The new issue of world-famous and much-respected gentleman's periodical Men's Knuckle features a pretty terrifying "Gaki Knuckle" street snap spread. No doubt, the photogs were just walking down the block one day when they were suddenly accosted by a mob of toddlers wearing the latest in Shibuya-kei kid's wear (think garish American Casual, shiny military flight jackets, achingly distressed denim)...or maybe this is all the result of a tie-up between the mag and their stalwart brand advertisers like Buzz Spunky, Xfrm, Glad News, and Eightby. I can't really say for sure.
This I do know: Eightby is also pushing a sub-line of "Gal Gaki" wear, perfect for keeping the progeny of a blurry night at the club or a bitter divorce warm (and more importantly, "mote") when pulling an all nighter on Center Street.
Still, colour me nonplussed until Men's Knuckle champions Gaki tanning salons and Gaki trance CDs are released by Universal Music Japan. Their hair 'aint even spiky, let alone the proper shade of orange.
