The background group has gained huge popularity since being featured in Gwen Stefani's show, and even one of the pop-diva's songtitles was "Harajuku girls". The Harajuku name comes from a distyrict in Tokyo, Japans capital. There, every sunday, a variety of young fashionable Japanese gather with their Lolita, Gothic and Decora-outfits. The region around Harajuka station has grown to be the fashion capital of Japan.

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.
