Japanese Girls


This commercial was just so damn annoying. It shows a girl talking about how she used to cause trouble for her Senpai (senior colleague) just by wearing glasses. She says that she just had to do something about it and getting contact lenses enabled the "real her" to "debut."
There's another commercial that I cant find where all her friends are laughing at her - so she goes and gets contact lenses to make them happy.
Anyway, some images of girls with glasses below taken from Alafista.com.




If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Because peer pressure is a good reason to get contacts. @_@;
As a girl with glasses, I appreciate those that appreciate the look.

Meganenekko forever!
Even my GF asked me if she should wear contacts and just said a big "NO!"
Oh man, I luv gals with glasses for all the ahem "wrong" reasons ... lol
try putting on glasses for ur various figurines, the effect can be rather amusing.
mechamodeler more like -$ than $$$$$
in my opinion glasses are there to make them look better not to make them uglier... and contax just takes the whole making look good effect away =
BTW for those who luv gals with glasses, try to search for the
写真 with the title Bijyou Megane either online or at ur bookstore.

There is no problem with wearing glasses, some choices that girls make are rather unfortunate and don't fit their face but no reason to ridicule them. What is getting popular here now is lenses that have a coloured rim, to get the puppy dog eye effect.

i've noticed those lenses on a cosplay pic somewhere on this site. i couldnt help think that it's about time!(and then i wet myself) the lens also had light and dark sides to it. it made the cosplayer that much more adorable!
...anybody got any pics of this new trend?
Like the last picture a lot. Stupid company thats makes cute Japanese girls who wear glasses switch to contacts.

glasses, when chosen and worn well, draw attention to the eyes and face. which is good if the girl is cute!

Girls wearing glasses are cute but I personally prefer girls without glasses. I'm wearing glasses as I type and I know how bothersome they can be, though contacts too have their disadvantage. Both are good and bad, it depends on what you prefer for what activity when deciding which to wear.

I don't want to be radical on this.
There are girls that looks better with glasses, and girls that looks better without them.
The girls Danny posted will probably look good with or without, doesn't matter.
As for who's using them... for some, it's more confortable to use lenses than glasses.
I use glasses. I'd use lenses but I think my eyes are kinda too sensitive. I have high pressure on my eyes, and they get irritated pretty easily due to the medicine I have to take everyday to lower that pressure.
About the ad, it's just plain wrong and stupid.

Ooh, that last girl looks really good with those glasses. I don't have a problem if a girl wears glasses or not, as long as they're not glasses from the '70s or '80s (those über big glasses which make you wonder if the nose likes to look through the glasses as well XD). ^^

Too bad I have a GF who hated glasses and wears contact all the time

i like girls with glasses. some girls look better without with but some are even cuter with it. but using contacts for someone elses sake? heck no.

I don't really see why anyone would dislike a girl for her glasses..unless they were Horn Rimmed Glasses ^^; But sometimes it does pull a girls look together, so I dunno.

My fiancee wears glasses. Need I say more? ^o^
Sometimes she wears contacts depending on the activity. Those of who wear glasses know how darn unpractical they are at times.
Personal, I like the retro frames that have become popular as of late. My fiancee has a pair she wears from time to time and she looks so darn cute...
It just really depends on the person's face. Like what some of the users have said already. Some people look better with glasses and some don't. All the girls that Danny have posted look good either way. Anyway Gakki in the last pic look very cute with the glasses.=)

I most prefer Long haired girls wearing glasses that really suits them... and short haired girls wearing contacts... but it depends.. there also be some cases that would be the other way around.

Unfortunately, most of you are wrong. Glasses would eventually mold into your faces if you wear them long enough. If you wore your glasses for about 5ish years, you're going to look slightly odd with contacts. I've worn glasses pretty much all my life, and now I can't stand how I look without them. I may eventually get laser eye surgery for some more permanent correction.
Glasses are pretty stylish nowadays. Why do you think wearing sunglasses is a symbol of cool?

I wear glasses too....some days I alternate with lenses...they give some kind of freedom of sight a strange kind of " I'm part of the flock " feeling.....but then again I cannot get rid of my glasses...it's just me ...I grew some kind of relationship with them throughout all those years.
Concerning girls with glasses....mmmmhhhh it gives them that extra misterious look " is she a sweety or a disguised demon ????? " ...love it ;)

I like gals with glasses. I have no particular attraction to them, but i dont find them off-putting at all.
I cant stand wearing glasses though, so i can sorta ephasise what these adverts are saying. I wear contact lenses whenever im out of the house.
Seems a bit cruel making an advert where all her friends are laughing at her though!

Hmm, I think I prefer Yu Aoi without glasses. Somehow, most girls here prefer contacts to glasses alright- I think they just don't want to be teased as moe.

So what do girls think about guys with glasses? Same deal the other way around?
I hate wearing glasses. much prefer contacts.

I think guys look better with glasses too for the most part. It just complements our looks as well as the girls.
I don't have a true preference though. I don't judge solely on appearance.

I think glasses put a whole new aspect to what a girl looks like. In the end it really depends on the girl. Some look more intelligent with it on, but some just look plain nerdy. Especially if their face is oily.

Sometimes glasses work to add to the beauty and other times, they detract from it. It depends on the person tho.
but the ad was just silly.

Yes, they are indeed cute...
Hmm, I'm not into meganekko because I wear glasses already and I would like to get LASIK treatment in a few years (wearing glasses since the age of... two or three -insert "?!" here- is quite annoying but at the same time I am used to it).
And the thing is that I can't wear contact lenses (too much a chore, rather dry eyes and my eyes are rather small).
For once there is no confusion between eyes and "eyes" in a post, I am rather positively surprised. If I may say. ^_^

Japanese girls + Very Long + Glasses = heart attack
lol i have the hots for girls with stupidly long hair, not saying that i dont like girls with shorter hair. in fact i dont mind at all! but personally, if i could choose id have a gurl whose hair is passed her ass!
but part way down the back is alright also but loses points in 'playability' :P yes i know im sad. but hey if you have to spend all eternity with somebody you love, might aswell make it for the right reasons :P

I personally love glasses-wearing girls. Either way is fine, but glasses really don't turn me away.
For me, I must wear glasses. I can never wear contacts, as they will destroy my eyesight, as will laser surgery. So, I'm stuck with glasses, but it's no great loss. Especially now I have a new pair to finalise payments on! ^_^

I think the idea that girls in glasses are not attractive, or that they women who wear glasses are more attractive without them is BS.
Yes, there are some who do look better without them. But it isn't like wearing glasses makes you suddenly hideous or anything.
Personally, I'm a big fan of girls in glasses, as can be seen on my website, and the 'Geek blog' I write for, Spwug. (http://www.spwug.com/)

you nailed it.
if you have bad eyesight buy these glasses that look so well on you and if your being very active buy these contact lenses that dont get in the way of others. give us your money.
...well, maybe some of the companies are sincere.
