Tokyo’s hot humid summer weather can be brutal. The Harajuku Fashion Walk crew decided that the best way to escape the heat was to throw a big summer-themed party inside of a nice cool air conditioned club. The party, held this last weekend in Tokyo, was the Summer 2012 edition of Pop N Cute. Like the previous Pop N Cute parties (Pop N Cute #1 & Pop N Cute #2), this one featured lots of cute Harajuku fashion, live music, dancing, DJs, art, sweets, pop up shops, and more!

    Great evening ! But I didn’t understood why me and my friends had to pay 2,800yen for the entrance. Because we were foreigners ?

    @Mnon – Hi! I guess we probably snapped you – those will be up next! :-)
    As far as the entrance fee, it was 2,300 yen or 1800 yen if you dressed in a yukata. But, as is often the case in Japan, even at major shows (for example at Zepp Tokyo), they charge an additional 500 yen for a drink ticket (which you can use to get a free drink once inside). I guess that must be something the club requires to get extra money or something. You can see the original price of Pop N Cute here: http://ameblo.jp/harajuku-fashionwalk/entry-11322847600.html And here’s the Zepp info, just to show you want I meant about big shows doing it too: http://shattered-tranquility.net/index.php/12/07/zepp-tokyo/
    The Harajuku Fashion Walk kids love people from other countries, so I’m sure they would like to charge less if they could! :-)

    Hi there,

    I will be moving to Tokyo in a couple of weeks to study at university and I was wondering how I would find out about events like these. Is there an official mailing list or is it just a case of being in the right place at the right time to be given a flyer?

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi! I’m an avid follower of your blog and Wow that is an awesome event – is there an online event site that features the latest happenings for Harajuku fashion scene?

    @Mnon, welcome to the world of japanese nightlife :) That just how it is wherever you go. I onace went to a club taht charged 4,000 yen entrance. That’s like $50 aud… or US.. however you wanna look at it. If you are in japan for long periods of time you get used to it.

    Japan has way higher salary rates, so if you live there, it doesn’t really matter. It all works out in the long run.
