If you think Japanese fashion is all about quiet minimalism and blending into the crowd, think again. This week on Spill the Matcha, Misato and Cherine take a deep dive into the history, philosophy, and modern comeback of Gyaru culture.

Originating as a massive counter-culture movement in the 1990s and 2000s, Gyaru was a direct middle finger to traditional societal expectations of what a "good Japanese woman" should look like. Misato reminisces about the peak Heisei-era mania—from the dramatic Ganguro makeup to the iconic loose socks—while Cherine breaks down how modern Gen Z internet culture has sparked a massive, global "Neo-Gyaru" revival on TikTok and Instagram.
