Christmas Eve is probably THE most important day for a Shibuya 109 Gal. This is very evident by all of the intense shopping and guy hunting these gals do in order to ensure they are not alone on the most important day of the year.. Christmas Eve. This of course may be true of all girls and guys, but I`ve never seen more intesity than in the faces and eyes of most gals I meet around the shops in Shibuya, Tokyo. Around this time, the shops are extremely busy including hair salons, nail salons, and specialty brand gift shops like Chanel, Gucci, etc. Not to mention, the Love Hotels, Restaurants, and Movie theaters are jam packed on and around this day as well. There are four very important phases of the Shibuya gal Christmas Eve experience.

Morning - This is backstage time where Japanese guys and gals are busy preparing for the big day ahead. I can only imagine the number of hairspray cans that are used on this day, not to mention the loads of perfume, makeup, cologne, etc. There`s always a sweet smell in the air on Christmas Eve morning in Shibuya 109 Tokyo!

Afternoon - This is the activity or the event that the guy presents to his gal. Many will go to some Christmas festival, shopping, see a movie, walk around the park, etc. There are numerous events on this day so planning early is essential and the more romantic the better. Guys must have plan on this day so do your homework and get it right. Shibuya gals love to compare about who is doing what, so you want to impress here and above all it must be romantic.

Evening - The dinner is the most important time I think. It`s critical to the Shibuya 109 Gal, so guys make sure you get that reservation in place and don`t screw it up. You do not want to be one of the many couples standing in line waiting for the smart ones who got a reservation beforehand first. A Shibuya gal will definitely crank up the sex appeal and charm if she gets to go ahead of the line.

The dinner is where promises are made, that special gift is exchanged, and where everyone looks around comparing their guy or gal to one another. It`s funny to watch everyone doing the same thing, but interestingly enough, this is what they all do. The Shibuya Gals look absolutely sexy and stunning during this time and believe me they have invested a lot of time and money into their look, so it`s absolutely essential that guys give them space to show their stuff and take pride. Again, I stress, never screw up the dinner reservation. They will no doubt dump you very quickly because it`s probably the most important day of the year.

Night - This is where many couples hit the love hotels or equivalent. Some will check out the dance clubs, but overnight stays at the hotels start from 10:00 PM, so going early is what they usually do, otherwise you may find yourself at 1:00 in the morning looking for a place to stay. You do not want your gal walking around in high heels and miniskirt or dress out in the cold because you elected to dance instead of getting proper hotel roomkeys. You cannot get reservations at a love hotel. They are first come first serve, so again guys need to pay attention and get those rooms asap. If you are out there dragging your gal around the dance clubs, you might also want to rethink your priorities. Chrismas eve is a time of romance and intimacy in Japan so finding privacy is essential rather than public hoo haw places. Take your gal out dancing on New Years Eve in Japan, that`s the time to party and dance.

Again, my advice to the guys is to call it an early night and get a great room. Note you usually can`t leave the room once paid for, so you need to get your stuff together before you enter. ( Some have exceptions, but most frown upon people coming and going ). The Love Hotels are awesome so enjoy!

Finally in the morning..go slow and check out many of the excellent coffee shops in Shibuya. You`ll no doubt be seeing all the other couples half awake drinking coffee and chatting away. Most likely it will be a beautiful sunny day!

This photo was taken from the latest December issue of Egg Magazine in Japan which is a popular fashion magazine for young gals in Japan. Most of the gals photographed in the magazine are photographed in and around the infamous Shibuya 109 shopping center in Tokyo, Japan. Shibuya 109 is the Japanese Fashion Gal center of the world no doubt. For guys, it`s pure eye candy and a must see if you are ever in town. You won`t see anything quite like it especially if you visit during any exciting fashion trend.

So, what are the Shibuya gals doing now? Well, lots of things and they certainly have lots of looks. The photo below depicts what they are wearing of late. Over the knee boots are probably the biggest thing now. They cost over two hundred dollars for most popular pairs of knee high or over the knee boots and it`s quite common for gals to have 2 or 3 pairs of them. Most notably popular are the shiny types as you see in the photograph. It gets cold in Japan and with the arrival of the micro miniskirt and hotpants, I think the gals are going longer with the boots to stay warm.

You`ll also see plenty of colors ranging from yellows, purples, pinks, whites, reds, etc which is very common with the Shibuya 109 Gal. Hair, nails, makeup, and tans are also very popular however, the excessive makeup made popular by the Manba Gal has somewhat taken a break. It`s still there and in my opinion will always have a place in Shibuya, but the trend at the moment is more centered on the boots and tight clothing rather than the makeup and hair. However, for the Shibuya Gal it`s all about the complete package and not one particular thing, so you`ll definitely see them doing there best to incorporate all areas of the look as much as possible.

You will also notice more long sweaters and longer trenchcoats as the Winter season approaches. Why the long coats?? Well for one it does get colder and it`s a pain in the neck driving in Tokyo, so many of these gals have to walk the streets or catch the trains. Another important reason is the fact that when I say miniskirts, I mean extremely short skirts. Most gals in Japan wear T-backs and so if they climb the stairs in the train station or ride the escalator, they most surely will reveal their underside, so it`s a must that they have some way to cover up. Many will simply use their hands, handbags, or their boyfriend to stand behind them. Those stairs are steep and believe it or not, there are actually guys who stand at the bottom waiting for gals to forget they have to cover up.

