together and make noise as the wearer moves The style is sometimes mistakenly called

"Fruits-style" by people not from Japan This style is mainly used by woman but also there are more and more

men that are using it

Girls are wearing colorful clothes and different types of hair accessories like pins, bows, alligator pins,

headbands and on their clothes they are using buttons and toys Make up is so important too and must be in

bright colors Girls can wear black clothes, but just if the accessories complement the look.

People in Japan are saying that girls that wear this kind of style didn’t have infancy, but it is clear that they just
