Project Update part deux
This is my final project update. For my project, I will take into consideration what Professor Mizenko said to focus on, so I will focus a little on the enjo-kōsai in Kogyaru girl culture. Along with this I will focus on the difference between Loli and Hime, because like Professor Mizenko said, it is very interesting that they can be so similar yet so different at the same time. I find ganguro girls fascinating, so I will focus a little more on them as well as why they have declined in Japan. I would also like to touch a little more on the history of Japanese consumerism and fashion (as well as the history of Western influence) so that I can have a better understanding of the development of identity through these subgroups. Hopefully, along the way, I can find more interesting visual representations that I could analyze.

Helen, this is an excellent update. The project sounds much more focused now, and the final project is something I'll be looking forward to.
