When I went shopping the other day, I found Rika-chan dolls with tanned, bleached hair, and in a high school uniform! Rika-chan is like Barbie here in Japan, and almost all girls of my age used to play with one. So you can imagine our surprise when we see her in a high school uniform with a short skirt, tanned face and pearl lips!
The amazing thing is that these dolls come with the correct uniform of any high school in Japan. You can even order one from a "catholic high school in Kobe". I didn't have chance to see what kind of people buy these, but it looks like the most popular one is a Rika-chan complete with cowboy hat and short pink skirt. Maybe you've seen her on the street in Shibuya?
