    Isn't that Aso San? I would recognise that sneer anywhere. Nice to know he's got something to fall back on.

    Ha!! Hilarious comment.

    JT - it would be nice to have an article explaining these guys and their poodle skirt gal pals. They all seem to take their "hobby" quite seriously.

    The Rockabilly dudes. Middle guy looks like he has just escaped from a concentration camp.

    Finally, some beefcake for the ladies!

    Agree, an article giving us the whys and wherefores of the Harajuku exhibitionists would be a good read.

    God forbid anyone doing anything different. What would please us JT posters would be a photo of some pasty dweeb in a dark room in front of a computer. Then we'll have nothing but positive contributions.

    Bar Linus in Matsuyama is a good rockabilly introduction. Great days.

    Is the guy on the right inserting something where the sun doesn't shine? Might explain his expression....

  • koneko22 at 11:31 AM JST - 1st September

    That guy in the middle is no "Elvis"

    Isn't that Aso San?

    You're right! On a second look I also recognize it's Aso-chan.

    I haven't been reading JapanToday for all that long, so these guys are new to me! A publication has to have some middle ground between pleasing its veteran readers and not expecting that the new ones already know everything.

    Seriously though, I didn't know people did that with their hair outside of cartoons.... yikes!

    I wonder what that guy on the left is looking or holding? and same with the guy on the right side holding and touching too? and it seems the guy in the middle is enjoying!

  • dr_jones at 12:44 PM JST - 1st September

    They are obviously all butt-naked! That's why you don't see more below. The guy on the left hold his Wiener while the guy on the right is inserting something where the sun doesn't shine (as noted before). This is a new offspring of rockabilly otaku culture. But I never saw them doing this in public!

    Moderator: For your information, they are not naked. Please lift the level of your contributions.

    Admittedly, if they were comedians I wouldn't be surprised if they used the usual crotch grabbing and butt smacking to get a laugh. But something tells me these guys take themselves very seriously, so I really doubt it...

  • kurisutofu at 01:49 PM JST - 1st September

    I mean who doesn't know about these guys.

    I didn't know ... well, I still don't know because there is no explanations with the pictures. I will have to google a little ...

  • Yelnats at 02:27 PM JST - 1st September

    I know this guy. He works at Deny's in Saitama-ken

    Rockabilly style never featured mullets with faux hawks, going shirtless or wearing sweat bands.
