Hijacked from member Neil.
Another place that you can go to if you are looking for cute girlies dressed up is Harajuku.
Go on a Sunday and you will see a load of them on the Harajuku Bridge. Go on a weekday at about 4PM and head to Takeshita Dori to see girls in their school uniform stopping by for some hanging out before they go home.
Nice video of Harajuku below.

Neils original text below.
I took a stroll around Harajuku today, with the purpose of taking a few photos. The bridge was quite but i still found a few cute girls around the place. Here's a few more from a past visit to Harajuku Bridge

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.

is this the same bridge where
1) the guy who wore a maid uniform and kiss and hug ppl for free?
2) the guy who was praying to a chicken?
3)ganguros hang out?

btw, all 3 girls look cute - especially like the right-hand side one. the one on the left looks like she needs some sleep.

  LOL, I was thinking the same. Love that "?" for the not-quite-Japanese girl. Maybe need more "?" for "Girl or guy?" ^_^;

I still wonder why feelings like this have to happen every time with you people.
They are dressed like that for the kicks, not to charm people.
... You listening? Hey, hey, stop drooling already. XD

These girls are probably in their teens. It is crazy how much power they have over fashion.

Btw, the one in the middle does resemble the "Mail mail" one in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei -forgot her name- (minus the smile).

  Hehe, maybe we went out of luck :) I was there last month on Saturday and expected something more but there (Harajuku Bridge) were only two "extraordinary" young girls!!! :( Really strange but I do not live there so I can't say if that day (or timing) was unfortunate or what ... hmmmm... really wanted to take some nice photos ... maybe next time ;)
