Humans are animals and animals travel in packs. If you don’t believe that or you believe that you are different from everyone else, take a hard look at your life and the iPod you own; everyone is less unique than they think. Trends rule our life and guide us in all of our decisions. The financial stimulus being debated in Congress now came from a trend that has (re)arisen lately in the economics world that this type of recession requires a big dose of government spending. That doesn’t mean that those from the anti-tax days won’t put up a fight as they see their trend go to the wayside.
Anytime you worry about Walmart, remember Kmart. Whenever you worry about Google, remember AOL. My only advice to people is to figure out when the trend has peaked and try not to get trampled on the way down. Such foresight would make anyone super-rich.
With that in mind, the stereotype of Japanese people is a group of people that move in packs. If you go out with a group of Japanese people, you’ll notice that they usually defer to the next person when asked where they want to go or what they want to do. This “group” identity is seen as a unique characteristic of Japanese people.
I bet in similar situations, you the reader defer to the group unless you had something really in mind.
Well, in case you were wondering, the trend right now in Japan for girls is to wear boots, tights, and some sort of shorts or shirt. The comparatively mild weather over here in Japan allows people to look fashionable outside of a sweater.
One combination that is dying off right now is the jean shorts with sheep-skin trim (and tights/boots see pic). I went from seeing at least three or four girls every time I went out wearing those shorts to one or two times a week. It seems that the trend is on the way out. That doesn’t mean that the tights and boots have gone with those shorts. I’ve seen jean shorts without trim and the ever popular brown or gray shorts that are always accompanied by tights and boots.

Kintama still prefers his jeans/T shirt combo that he has been sporting, well, his entire life. It costs money to hop on and off trends like trains on your way across Japan; money I can’t spare on some fleeting moment in time. The decline of these shorts will happen just as comedy stars such as hard gay (HG see youtube video) have become distant memories.
However, people around the world love the heat of that fleeting moment and as long as time goes on, people will be hopping on and off that train; it doesn’t matter if you’re in Japan, Europe, China or the U.S.