To the guys..if you want a great view you have to actually get into the Shibuya 109 stores and shop with the gals. This is extremely hard to do if you don`t have a Japanese Gal yourself because Japanese men do not usually enter the stores, but rather stay outside the shop and wait. I find this to be insane because it is so much fun hanging out inside the stores with your girlfriend ( in my case my wife ), and talking with all the staff. It is so funny to see all the Shibuya Gals walking into the store with long coats on and suddenly taking them off as they enter the shops. There`s a huge rush of confidence, excitement, and fun that fills the air for these gals of all ages inside Shibuya 109. So do check it out and definitely bring your own gal. That`s important!

As the title states, there is a bit of an 80`s boom happening in fashion around Shibuya 109 and Tokyo. Bodyconsious or Bodycon in Japan was very popular in the 80`s made evident by such clubs as Juliannas. Bodycon is simply wearing as little as possible while at the same time wearing your clothes skin tight. In the photo below taken from the November issue of Blenda magazine in Japan, you`ll see some of the classic characteristics of the 80`s Bodycon style with the tight knit mini-dresses, belts, and boots. Knee high and over the knee boots were not as popular during the Bodycon 80`s, but rather high heeled pumps. However, boots seem to be the prefered choice of footwear this season. The pumps are emerging though, but they may not last long, who knows. We`ll know that come Spring. What will be interesting is to see how far this Bodycon comeback goes. Already I`m seeing other characterisics of the Bodycon style with the bright colors coming out such as yellows, purples, pinks, and reds. Plus you see more full bodied hair styles and perms. In addition, the wide use of large gold accessories such as belts, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings are all making a comeback. It will also be interesting to see if any new clubs like Juliannas pop up as well. Stay tuned as I`m sure I`ll be revisiting this topic again soon.

Here is a cover shot of the December 2006 issue of Egg Magazine. Most notable here is the trendy new fur jacket look and the denim micro miniskirts. Both are very popular now. You will also notice the big black belts and buckles. Plus animal prints seem to be making a comeback as you can see with the gloves the gal is wearing. Pink, Red, and Black are also popular colors this season which is pretty much true during every Holiday period especially around Shibuya 109 and Tokyo. I should also add that long hair extensions are still the big thing in the hair department. Enjoy!

You still see plenty of gals like the one pictured below in many of the Shibuya 109 clubs scattered around Tokyo. This particular gal is close to the Manba look, but most importantly is wearing one of the more popular styles of mini dresses. This short look with the big belt is extremely popular among the young club gals. Down below in a previous post, you`ll see a similar look. All gal styles wear something similar to this sort of fashion look.

Micro Minis are back and they are very popular around the Tokyo, Shibuya city area. This is one of many shots from the November 2006 issue of Nuts magazine. I have quite a few other magazines like Egg, Cawaii, and Ranzuki from this month and they are all showing the same thing. Mini shorts or hotpants, micro miniskirts, and micro mini-dresses are all very popular. So how do the Shibuya 109 Gals get away with showing so much? Well here are a few pointers from a guy who has a gal who listened to a few tricks of the trade.

First, you have to mingle with others in a similar crowd. I mean if many gals are walking around sporting micro minis than it`s much easier of course to join the group. At least that`s what most Japanese gals think. If you have the charisma and confidence to go do it alone that is fine too. As you should all know by now, anything goes in Japan.

Second, to fight the cold and initial jitters of wearing a micro miniskirt, put on a nice fashionable trench coat to cover up when outside. You will get hot when shopping in Shibuya 109 or some other shop, but that`s ok. You can simply take off the jacket, drape it over your arm and cover one side of your body.

Third, is to be sexy and confident. If you worry about what you wear, how you look, or whether people are staring at you or not, it will most certainly show. Most gals I see in Shibuya 109 couldn`t care less about what people think. They love the look, fashion, shopping, and just plain having fun. Thus they just move on and have fun.

Finally, it doesn`t hurt I`ve been told to have a nice looking guy to hang on to. Many Japanese girls I`ve met said they could wear just about anything, no matter how sexy, short, or whatever, if they had a nice looking guy clinging next to them. For some reason, many Shibuya 109 Gals feel secure and more confident with a hot guy next to them. Thus you`ll often see the guy dressed in black walking casually with his gal looking pretty proud I might add. It`s funny but true.

Or … just mingle with the other sexy gals in the shops. That seems to work too.

Enjoy and have fun!!

Here`s a great shot of Reiko Nakano in this month`s issue of Nuts magazine. I`m not quite sure a gal of this caliber is doing a photoshoot for Nuts since it`s not that great of a magazine, but nonetheless, it`s nice to see here again all decked out.

I`m very glad to see that knee high boots and miniskirt dresses are coming out strong this year around in the Tokyo Shibuya area. This is a the classic look from back in the late 90`s with a few minor but great changes. First, the platforms are gone, but the knee highs are here which is not a bad replacement. The miniskirts and dresses are similar in style along with the nice looking thick belt and buckles. Gold is huge this fall and winter for accessories and trend is to think big, bad, and gold!! Although in this shot the necklace is a bit smaller, trust me, the big gold and “bling” style jewelry is definitely in as well. Also, I should mention that the trenchcoat style is popular along with the waist line cut jackets too. So far reds, pinks, and blacks are popular colors probably because Christmas is coming soon. Time for the Shibuya 109 Gals to snap into sexy high fashion gear. Already in November you see it happening.
