I thought this thing was just a gimmick connected to some idol group.

I was expecting to see Hikaru from Macross or Hikaru Sulu from Star Trek on a lighted shirt. Denied on both. Sad

If all goes well, Harajuku and Shibuya may have their future nights lit up by an elaborate rainbow night show from the Hikaru skirts. Smile

From the article:
Quote:
The light has a battery life of three hours; using the light for longer than that is not recommended anyway because of the heat it emits.

That could be a selling feature during cooler weather. Smile

The skirt isn't the only odd bit of wear in those pics. Note the "floating" platform shoes.

I guess you don't like the "Gothic Lolita" style. It looks pretty good on Ogasawara Rinko, aka "Goth Loli-sama" in Shirobako.

Or the wierdest explanation on the admission paperwork to the burn ward ever. The price we pay for fashion. Very Happy

Actually I quite like Gothic Loli-sama, but seeing the dress in real life just takes away all the beauty of it. That's just me though.

Sure are a lot of westerners in the backgrounds of the video and of the photos. Is that normal?

I don't know why such an idea would even be considered for crowdfund-ing when there are plenty of people that could do the project themselves.
