That’s right, we’re heading out over the next few months to catch up on the best Japanese festivals the UK has to offer:
Japanese Art Festival (Aug 21st/22nd) – with events ranging from a lolita fashion show to traditional Japanese music, there’s something for everyone. Don’t miss out on the manga workshops and kawaii culture panel from 6%DokiDoki!
Japan Matsuri (Sept 18th) – judging by the runaway success of last year’s festival, we’re looking forward to a full-on fun-filled day!
Hyper Japan (Oct 1st/2nd/3rd) – from cosplay carnivals to hand-made sushi, it’s going to be a great three day celebration of the best of Japan! We’d also like to mention that HJ has put out a call for models (see here for more details) so if you’d love to be transformed by the Kera magazine stylists, working with amazing brands like Innocent World & Angelic Pretty, what are you waiting for? Did we also mention that you get to keep your outfit after the show? (I’d be all over this if I wasn’t too tall…) Good luck!
If you’re actively involved in the Japanese fashion sub-culture scene in the UK and attending these events, we’d love to talk to you! From gyaru to gothic lolita we want your opinions for forthcoming interviews!
Samuel and I are also working on something pretty fab, so keep your eyes open for a special announcement from us in the next few weeks! Keep your fingers crossed…

Wow! Exciting!! I thought my trip to Japan later this month was cool, but there’s so much going on in the UK, I’m amazed!
There’s loads of events going on, not to mention smaller meet-ups and gatherings… I think we’ve got it pretty good here actually!
If your fashionable travels take you over this side of the world, I’m sure the UK could show you a good time!

Oh wow, I’m actually in the UK for work soon and have a day off on the day of the Japanese Art Festival. We should meet up
Great! I think we’ll be doing a few interviews that day so we might be rushing around quite a bit, but it would be fun to catch up!
We can chat nearer the time & arrange something
