Mountain Witches (Yamamba) spotted at McDonalds and other Shibuya pics

[CheapyD]

Mrs. Cheapy and I were hanging out in Shibuya and we decided to go for a little snack at McDonalds. I was finally able to sample the Filet-O-Shrimp (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75849) as it happened to make a suprise comback. It was quite tasty, but then again, you could deep-fry a sock and I would probably enjoy it.

Anyway, at McDonalds we spotted these Yamamba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamanba) just hanging out. As you can see, these girls are hardcore and were not cute at all.

Soon after I took this picture, several of their Yamamba friends showed up (including a few guys). I would have loved to get their picture, but I lost my nerve.

So they are kind of like Goth kids here?

[Scorch]

Wow. Those chicks scare me more than any goth kids here ever could.

[rocksolidaudio]

gnarly chicks.

[chakan]

um, wow.

Did they pull up to the McDs in a house on chicken legs?

[Heyricochet]

Ahh ganguro, the Japanese impression of valley girl mixed with the 80's. Just about one of the weirdest trends in fashion over there.

[megaseadramon]

Those crazy japanese and there witch trends.

[Danro]

Cheapy, will you stop by the ABC Mart and pick me up some asparagus, bell peppers, and cucumber? Thanks man.

[botticus]

Ack... what are the odds that the day I read this thread, 20/20 is doing a story in Japan about manners, and they interview one of those chicks?

[Sk8erlink7]

Ack... what are the odds that the day I read this thread, 20/20 is doing a story in Japan about manners, and they interview one of those chicks? Seconded. I thought that was kinda weird too.

[Michaellvortega]

what do they drop if you kill them?

LOL! Reminds me of WoW!

[CheapyD]

I had no idea what you were talking about until Daphatty posted...

Makeup of Darkness +1, Cursed Tanning Salon Pass, Cigarettes of Foggy Stink, etc...

Wow thats a really nice picture. I like that better than the "clear" one. Small artsy touch to it and it looks like you did it on purpose. Too bad you have no talent at all or you might get to be honorary site owner for/since the beginning of time :booty:

Lol - the one on the left is definitely the warrior. The one on the right is a mage. Her teacher of the Dark Arts recently commented on the excellence of her make up application skills, which is a high compliment in her line of work, so they went out to celebrate.

[Graystone]

Don't they only dress crazy on sundays? I heard that in something I saw about Japan. It might of been here not sure though.

[Ghostcri]

Lol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamanba) @ Yamamba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamanba)

So it's like the Japanese version of Goth?

[benjamouth]

Damn, if I walked into McDs and saw people like that I'd think I was having an Acid flashback.

[Noedskou]

Holy crap! Now that's some freaky shit...
I mean.. why the hell would you dress up like that ? It's totally ridiculus.

[lilboo]

:shock: That's exactly how I envisoned the "monsters under my bed" when I was younger :shock:

..So I was afraid of gothic japanese girls? :-s

Ahh ganguro, the Japanese impression of valley girl mixed with the 80's. Just about one of the weirdest trends in fashion over there.

I don't think Ganguro are as bad as Yamamba. Those called Yamamba definitely have the whole look going on MUCH more pronounced.
I actually saw a pic of a Ganguro whose look was fairly minimal and she looked kinda cute frankly.

Thats the Mcdonald's in Shibuya center street. If any CAGS visit Tokyo in the future, go to Shibuya on the Yamanote line and get off of Hachiko exit (the famous exit with the dog statue). The street blends on the left of that starbucks in Tetsuya Bookstore (which has the massive plasma TV on building)

[Link927]

Thanks, I'm going to post the video!

Has anyone found that video? It seems like an interesting watch. I found the story on the 20/20 site but thats about it

Couple of thoughts:

1. CheapyD said those chicks were ugly but I've seen worse in Oakland.

2. I find it amusing that word "Yamamba" is very similar to "Yo Mama"

3. No one has said in this thread "I'll stick it in her pooper" yet.

[AgentSushi]

I love shibuya the second best place in Tokyo behind Akihabara of course.

Missing Tokyo since July 21st 08 :(

[Loonknight]

I've seen worse living in SoCal as long as I have. Trust me, it could get uglier.

[mykevermin]

Truly, truly, truly outrageous.
