Reiko was a shop girl at 6%DOKIDOKI who left the field right before the colorful hallucinogenic Harajuku brand began going global. Not much is known what happened to Reiko since then ...but not much was known about her to begin with. She was taller than Yuka and left the scene soon after this pic was taken to take care of her mom who had fallen ill.
Sebastian said she Reiko was “a wild girl”, and she seemed to look like a day-glo Barbie doll that had been set on fire and left out in the rain. Her style was considerably more frayed and distressed than the direction that Japanese pop fashion would wind up going (consider Kyary or just look at Vani, her 6% shop girl replacement). I resurrect this picture from my vaults in the hopes that time does not forget her roughhewn texture: that of raver meets Shuji Terayama show girl.
