HARAJUKU KAWAii & Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Coming to Japan Expo Paris 2012

HARAJUKU KAWAii is a popular Japanese fashion and music event about which TokyoFashion.com has been reporting for the last couple of years. Harajuku Kawaii features fashion shows from kawaii Harajuku-friendly fashion brands (including 6%DOKIDOKI), concerts by kawaii singers (including Kyary), special celebrity appearances, popup shops, and lots of fun. While 6%DOKIDOKI has made several international appearances and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu held a concert in Los Angeles last year, the entire Harajuku Kawaii experience has never been seen outside of Japan – until now!

Asobi System have just announced that the next Harajuku Kawaii – with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, 6%DOKIDOKI, Spinns Harajuku, and more – will take place at Japan Expo in Paris on July 8, 2012.

In addition to Kyary, Harajuku Kawaii in Paris will feature several of the top models from the Harajuku scene (including the always-amazing Una). Here is all of the Harajuku Kawaii info directly from the source (translated by us):
