It feels so weird when someone does Japanese gyaru style but says they don't know the icons of gyaru. This isn't about a generation gap... / Their statement

A's Company - A Stranger Appears, Everybody Watching On Me🔥 We Raided Ryu's Penna's Entire Closet💥

Ryu's Penna's statement My otaku comment wasn't meant to mock or dismiss anyone. While filming, we talked about all kinds of things and realized the genres we liked were a little different. The comment came up in that context. I hope there won't be any misunderstanding. We filmed all day and the atmosphere was genuinely great, so it really hurts to be misunderstood like this. I've never used the word “otaku” to dismiss anyone.

Also, I'm not a YouTuber who specializes only in gyaru content.

That said, since gyaru content is popular on my channel, I'll study it more deeply instead of focusing only on the outfits and styles you can see. After looking into it, I realized that while I'd seen a lot of material featuring Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki, I didn't really know their names or music! I don't usually listen to much music, and I'm the type who doesn't even know the names or music of famous celebrities from the era I grew up in, so I think I unintentionally disappointed people. I'll listen to all their songs and study more. I'll work to show everyone who always supports me even better content.

Thank you.

1. Namie Amuro Popularized kogyaru and styles like kuro gyaru, with tanned skin.

2. Ayumi Hamasaki Popularized spider-leg mascara eye makeup, hime gyaru and more.

Even if you don't know Namie Amuro's or Ayumi Hamasaki's songs, it's still a little surprising not to know the two of them at all... Namie Amuro started it and Ayumi Hamasaki carried it on. Blonde hair and leopard print were gyaru trends Ayumi Hamasaki introduced, and Kumi Koda came next... All three had different styles, but each left a major mark on gyaru...

I mean, sure, you might not know them, but wouldn't you check the references... if you're going to make that content...? The blonde hair, pale skin, leopard print, furry tail and all that collectively make up Ayumi Hamasaki's gyaru concept, so it becomes kind of an Um Oh Ah Yeh situation. Namie Amuro started with tanned skin...]]]]

They aren't simply singers who dressed in gyaru style—they're basically the originators of gyaru. Namie Amuro's tanned skin and charisma made kuro gyaru hugely popular, and people who copied that style were called Amuraa. She was someone women looked up to during the Heisei era. Styles like ganguro and tsuyome grew out of that look too

After that, shiro gyaru became popular with the pale-skinned Ayumi Hamasaki at its center, which allowed hime gyaru style to develop. They represented the Heisei era and were the people who led and shaped gyaru. They weren't just random people

First of all, nobody calls you an otaku just for liking Ayumi Hamasaki or Namie Amuro. People who love gyaru are probably angry because doing gyaru style without knowing them makes it look like you don't actually like gyaru—you just turned it into content to make money. You'd obviously be mad if you ate food made by someone who couldn't cook, right?
